I would rather shit in my hands and clap than play it then.

Call of Duty: Degradation (2024)

 

[T4keD0wN]

Some things just shouldnt be open world. COD is one of them.

 

[FunkMiller]

I look forward to this next Playstation console exclusive.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Let’s keep it real half of America plays cod they’re trying to come up with anything to put up the fight against battlefield, i guarantee you open world cod will be a success especially after halo infinite did a great job with it and yes gulf war rumors have been out there for a while.

 

[The ninja farmer]

Barely touched this years cod. Completed the campaign, some multi and a little zombies.

Played more DMZ in mw2 to be honest.

Just not feeling it and not sure if more open world is the answer. (Unless you can squad up with friends to complete). I miss the crazy bombastic Michael bay campaigns of the 3 modern warfare games the first time around)

Might skip for a bit and see how things go (too expensive to pay for dlc at full price for me again. The modern warfare games are just not the same as they were (DMZ aside)

 

[lh032]

climbing towers to unlock map areas!!?

 

[AJUMP23]

Do you play COD for the single player?

 

[Dazraell]

Interesting, I wonder how open world will translate to this series format. The article also confirms Raven Software is the lead dev behind this, which I think is great news. Loved their take at Cold War campaign

 

[BigLee74]

I enjoyed this years COD campaign. It had a good mix of open levels and typical corridor levels. Keep that format, then I’m fine with the 6 hours I spend in it every few years.

 

[LordCBH]

I enjoyed this years COD campaign.

This belongs on the brandnewsentence subreddit.

 

[nikeboy94]

I want to throw up (on Activision).

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

It's like every single thing MS and Activision could say wrong over the last 3 or 4 days...they are saying them.

It's hilarious to witness as someone that doesn't care about both brands honestly.

 

[Bernoulli]

Day one if the gameplay and theme is like black ops

 

[Cyborg]

In two years the MP will also go Open World

 

[King Dazzar]

Lets see how it turns out. I'm up for them changing the single player and giving it a little depth.

 

[Doom85]

Christopher Judge: Your COD campaign was so short!
COD: Gotcha, we’ll go open world!
Christopher Judge:

Some things just shouldnt be open world. COD is one of them.

 

[Salz01]

If that’s true, I’ll pass yet again on this years cod release.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Intrigued. But in reality they probably just realized it’s cheaper and more time efficient to reuse DMZ assets and churn these out.

 

[Del_X]

It might be fun, idk. If they can get some "emergent" gameplay and enemy AI to work I'd take CoD towers of Ubisoft towers. Basically Far Cry 3 on speed.

 

[Gambit2483]

This.

They asked the question "How can we make COD games quicker and cheaper?"

Just copy and paste multiplayer map assets into single player maps and call it a day. They are doubling down on the WORST part about the last COD game.

you may be the only person I've ever seen admit that!

I hated it, the open world mission were just a cheap Warzone lite, they fucking sucked and ruined the pacing of the game completly

I do like CoD campaigns for the most part, they're blockbuster like titles to me, a good run through but not something that I'd replay (aside from CoD4, and MW2 those were amazing)

 

[Bry0]

That’s massively disappointing and I can only assume it’s done as a cost/time measure, I’m sure it will use warzone assets.

Ugh

 

[ComputerBlue]

So the feedback they got from the community about absolutely hating the open combat missions using the Warzone map in MW3 meant absolutely fuck all to them.

"The concerns are valid, but they are not being considered."

This.

I didn’t play the MW3 campaign, does it also have vehicles and fast travel? Maybe there is a legit open world game here.

 

[Fake]

This will destroy performance target that CoD games are used to get right...

Good luck.

 

[Games of Today]

If they put another scam campaign on the warzone map for a second time, I will fucking die laughing. This is such shit.

That leaked footage of the cancelled space game makes this shit look like a fat joke.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Open world is superior to linear so this was the right call.

They must have seen some worrying data to make the shift though.

 

[Represent.]

man.. honestly.. FUCK microsoft. they ruin everything they touch.

The one fucking FPS campaign i liked yearly because of how linear and to the point it was. It was so refreshing every year.

now you're going to embrace literally the WORST part of MW3?

get fucked

 

[StueyDuck]

Just make it co-op.

 

[BigLee74]

There are a few of us! (insert dozens gif). I enjoyed the change of pace between the open and corridor levels, and in particular I loved the villa and dam open levels. They’ve obviously worked on the tech, and have got the bots playing well in them. I’m down for more.

(Edit to be clear - I want a mix, not just open map levels)

 

[Kerotan]

So they'll basically have you driving around whatever the new warzone map will be with a few cutscenes thrown in. Ass.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Call of Duty Infinite?

They are going to speedrun destroying this franchise huh

 

[Zannegan]

I mean, I enjoyed Crysis and thought Crysis 2 could have stood to be more open. And I haven't really loved a CoD campaign since the original Modern Warfare, so it could be a breath of fresh air, especially if it's co-op...

...but not EVERY series needs to be open world.

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

Ehhhh..... MS has NOTHING to do with development... Just so you know. Should I blame my neighbor for the bad weather too?

 

[March Climber]

It’s been 20 years of linear. We might as well see what one open world campaign can do for CoD.
