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.
Ubisoft announced on recent earnings calls that it has already recouped the cost of Activision/Blizzard streaming rights - which were only between €50M and €100M.
Activision has published a new patent that wants to create NPCs capable of reacting with AI-generated audio and animations in games.
Have people forgotten that the 'A' in 'AI' stands for ARTIFICIAL? As in not real, as in the opposite of realism? AI-Generated content is the opposite of realism.

Most likely, they steal other ideas on a regular whether it be game modes, character concept designs etc and now they're likely going to start utilizing ai to put less work in for maximum profit.
"Did Call of Duty Steal"
Is there anything Microsoft won't steal for a buck.....anything?
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.
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.
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.
