Official Call of Duty: WWII - Story Trailer

aka Call of Duty: Good To Be Back!

I'd be lying if I said CoD going back to WWII didn't have me interested but I'm not convinced yet

Sweet. I'm in for another COD campaign. Especially if it's World War 2.

That pre-war Thompson submachine gun with the 50 round drum is triggering the hell out of me. Also a flamethrower in Europe? C'mon. It's not hard to look up these things.

Story looks alright, probably a bit over-dramatic even for CoD. Given the gameplay we've seen from the multiplayer I don't really have any high hopes for this game.

@Wasdie: the mp has always been worst part of COD despite its most popular. SP is only interesting thing.

From the MP we can get an idea of the basic gunplay and whatnot found in the SP. On those points CoD WWII looks like crap. Guns look and sound terrible to shoot, there is virtually no recoil, the running pace is extremely fast, movements are jerky as hell. It's not going to translate well.

While I agree that the 50 round drum mag and front grip on the Thompson is ridiculously out of date, man portable and vehicle mounted flamethrowers were actually pretty common on the Western front during WWII and used by both the Allies and the Axis.

The Churchill Crocodile was very real

@GarGx1: I don't know if individual flamethrower packs were used much in Europe though. They were brought in to the Pacific theater because the Japanese were so deeply entrenched.

@Wasdie: Link It's a Wiki and of course should be taken with a pinch of salt but man portable flamethrowers were definitely used in Europe.

meh. I know I'm in the minority here but I actually prefer the future setting over historical one. After playing fast paced shooters like Titanfall 2 or DOOM, games like Battlefield 1 or CoD WWII or any other "feet on the ground" shooter look slow paced and boring to me

Well, it's far less cringe-worthy than that Infinite Warfare trash, at least. I'll give it that.

Probably still the same old 5 1/2 hour corridor-linear campaign, gimmicky multiplayer and tired zombie mode, though. My initial decision is still a Pass, pending reviews.

My gods, it's like actually being in a war if it had microtransactions.

I ended up buying it. Usually get around 30+ hours of game time out of each COD (campaign + multiplayer). I am down for a slower COD for a change.

back in the day I loved the campaign for call of duty 2 still not convinced though I became a BF fanboy over last 3 years

I have feeling that it can do to series what AC4 black flag did to AC series.

bunch of bad yearly games with one game turn out good.

@Wasdie: You should see the MP. They have a suppressor for like every gun. Lol

*edit* I noticed you said you saw the MP, but not sure if you saw the suppressors.

And holographic sights. It's really stupid.

It's all CGI which is funny since BF1 has the same kind of graphics, if not better, ingame.

Confirmed at 4k/HDR for XB1X

Great news, glad i snagged a pre order for the X1X yesterday

I'm sure this is prerendered yet the particle, volumetric, and dynamic light source effects look like they are from 2014. All the drama in the world won't save this dated franchise.

@wizard: It doesn't need to be saved, it sales like hotcakes.

COD is always 60fps.

So having 4k/60 is pretty nice.

Back at what? uninspired gameplay?

I'll rent it to play SP
