I am interested in a good old fashioned mainstream WW2 shooter again. Sheldghammer are kind of the A team right now for COD, while I would have been OK with a AW sequel, if you need to reinvent COD a little and go back to basics they are now the team to do it. A shame Treyarch and Infinity Ward poisoned the future COD well so fast.

Vietnam has also been done plenty. But one of the bloodiest wars in Asia, the Korean war, somehow get's little attention.

did you play AW? the folks at Sledgehammer are really good. Most of them are the devs who made Deadspace 1 and i think they had amazing sound design in that game.
Okay, you have my interest.
The Korean War to me represents a massive opportunity for something unique in a shooter franchise. It takes place right when really impressive changes in technology were just making their first appearances (jet aircraft, assault rifles, etc.) whilst still retaining a lot of WWII technology and ascetics. Not to mention there's a lot of REALLY kick-ass battles that took place in the Korean War (Battle of Inchon, Chosin Resevoir Breakout, etc.)
Yeah, I'm kinda surprised we haven't hit this already.

I wouldn't go as far to say overrated but they royally fucked up the universe of BO and BO2 by tying it to the mess that was BO3. Something tells me that there was a major shakeup with the extra year they were given.

Treyarch make the worst COD games and I seriously disliked bo3 more than I disliked ghosts. The two worst COD games for me are bo2 and bo3.

I think you'd be into the last Brothers in Arms game. That one was all about just how bullshit Operation Market Garden was.

Technically the Korean War isn't over. So I don't think any developer would like to burn their hands on an active war.

I feel like this was said when CoD4 released, except regarding going away from WW2.

Oddly enough Black ops 2 is my favorite haha. BO3 is straight garbage though.
on the subject of Vietnam war, this game was great. Remember having problem running this on my computer back then.
I liked that game a lot. Very fun.
But man I hope they don't screw this up by having stuff like "what if's" and "experimental" shit in it. Please don't ruin it.

He's waiting on someone else to leak, then he'll confirm what they're confirming.

That's not even Brothers in Arms cover. Probably thousands of shots of a soldier like that have been used through the decades of media.
Still waiting for Furious 4, Randy...
Release a new Brothers in Arms and then complain, Randy.

It's been so damn long since we had any AAA WWII game. Said this before, but we've had none this gen and we have more modern games than WWII so this is very overdue.
There's kids that game now and got a PS4 or XB1 as their first system in the past four years and they have no WWII game experience.

I wouldn't mind a Vietnam game, especially since its been rarely covered on a video game front.

Hmm, I didn't know bo2 was popular. Around my circles, bo2 was pretty much universally referred to as boring ops. The only campaigns I couldn't even be bothered to finish are bo2 and bo3.

I agree, best visuals out of the 3 studios for sure. Also very good sp. Mp on the other hand was not to my liking as a lot of other people.
I think BO2 was probably the most boring entry as well something about it feels empty as hell. But I think im in the minority
the first mainline done by Treyarch, and introduced Sprint to the series
and was on both 360 and OXbox, so many kids got the OXbox version that year for their 360..

I really hope they get off the habit of making the campaign some bro shooter with cool slogans and all that. I assume it will try hard to be more serious, though its still utlimately a Shooter thats meant to be fun. Im not looking for a work of art, just something that explores something less "unstoppable hero" and more "get me the f out of this map"
WaW had an amazing campaign
I have hopes for Mp simply because I didnt think COD would ever go back to a slow game with more inticrate and grounded gameplay. Speaking of 3 lane maps and perks that gove you sensing abilities and options to zoom past opponents... those are what I hate.
I sincerely hope thats whats different. People shit on the older games for camping but the current solution is to send everyone lightning fast and bouncing everywhere and I think its far too worse
I loved BO1 and Cod4 and WaW. Yes people camp, but theyve never been super successful in the end and I enjoyed going slower in some maps to check corners and throw stuns out.
BO1 and COD4 map design were my favourites and I really hope we see less maps like BO3

Was NINE games not enough?
no need to fight over studios.
Treyarch made bad to mediocre CoD games until Black Ops 1.
Black Ops 2 was good but not good as first game.third game sucked balls in some areas.
treyarch was laughing stock during infinity ward gold days like people would say lol treyarch year fuck this shit skipping year etc..
Cause infinity war stuff was factually much more better and designed , all treyarch did all those years just copying what IW did and trying to refine it with their unique modes like zombies but all gameplay elements came from IW team.
then IW got fucked. Treyarch made a good game.
though i didnt played newest Infinite warfare , until that so called new infinity ward sucks nowadays. MW3 was a turd,so did ghosts almost killed franchise buzz/hype.
Infinite warfare looked garbage to me but people said its okay so maybe trailers were confusing idk

All I know is that Ghosts confounds me to this day thanks to that poor excuse of a cliffhanger ending.

He just mad they beat him to the punch in making another WW2 game.
I never expect Randy to make another BiA game, as much as I want it.
You already have that.
I'm still mildly upset that more FPS games haven't borrowed BiA's squad system. I want to see it iterated upon!

6 v 6 and 8 v 8 Cod at it's best, anything over that and it becomes a clutsterfuck.
I never got peoples obsession with higher player modes.
