I want to be excited but I really can't, to me this is just another Yooka laylee situation where they are trying to recreate the past but won't have the same feel or character to it.

Like what can Sledgehammer add to a WWII call of duty that none of the other earlier games did? At best they can mimic the look of the older ones with the gameplay present in today's CODs from my perspective.

 

[RedAssedApe]

granted they are tiny...those screenshots are underwhelming

It looks a lot like the aesthetic of COD3 tbh, very gruff looking

 

[CryptiK]

Remember. DONT BUY ON PC. You will just set yourself up for disappointment yet again.

 

[MadJackChurchill]

Good timing. Need to teach the 'alt-right' what happened to the Nazis last time.

 

[Hestisdabest]

PLEASE PLEASE don't ruin the MP with shitty Kill streaks...Just do 3,5,7 kill streaks like the GOATS COD4 and WaW had.

 

[Feel_The_Pain]

What era is this game supposed to be in?

Before quickscopers.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I like the pics but then again I don't care too much about visuals. Not expecting much there. Just diggin the setting.

exactly. This should be a back to roots game in almost all ways. All the QoL improvements should remain and maps should be a bit bigger but overall the guns should be simple, maps well structured, killstreaks simple, etc...

This has potential. Also I personally don't want to see too much colourful sit on weapons. feel it doesn't fit the setting.

 

[BigEmil]

You and I both know this won't happen, sadly.

IW didn't have any pay to win crap you can earn weapons for free still

dont bet too much on that. I guess activision will eventually find a way to shoehorn that stuff into the game.

I don't want that shit either


No loot boxes of any kind

Unless you only do single player campaign, which can look gorgeous on PC.

 

[Demoskinos]

The real twist is that its actually in the future and you're just a solider they put into virtual reality reliving battles in WW2.

 

[Derp2Herp]

Big maps and a 100 percent team driven spawn system and i'm in.

 

[Charcoal]

OMG those screens.

I'm harder than a diamond in an ice storm right meow

 

[PepperedHam]

I'm 100% in. I'm an easy man to please and I've been dying too long for a big budget revisit to World War 2.

 

[Calm Mind]

We all know this won't be the final box art.

You have too much faith in Activision's art department.

 

[Yu Furealdo]

PLEASE PLEASE don't ruin the MP with shitty Kill streaks...Just do 3,5,7 kill streaks like the GOATS COD4 and WaW had.

If they do the 3, 5, 7 system again, I would be so happy.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Is there any chance this is coming to the Switch?

 

[theaface]

The real twist is that its actually in the future and you're just a solider they put into virtual reality reliving battles in WW2.

Creed of Duty? *shudder*

 

[Skux]

I really don't know how they're going to make this feel new when we've seen this era done to death.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Even with all the games that have been about the setting, there are still millions of 10-14 year olds that maybe never had a console until this generation, nor a WWII shooter. So there is not only people that are glad to go back, but kids that just never played these and keep hearing about WWII as that huge historical epic.

 

[Archpath1]

You will get your natzi loot chests, and you will like it.

I hope it does not, and I hope they keep the customization on the realistic side and don't muck it up.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I really don't know how they're going to make this feel new when we've seen this era done to death.

future warfare has been done even more. When's the last time we had a true next gen WW2 game of this kind. Been a while...

 

[Creaking]

A lot of you guys are going to be disappointed. Loot boxes bring them more revenue than anything else, and something has to go into those loot boxes.

 

[PepperedHam]

I really don't know how they're going to make this feel new when we've seen this era done to death.

Why does it have to be revolutionary and new? Make a solid WW2 shooter on today's hardware, that's all they have to do. Call of Duty is not a franchise about being revolutionary anymore.

 

[Anung]

A lot of you guys are going to be disappointed. Loot boxes bring them more revenue than anything else, and something has to go into those loot boxes.

Yep. I've given up on the MP entirely now so this'll just be a SP campaign for me. But loot crates and the like are never going away.

 

[BigEmil]

I don't want that shit either


No loot boxes of any kind

Welp. Well that's staying forever now on lol it's going nowhere

 

[chrisPjelly]

Screenshots are eh. The palette resembles classis cod moreso than the gritty feel of WaW and Cod3, but I'll reserve further judgement when footage comes out.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I don't want that shit either

I rather have loot boxes than split the community with paid maps.

 

[Alienous]

The real twist is that its actually in the future and you're just a solider they put into virtual reality reliving battles in WW2.

I wouldn't be surprised at that.

I also struggle to see how they'll manage multiplayer, and all of the lootbox shenanigans, without a conceit like that. 'This is a WWII VR simulation, so don't mind the neon pink gun camo'.

 

[BigEmil]

I rather have loot boxes than split the community with paid maps.

But.. cod still has paid maps aswell

 

[Toa TAK]

You're getting that bro

[AHA-Lambda]

why wouldn't it be?

 

[Creaking]

Alas, you'll get both. Even MWR got paid maps and loot boxes, and that's a game that still remains exclusive to a special edition of another game. That's not a split, that's a community diced up.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Remember. DONT BUY ON PC. You will just set yourself up for disappointment yet again.

But I don't have anything else to buy it on.

Or do I? Perhaps the platforms they release COD on this year will be SWITCHed up.

Please.

 

[Toni]

Seems like they've been after the Overwatch and Destiny crowd for some time but now taking it up a notch with Events and more Xp weekends to boost activity.

 

[Falchion]

The real twist is that its actually in the future and you're just a solider they put into virtual reality reliving battles in WW2.

Oh my god this is going to totally happen.

 

[Toa TAK]

Hey at least we'll be getting more maps.

Instead of ONE a month as opposed to 16 a season and 4 for the bonus mode.

 

[BigEmil]

Who here even buys microtransactions in cod if you do shame on you

 

[Creaking]

I've seen this thrown around before. The general response from those people is "screw you I've got mine."

 

[Forsaken82]

This is the problem with the setting. You can't exactly make it stand out from other WW2 titles, within the same franchise or not.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

But I don't have anything else to buy it on.

Or do I? Perhaps the platforms they release COD on this year will be SWITCHed up.

Please.

Almost certainly no chance of this. I'll be beyond amazed if this appears on Switch.

 

[breadtruck]

Remember. DONT BUY ON PC. You will just set yourself up for disappointment yet again.

Well, Id go one further and say don't buy it at all.
You'll be disappointed on console too...


I learned my lesson on CoD. No more for me.

 

[Alienous]

Hey at least we'll be getting more maps.

I tend to agree. And with Call of Duty you don't really need to worry about not finding games because of DLC splitting the community.

In my experience games that have free map DLC do so more to reinvigorate interest than to add content. It tends not to be much more than a nice gesture, as opposed to hefty map packs.

 

[El_Chino]

You have too much faith in Activision's art department.

Not saying it's going to be better, but it will be different.

That's just how it goes with CoD and most titles.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

But.. cod still has paid maps aswell

You're getting that bro

QUOTE ME

Oh of course, no doubt about it, it's Activision basically the devil of this industry.

That's why i don't understand the complaining about the Overwatch lootboxes when you could have it so much worse...

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Almost certainly no chance of this. I'll be beyond amazed if this appears on Switch.

So you're telling me there's a chance?

YEEAAAAHHH!

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Not saying it's going to be better, but it will be different.

That's just how it goes with CoD and most titles.

Why are you sure it'll be different at all?

Hasn't pretty much every CoD box art (for a long time now at least) been the same as from when they're announced? I see no reason at all why this art will change

 

[Toa TAK]

Why are you sure it'll be different at all?

Aren't most CoD box arts the same as from when they're announced? I see no reason at all why this art will change

No

It was just proven in this thread
