CoD WW2

I have to say, this does look sick. I do get jealous of studios who have these unlimited budgets and teams who can pull this kind of stuff off.

If the game play is right it might be the first CoD I'll pick up since MW2.

Yea but you better pull it off within 3 years

What I'm seeing right now I've seen and played a dozen times before, so I think I'll pass. But I am sure they will sell a lot of copies.

Yeah I bet the crunch at these studios and some other AAA studios (Rockstar, Naughty Dog etc) is unreal.

It's a realistic WW2 shooter. What's to get excited about? I'm surprised people aren't more critical. Aren't you guys bored of playing the same shit? Sure it's been a good few years since a AAA WW2 game, and we're now in a new generation of games, but you know EXACTLY how the game is going to play out. You know exactly how the guns are going to shoot. You know exactly which vehicles will be in this game. You know exactly the types of enemies you'll be shooting. I can guarantee one of your buddies is going to die in the singleplayer campaign and it's going to be super emotional with orchestral music playing in the background.

I think the sci-fi CoD games were more interesting than this. I didn't play them, but at least they tried something a bit different. Dunno, maybe I'm just looking at this through a cynical lens.

What other settings would you guys like to see in a CoD game, I wonder? Have they ever made one set in Vietnam? That could be interesting. Or perhaps some kind of alternate history.. Dunno. I guess the huge production costs and lengthy production time means the CoD series is always inevitably going to have to be lowest common denominator, and they couldn't really explore a smaller conflict/war.

Yeah this is absolutely not for me. Its another "experience" thats more roller coaster than game. I can respect the effort and artistic achievements but i would want something that leaves me with questions and wonder rather than this assault on the senses. Its schmaltzy 'Bayhem' to the max.

Looks amazing. To bad COD is so shit those days.

Yep. And give it two years and everyone will complain that WW2 is overused and MW was the best COD ever ?

You could argue that after a given number of years, everyone will end up having been exposed to most known stories and will be forced to see the same things retold over and over again. The creative director of Remedy Entertainment, Sam Lake, once said in an interview on interactive storytelling "some call them cliches, we prefer to call them classics". Just because you know certain story elements doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad story or that you won't enjoy it. Most times, it's enough just to change some small details or the story sequences/acts between them in order to create that "original" pinch.

I think CoD focuses too much on unbelievable moments, so much that it breaks immersion and even the player begins to question the story. It's like those moments when you become aware of the dream. You need to have a balance between logic and fantasy.

A lot of the people playing cod nowadays were too young to experience the last ww2 wave, so for them it will be a new experience

Realistic is a bit of a leap probably. But no jetpacks or anything, no (though zombies I guess heh).

When it comes to "playing the same shit" I gotta disagree with your point of view. Shooters are diverse as hell when you look at the nitty gritties and a lot of people, me among them, can enjoy a lot of different flavours of shooter. CS:GO, Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty 4 may all share the same contemporary setting and their arsenals overlap but they play quite differently and have a slightly different take on things. The difference between these games is probably bigger than the difference between entries within each respective franchise. Having said that, this is CoD and it's probably mostly the same once again. I want to see what they do with the multiplayer primarily because I share your belief that SP will be some melodramatic blockbuster.

Black Ops did actually include both Vietnam and alternate history in the same game if I remember correctly.

Well like @Puddy mentions they've put some Vietnam in Black Ops, but wasn't that exclusive experience. Personally I wouldn't be looking forward to something like that tho, probably cos all Vietnam games I've seen were disappointing. I found Men of Valor (by 2015, the original MoH guys) a bit on the offensive/racist just by watching the walkthrough demos…

Agree that the futuristic CODs at least have tried something, I'm not interested in the most recent but I've bought Advanced Warfare in the sales as that clicked right for me (plus Kevin Spacey).

In terms of left field ideas, I liked my friend's about Rome soldiers… but I'd be happier if this potential stays untapped for a proper Italian team to bring to life eventually.

Something like the American Civil War is very unexplored, afaik there have been no fps for that, other than maybe unfinished mods.

But at the end of the day I just wish they would take a couple years break to wear out the franchise fatigue.

don't care about any non-WW2 CoD tbh, but this game changed my fucking life

Say what you will, but this topic is 3 pages long and barely a day old. Love it or hate it, people are talking.

Best CoD I ever played (granted, I didn't play much of them since the early days).

This was my favorite part from the original. Oh yeah, it's loud af

I prefer CoD2 to the first, such a great feeling in the weapons (Einfield <3). What I didnt like of the first games was that bouncing between different fronts and reading generic mission details instead of having a story.

I think in comparison I did like MOH more than COD1

They better not ignore the Eastern Front

Zombies in CoD is my jam. Is CoD WW2 getting zombies? That would be siiick.
