Call Of Duty WW2 reveal 26 april, website up [UPDATE: Leaked screenshots]

Ugh, more Yankee centric storylines again. Somebody should inform them at Sledge that there's a reason it's called the second WORLD war.

Yes, because modern/futuristic shooter #77473726748842 wasn't enough, we need more.

Literally every single COD set in WW2 (including the ones IW have made) has featured at least one campaign that isn't focused on the Americans.
 
Am I the only one hoping that they actually would put work into the story/characters and not make the player the savior of the entire war or focus on over the top things so much?

When it comes to war stories are far more interesting when it actually feels like something that took place and the characters are grounded, rather then thrusting you into the role of Superman or throwing a bunch of unrealistic things at you left and right.

Do we already know something about how they'll be treating DLC maps?

The leaked PS4 cover art has a 'play map packs 30 days early' tag.

So assuming that's accurate, if Sledgehammer and Activision are releasing map packs free, not individual maps, that would be surprising. I can't think of another 'free map DLC' game that does that, so it seems unlikely the packs will be free.

Yeah, probably more of the same with season passes. I guess since a ton of people only buy this and a few other games, they don't have as much of a problem dropping an additional $50 on the season pass since it'll be one of the few games they play all year.
 
Looks like we may be revisiting the 1st Infantry Division (AKA The Big Red One), based on the "1" patch in one of the screenshots.

I can't remember how much of it was covered in the PS2/Xbox game, but those guys saw a lot of shit

The division, now under the command of Major General Terry Allen, a distinguished World War I veteran, departed the New York Port of Embarkation on 1 August 1942, arrived in Beaminster in south-west England about a week later, and departed 22 October 1942 for the combat amphibious assault of North Africa.

As part of II Corps, the division landed in Oran, Algeria on 8 November 1942 as part of Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North Africa.[13] Elements of the division then took part in combat at Maktar, Tebourba, Medjez el Bab, the Battle of Kasserine Pass (where American forces were pushed back), and Gafsa. It then led the Allied assault in brutal fighting at El Guettar, Béja, and Mateur. The 1st Infantry Division was in combat in the Tunisian Campaign from 21 January 1943 to 9 May 1943, helping secure Tunisia. The campaign ended just days later, with the surrender of almost 250,000 Axis soldiers. After months of nearly continuous fighting, the division had a short rest before training for the next operation.

In July 1943, the division took part in the Allied invasion of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky, still under the command of Major General Allen. Lieutenant General George S. Patton, commanding the U.S. Seventh Army, specifically requested the division as part of his forces for the invasion of Sicily. It was still assigned to the II Corps. In Sicily the 1st Division saw heavy action when making amphibious landings opposed by Italian and German tanks at the Battle of Gela. The 1st Division then moved up through the center of Sicily, slogging it out through the mountains along with the 45th Infantry Division. In these mountains, the division saw some of the heaviest fighting in the entire Sicilian campaign at the Battle of Troina; some units losing more than half their strength in assaulting the mountain town. On 7 August 1943, Major General Allen was relieved of his command by Lieutenant General Omar Bradley, then commanding the II Corps. Allen was replaced by Major General Clarence R. Huebner who was, like Allen, a decorated veteran of World War I who had served with the 1st Infantry Division throughout the war.

When that campaign was over, the division returned to England, arriving there on 5 November 1943[12]:622 to prepare for the eventual invasion of Normandy.[4] The 1st Infantry Division and one regimental combat team from the 29th Infantry Division comprised the first wave of troops that assaulted German Army defenses on Omaha Beach on D-Day.[4][14] The division had to run 300 yards to get to the bluffs, with some of the division's units suffering 30 percent casualties in the first hour of the assault,[15] and secured Formigny and Caumont in the beachhead by the end of the day. The division followed up the Saint-Lô break-through with an attack on Marigny, 27 July 1944.

The division then drove across France in a continuous offensive, reaching the German border at Aachen in September. The division laid siege to Aachen, taking the city after a direct assault on 21 October 1944.[4] The 1st Division then attacked east of Aachen through the Hurtgen Forest, driving to the Rur, and was moved to a rear area 7 December 1944 for refitting and rest following 6 months of combat. When the German Wacht Am Rhein offensive (commonly called the Battle of the Bulge) was launched on 16 December 1944,[4] the division was quickly moved to the Ardennes front. Fighting continuously from 17 December 1944 to 28 January 1945, the division helped to blunt and reverse the German offensive. Thereupon, the division, now commanded by Major General Clift Andrus, attacked and again breached the Siegfried Line, fought across the Rur, 23 February 1945, and drove on to the Rhine, crossing at the Remagen bridgehead, 15–16 March. The division broke out of the bridgehead, took part in the encirclement of the Ruhr Pocket, captured Paderborn, pushed through the Harz Mountains, and was in Czechoslovakia, fighting at Kynšperk nad Ohří, Sangerberg, and Mnichov when the war in Europe ended. Sixteen members of the division were awarded the Medal of Honor during World War II.

World at War is really good along with zombies.

But its hard to go back to COD when we have Battlefield1 now.

Anyone else felt the same as me?

I always feel an impulse more into Call of Duty, but every time I do, it feels so simple and shallow; as if there's nothing there. A shooting gallery.

And Sledge's last game has an American, British and Russian main character mirroring the original games.
 
Woo excited!

Maybe we'll see some perspectives from the Axis side? Or maybe the French? Maybe even from territories not involved but dragged into the war?

We'll see.
Don't screw this up!

Medal of Honor going back to its roots would be nice. Frontline had an amazing campaign, it's a shame they've not really captured that feel since.

Seems like they killed the series after their attempt to bring MoH to the modern day =/

Nah, they killed Medal of Honor with their attempts to make it into a Call of Duty-like Hollywood blockbuster game.

MoH 2010 was a great translation of the spirit of the series to the modern era.

They did good

Seriously, I know a lot of people here weren't a fan, but I thought it was a very good campaign only sullied by its weak. ass. ending. Especially after G H O S T S it was much needed that they delivered something solid.

It's only sad we can't bring back Joel Goldsmith to do this game's score. RIP

Allied Assault 2! But I'm sure they'd screw it up.

Main question: Did they finally make a new engine for this?

Probably not.
Click to expand...

They really don't need to, the Call of Duty games are very technically competent.

And besides the upgrade to the tech behind Advanced Warfare could probably constitute a new game engine if defined the same way as Frostbite's upgrades.
 
What is old is new again.

Wondering how people are going to react going from all the new movement stuff in the past few games to going back to just running and jumping and stuff.

Yeah. BF1 is my war simulator, put over 130hrs into it on PC, having tons of fun, but I've only stuck to conquest mode. :)

There's a healthy user base on PC, but I'm certain COD:WW2 won't be as active ( on PC).


I'm happy that they're not doing that future crap anymore.
