Well you have 2 things to consider.
1. Do you mind waiting a month extra to play the DLC (assuming you get it)
2. What systems your friends play on.
Though is your PS4 a Pro? Cause if so it should look really good, but if not then the Scorpio should look very good.

Works fine for Counter Strike Go and Rainbow Six Seige(one character can heal on defense, a limited amount of times). Like I said, I'm not advocating this for every mode. Just Search and Destroy. Those games are also quick paced, the objectives dictate that, it wouldn't slow that mode down at all.

I'd have no problem going back to health pickups like in CoD1 and United Offensive

Or perhaps they can introduce some type of medic class or something in MP like in BF

No regenerating health, NICE.
It will be great to play a WWII game with today's technology, but what makes me so eager to play this is the campaign. It seems promising, since now you'll be experiencing different points of view (instead of JUST the american soldiers story).
Is there any WWII game that takes place during the first years of the war? Like, with germany invading poland or the french fighting the germans?

It really boggles my mind that some people actually think Sledgehammer didn't start working on this until BF1 was revealed. They seriously underestimate how long it takes to develop a AAA game...

No joke!
It's had over 3 years of dev time, I don't know why people seem to think otherwise.

It's a complicated topic. While clearly this didn't start development after Bf1s reveal, it did likely start development after BF1s development start. Bf1, most likely, entered development roughly a year before WW2. Bf1 sometime in Summer 2014, after development of Bf4 was passed to Dice LA, and WW2 in Late 2014/Early 2015. That doesn't mean for a fact that Activision aped, but it is a possibility. I imagine that both of these publishers have a strong idea of what goes on in the other. That said, it doesn't take a genus to see market trends, or the over saturation of a theme

You have to admit that not everyone will know how long this has been in development, so naturally people are going to resort to that assumption that they developed this based off of BF1's success.
Plus people are constantly comparing Battlefield to Call of Duty anyway, so it's just inevitable regardless of which time period it's set in.

They also did by far the most of killing the Nazi soldiers, altough western bombing probably killed more German civilians. At the time of D-Day the war was already decided, everybody knew that the Red Army was going to win. Stalingrad and Kursk had already happened and operation Bagration was just about to start. And even after Normandy the Eastern Front remained by far the bigger. There is really no argument.
It is funny to see how the propaganda works though. In 1945 clear majority of the French thought that the Soviet Union had done the most to beat the Nazis, but by 2004 the opinion had flipped completely and majority thought the USA had done the most.

The product landing page on BestBuy shows this game as eligible for the preorder and get a $10 credit offer alongside Destiny 2 and Star Wars Battlefront II. It's not up on the actual offer page yet though.

No, part of the campaign. I remember it was a last stand-style mission.

I don't know what to make of this: [spoiler for the Omaha Beach mission]
Full article here:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/ventur...inching-and-respectful-combat-experience/amp/
The Call of Duty veterans among us have seen this seen before, in Steven Spielbergs Saving Private Ryan in 1998, and Electronic Arts video game Medal of Honor in 1999. But what happens next is slightly different. Daniels commander tells him, You can do this. This is what you trained for.
He orders Daniels to pick up a Bangalore torpedo, like in scenes from The Longest Day and Saving Private Ryan. You have to pick it up and run up the beach, without a weapon. You put it under the barbed wire, pull the charge, and blow a hole in the line so the rest of the soldiers can charge through. Whats different about this particular scene is that the pressure is on Daniels to make sure that he doesnt let his squad down. Whatever you think about this particular sequence, and whether youve seen it before, theres no doubt that the scene has been tweaked to fit the theme.
The scene shifts forward into the German bunkers above the beach, where the bullets ricochet off the walls and send echoes. The fighting is at close range, and it is brutal. One of your comrades gets hit, and you move to help. But a German soldier charges you and you both fall to the ground. You have to move quickly to grab and helmet and beat your foe to death with it. Its a brutal but not gratuitous scene that shows how the development team isnt pulling back from showing you something horrific up-close.

Meh, that trailer did nothing for me.
The allure of Call of Duty eroded a long time ago. I prefer stuff like Wolfenstein: The New Order now.

GameStop dude looked at me and asked if I want my codww2 flat bill hat. I stared back at him.
Whether or not Call of Duty went to the World Wars due to Battlefield or not (highly improbable), it is true that new gameplay features in CoD WW2 are heavily inspired by Battlefield (Squad gameplay, larger game modes, Operations) and new Battlefield gameplay features are heavily inspired by Call of Duty (it's super fast paced multiplayer, smaller game modes, and campaigns that are nothing like BF but play almost identically to CoD).
It was entitled Return To Hurtgen Forest
It was mainly running house to house but I think the penultimate level "Battle for Hill 400" was also in the same forest.
.
Fucking hype. Sounds like they've used their 3 years well.
Wasn't their Nazi Zombie pic the most retweeted tweet from the event as well?
CODZombie community is just as hungry for more as the zombies we slaughter.
I think what people will need to understand is that Zombies is part of Call of Duty.
There's a very sizable community dedicated to this mode.
So I think if Sledgehammer brings a new version of it that still will keep current fans, happy that's good. Before they simply copied Treyarch and it came out medicore. Infinity Ward basically did the same though with far better success (honestly creating the most approachable maps in a long time), but if we can start getting a wildly different Zombie mode each year, than that's good.
Cause while some may deny this, if they dropped zombies, there would be sales lost.

You'd think they'd be nervous. The original Dead Space may have been scarier, but it wasn't nearly as replayable as the zombies modes have been, which is why it's enjoyed so much. Like turning Left 4 Dead into Resident Evil 7, both great, but they're catering to different crowds.
I'm thinking it'll still be wave-based, but the tone and atmosphere going back to being far more tense like in WAW a la Verruckt, and far more terrifying considering Dead Space.

By quite a bit
Further proof that Zombies is too important to CoD now.
Also while I know that in Infinite Warfare we're most likely getting the Type-100 in reference of CoDWWII, but Sledgehammer should also give out all of the WWII guns in Advanced Warfare in honor of the new titles announcement.
That would be cool.

Completely forgot that the two lead guys were behind Dead Space. Interested to see how they do a Zombies storyline. I'm hoping it's gonna be a bit less silly than the Treyarch storyline, actually do something genuinely horrific and violent.

All media reported on the main trailer at the same time so retweets etc been spread out but the Nazi Zombies tweet by Sledgehammer Twitter was the first of it and only some media much later reported on that too all attention was there and it was a first look on their Twitter page so makes sense more attention there.By quite a bit

I'm wondering if they'll have more casual focused modes this time around? Something like Halo 5's warzone or Battlefield 1's...everything.
I feel like people are tired of the same competitive deathmatch modes that Call of Duty is known for.

Well if CoD WWII MP doesn't bring back that feeling of CoD, CoD:UO and CoD 2 multiplayer there is always Battalion 1944.
I'm most excited about the SP campaign, the Co-Op campaign.
MP would be next and Zombies last. Never got into the whole Zombies mode (mainly because I stopped caring about CoD after the first MW game).

I really, really hope that the Omaha Beach level is long and detailed. The perfect ideal level design/flow for me would literally be like Saving Private Ryan - Higgins boat landing, arduous run up the beach, get Bangalores, blow up the barbed wire, cross over and run into the trenches, then up into the bunkers to take out the MG42 machine gun nests, then go out back out into the trenches and on the surface to take out any stragglers, round them up and then call it a day.
Is there any indication that this level will play as such?

I really hope they limit the skins in the multiplayer (for players and weapons). Really outlandish or tacky looking skins will look extremely out of place and cheapen the experience. I know Activision loves their supply drops so I wouldn't be at all surprised if that did happen, unfortunately...

I'm hoping for this too. Don't wanna see goofy-ass skins in a serious WW2 game.
They could make toggle to disable skins for other players.
