They're basically the same game. All CODs are.

I wouldn't say they all are. They all had big difference among themselves enough for people to have favorites.
Blackrain39
They only did WW2 so that battlefield couldn't.
ping0s
Um.... you really Battlefield did WW2 already, right? The franchise started off of it, Battlefield 1942 game, early 2000s, great game.

I'm just here to compliment you on your username ❤️

Its been 10 years... oh man i feel old

Even a remaster of the original CoD with today's tech would be welcome.

Honestly I want to see one about the great Emu war, just a game about fighting 60 000 emus and losing.
DidYouKnowThatCashewsComeFromAFruit
I haven't playe the last 3 or 4 games in the series but this one honestly looks super cool
PrivateOstrich242
I'm excited but if I see even a hint of microtransactions I'm out. They straight-up killed recent cods
SpIdErVeRsE01
You might as well not even take an interest in the game then, of course there will be microtransactions.
It's a good thing I'm not too fussed then, ay?

Ok yea... But the original modern warfare was good... The shit that rolled down hill after... This should be good and bring out a bf 1942.
Genstan
I just want to say that CoD community asked for a WW2 game for like YEARS but they kept doing these futuristic FPS. Guess what happened 1/2
After Battlefield 1 release 2/2
depressingcomments
I think that coincides with our change in interests and desires in video games. Back in 2007 we wanted to see the future of gaming and what
it was capable of. In 2017 we're moving into a VR future, we want immersion and realism. It's just about being ahead of the curve.
TheSlavViking
Since we are about to start ww3 over North Korea it would be nice to see a game based on the Korean war
Freaknik48
Wouldn't be a world war NK has no allies china doesn't like em nor does Russia so just the a new battle in the never ended Korean War.
TacticalL0tion
Oh look battlefield 1 did pretty well... Proceeds to copy idea in cod style with even more emotionally distanced it
BF 1 is WW1 not 2 Yes it's still WW but it still looks better than BF 1
ElelSiggir
WW2 is overdone, imho. Have you seen Verdun or Rising Storm 2: Vietnam? Napalm strikes. F'n NAPALM strikes.
Opps. I meant Red Orchestra.
kgbofficer
No you were right, Verdun is ww1 and Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is the title. It doesn't have the RO title for this one, RO is soviet-german
JagdPanzer38T
WW2 Europe and Japanese theaters are overdone. there was still a *lot* more interesting things going on that those two areas.
DaedaIus
I don't know, I'd play as WW2 Japanese. Warcrime simulator 2017
Kargathia
Should be fun =) I was already impressed with how goddamn scary artillery was in RO2
imgurisbecomingcancer
Verdun was shit. I got my money back from Steam asap. Shame.
gaugetx
Me too. Total let down
brendoncnz
Really? I love Verdun and would like to know why you didn't like it. I thought it was a beautiful portrayal of ww1
Mamemolaredo
I don't feel that WW1 works as a FPS game. A soldier had no worth and a generation was sent to the meat grinder. Victoria 2 does it justice.
Have you not played battlefield 1? Seems to work pretty well as a fps....
WW1 is not about grizzly heroes gunning down germans. It's about dying a pointless death in a charge, getting shelled or gassed.
Battlefield 1 is basically ww2 with ww1 guns. Verdun is where the realistic trench warfare/mainly bolt action reality is
eroso
Vietnam type of terrain is pretty shit. Grass and bushes every where - campers paradise.
AsidRayne1245
Shellshock for ps2
Trubbish
those arent WW2 games...
Exactly what he said.
BeesechurgerProductions
That's why he said World War 2 was overdone. He gave examples of good non-WW2, historical shooters.
what, I thought he was mentioning World War 2 games
HollowOfLondor
Smells like victory.
RandomImgurian
Gonna just be the same old American push through France we've seen a thousand times before, though. I'm sure of it.
We could have Vietnam, man. Fuckin 'Nam!
Personally I'd love a Vietnam game where you play as the vietcong. I don't think that's been done before (other than Star Wars of course)
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
Yup. Another goddamn team of US Super Soldiers who single handedly liberate France.
NomadicAssassin
Haxbrygd
Just my opinion: I'd like to see a Russian POV of the Winter War in a game.

The Vendetta mission in WAW is one of my fav FPS campaigns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj7ljvBEBg4
Draevan13
I'm pretty sure I heard a British guy in the trailer, so hopefully we'll get more than one perspective.
Nazeren
It's a shame no game companies pay mind to other fronts of the war or other perspectives, like a German Campaign for example
Anarric
Battlefield 1942 had Stalingrad and tons of pacific maps;I loved moving carriers close to spawn points and bombing the shit out of everyone!
flyinggeorge
BF 1942 was my favorite LAN party game like 10 years ago
Ulthirm
Ive always wanted to try a legitimate game based on the western front (the massive stalemate that iirc was the origin of trench warfare)
Not one with a map based on it, but everything is actually based and originates around the trenches like it did irl
DickusStarspeedus
If we played as a Nazi who genuinely believes they are doing the right thing, or an unwilling German soldier or something would be great.
War criminal simulator 2018. But in all seriousness: maybe just a regular member of the Wehrmacht or a forced conscript.
This would be a great idea, but it's a shame nobody does it cause they are afraid of everyone getting pissy cause "The Nazi's were ALL bad"
KlatnYelox
But now you got people offended at the wolfenstein game for killing Nazis.
ikbenlike

AbrasiveSasquatch
Id pay for a WWII shooter that requires a lot of concentration and camping.

Can't wait for Call of Duty Neanderthal Wars!! "Oh sweet I got my Wolly Mammoth kill streak. Aw this guys a try hard using spear".
Jaytheplane
All I care about is zombies, they better do a good job
Devils29
right? i dont want dancing zombies in clown costumes at an arcade. Give me dark and depressing Fuhrerbunker May of 45
Only reason to buy CoD games these days IMO. CoD Zombies is the shit!
smtxom
Only reason I have the new COD was because it came with my xbox1 free. Even then I only play zombies. The game sucks.
Zordicron
Same, cept mine is still in it's shrink wrap.
BigAZNMan
It's only because Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare did so bad. BlOps 3 was meh in my opinion as well.
JHRD1880
Didn't IW do really well? It got a lot of flak, but sold like crazy.
It only did good because of the Modern Warfare remaster that was bundled with it. Otherwise, i doubt any people would have bought IW.
Can't edit to see all the angry fan boys when they find out that the most common weapons in ww2 were semi automatic rifles
*can't wait.
EyesLikeTheSky
I'm pretty sure they know. Ww2 isn't exactly occult knowledge.
You would be surprised about how little people know about history, especially the nuances of military history like this.
AlexDuos
I'd love an FPS that was a bunch of old dudes sitting around drinking telling overblown war stories and the game is as over the top to match
ScarlettCandy
Sounds like Battlefield: Bad Company
TheHappyCanadian
"did I ever tell you about the time I teabagged the Kaiser?"
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
That sounds awesome.
If you played with a group of friends, that is EXACTLY what BF 1942(the old one from early 2000's) was.Game mechanics+phys engine=tomfoolery
I played with friends, but that's not how it went.
Xares
You should check out Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, it's basically this but set in the old west.
Cyzyk
This is correct and factual.
JimBexleySpeedisaliveandwellontheshoresofFiji
Battlefield 1 was basically a WW2 shooter painted to look like WW1
RoofTopBoys
Do elaborate
Not the above comment but it didnt look realistic. Bolt action rifles, trenches etc? They seem to sprint around buildings spray bullets
Well something alot of people forget is in WW1 they actually did have many repeater weapons. Also they actually were sub machine guns P1
And in WW1 you have to remember most of it was pot shots from trench to trench, fairly boring really. So yeah thats unrealistic P2
But not as much as you think. BF1 did a wonderful job of showing the actual the defense against waves of enemies, and made it feel more P3
I know they had machine guns and sub machine guns, but its unrealistic that everyone did
Well sure, but you have to remember this is a game. Would you really have fun poking your head up and down taking pot shot like they did?
HakunaThemTatas
Don't forget about battlefield 1... They did it first, went back in time that is.
ch3stnuts
To be fair, this game has been in development for 2.5 years, long before the announcement of BF1. Its likely that they didn't know (1/2)
that BF1 was being developed until they were well into development of this game. I just think it's unfair to say they outright copied BF1
ThoughtfulSatan
What they should do that almost no one has done is the Korean War. Basically the same weapons as WW2 anyway
Typhlosion130
Slightly more advanced combat, similar weapons yet more advanced mostly on the vehicle side, with tthe main difference being locations
shimmernshine
How about show the Chinese in a WWII game? Or the Winter War?
Lol play as the white death
SmellOfMonkey
What they should do is what no video game studio has done, thumb war
xrufus7x
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/tag/thumbderdome-wrestling/
Ralpheo
Play mercenaries
I have, there are a dozen games with modern korean war, but I am talking about the actual Korean War. No one has done it
keeper057
I always thought a game about the hypothetical invasion of mainland Japan would be pretty badass
SuperRockinMrMagic
What about Soviets vs Mujahadeen? Interesting terrain, both campaigns would kinda be for the bad guys.
Black ops 2 did that
Didn't know that. Lost interest in the franchise after MW3. Was it good?
No, It was nice for the flashback missions, other than that it was shit
Paasimus
I want a WW2 shooter, except from German perspective. Killing soviets and french. later yanks maybe. they played a minor part after all.
MLGsamantha
M.A.S.H. : The Video Game
retnab
Or Call of Duty: Boer War, that'd be a strange one.
MichaelScar
Hard core guerrilla shit with the occasional concentration camp mission, I can dig it
Animatronio
Yeah, you could be sent to one of the first concentration camps, sounds pretty dope.
Squossifrage
CoD: Boxer Rebellion
Where you play as Dan Daly and slaughter the Chinese
Give us a War of 1812 game
Volkstrad
There's always War of Rights, which is a Civil War game.
That would probably be best for a RTS if anything, But I would love it. Or a Mexican-American war game
Aeav8r
https://youtu.be/uCrjP-rhSM0
Kornod
Rising Storm 2
That's Vietnam buddy
vanbarbee
Or any other part of WWII. China, the Romanian Bridgehead, Albania, Yugoslavia, Greece, Norway, Finland, Iran, Sicily...so many options 1/2
Sicily has been done, but those other places would be nice.
Ahh. My Medal of Honor and CoD 2/3/WaW memory is limited. 2 did North Africa which was a nice change.
Yeah no one really has done Greece. Though, China kinda has been done before.
Actually cod 2 the big red one went from Africa to Italy and then to France pretty good game only on consoles unless you emulate it.
olavdeng2
I just want a WW2 game that does it from the perspective of the germans/japanese. Also of the british, feel there isnt enough of those
LaBix
That is because Britain only had a supporting role in the war. You see it was our American cousins who single handedly won it for us.
2/2 yet they always just do D-Day, France, Belgium and Stalingrad.
henevas9
To be fair, they'll likely copy the globetrotting campaign style from Bf1. I bet we get a wide campaign.
Africa
Twiggeh
Finland would be fitting the CoD series tho. plowing through an infinity of ruskies and chopping their supplylines with motti tactics
That'd be kinda harsh for players. Playing on easy would be like playin on elite in MW2.
SwaghettiYologneseWithMemeballs
And the hard mode would have you play as a Russian?
(ofc with the obligatory brief meeting with Simo Häyhä)
LunarWindmill
Or the Australian side of WWII would be really cool. Fighting through the marshes in northern Australasia.
Havok707
From Choco soldiers to Austens and boomerangs, with the obligatory wirraway gunner mission. You get to support a sentinel tank assault.
spidey002
What was that game called? Shell Shock? It did tackle that.

And plenty of dark humor. Also, a guy that's acts crazy to get out of the army but he's not really crazy.
AtomicGhandi
I love you
AwkwardKeming
Which is fitting because he also doesn't get out of the army.
You could have a whole series of side missions where you play as him and do crazy things.
Being a dolt I don't know what sort of terrain the Korean War was, if it was all hills that would not be that fun
ParaMachina
My bf who was stationed at camp Casey and also trained in Dragon Valley agrees with you.
Mostly hills, Korea is very mountainous. Given the size of a CoD map though, you could still get plenty of flat/urban stuff in.
tetter99
Most of the war was just sitting and waiting for a truce, and than having no conclusive and satisfying end to the war. No good campaign
ArcanianWarrior
A good campaign mission could be operation chromite
DavidBrooker
The Onion's take: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePv7ZdWVjY4
ImADouchebag
Except for, you know, the seesaw battles across all of fucking Korea that almost saw a complete victory for both sides at one time.
Three years were waiting for a truce and just small scale stuff like taking a better position on a hill. Plus retreating isn't fun
So, Destiny?
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
They could also.. you know.. make shit up themselves.
TheFiscus
You should let my Grandfather know what maybe the bits of his lower intestine he left there will come back since it was just sitting around,
Most of the war. He could have lost it in the exciting bit, or shitting it out cause of bad Korean food in the boring bit.
Weird thing is he said he liked the food I guess anything was better than what the army was feeding them at the time.
There were a few offensives that could be done, Chinese offensive and Chosin would be good ones.
Problem is it would all be button prompts cause the Chinese liked to get melee close, Or calling in air strikes, or just a shooting gallery
iotto24
Also the initial U.S. invasion itself, where the U.S. annihilated N. Korea in a lightning offense.
It would be mainly the Busan pocket and the landing at Inchon. Which I would love to see
Inchon landing was boring to, we just landed then a little later fought street to street in Seoul
KlaatuVaradaNicto
Seriously! They have done every other major war or conflict. CoD Y U No Korea !?
It could be because they don't want to inflame tensions in a conflict that is technically still ongoing. It'd be banned in Korea
Actually that's pretty true one could argue that the Korean War is still going on because the only thing ever signed was a ceasefire
That's the way the US, NK, and SK see it. Probably China as well. The US is afraid that China might annex an unstable unified Korea.

There's always War of Rights, which is a Civil War game.
ThoughtfulSatan
That would probably be best for a RTS if anything, But I would love it. Or a Mexican-American war game

Rising Storm 2
ThoughtfulSatan
That's Vietnam buddy
vanbarbee
Or any other part of WWII. China, the Romanian Bridgehead, Albania, Yugoslavia, Greece, Norway, Finland, Iran, Sicily...so many options 1/2
ThoughtfulSatan
Sicily has been done, but those other places would be nice.
vanbarbee
Ahh. My Medal of Honor and CoD 2/3/WaW memory is limited. 2 did North Africa which was a nice change.
ThoughtfulSatan
Yeah no one really has done Greece. Though, China kinda has been done before.
Freaknik48
Actually cod 2 the big red one went from Africa to Italy and then to France pretty good game only on consoles unless you emulate it.
olavdeng2
I just want a WW2 game that does it from the perspective of the germans/japanese. Also of the british, feel there isnt enough of those
LaBix
That is because Britain only had a supporting role in the war. You see it was our American cousins who single handedly won it for us.
vanbarbee
2/2 yet they always just do D-Day, France, Belgium and Stalingrad.

To be fair, they'll likely copy the globetrotting campaign style from Bf1. I bet we get a wide campaign.

Africa

Finland would be fitting the CoD series tho. plowing through an infinity of ruskies and chopping their supplylines with motti tactics
Paasimus
That'd be kinda harsh for players. Playing on easy would be like playin on elite in MW2.
SwaghettiYologneseWithMemeballs
And the hard mode would have you play as a Russian?
Twiggeh
(ofc with the obligatory brief meeting with Simo Häyhä)
LunarWindmill
Or the Australian side of WWII would be really cool. Fighting through the marshes in northern Australasia.
Havok707
From Choco soldiers to Austens and boomerangs, with the obligatory wirraway gunner mission. You get to support a sentinel tank assault.
spidey002
What was that game called? Shell Shock? It did tackle that.
Slashenaar
Ok this, but you work in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, -they could even have a catchy acronym for it- with a wise-cracking crackerjack Dr

StandardDeviant
Combine it with Surgeon Simulator
BigTex1
And plenty of dark humor. Also, a guy that's acts crazy to get out of the army but he's not really crazy.
AtomicGhandi
I love you
AwkwardKeming
Which is fitting because he also doesn't get out of the army.
BigTex1
You could have a whole series of side missions where you play as him and do crazy things.
SuperRockinMrMagic
Being a dolt I don't know what sort of terrain the Korean War was, if it was all hills that would not be that fun
ParaMachina
My bf who was stationed at camp Casey and also trained in Dragon Valley agrees with you.
vanbarbee
Mostly hills, Korea is very mountainous. Given the size of a CoD map though, you could still get plenty of flat/urban stuff in.
tetter99
Most of the war was just sitting and waiting for a truce, and than having no conclusive and satisfying end to the war. No good campaign
ArcanianWarrior
A good campaign mission could be operation chromite
DavidBrooker
The Onion's take: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePv7ZdWVjY4
ImADouchebag
Except for, you know, the seesaw battles across all of fucking Korea that almost saw a complete victory for both sides at one time.
tetter99
Three years were waiting for a truce and just small scale stuff like taking a better position on a hill. Plus retreating isn't fun
SmellOfMonkey
So, Destiny?
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
They could also.. you know.. make shit up themselves.
TheFiscus
You should let my Grandfather know what maybe the bits of his lower intestine he left there will come back since it was just sitting around,
tetter99
Most of the war. He could have lost it in the exciting bit, or shitting it out cause of bad Korean food in the boring bit.
TheFiscus
Weird thing is he said he liked the food I guess anything was better than what the army was feeding them at the time.
ThoughtfulSatan
There were a few offensives that could be done, Chinese offensive and Chosin would be good ones.
tetter99
Problem is it would all be button prompts cause the Chinese liked to get melee close, Or calling in air strikes, or just a shooting gallery
iotto24
Also the initial U.S. invasion itself, where the U.S. annihilated N. Korea in a lightning offense.
ThoughtfulSatan
It would be mainly the Busan pocket and the landing at Inchon. Which I would love to see
tetter99
Inchon landing was boring to, we just landed then a little later fought street to street in Seoul
KlaatuVaradaNicto
Seriously! They have done every other major war or conflict. CoD Y U No Korea !?
shimmernshine
It could be because they don't want to inflame tensions in a conflict that is technically still ongoing. It'd be banned in Korea
ArcanianWarrior
Actually that's pretty true one could argue that the Korean War is still going on because the only thing ever signed was a ceasefire
shimmernshine
That's the way the US, NK, and SK see it. Probably China as well. The US is afraid that China might annex an unstable unified Korea.
