Rumours abound that Call of Duty is going back to World War 2. IS it time for the series to return to its roots, or would doing that jeopardize losing the entrenched multiplayer fanbase?
MP1st - As fans dig deeper into the recently teased Call of Duty 2015 viral videos, new discoveries are beginning to at least narrow down the possibilities with regards to the game’s setting or story.
"The 101st Airborne Division is mostly noted for its involvement in World War 2 — the D-Day landings and airborne jumps"
Just say this is World at War 2 and i will do one thing i have never done in my life in a COD game, buying it Day 1.
Please Treyarch, go back to the World War era. Enough of the futuristic BS!
Maybe they will do a transition between the past and the future. We have to wait and see but whatever Treyarch is cooking up there, i am very interested to try it.
I will pre-order this game tomorrow if it is WW2.
I want a WW2 game so bad! Next gen D-Day? Mind = blown.
I would like for them to go back to WWII as well but be aware that the 101st also had a vast history of involvement in Vietnam as well. They arrived in 65 and when the full division deployed in 67 it was the largest airlift directly into a combat zone.
if they do WW2 I will buy it day 1...
only problem left is that COD developers could not manage to create a proper hardcore WW2 (meaning less of those jumps, explosions and all Hollywood BS, just want beautiful nature maps with great real guns) with hardcore mode in it obviously! :) lets just hope they will do everything fans ask for!
EDIT: @ morganfell - Vietnam is still 10 times better than any kind of auto locking self jumping future setting with explosions..
SolidStoner,
No disagreement from me on that issue. It wasn't my point. I merely wanted to illiuminate that the 101st has more of a history than WWII alone.
As regards the Blackhawks, Special Operations Aviation Assets that preceeded SOAR (Task Force 160) possessed Blackhawks before the 101st.
If they are referencing Ardennes and the modern era then it is possibly another dual timeline outing. One can only guess what occurred fighting the Germans that has implications in the present or near present. It is a good thing we have never seen that scenario before...
Personally, I'm not a fan of WW2 games, but if it is I'm glad a game in that time frame is being made.
It seems like devs either go all WW2 or all modern. Why not mix it up a little?!
That said, I really like the direction of CoD:Advanced Warfare.
That said, I really like the direction of Cod:Advanced Warfare....really with the Goliath glitch that everyone is doing and sledgehammer not doing anything to fix the problem,that's what you called good direction
If it goes back to world war 2, this will be the first call of duty I've bought since black ops 1 back in 2010. If not I will be skipping it again.
Maybe i'm overreacting, but the sight of anything CoD makes me sick to my stomach.
I'm just sick of seeing anything related to CoD. I can't stand the series anymore. The fact that the impending influx of news concerning another CoD game is making it's yearly return makes me sick.
If seeing news about a video game makes you "sick" then I'd say that's overreacting. Plus you are commenting on said article.....
Technically Black Ops is the sequel to World at War unless they make a second World at War that features more Reznov and the events that followed after the first.
If it comes down to it I'd prefer it to be set in Black Ops setting over Black Ops 2. I sincerely hope there won't be 4 successive near future Call of Duty's in a row.
MP1st - A potential viral marketing campaign for Treyarch’s upcoming Call of Duty 2015 title has allegedly been discovered inside a recently updated build of the studio’s previous title, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
I think it's unbelievable clever to market "Black Ops 3," or whatever it is, this way. I bet fans are flooding Black Ops 2 servers at this very moment looking for more clues. I know I hopped on right away.
Ill play whatever call of duty comes out next but World at War 2 would be a nice change of pace after playing the modern setting for the past 6+ years.
I won't be buying either cod until way later. (BO3 or WAW2) I already have AW and i'll continue to play that.
AW is one of my favorite cod games, I like it more than Bo2.
I'm just bummed out from buying them,but this doesn't effects anyone else purchase. I'll just get it when the price goes down.
I won't be buying this if it's anything other than WW2... if I don't buy this years CoD, I will stick to AW like you are. Its a lot of fun
Earlier this year Activision announced that they will be releasing a new Call of Duty game developed by Treyarch this fall. Currenly there are 3 developers who develop CoD titles - Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Treyarch.
On Twitter well-known industry insider Shinobi602 has released tweets regarding the movement system for the upcoming Call of Duty game.
every new COD has some one saying that its going to be nothing like the last, the only thing that seems to change is the quality of the game and thats a decline each time.
MW3 was the worst along with Ghosts. Advanced Warfare was a definite upgrade from previous Call Of Duties, but I'm still hoping for another decent Modern Warfare game like the first 2.
Call of Duty: United Offensive, Call of Duty 3, and World at War already had vehicles.
I hope it's not another futuristic call of duty. I hate the jet pack crap in Advanced Warfare. Totally stupid.
Agreed. The exo suits get old and boring pretty fast, and kinda messes with the online play's balance.
Futuristic shit is a turn off to me as well. Why can't they just create a Black Ops game around the Gulf War & Desert Storm period or something, if they don't want to go back to WW I or II.
I trust Treyarch, so I can't wait for the next Call of Duty
Yes it is I am tired of this futuristic stuff. I would even take a MW2 remake over a new game.
Yes, with guns like No Land Beyond ;)
Yes. I'm so tired of the modern/futuristic military FPS games.
Yes yes yes
