Treyarch pretty much covered WW2 with WaW and going back to that would be a regression. Vietnam and the cold war was done in black ops and other games so I can't see the appeal in re-telling the same story but Treyarch aren't that adventurous in selecting the theatre of war as IW. They are better at making the major battles and set pieces seem less on the rails, IW's standard plan is to place player in a Humvee and drive him around for a few minutes before it explodes and the players screen goes all fuzzy.
I'd love for some of famous battles or engagements throughout history to be included, stuff like the Zeebrugge Raid from WW1 where there was the largest number of victorian crosses awarded for a single event and would make for a fantastic level.
Starts at 3 minutes in.
The submarine base is too far inland for a raid by ground forces, and the base is too well protected from aerial bombardment so an alternative plan is needed. The allies assaulted a port by sea, cut off the pier which is defended by a german destroyer from reinforcements by blowing up a part of it with a submarine, and block the harbour opening by sinking ships packed with concrete to stop the german u-boats from leaving and ultimately attacking allied convoys in the atlantic. Admittedly WW1 has limited appeal so they'd have to transplant it and it's probably better suited to the Halo universe than CoD.0 -

Still don't think COD has reached it's peak. I know a lot of you, particularly those staring from COD4 are consistently dissappointed but the franchise seems to be growing in popularity at each release (going by sales figures). The hatred for the series is growing too however.
I prefer the IW games I don't know why I just do but am looking forward to blops2 even though the first one eventually crushed my soul.
Power of advertising innit
Resentment is certainly growing, even from the MW2 crowd I've noticed at least on a personal level talking to friends of mine who only properly sampled COD in 2009 by purchasing said game.
Despite my seemingly long winded disappointment in the series post-COD4, I was reasonably pleased with BOPS especially going in what low expectations of it due to COD3. I got 4-5 months of fun out of BOPS so again, it exceeded my expectations. I just became bored of repetitive style type gamers - Ghost + Famas/74u rapid fire. New maps bar the first map pack were disappointing too but even then not everyone I played with had them which admittedly was bit frustrating - I really liked Stadium and Kowloon.
I might give an IW game a rent in future but I have more faith in Treyarch producing a decent COD and thus am looking quite forward to it. Vahn is throwing out some good ideas if you, or others aren't following him. It's refreshing instead of having to listen to that hyper, bull****ter Robert Bowling.

As for the theme, no WWII please. Beating a dead horse and all that. WaW it was considered by many to be past it back in 2008, hell that's half the reason I didn't buy WaW myself. Cold War as period in history I've always been interested in, I wouldn't mind them sticking with that again.0 -

fcuk it, set it in Napoleonic era, big square formations of people marching slowly towards each other unloading muskets and single shot rifles. perks could include sleight of hand, which reduces reload time down from 3 minutes to 90 seconds. extra ammunition meaning 6 bags of shot powder instead of 4.
and if you get 25 kills with a bayonet without dying you get to call in an air strike...from balloons

Yeah, it's been released annually in November for a while now. Don't raise it with them though or we'll have a new COD every 6 months 0 -

When I did, I tore through the campaign before even going back to multiplayer. Have always done the same for previous Call of Duty titles. That's just the way I work though. Love the campaigns (especially on veteran, love the challenge)!
Proper gamer mindset is what that is
Do the same myself. I grew up playing campaigns from the early 90s, that part of me will always stay strong. Honestly can't help but smile reading some of the comments regarding campaign, not trying it is one thing but to play a mission if even two and claim it's boring is comical. Nicest way of putting it. I actually thought this year I'd try and jump head first into multiplayer it must be said but no could do. From those cinematic moments, the score and the the general storyline.. I love it all anyway.
Oh and MW3 veteran is simple btw. Few hairy moments, but compared to COD4, it was grand.0 -

Certain parts of it, between the score and whats happening on screen, could honestly say my jaw dropped. It just sweeps over me :eek:El LoCo Ade wrote: »Oh and MW3 veteran is simple btw. Few hairy moments, but compared to COD4, it was grand.
Really? Need to find the time and actually get through it so. And go back to play MW1 + MW2 campaigns, epic 0 -

Personal opinions, im sure the michael bay fan's love them. I find them boring,I didn't say everyone does. Like how you find RPG's and anything with a bit of depth to it.. boring. I can't stand over the top action/war films, i sure as hell am not going to enjoy a game with much less of a story and gameplay that is so linear and on rails that it would almost be a good kenetic game. Probably the same reason why i don't really like UC (Although the story is pretty good), it is far too linear for my taste.
I at least gave them a chance,Blops i finished the jail mission.. so i guess that's 2 levels ?) and MW2/CoD4 i think I finished most of the campaign. I'd rather be playing something like Dues ex or darksouls for my SP experience and leave CoD to what its good at(Most of the time).0 -

I what???
No, I don't like Michael Bay movies. Sorry to disappoint you. We've discussed the TF franchise in the past and I ruthlessly slated that gob****e then for doing his damnedest in trying to ruin arguably my favourite childhood show. So yeah, not so much of a fan
Fairly sure I discussed it at some point in the OTT too. Any stick to hit, etc
No, I've never said I found all RPG based games boring. Find me a quote saying otherwise. They aren't my cup of tea but I do appreciate certain aspects about them (Skyrim landscape for example, Fallout for atmosphere), and how some people like them even if I'm not keen into them. I'am not ignorant nor a troll to slate a particular genre entirely. Most games have something redeemable about them. Very few don't. Pokemon Red/Blue is considered an RPG by many, I did like that as you know. San Andreas had RPG elements in it and it worked very well in it.
I did say I hate dragons, wizardry and hocus pocus malark. Guilty as charged!
Anyway, this is going off topic. If you're that bothered, discuss it with me in the Off topic thread
Back on topic. As I said, one or two missions into a campaign is no way to judge a COD campaign. But in saying that, if you didn't like Korkuta in BOPS there's no point trying to discuss this particular facet any further.0 -

I never said you were a micheal bay fan. Im sure people who are fans of his style of film are probably fans of the CoD campaign since they're sort of similar, lots of explosions, a little character development and more explosions.
RPG's/Dragons/Wizards...whatever.. the point is.. some games are simply not for you, like some types of games are not for me. I didn't have to play more of black ops to decide if i'd like the game or not, i could tell from the first level that it was just the same style of game as the rest and was bored. I don't see how thats comical. I Appriciate the main part of the call of duty games.. the multiplayer, i think thats more than enough to warrant a purchase.0 -
