This one actually looks kinda promising
Trailer was nice.
The space sections were the best thing about Ghosts, so I'm cautioisly optimistic.
Mecha and space battles look cool but I doubt they'll be a big focus.
And yet again, it looks like they're using bullets. Still. Where are my fucking beam rifles?
>>14184761
I'm sure there will be a couple of energy weapons.
>trademark symbol in the video title
Fucking Activision.LOL MAJOR TOM SONG CUZ IT'S ABOUT SPACE GET IT!?!?!
That one robot guy seems like a bro.
Eh, I wanted Ghosts 2, not more X WARFARE.
I mean I do appreciate how the franchise is getting progressively more batshit insane but Ghosts has a cliffhanger in need of resolution.
BlOps2 is still the best one, IMO.
>>14184914
Ghosts was poorly received so I think that story is abandoned.
The baddies in this sound like colonial rebels, striking the center of world government in a surprise attack. Guess that makes us the Feddies. I hope we get a super prototype.
>>14184941
I really want more Rourke though.
Don't let your souls be weighed down by gravity
periodically i buy a cod title, and periodically i am disappointed by the fact that i let myself buy a cod title.
>>14184914
Ghosts was shit. At least Advanced Warfare tried to improve the stagnant gameplay. I'd much prefer they continue to work on the mobility and make it more fun to play.
Looking forward to Battlefield 1914 desu, I'm gonna be shouting SEIG KAISER REINHARDO the whole time.
>it's a "Cawadooty does Zeon" episode
>>14185396
FUCK BATTLEFIELD
DAWN OF WAR III SOON
>>14185401
WWIII is overdone, I'm tired of modern/future tech honestly. We have enough games about the exact same decade or two.
>>14185374
The only problem I'd personally identify with Ghosts was its ttk.
Apparently the root cause of it was the hit detection being the most precise it had ever been at the time, but I found it to create a dissonance between the semi-arcadey nature of CoD's gameplay and the ease of death one would associate more readily with a realism-shooter like Red Orchestra or similar.
...then again, Instagib was a thing back in the arena shooter days, so twitchy shoot-first/kill-first design isn't totally out of left field.
But past that I was pretty down with Ghosts being a sort of egg-on-face routine in the vein of the Modern Warfare story arc where you're fighting a battle that isn't exactly a clear cut win for your player character, culminating in getting styled on by the primary antagonist.
BlOps2 arguably did it better because y'know branching plot gimmick and all that, but I liked that sort of "we're fucked" atmosphere Ghosts had going for it, and I really wanted to see it get wrapped up.
>>14185422
I don't think we've hit oversaturation quite yet, not like what WWII did a decade ago.
When did Call of Duty go scifi on us?
I find it funny that Call of Duty started out aas a WWII shooter, whent into modern times, then went not-too-distant-future on us and now it's full fucking zeon.
>>14184771
>>That one robot guy seems like a bro.
This, seems like there's evil versions too.
>>14185484
>When did Call of Duty go scifi on us?
Black OPs2?
>>14185484
BlOps2, mainly.
Seeds of it sown in the Modern Warfare saga.
But mostly it's BlOps2.

>>14185579
I'm excited for it because Raven Software is making it
I feel bad for those guys since after singularity they've just been a CoD DLC map factory
Also IW won't do jack shit with the space setting outside of a few setpiece missions
This isn't the follow-up to Shattered Horizon that I was looking for
>>14185646
It's just the most bland and uninspired COD to date. The ending is pretty shit. The MP maps are shit. PC port is shit

How does the wing fold like that though? The leg is kind of in the way of the part that would be inside the fuselage.

Still, keeping my expectations low for CoD regurgitation. If anything, I might be pleasantly surprised.

>>14184730
Sounds like a misguided business decision for CoD to move past killing brown foreigners who shake fists at US freedoms just as everyone is warming up to the idea in real life again.
>>14186240
They cant, that's against the new morality laws.
>>14186240
why kill brown people when you can kill every race?
>>14186291
I like that motion.
>>14186291
This anon gets it.
Where are you guys getting much mecha out of this? We see one sort of chicken-walker-ish mecha, but most of it is of a nondescript footsoldier-guy.
It's not so much /m/ as it is Totally-Not-CoD-Master-Chief?
I mean, right down to to the magic-supertechnology floating/flying drop ships and power armor and relative level of small arms technology, this is Halo and Killzone having a pretty-but-probably-retarded baby and giving it to Activision to take care of.
>>14186240
>move past killing brown foreigners who shake fists at US freedoms just as everyone is warming up to the idea in real life again.
It's more along the lines that the current world has become increasingly bored with it.
Just like there's only so many times you can storm Normandy and kill Nazis, there's only so many times you can go inna Sandbox and shoot Jihadis backed by VDV and/or Chinese sekrit squirrel teams.
FPS legitimately need a new "enemy" to just throw us at; we're bored killing people we already "know" in various iterations already.
I really just don't know why "alternate Earth" settings like in Ace Combat really aren't more popular? I mean, Papers Please made a mini-nation of internet Arstotzkans (GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA) already. I'm thinking people would happily bandwagon onto a not-Earth nation with its own made-up ideology and international relations scruples.
>>14186346
Even fucking Titanfall had people picking up the propaganda of its factions. Or faction, only the IMC was interesting. Militia are shitty boring terrorists.
>>14186410
Blisk, pls.
Did Advanced Warfare have legit mechs in it? I saw something like a spider tank in one of the trailers.
I know it was on sale recently, so I can probably get it cheap from some keysite.
>>14186585
There was the spider tanks and the XS1 Goliath, but that's all as far as mechs go.
Black Ops 3 actually had more mechs.
>>14184761
at 60 seconds into the trailer, you can see someone fire some kind of blue plasma thing
>>14186613
That's not a terrible design if you remove some of the clutter and add a head.
>>14186613
Is that from BO3 or AW?
>>14186760
The latter.
>>14186332
Did you not see the robotic foot soldiers that look like the droids from Elysium? There were a bunch of them in the trailer

>>14184730
You can slap as many spaceships and laser weapons as you want on the game, but I'm still not going to play a game with cancerous CoD mechanics and gunplay. Window dressing only takes you so far, and the primary CoD audience would buy the next installment if it were guys running around in rainbow t-shirts with paintball guns.
I can't wait to see how PLASMA RIFLES handle and cut through MONOMOLECULAR CARBON NANOTUBE PLATE ARMOR in exactly the same fashion an M4 cuts through flak jackets. Space shooters are inherently superior to "realistic" modern shooters, but not if you abandon everything futuristic about them except for the graphics.
>>14185426
Instagib was a thing back in arena shooter days with a specialized weapon with a long refire time, no ADS zoom, no helping-hand aim assist, no spawning with the thing, and only against enemies with no pickups. Also, everyone having 400ms ping as a matter of course.
At this point, the most novel thing an FPS could hope to do is eliminate all sniper rifle / railgun-styled weapons and drastically pump TTK to the point where only prolonged focus on center mass does anything. That would be an utterly alien playstyle to everyone who's grown up on the last 10-12 years of shooters.
>>14184730
I'll be honest, I'm more excited for the MW remaster than Halo-Clone 3000
I can't wait to see the nuke scene in fucking HD
>>14190876
>no spawning with the thing
Except for the part where you always spawned with the chosen arbitrary hitscan shootbang in an igib mode.
what exotic space ethnicities will our 3-5 living-challenged main characters in the four hour single player be?
>muhammad, take out the shield generator
>gupta, teleport the photon torpedo
>ramirez, blow up the death star
>>14190898
Well, there's already confirmed a black brit and american latina for the player side characters.
Don't expect whites outside of the bad guy roles
>>14190892
Instagib modes are a completely different bag from the "default" game settings where only one or two weapons are capable of a OHKO on their own. If the latter didn't exist but only the former did, I wouldn't even say past arena shooters HAD instagibs.
But that's another fucking thing. Just look at the wealth of game modes and server operator control you had over the specifics of the game. Go run a no-sniper server, or a knives only server, or give everyone triple health if you want. That shit doesn't exist anymore. Instead you get the stock game with a couple different objectives (capture the fla-I mean point, king of the hill, [team] deathmatch, and some arbitrary objective mode) and that's mostly it. Please end me.

Soap (what kind of name is that?)
Ramirez (DO EVERYTHING)
>>14190912
UT instagib mutator, everyone spawned with shockrifles locked to primary fire that killed instantly.
Alternatively, any James Bond game with Golden Gun mode.
Honestly one of the small things I dislike about Craig era Bond, we don't get Golden Gun shenanigans in the vidya anymore.

>tfw you were a 17yo oncereally though the youth will always be retarded, accept it and try to teach them so they don't act like kids when they're well into their 20s

When I was 17, we were allowed to ride our bikes past the end of the block and stay out until 10pm. Now you can't even get off your front lawn without parental supervision or mom and pop are going to the slammer for child endangerment. It's not just the kids that are stupid.
>>14191541
Which just means that the last generations failed to stop acting like children. Don't let the same mistake happen again.
>>14191589
This and the previous generation (basically anyone over 30) banned a lot of things that were fine when they were growing up, we shaped the world for them to see and interpret and we blame the youth for our failures.
the failures of the next generation lies mostly with the previous one for failing them
>>14191613
>the previous generation (basically anyone over 30) banned a lot of things that were fine when they were growing up
I apologize for my peers ALSO ruining everything. If we could have every over-makeup'd 30-50 woman in HR removed from their job, I'm sure things would turn around pretty fast.

>>14194939
>doing something new
What's new about it?
>>14194974
you're not fighting Russians or middle easterners, no vietNAM flash backs and introduction of those neat looking jets
>>14194982
So it's Call of Duty 1 with Planetside/Tribes/BF2142 vehicles.
Glad to see they're shaking up all the superficial stuff instead of altering the basic gameplay, which is primarily what people get tired of (or don't like in the first place) about CoD.
It's a shame this will fail to live up to expectations and other publishers will be put off of future-space shooters because "it didn't work for COD; people must not like future-space", when the real problem is people not liking COD.
>>14194982
There are hardly any Vietnam games though, at least compared to WW2 or modern day durka duck hunt.
>>14195039
sadly this, I'd rather have them come to the conclusion that CoD is no longer a big money maker and then move on to create another franchise to milk until it's dry
>>14184914
I feel the same anon. I would love to see a Ghosts 2 to see the story resolution.
I actually liked the setting of the story. Not every day we get a devastated US. It felt fun being the underdogs that game. The Federation were pretty cool as antagonists because it was different from the usual Russia.
The ending with Rorke kidnapping Logan was a pretty good twist and a huge cliffhanger, especially with the last scene of Logan being tortured in the hole. Made me think that in the next Ghosts that maybe we'd get a two-sided POV campaign where we'd play as Logan for the Federation and Hesh for the US.

>>14200160
Popular yes, but only among PC gamers who look for "complicated" game (versus mainstream).
Arguably, Star Citizen might punch his way into mainstream if it ever come out.
But I suspect Elite:Dangerous will stay more well known just because it's easier to play and can boast to have infinitely procedurally generated boredom, and you can buy EXTENSION !
