Should A Future Call of Duty Title Take Place In the Future?

It is speculated by “industry sources” the next Call of Duty game (which is being made by Sledgehammer Games, Raven Software and Infinity Ward) will take place in the future while in Space. This is a big step for a franchise which has based itself solely on realism. But what is realism in this sense? What can’t occur in real life based on physics, what can’t occur for now because the technology doesn’t exist, or whatever our minds can fathom?

It seems like COD will release every year for ever.. So they are bound to make a futuristic COD eventually because they will stretch this franchise well into the future. Sigh...

being that there are arguably only 2 'modern' cod games so far..I doubt that lake is dry in Activision's eyes...it took 4 full WWII cod's before they got the hint that people were getting tired of it (although world at war still sold like nuts)...and I didn't buy black ops; I don't know what timeline that really fits into (i thought it was Vietnam, but its all over the place, right?)...

a space cod could be cool if done right...I would hope for a more realistic killzone like universe, as apposed to halo...but i doubt its coming this year...I would guess towards the start of the next generation...played out or not, they still have plenty to do with the 'modern' theater...

Black Ops had levels from WW2, the Cold War, and Vietnam. It was sort of a highlight reel of the 40's through 70s. It was easily the best campaign of the bunch...exciting, varied, and chock full of awesome set pieces.

It's only a matter of time until COD: Future Warfare comes out. There are just too many possibilities once you step into what could be, rather than focusing on what is. Activision will want to take advantage of that.

It could be fun IF done right.

[Istanbull]

I hope they just cancel the series or start making 1 for every 2 years.

Its becoming boring, seriously

[KillerBBs]

Just as long as it works better than Black OPs online.

I don't buy a game based on the theme or story... does it work online or did you max the graphics so that even with the inner net connections getN better and better, it still doesn't play right online.

I would like to see how Call Of Duty game fares...if it didnt have guns.

Call Of Ug: Prehistoric Warfare, anyone?

[mightyboot]

I wouldnt mind if it includes a Laser minigun and aliens to shoot at instead of zombies and communists.

[SonyRep]

yes thats what i want make it different

[deltaforce82]

I hope a future for Call of Duty doesn't exist

[GOODKyle]

XD I died laughing when I read this

[SonyRep]

yes make it different

[Kon]

It would be a new addiction to the series.

[Der_Kommandant]

should take care in our forgotten memories

[Mafia2200]

Enough MW settings, move on Activision, its EA's turn in MW, and yours in FW

[Pillville]

It'd be called Halo.

[femshep]

if they do and cahnge game mechanics i MIGHT rent it
but i more sick of modern stuff then i was with WW2 time to change up

[Kon]

you're sick of modern stuff
you're sick of WW2 stuff

this leaves us with medieval era.

[femshep]

0-0 i never thought about that
and im not sick of ww2 any more i could play it again i wouldnt mind

[Zinc]

Why not have it set in the distant past where a race of immortal Antediluvians have subjugated a proto-human civilization? Why not make it interesting and throw in some Nazi zombies that get bitten by the Antediluvians and create zombie vampires that create time travel, go even further into the past to before the Antediluvians were immortal and blow them up with an atom bomb attached to a V-2 rocket, simply because they are time traveling Nazi zombie vampires.

That should sell 50 million this go-round.

if a future cod is modern then it is in the future. Ex: Modern Warfare 3 is right now future warfare if it is meant to be modern on release.

[Knightofelemia]

if you put COD in space you may as well call it Halo or another space shooter game. I'd say stay with the Modern Warfare theme

[Kiffy85]

Think it would be cool if they did something like Battle: LA i.e Modern Warfare army Vs Aliens would need to be balanced and finding a way of making it so people don't always play aliens or something

[SSKILLZ]

Lol yeah , laser beam strike on it's way. ..... Bbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,
