Call of Duty: WWII

[BFG10K]

Looks like the next Call of Duty installment might be returning to its roots. The only good one was #2 because it had reasonable depth to the level design and many maps could be completed with multiple paths. It too was set in World War 2.

The rest were average to mediocre. In particular, everyone raves about MW1, but I thought it was awful. It was nothing more than a 3 hour interactive cut-scene packaged as a "game".

Also its sequel MW2 was generally a snore-fest, especially the neighborhood/diner levels.

I don't have high hopes for this one but perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Looks great for a 12 year old game.

I loved the multiplayer of the original COD, it's expansion, and COD2. World at War was pretty good too. I did enjoy the first 2 modern warfare games, but now it's just gotten ridiculous.

Seeing those pictures makes me want to install the old games. Do people still play?

Are you talking about the SP mode? I didnt know anyone bothered to play COD singleplayer, its been the same game for over a decade now. The only time I bother playing COD is for zombies, and maybe MP.

I probably put over 200 hours in MW1/MW2, and I never once even started up the campaign.

 

[BlueWeasel]

I played through the campaigns of the original games and MW1. None of them were any good. The AI sucked and generally consisted of throwing more and more enemies at you if you didn't finish fast enough.

Wait will it have tanks to drive around and shoot stuff in?

 

[ronbo613]

I liked the COD World at War because I have an interest in WWII. However, I would agree with those who say that multiplayer is really where it's at with Call of Duty anything.

 

[cmdrdredd]

I don't think there is any battle, situation, or experience from WWII we haven't seen in a game already. That said, FPS games really can't differentiate themselves much from what has already been seen and done before. I think the genre is stale personally.

Yes, I've exclusively played single player for around the last 15 years.

Now before anyone says "nobody plays single player anymore", I'd point them to the Bethesda Elder Scrolls and Fallout games which are exclusively SP and have each sold millions of copies.

Neither of which are COD, because COD SP sucks

I put most of my hours into COD, COD2, COD4, and COD:WAR. Best 4 games they came out with IMO.

The newer ones are all just rehashed futuristic garbage. I'm REALLY hoping they don't screw this up because i'm looking forward to a WWII game again.

maybe in single player. this isn't battlefield

I would really like to see someone do a good job of the Battle for Castle Itter probably the only battle where US and Wehrmacht troops fought on the same side, it is also just a damn cool story.

Any one playing? I picked up this game, first COD game ive played since COD 2... Its not to bad

Call of Duty: WWII

SOLD!

 

[BFG10K]

I watched a gameplay video of the first hour and was surprised to see no regenerating health. WAAAAY too many cut scenes though, and the install size is obscene. I’ll be skipping this one.

 

[sandorski]

QTEs, yuck.

 

[EXCellR8]

I might play it 2 years from now when I can get a broken box copy from GS for 20 bucks... Sniper Elite is all of the WWII content I need.

If I want historically inaccurate, I'll play Wolfenstein.

Agreed. CoD4 had dedicated servers with up to 54 players and admins, option to kick ban cheatware users ect.

Ever since CoD has just been worse.

Just some hot garbage yearly releases to maximize sales. Sadly its seems to pay off for Activision.

Bought and returned it after less than an hour of play. The second mission was glitch after using smoke grenades. The MP was unimpressive too. I will wait until it's patched and on sale to consider it again.

I tried the MP back when they had a free weekend for the beta or something. I used to be good at like COD4, but this was terrible. I only played TDM, which is what I always played in the previous games.
I don't know if my eyes are bad and my reflexes are slower or what, but I couldn't see the enemy players 90% of the time, and when I did, they killed me immediately. All the colors on the environment and the players were the same, so they blended in completely.

the same old respawning in front of an enemy player is still there too. guess they'll never fix that

I didn't like the way gameplay went with like Advanced Warfare, so I was hoping that going back to WWII would help, but I don't think it did....

They actually dig "fix" the spawning in some earlier CoDs. Where it would try to not spawn you in X area if there was an enemy within Y distance. This did not work if there was enough people to fill all areas of the small maps though.

TDM is just infuriating. I never play that. I bought the game cause I had some free Dell credit and I've been enjoying it. Much better on PC than Xbox that's for sure. I don't know why the install size is so big though. Graphically, I have everything set on max at 1440p and it looks meh. It's not taxing on a system at all.
