============================

Just gonna go out and say it..i dont think they have the balls to do truly go back to CODs roots. Unless they wanna pretend the series started with MW

Like world war 2 roots?

WW2 pls? Hell, I'll even take Korea or Vietnam. Hopefully they don't mean more modern warfare....though I can totally see them doing that...

I've already heard rumors that Sledgehammers COD is gonna be boots on the ground set in Vietnam and going for hyper realism. I'm good with that.

Now I cross my fingers we get a World at War remake!!

I bet it will Modern Warfare 4

I bet their idea of going back to their roots is like MW2.

You're going to remove £400 of microtransactions?

Activision looks at BF1: "We're going back to our roots!"

a PC exclusive with non-regenerating health and no MP unlocks?

yea I think you're right lol

I'm pretty sure Sledgehammer's original project for Activision was a 3rd person action adventure CoD set in the Vietnam war before it was scrapped in favor of Advanced Warfare. Maybe they're going back and pulling some ideas from it?

Call of Duty will become a yearly ryhthm game?

CoD and Destiny can go the way of the dinosaur for all I care.

Yeah I hope they go back to WW2 and make a good campaign and multi. I might even buy it.

Hopefully this means that they will return to a WW2 setting this year. They are stupid if they don't. People are sick and tired of the futuristic setting that has been overdone in recent years and a return to WW2 would now feel like a breath of fresh air.

I predict that if they return to WW2 this year, it will be the best selling Call of Duty game in many years. On the other hand, if they are stupid enough to release another futuristic shooter, their sales will be even more disappointing than 2016.

They might want to examine the reason for their past successes more carefully. I'm convinced that one of the reasons that Modern Warfare was so popular when it come out was because of the level up metagame. All the unlocks etc

At the time, that game did it very well, I remember you being rewarded XP for doing many different actions, whether it was an assist, or a headshot, etc. you'd have those numbers pop up onscreen and it was addictive. And they started that "Prestige" thing if I'm not mistaken, which became standard in many online games afterwards. Fast paced gameplay, addictive metagame, I remember noticing a shift in how other games did the metagame after the success of MW. Some games too it way too far though, like almost everything you did gave you bonus XP.

Anyways, it's a subject that is rarely discussed but I think it can add value in games if done properly.

basically...

So they're going back to WW2 because of what Battlefield did.

I still care about Destiny. I liked what I played but I hope they make the story more compelling and clearer than Destiny. Hope it's a Holiday 2017 launch.

Cool! MW4 confirmed

We're all hoping it will be WW2, but we all know it will be MW.

Hope that means "WW1 or WW2" more so than gameplay features tbh. Getting kinda sick of modern or post-modern shooters.

@the_master_race:

Ahhh shit! Call of Duty's roots are in World War II games! The only thing I learned from WWII games is that the guns sucked ass and took forever to reload! Please don't take us back to those dark and horrible times!

You have had plenty of futuristic shooters in recent years. It's time to throw a bone to the many people that are sick and tired of futuristic shooters and have been begging for a new World War II game.

well different strokes for different folks , I myself prefer a game with a historical theme

I love how Activision is pretty much synonymous with Call of Duty.

I mean what else do they publish ?

The next COD will have a substantial singleplayer campaign and a pure MP experience with no unlocks, XP earning or perks...

I can dream.

come on my friend, you people acting like if COD1 and 2 were masterpieces. they were just as if not weak as modern warfare or later games in series.

they were same hand holding, linear, scripted, short. i remember COD1 was incredibly short and has too much on rail segments.

That's good news. It's been awhile since WW2 COD. World at War was really good.

Looks like I will start enjoying Call of Duty again. Sweet news if true that they make it like it used to be.

@the_master_race:

Didn't you get enough of that historical shit last gen?! It was all the rage early on, remember? Then even before that with Medal of Honor and Socom. Whyyyy do you wanna go back now?!!!?

The different strokes talk is fine when it doesn't involve screwing people over who DON'T want to go back!

Yeah , good old days , upfront I like nothing better than a shooter game where I can Kill Nazis :P

World War II is due for a comeback.

I want a long single-player campaign like in Call of Duty 2.

27 missions baby.

I remember COD as a major improvement over MOHAA.

I remember both as some of the best WW2 games ever made.

but that doesnot change the fact that COD1 was very hand holding, scripted and cinematic game. it was also the game where you cant open the door and follow only your commander.

I hold CoD1 and MoHAA in pretty equal regard but agree both are awesome WW 2 games for their respective times. I think these games sparked a lifelong interest in history for me

I dislike that statement.

everything getting back to its roots this gen.

Hitman got back to roots

Doom got back to roots

Resident evil got back to roots

System Shock getting back to roots

and on and on

@ghosts4ever: Doom and Hitman are cool tho

Kinda disappointed. I was hoping Advanced Warfare 2 would be the one that really got the sci-fi thing to click. Oh well, hopefully series fans will be happy.

I want CoD: Spanish-American War

RE did not go back to its roots.

Meh I actually like the modern settings more than the old stuff.

I don't see it really changing much. You can only milk something for so long before people start losing interest. The basic game has been pretty much the same since cod2, they need to start taking some risks and get away from just being the same old CoD, RE7 did that and it paid off.

It doesn't matter what setting the new COD game has, it will still likely suck balls. Unless they create a new modern game engine and new netcode (and dedicated servers) its going to play just like all the other cod games, with tons of lag and bs. They're still using the quake engine for Christ sake!!!

That's not how you spell "Day of Defeat" :p

Don't you need to leave your roots before you can go back to your roots?

Love me some COD every year. Bring it on.

Like they had any choice lmao

PC exclusive confirmed
