Title: Call of Duty: WWII

Eurogamer has since verified this does indeed relate to this year's game.

After declining sales of the series came to a head last year with the widely-disliked Infinite Warfare, Activision suits recently reassured investors that COD would head "back to its roots".

Sledgehammer Games co-founder Michael Condrey has also previously expressed interest in making a World War 2-set game - three years ago, in late 2014. Call of Duty games are on a three-year development cycle, shared between Activision's three COD studios (Sledgehammer, Infinity Ward and Treyarch).

"A next generation game with the latest production values and robustness in a World War 2 setting like Band of Brothers would be amazing," Condrey said.

Neon camouflage painted weapons, pot leaf dog tags and crotch chop taunts acquired from loot supply drops in the multiplayer. :lawd

Post by: benjipwns on March 28, 2017, 04:06:30 PM: that said, the setting alone is really going to take a sledgehammer* to the weapon and scorestreak unlocks, i can't imagine them fitting in 15 different SMG unlocks this time especially if the game goes back to being U.S.-Germany-centric which would drop out all the Commonwealth and Soviet weapons they used to pad things out back in the day

edit: actually the scorestreak and perk situation would be the one thing i'd most look forward to about multiplayer, they've never really had a chance to go back to 1940s technology and deal with everything those have done to the series, WaW (understandably given the dev cycle) basically just renamed/reskinned MW's which were incredibly simplistic to what we've been running around with the last decade since, even the first Blops only started to scratch the surface of that and was still cold war era tech which is a leap

*:teehee

Post by: fistfulofmetal on March 28, 2017, 04:17:12 PM: Literally calling it COD:WWII is so fucking dumb. It's such an assumption that people are too stupid to catch on that this isn't a modern or space shooter that they have to just slap the most generic title card on it.

Post by: Let's Cyber on March 28, 2017, 06:22:06 PM: I have enough warm and fuzzy nostalgia for the first Call of Duty that I might be interested in this when it drops to $20 at some point in 2018.

Post by: Rufus on March 28, 2017, 08:52:23 PM: Right now? There actually aren't any that I can think of besides Heroes & Generals (F2P Battlefield-like) and Day of Defeat (ancient Half-Life, then Source mod). I guess World of Tanks counts as a WW2 shooter, but it's not an FPS.

Post by: Stoney Mason on March 28, 2017, 09:47:03 PM: Sledgehammer makes a decent campaign so it will probably be fine in that regard but the multiplayer will be the same declining returns its been for years.

And that's where I check out. The multiplayer won't reign itself in at all and will just disappoint me if I buy it. So I won't.

Day of Infamy from the Insurgency guys just came out last week. And the Sniper Elite games are all set during WWII. Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2 recently got a new approved mod (ala Mare Nostrum) for it.

But, yeah, in no way like it once was with seemingly EA and Activision and Ubisoft all putting out a new one every year. Along with all the smaller titles.

And Day of Defeat and Day of Defeat: Source aren't mods and haven't been for a long time, they're standalone superior to Counter-Strike games that don't require Half-Life. :ufup

I should have thought of both Sniper Elite and Red Orchestra, but Day of Infamy completely eluded me. Huh.

Alright, alright. It was kind of pointless of me to bring them up since they're relics. Though I'm sure you can still find well populated servers for DoD: Source.

Quote from: top steam review for DoD:S
Don't bother buying this game in 2017. It's been dead for years. What remains are about 8 servers with "videogame is srs bsns" roleplay nerds

So nothings changed in ten years.

Post by: Rahxephon91 on March 29, 2017, 02:57:33 AM: I liked the future and modern settings because it allows them limitless imagination to create settings, set-species, and wars.

A WW2 setting is'nt going to allow for Remember the Burger Town, Running through Space Lazered San Francisco, Sabotaging giant capitol ship boosters, fighting through future Dubai, and what not. WWII may not be a tired setting right now, but it's something we've still seen a lot of.
