Does anyone else remember when Call of Duty was a WWII game?
WWII sucked
I actually kind of like this new setting, but we all know that it's CoD so it will be a dull point and click 'adventure'.

Hello grandad
>>336351501
I hope we get dogfights in muktiplayer
>>336351790
Will buy if this is true.
>>336351501
Yes and I'm glad that we moved on.
>>336351790
>yfw the new COD will be a better Battlefront then what the new Battlefront is.
Where are the laser guns?
>>336351965
we have clicky bullets now
The biggest problem I have with the futuristic CoD games (outside of the obvious - that is that they are CoD and therefor dull as hell) is that they simply have no artistic talent or vision. The art direction is just incredibly dull and generic. It's just really a poor science-fiction when you think about it.
The original CoD being historic and present-set actually at least worked due to SOME degree of autheticity - they presented war as a really watered down and schematic, but at least emulated a feeling of a war movie.
But with them going sci-fi it's the lack of imagination and artistic talent that makes it unbareably dull to me.
>>336351501
>mfw i thought the whole modern warfare thing was just a phase
Was I the only one who thought this? I remember thinking Battlefield 2 was going to be a cool modern spinoff of the franchise, not the new industry standard. I just want games to go back to WWII, enough with this modern and future faggotry.
>>336352173
normies like modern setting
>mfw some people actually think you'll get to pilot a ship
99% it's on-rail.
>>336352236
But why set your games in shitty fictional wars that have no basis in reality and no possibility of occurring in our post nuclear deterrence world? Why not set it in awesome historical battles that actually happened. Their are so many fronts, stories, and battles that the industry has yet to exploit and yet they just throw the whole setting into the trash. Fuck'em, war games not based on a historical setting are garbage.
>>336352089
i actually am not a fan of the series but i think the art design is remarkably believable and aesthetically pleasing in the newer instalments
>>336352726
Shill harder faggot
>Cod becomes Halo
Who's hyped for Halo:WW2?
>>336351728
>>336351709
Well which is it?
>>336352857
He's right, AW designs are bad ass.
>>336352726
>i think the art design is remarkably believable and aesthetically pleasing in the newer instalments
I will never understand that. It looks like what a 13 years old would make up after watching a handful of modern sci-fi movies. I think of Ghost in Shell, of Blade Runner, of Elysium (even though I did not like that movie). All of those had some taste and some vision to them. This is just garbage collection haphazardly combined elements of each of those, lacking any consistency, sacrificing cinematic appeal for actual thoughtful design.

What is Wolfenstein: New Order
I'll take U.S. Cities for $100
>>336353339

Was schizophrenic as fuck with it's designs, what was up with those random fucking ninjas and the cherry blossom showdown shit?
I do generally like the strong designs of Blomkamp's movies though.

Remember when we were fucking tired of WW2 shooters?
>>336354382
I tried replaying MoHAA a few months ago and realized that I'm still fucking tired of them. Such a bland setting.
>>336352173
And I say enough with the WW2 faggotry
>>336353770
The complaint that you are raising is towards direction, not art direction and design. Weapon, ship, armor designs and locations were great. It's just that everything that happened with them was absolute rubbish.
>>336354591
>>336354742
Just no taste.
>>336355026
WWI would be better

>no Crimean war fps

>>336355887
Nah, Linear Warfare is fucking dope. M&B: Napoleonic Wars is fun as fuck when your playing in a regiment.
>>336356023
WWI had more battles than just the German-French trench warfare, you know
I'd love a game about the French war in Indochina.
Vietnam war is overrated.

Suck it down you tryhard, tacticool, boots-on-the-ground wannabe operator NIGGERS.
You fuckin' faggots! Ha ha ha ha
>>336355634
Bit of an aside, but have you listened to Dan Carlins WW1 podcast?
>>336355887
Play as a stormtrooper then. Charge the lines, dodging shells, and then clear it out with shovel, grenade, and pistol
>>336356373
>dodging shells
Real life isn't an anime
>>336355887
None of those wars used line infantry.
>>336356373
I've gotten into the 3rd or 4th one. I absorbed as much as I could find on it during college though.
>>336356184
>>336356274
Okay then.
>CoD: WWI

>>336356569
What's the late 19th/early 20th century period between line infantry warfare and maneuver warfare called
>>336356023
>he actually thinks they charged into no-mans land to face machine guns
>>336356569
They were basically using Line infantry at the beginning of WWI.
>>336356781
So like the Franco-Prussian war?
>>336351501
I remember when you niggas said "oh no another ww2fps how original"
>>336356858
"What's this, they have a weapon intended for area denial? TIME TO RUSH INTO THAT AREA"
>>336356938
Yes
>>336356887
Not really man, no need to stand in a line to maximize firing power when you have guns that don't need to be loaded for 20 seconds
>>336356887
No, they weren't. Only the Brits still used tactics such as ranked fire, and they broke formation immediately after.
>>336356705
I'm debating getting some of the paywalled content. Dude is just fun to listen to.
>>336352173
Yeah, MW was when I lost interest in CoD. I remember thinking "Why would they bring out a boring BF2 / CS clone, when they pretty much dominate the WW2 FPS genre."
>>336351501
yes and a mediocre one at that.
only cod1 was good but way too short.
cod3 was good, cod2 was forgettable.
/v/ used to shit on cod but its turned out alot better than medal of honor which died alongside the rest of the old boring ww2 shooters.
>>336356270
You already have one
Halo, Titanfall, Doom 4, Overwatch
There's just too many sci-fi future shooters. I want the series to go back to WW2 setpieces.
>>336351501
Yes, I do.
This is an improvement. At least there's some originality and creative liberty at work here.
>>336357265
Wait, hold on
I thought this was a conceptual thread about how we want other eras in shooters again
But you _actually_ want to play CoD games? What the fuck is wrong with you
>>336357265
Halo and Timesplitters should have the monopoly on sci fi console shooters, leave WWII to stuff like Red Orchestra
>>336357170
>CoD3 better than 2
Just when I thought /v/ couldn't have worse taste, you just come here and dig deeper.
>>336356270
Hell yeah, my man over here.

>Literally ripping off the DMR/BR design from Halo
>>336351501
Koniggratzer marsch was the best victory theme ever.
>>336352089
To be fair the original CoD lacked imagination as well. The American campaign was just Band of Brothers, the Russian was Enemy at the Gates, and the British was all the old movies that decided to include the British.
Why does everyone hate the movement mechanics in the newer CODs? It makes things much more interesting, fast-paced, and adds some sort of verticality like quake
>>336358186
>It's a bullpup so it must be ripping off Halo!
>>336358217
Call of Duty and music makes me remember this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kooXAfY7p8
>>336358483
Because Call of Duty 4 was the first shooter their parents allowed them to play.
>>336358853
I'm shocked that anybody remembers anything about CoD3 except the billion thermite placement QTEs.
>>336357226
Well I'd like one that's good, because this one looks like absolute garbage.
Also one from the French side, because I don't feel like playing as a filthy rice farmer.
>>336359696
I remember the shitty Wii version that didn't even have multiplayer
>>336352173
near future > WWII imo
>>336359905
So you'd rather be a living baguette than a piece of rice, doesn't sound like an improvement
wtf is it with people and wanting more WWII shooters.
I mean like there's a hundred of them, and at least a dozen good ones.
>>336362048
lmao who plays games older than 3 years tho
>>336351501
sry, this is wrong. Call of duty is a fps shooter with an action driven story single player mode (alots of scripts allowes great directing), setting will change, but not the scripted storytelling.
>>336356023
I want this meme to die.
>>336352636
For the exact same reason people make sci fi movies and books.
>>336351501
yes and they were terrible
>cod goes into a earth-space coloniss war setting
im okay with this
>>336364386
The cool thing is, you get your own spaceship.
AWESOME
And, this is really cool, there are 2 core functions.
- wow Garnison like mini game (send troops to rescue colonies or kill aliens and nazi zombies)
- Travel around to rescue and recruit team member for the final level and endboss.
>>336362048
Because we have a new generation of hardware which could be utilized to do something new with the genre; i.e. destructible environments, improved graphics, etc.
Why is it so hard for some people to wrap their heads around this? It's obvious, really.
>>336363670
>first person shooter shooter
Gen5 and Gen6 consoles put up with WW2 games for 10 years.
Gen6 starts the modern war craze, lasts about 5 years
Tail end of Gen6 and whole of Gen7 starts the future war craze, so far lasted 4 years
Suddenly everyone is sick of future shit and wants to go back to WW2 or something. Why?
Everyone is badmouthing CoD:IW and saying they'll only get it for the MW remaster...what the shit? Why does everyone have a hard-on for MW1 and 2? Both of them were some of the most imbalanced in the fucking series, MW1 practically required you to use the M16, MP5, or AK74u if you wanted to be competitive, and MW2 was the most imbalanced mess of them all for reasons that I feel everyone knows.
Give me space battles. Let me board an enemy ship and rip it apart form the inside. Let me jump from space junk to space junk popping fools while changing my delta-v. Gimmie that fucking mech traversing mars whatever that shit was while smacking APCs out of the way. I guarantee if BF2142 was getting a remake I'd be all over that shit so hard it may as well be attached to me by the hip. Until that happens, this is the closest I'll get to the kind of future warfare game I was looking for.
