Next CoD Speculation

[synulia]

It'll be grey, have something to do with the military, and never, ever, eeeeeeeever wind up on my shelf.

Maybe instead of Russians taking over the world, it will be Russians taking over the UNIVERSE! But, the tricky part will be to get the new alien planets to have the same brown and gray color scheme as CoD's earth.

For chrissakes, CoD games have color. Jesus, I don't even like the games, but I'm so sick of this criticism. Fallout 3 had no color, it was brown, why don't you get on its ass. CoD games have color.

 

[DalekJaas]

I really, really want Treyarch to bring it back to WW2 but with an epic IW style campaign. World at War had such good, smooth multiplayer and the WW2 style just looks so good!

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

They should make a game about the first world war. Because I can never remember what the hell happened in that one, even though it was a really big deal at the time.

 

[General Vengeance]

Same shit different pile.

However, Fanboys will now get the power to scream into their mikes to point out that your a useless noob. (Oh wait)

Simple, because Fallout 3 is an amazingly immersive, amazingly designed game with a vast open world, a shitload to do, and an aesthetic involving a creative blending of 50s culture with futuristic things. So I can excuse the tasteless colour pallet.

CoD on the other hand is a linear, cover based game where I cant aim my lumping gun without jamming the iron sights in my lumping face, that centers around the military, the most booooooring subject for a game EVER.
Yeah, I know there's multiplayer, I don't give a lump

I know that both games look like shit, but if it's a choice between awesome game that looks like shit, and boring game (for me) that looks like shit, I know what I'm taking.

Honestly?

Black Ops 2. That one ended on a cliffhanger, so there's bound to be sequel, with even more explosions, useless ass teammates, shittier spawning than MW3's, worse balance, lag, OP'd weapons & all the usual shit we've come to expect from COD circa MW2.

 

[Noceus]

I did hear some where that the next COD will have something to do with futuristic warfare.

 

[LiquidSolstice]

It's always hilarious to me how people who like Valve say that all that CoD does is rehash but they don't stop and look at the Valve Process of Making Games:

1. Take Half Life 1 or 2
2. Change the skins
3. Add dialoge (either scary or funny)
4. Sell as a new game
5. Add in hats to trade so no one notices
6. Repeat.

Face it, rehashes are everywhere.

I'm not going to add my speculation because every point I would raise will, in its entirety, be addressed with an insult (of some kind) or extreme distaste (in some form or another) towards the publisher/developers/fanbase that would result in me being hated, censored and/or sued for libel even though my comments ... damn... hmm...
What I'm trying to say is that I believe my opinions are so heavily opinionated that I couldn't resist insulting or trying to put down anything related, more so than any speculation I could provide and in the event I do share my thoughts it would cause me to come off as being strongly offensive which could cause me, in the most unlikely event, a court-case for damaging sales. My comments... damn this is hard not to actually go into them... Bah, regardless: I can assume that the end result would be one or more of the affiliated groups telling me my comments are wrong and that there are people who like the game and I can't predict the future or something. Hmm, yeah, sure, why not; and while we're at it I can't predict the earth will continue revolving for the duration of this week.

I think CoD is getting so predictable that speculation threads like this are unnecessary unless they're aiming for surreal or ambiguous results.

What I think based on what we all know now

COD Black Ops 2 Of course will come out. I mean BlackOps (IMO) had the best story and of course if you saw all the "Code" stuff on YouTube you'll know that...

Spoiler: BlackOPS Spoiler

Reznov might not be dead

Modern Warfare 1,2,3 story line is done, I mean it should be. I'm a big MW fan but it'll be stupid if they went back again to the same story line. If you ask me if MW4 came out it might go the same route as Ghost Recon Future Soilder is going; Add all the High Tech Foot soilder technology but make the new enemy either some home born American terror group or China (Leaning toward China)

What I want...

What I want, I want a ENTIRE COD game made around the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and Mossad. Think about it... Israel has seen a large amount of conflict (Suez Crisis, 6 day war, First Intifida, the Lebanon War) I mean the entire region is ripe for story, conflict and history.

Tl; DR - BlackOps 2 and Call of Duty: Israeli Conflict

 

[JoesshittyOs]

Can we, the escapist community -just once- have a conversation about CoD that doesn't have over half the threads saying something along the lines of "rehash" or "reskin" or other phrases related to that.

Don't worry. We get it. Everyone on the internet and their mother has heard just about every insult you can throw at it. It's just a more complex "arrow to the knee" meme that you say over and over again. I don't like the "rehashing" the series does any more than you guys do, but there's literally no conversation in this thread besides the two people actually speculating on what it's going to be, and the other two people high fiving each other for relating to the same joke.

I am genuinely curious about the next phase that Call of Duty will have to take unless it wants to doom itself. I think if Treyarch wants to stick in the same vain as Black Ops, they might do something regarding the Afghan war between Russia in the 80's. Black Ops were there, and no clear "right" angle can be made. Though it does pose the risk of yet again falling into the same problem as the last few CoD's have, it's a start.

It will be zombie space nazi communists from the middle east. The shocking moment will involve someone playing Battlefield 3.

 

[Kingpopadopalus]

I GOT IT! instead of WWII or the future or the present. WWI

 

[Smooth Operator]

Same game they were selling for the past five years now called CoD: WaW 2, and then CoD: MW4, CoD: BlOps 2, CoD: MW5, CoD: WaW 3, .... several decades later... CoD: Super Warfare 17

Clairvoyance is an awesome skill to have

 

[remnant_phoenix]

CoD: Future Warfare.

Now with jetpacks!

That is probably the ONLY thing that they could do to make me truly interested in the series at this point.

I loved CoD4: Modern Warfare, but its sequels were rediculous and every FPS and its brother has been ripping off the style of that game since.

CoD4 gave the series and the "military FPS" genre something new and different, and I still hold the original Modern Warfare up as one of the stand-out titles of this generation.

If CoD is going to stay relevant, they need to put a new spin on things. Bring on the Future Warfare!

 

[MercurySteam]

Probably a whole game based around zombies seeing it is treyarch's turn to make a CoD game.

I always enjoyed Zombie Mode, but not enough to make me want to by any of their games. If it came along as a standalone download then I and (I suspect) many others would pay for it.

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

It's Treyarch's turn. I hope they go back to World War II, seeing as CoD: World at War was one of, if not the greatest World War II shooters made in recent memory.

Or it'll be a zombie game, and they're not too bad at the whole zombie thing either.

 

[VoidWanderer]

It might be original...

Then again I might care about the game.

But in all seriousness, I have stopped carrying about cookie-cutter military FPS games. They are about as interesting as Nickelback.

 

[remnant_phoenix]

My guess is Black Ops 2. The Cold War has tons of history that has been largely unexplored in games. A game that covered, say, the late 70's-early 80's period would be cool: defectors in Prague, covert ops in Central and South America, that sort of thing.

If Infinity Ward continues the series, I expect they'll make a game out of "Operation Kingfish", which was referenced in MW3. I remember hearing some rumors that Ghost was going to get his own prequel game, so that might be it.

A Modern Warfare Zero could possibly be good. Assuming that the story was delivered on a comparable level to MW1's, I'd love to play as Captain Price or Gaz in their earlier years, which would likely have them operating during the late Cold War in the 80's. We already got a taste of Modern Warfare prequel with the "All Guillied Up" mission in MW1, and that was arguably the best mission in the game.

 

[laggyteabag]

It will be exactly the same, but with a new maps and a different boring 3-4 hour campaign.

EDIT - Oh yeah, i forgot, there might actually be a new gun or character but dont get your hopes up, this is a CoD game remember, and they hate change
