Why Call of Duty should go back to World War II

A few years ago many gamers cried foul over the surplus of World War II shooters and so, Call of Duty pushed forward. Gamers at the time had a right to complain about the World War II setting, but it may be time to stroll back down memory lane. A few reasons this avenue should be revisited are killstreaks, deathstreaks, weapons, and a new opportunity to revamp the story presentation of Call of Duty.

I feel the killing nazi theme has been over used in video games.Its time we move on from that period and focus on other faught wars.

+1. I think there's room for a WWII game here and there but I enjoy more modern (and even futuristic) scenarios even more. The variety of technology (guns, vehicles, explosives, gadgets, etc) in modern scenarios adds a very cool level of depth that I like to see in my shooters. Plus WWII has been done to death... it's time for it to be in the back seat.

sure... next you'll be telling us why we should go back to using black and white TV sets.

The PS2 generation was plagued with WWII themed games on consoles and computers. It took us forever to get out of that trend. Why go back? Instead, ask for innovation.

Has seal team 6 ever been in a COD? Making a game about them would be cool.

Shackdaddy8364867d ago (Edited 4867d ago )

They were actually in the MW series I think...

The thing about WW2 games is that you are more confined by the era than modern games. You become more limited on weapons and themes unless you break out and go in a more fictional or alternate reality game. At that point is it a WW2 game or a game that just uses loose connections to WW2? Modern settings do not get old for me and you can expand upon the immediate past and immediate future.

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville38d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer39d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer38d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

More hyped for CoD 2026.
IW's at helm. Supposedly doing an engine evolution similar to MW'19. Evident by the current-gen only rumors.

Deathtracker43d ago

Me too. I'd also love to see the DMZ 2.0 rumors come true that year.

Goodguy0141d ago
