Why can't we ever play as the Russians? When they were invaded by Hitler, and were caught totally off guard and came close to losing their country but somehow miraculously ended up turning the tide and then went on the offensive smashing Hitler's army's all the back to Berlin and along the way were the first to discover the Jewish bodies and concentration camps.
I want Hitler and Stalin to be in the game, and I want concentration camps and stacked up bodies or murdered Jews. Will we see some of that in Call of Duty WWII?
@Lightning Mr Bubbles: Call of Duty World at War also has you playing as a Russian against the Germans. Viktor Reznov is highly featured along with the journey of the Germans invading them the Russians fighting back to reclaim Russia along with venture into Germany.
Originally, Call of Duty heavily focused on different fronts of WWII from the perspective of various allied soldiers. I don't think any of them were 'just' Americans. They localize languages for all kinds of reasons, but literally everything you mentioned in your first post was in CoD 2. It opened as a direct rip from Enemy at the Gates (your russian sniper name was even 'Vassili'), and surrounded the theme of where Russia finally pushed the Germans back beginning in Stalingrad.
There are many other allied 'things' throughout the original games.
They've done the Normandy invasion before in CoD, but this is straight out of Saving Private Ryan almost shot for shot for the first 30 or so seconds. Many other parts lifted from Band of Brothers; so will likely have Canadian, British, and other allied personnel involved. I'm not complaining; most of these movies/shows released before the average CoD player was born, so good for them with introducing the theater with what worked before. there was a time where CoD as a franchise borrowed from other mediums in an overall positive way...when they have nothing to go off of, it's been a whole lot cheesier.
Yeah, I know you're right....I just mean I never really know how the game "feels" until I see it actually being played, "in game" scripted trailers are great but watching gameplay is the next best thing to playing it for myself.
No doubt they wish to save a little something for E3 :) so likely this will be a case of live gameplay demo from SP/MP at E3 and then the PS4 beta. Can't wait.
Just another WW2 game which we've had hundreds of. I like that we're steering away from future crap and exo suits and all, just was hoping for a different setting that hasn't been milked to death like the cold war era, korean war, gulf war, etc.
Buddy you seriously got to be joking me are you literally going to pretend that a switch version is coming? I mean even after Battlefront 2 and Destiny 2 I thought you probably would have got the picture that the majority of third parties are treating this like the Wii and the Wii U they're just going to skip it you would have to be a complete Neanderthal to honestly believe the same situation a third time would yield different results.
This is exactly what a majority of us predicted was going to happen to this system it's going to keep getting shafted just like the previous ones.
@EDMIX - hey.. unruffle your panties for a second. I literally just asked where the platforms were confirmed based on that trailer becuase there certainly wasn't any confirmations in that thing.
I could care less in the end if it skips the Switch because if I want to play this game I will buy it for my PS4 or my PC anyways..
Funny how guys like you jump on anything anyone says, regardless if it's just a question.
The Switch version will be announced at a later date, just like Black Ops 2 was announced on the Wii U at a later date. I'd be pretty stupid for Nintendo not to get this game on the Switch.
So are some of you guys seriously not realizing that this is simply just the same situation of the last previous platforms?
I mean if you believe the switch version is going to be announced at a later date I'm not entirely sure how you're able to also understand that the Wii U was not powerful enough for these games but somehow something's changed with the switch.
Nothing's changed their platform is still not the same power as the current gen, you're going to get the same result I'm actually pretty surprised that some Gamers still need to be told this, so do you need 4 platforms to be weaker to tell you this? How about 5? Is it going to take you five Nintendo platforms that are weaker than the current generations to let you understand they're not going to receive these type of games?
Are you guys legitimately telling me over 10 years of this happening wasn't enough to let you understand this concept?
I know right because arms is going to be the best fighter of the year and win game of the year right?
Weather you like Call of Duty or not this game is likely going to be one of the top rated first person shooters this year regardless of how you personally feel
the team that makes Call of Duty games does a fantastic job almost every time regardless of how you personally feel or even me for that matter and I've stopped buying the Call of Duty games since Modern Warfare 2 but I'm not going to sit here and pretend as if they make bad quality because I've decided to no longer play it please at least stop exaggerating your hate that this isn't showing up for the switch.
If there's anything that I hate more that it's people overstepping their bias and absolutely exaggerating the quality of a game based on their own personal hate.
You sound like you would give a bucket of sludge game of the year if it appeared on the Nintendo switch.
Nintendo switched off on specs and can't even get a cod game published on it. Which is fine cause we all know it's just a console for playing Mario and friends titles
They will. Perhaps not with the gameplay (that falls more on the Developer anyways) but certainly with their practices surrounding maximizing profit (Season Passes, Micro-transactions). It's Activision, when have they ever not screwed things up for the consumer?
Except this DOESN'T look good and is not a well edited video at all Fox. Here is the other thing. I HIGHLY doubt Sledghammer was working on this game since Advanced Warfare came out in 2014.
Didn't Activision get working on a WWII game since the disastrous lead up and fallout over COD Infinite Warfare? It looks like this game is going to be rushed, immensely.
This trailer with its awful stiff animations and weird facial animations, at specific times, really point to this. Really surprised they didn't go with a more honorable style trailer with nice early COD/Medal of Honor inspirational style music.
Looks fantastic and this is how World War 2 is suppose to be told. That part at the start was straight out of private ryan brutal. This will probably be the best world war campaign ever told.
I don't think you get to play the parts where US & Soviet soldiers mass raped German women. Or when US soldiers collected body parts of dead Japanese soldiers. Pretty sure Activision will leave that out.
Regardless of that being true or not, it wouldn't make the game less historically accurate. There were millions of different good and bad things going on in the war, focusing on one portion of it does not make it less accurate to that specific portion. If would be historically inaccurate if the showed soldiers using AK-47s because that was factually not possible.
I'd love a war game that portrayed it as horrible as war really is. From all sides if possible. It wouldn't have to be explicit rape etc, but some notion that there are no heroes in war would be welcome.
I'm just tired of the fact that almost all war games, except Spec Ops: The Line and This war of mine, follow the same narrative where the nation you play as (predominantly US soldiers) are flawless heroes. No civilian casualties, no tough decisions, just plow down an endless swarm of bad guys and reach the next cutscene. No thought behind it just mindless killing.
@spicelicka - I'm pretty sure the WW2 weapons in COD will have no recoil, that's bad enough. I've shot both AK-47s and older guns like Mosin-Nagant and the way COD portrays them is ridiculous. Even the Colt 1911 packs a serious punch and isn't easy to handle. Adding proper recoil would add to the gameplay imo. COD aiming is point, click & headshot basically.
This actually looks pretty good imo. i like how there is no health regen. kinda going backwards in modern fps but it'll be refreshing to look for medkits/medics
It's great to see less gimmicks, but there wasn't any WOW factor in this trailer. Battlefield does a better job of this because they don't reskin their games and use new technology versus Activision still using the same engine for 20 years. I'm not disappointed by the trailer, but I'm not excited by it either.
dam, that looks exciting actually.
Here's hoping for the best
Another game not coming to Nintendo Switch.
Sorry I had to...
Call of Duty campaign trailers are always great to see.
Cod hasn't looked this promising in years, hopefully Activision doesn't screw this up.
Saving Private Activision.
