What's Call of Duty WW2 like in 2021? Ahead of the release of Vanguard, let's check out Sledgehammer's last game from 2017.
The PlayStation Summer sale expands with a load of new discounts.
Including indies I’ve bought like more than 20 games, good deals all around.
Told my partner to stop me from browsing. We'll see how that goes, the first part of the sale already got me.
Anthem 85% off? Thought they went free to play. Has the game gotten any better?
Edit-Nvm, it's Europe anyway.
I might finally go for Black Desert. I've been playing ESO (without MTing my characters) for some throw away entertainment, but the combat is so "#$&&%.
Highly recommend the "metro saga bundle" £25 all 3 games and all DLC plus free upgrade for ps5 exodus 😊
Going back to a chapter in history they haven't touched for over 10 years? I think it's ok to bring us back to this war time. And this is from someone that is no fan of COD games. The only 3 I enjoyed were COD4, W@W, & Black Ops1. I'm looking forward to this game.
I gather you don't like Call of Duty much. Maybe I misread but I'm pretty sure there is no way a "copy" of BF1 could have been done. Call of Duty is on a three year dev cycle now and these discussions of going back were happening since AW launched. DICE and EA were probably talking about BF1 since BF4 launched.
Running out of ideas is a bit of a stretch. The critiques on modern combat and a yearning for old school Call of Duty were happening since Black Ops. This game, in my opinion, is both fan service and a passion project for the devs at Sledgehammer. Granted, it also happens to line up with Activision's interest; I'll give you that. It is no secret that Sledgehammer had been wanting to do a game like this for years. They even wanted to do a third person Vietnam game.
There's been over 11 iterations of what COD modern warfare started. They were bound to run out of ideas. The online mode has been the same through and through since cod4. No major overhauls nor memorable changes. It's the same formula year after year with only a fresh coat of paint and new multiplayer packs. This new one coming up will be just like the others. Same gameplay, same perks and mechanics
This article is clickbait.
They can spin it anyway they want but when Call of Duty doesn't consistently beat every other game every year after year then maybe they've run out of ideas.
The bottom line is money, their user base is huge for a reason, they love the series and know what to expect.
Which is why they should go back to their roots if they cant think of good new ideas.
