It's not call of duty proper. It's a no name third party company sledgehammer games making it. It's like mass effect andromeda not being made by bioware proper.

Yes, it will be fucking awful.

Last time Sledgehammer made a CoD game (AW) it was dogshit that split the community. They're once again trying to change up the formula and I simply don't trust them to make good decisions, especially this time with something that's already been played out.

The animations, especially the mouths look like shit from 2005.

>WW1/WW2 game #98723948234
It's not even a matter of whether it's good or bad at this point, the setting has been squeezed so dry I simply can't be bothered to give a fuck and barring unforeseen circumstances will never play it.

Advanced Warfare had a better fan reception than any of the previous CODs.
Infinite Warfare, Black Ops 3, and Ghosts all were less popular.

>CoD but WWII
Isn't that where CoD started?
Wasn't CoD 1-3 and 5 WWII?

The multiplayer will be pay2win microtransactions again so no, CoD is effectively dead.

Yes

BO3 had far better fan reception than AW

>BO3 had far better fan reception than AW
No way. Not even close. It was actually pretty panned by a huge part of the base.

I'll be perfectly honest, I completely fucking forgot that Ghosts existed

Why does everyone say ww2 is plated out? The last ww2 game I played was Wolfenstein TOB and that wasn't even a proper ww2 setting. Unless you caount maybe the sniper elite games but I fucking hate the futuristic garbage everyone's been pumping out.

BRING BACK THE RUSSIANS

Best fucking part of WAW. American point of view is so tiring

Nah. BO3's reception was mixed at best. Most fans prefer black ops 1 and 2 more still. Hell, Black Ops 2 on Xbox One has more players than 3 does.

Theyre Underage idiots.
We're due for a COD WW2 game.

Fuck the russians I want to play on the pacific and fuck up some imperials. Not play as some dirty communist.

Surprised anyone could forget that Ghost's dog was basically the only positive take away from the Xbone announcement

Wait until E3 when they show multiplayer and singleplayer before judging. I'm waiting until the last few weeks for leaks.

I actually think it's the opposite. They probably grew up in a time where ecery single fps was in ww2 like cod 1-3 Medal of Honor and Battlefield 1942. So they'cve been exposed to it a lot more I think.

>Players do not recover health or ammo passively. You cannot simply get hit, hide behind some cover, and heal up. You need to call upon your squadmates to get health packs, ammunition, or even covering fire. This makes getting hit carry a significantly more weight than other Call of Duty titles, as taking a bullet has consequences every time.

Apologize.

I don't get this whole meme about "WOW WWII GAMES ARE THE LE BEST." It's been done 1000 fucking times. Even when I played WaW I got bored of the setting and that was probably 10 years ago.
The only thing that would make me buy this is a nazi campaign but that will never happen.

The "official" company just made the worst Call of Duty by far, and a very bad game in general.

"Infinity Ward"s last 3 games (MW3, Ghosts, Infinite) were fucking garbage. They need to be let go

nb4. Yes I know IW is now actually making sitty Titanfall games

They apparently didn't get the weapons right as far as what was being used at that point in the conflict. And instead of using actual real life models for the tanks on the US side, they made non correct slightly bigger models.

I'm so disappointed they fucked up the vary roots they started with.

Have any spec requirements been out yet

I actually enjoyed Ghosts

Burma campaign when

Video games are inherently a complete waste of time unless you're making a profit.

I want the Americans to call Japs Japs.

Also, most of the Reds were just poor farmers without any real understanding of politics. The rest were brainwashed fools kinda like you'd find in any country.

they already confirmed you are forced to play as a cunt
exactly 0%

at least you know what you're getting from CoD, now adays that's rare as fuck from triple a games.

CoD isnt just bad because the awful setting, it's the shut gameplay design too. Nothing will change. It will be the same fast and loose horrid craps since MW2.

Sounds like they're going to be introducing some classic FPS mechanics, like health packs rather than regenerating health, so it's possible.

That being said, the perspective they've chosen for WW2 has been done to death and is incredibly fucking boring. But it does have potential to be decent despite that.

its going to be worse than my years in high school.

why cant they make some Alt-History COD, like the Cold War going red hot in 1985 or some kind of historical divergence where Alexander the great died as a 110 year old and had conquered the everloving fuck out of all of Earth, fast forward to a NOT 2005 or so.

FPS's could be fun again and have an interesting premise without having to make the same goddamn game over and over again.

BLOPS 1 is better than 3

Riley was pretty BASED.

Are you seriously discounting the legendary fish AI that game brought to the table?

Are you telling me that didn't change everything?

just play Wolfenstein then
Black Ops is as close as you'll get to alternate history but even then the nukes weren't launched anyway
they don't make the games for their campaigns, theyre an afterthought hence the reason why everything after mw2 is shit

What I was getting at was an entirely different setting, instead of WW2 GAME 288,397,784,126,189.

even license the rights to The Years of Rice and Salt for a different experience, and give us a Chinese vs. Islam World War that lasted 60 years in total conflict and mayhem.

I wish MAG hadnt died.

It's going to have a campaign like every WWII flick and a few zombies easter eggs. Multiplayer will be like old-school CoD but will probably be bland and boring because they'll be too scared to make things enjoyable like in MW1/2 because of muh esports and muh balance.

Last I checked, Infinite Ward were the ones who renamed themselves to Sledgehammer.

That's an alright idea.

I mean they've exhausted about every timeline possibility so where do you go from here.

>call of duty will never be good ever again
>infinity ward split and most people left to form respawn and sledgehammer
>haven't made a good game since Modern Warfare

Why not just remaster CoD 2?

the fact that it's a us campaign raises a lot of flags.
Not holding my breath

as long as it doesn't have those cancerous rocket jumps and playable dykes i'll check it out

Unfortunately no, Supply drops and weapon variants have completely destroyed any ounce of good this series had left.
It is straight P2W garbage and it's only getting fucking worse from here on out, no matter what era of war they choose for. Even the fucking CoD4 Remaster had supply drops, it's an absolute joke.
The generation Z are literally retarded and will buy this because it's their first WW2 experience, thus feeding the CoD cycle once more.

let's be real here

COD1 expansion United Offensive was the peak of the series anyway.

Infinity ward left after MW2. What you see is a shell of a team re-combined to poop out games every dev cycle.

>implying Infinity Ward made good games

Yeah Treyarch did so much better building off IW's success. kill yourself WAWfag. There's a reason Titanfall 2 sold well and advanced warfare tanked.

modern warfare is the reason why this series went to complete shit in the first place, the sole reason CoD is a fucking meme factory that employs pre-teens

>Supply drops and weapon variants have completely destroyed any ounce of good this series had left
the gameplay already went to shit after CoD 2 though

It's a video game, so no.
