Next CoD Speculation
- Thread starter LobsterFeng
- Start date
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

That is probably the ONLY thing that they could do to make me truly interested in the series at this point.Wolfram01 said:
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!
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.oZode said:
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.

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.

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.ThatDarnCoyote said:
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

Well Treyarch will likely stay away from anything modern, so any conflict starting at around 1980 isn't going to happen. I'd like to see them do something that doesn't rely on history for a story.
Whatever they do, they've already got a bunch of childish haters hating a game that doesn't even exist. Look at this thread, for example. Kids these days....

What, sitting in trenches, not moving for hours at a time, just picking off any enemy that pokes their dumb head out of cover like a freakin' firing range-Fawxy said:

That DOES sound like a CoD game.
Silent Protagonist is the new recruit of American Elite Special Soldiers with Heroic Figure as their leader, and is sent to Communist Foreign Country to help kill/overthrow Ultranationalist Baddie. Ultranationalist Baddie gets away because Silent Protagonist was caught in an explosive blast, and while he escapes around the world, Different Protagonist from Foreign Country is in the middle of a fight with some Other Foreign Enemies in Different Foreign Country, at the climax of the fight, Different Protagonist uncovers a plot and/or secret weapon about to be used by Ultranationalist Baddie in order to RULE THE WORLD.
Silent Protagonist finds Ultranationalist Baddie while undercover, and with his Hardcore Elite Team they begin blowing up Foreign Soldiers. There is an exciting chase scene, but Ultranationalist Baddie gets away. Meanwhile, Different Protagonist catches up with the Other Foreign Baddie, and after listening to his speech he is shot by The One Bullet and is killed while his friends try to revive him. Back as Silent Protagonist, Other Foreign Baddie is killed after finding out where Ultranationlist Baddie is hiding. They travel further around the world, blowing up famous landmarks until the final showdown with Ultanationalist Baddie. At this point, Heroic Figure turns out to be a Dastardly Traitor and kills Elite Squad Leader.
Everyone is sad and chase down Ultranationalist Baddie, killing him and saving the world. But first they have to stop Dastardly Traitor, for he has decided that he can gain fame and immortality by fighting for those he has killed for the past 2 hours, and Foreign Country accepts this as it is perfectly acceptable. Silent Protagonist fights along side the American Elite Special Soldiers, but they are all eventually shot, and Silent Protagonist is gravely wounded. Dastardly Traitor decides that he has had enough with Silent Protagonist and begins a Lengthy Speech. During, or after, Lengthy Speech, Silent Protagonist kills Dastardly Traitor and escapes from a Top Secret Base while it crumbles and explodes around him.
Or did it? (Cue Sequel)

Pseudo-realism, cinematic sequences and a shouty fanbase. Formulaic current-gen fps at it's most marketable. I know I'm dreaming here, but rather than all of what I stated above. Why not make CoD zany, cel-shaded, and over the top? All this grey seriousness is getting a little outdated.
CoD needs more SCIENCE!!!

It would not surprise me in the least to see the next one simply being called "Call of Duty 2012". Thus cementing Activisions plan to literally just rehash the same game, every year, and slap a $70 price tag on it. (and yes, I mean 70. Kotick has said they'll raise their game prices to 70 because, well, people are stupid enough to pay it)
There's also the possibility it'll be named Call of Duty 9, but I'm doubting it. Blatantly showing the fan base that they've been playing nine versions of the same game might actually force series fatigue.

I remember CoD 2, it had terrible multiplayer but I really loved the single player campaigns. Especially being able to play as the Russians. The game was very much the same with the flashy explosions and on-rails driving scenes which make your mouth drop with the amount of action going on, but it was more interesting to me because they were based off real life battles (Stalingrad, D-Day, Rhine, Alamein, etc).
However, with these new CoD games, they have lost all their charm with their shift to cheap manufactured plots about crazy Russians with nukes and evil government conspiracies.
Maybe it's just me but I loved watching the old school 40's style clips that they played in between missions to give an insight as to what it was really like at war, especially the clip following the Pointe du Hoc mission.

Call of Duty: Time Traveling Space Nazis
A bunch of Nazi's were cryogenically frozen, only to be woken up by the Russians to achieve their goals of colonizing Saturn before the Americans do. And every ship the Americans send over to Jupiter is mysteriously attacked by a rogue group of terrorists, who are actually under the employ of the Russians. Fueled by a desire to uncover the truth (as well as avenge a lost puppy) they send out Commander Puffinfresh and a squad to investigate, whereupon they uncover the Frozen Space Nazi's, who wake up and attack them. After the Nazi attack, the Russians launch another attack at The United State of Every America (by this point Canada, Mexico, and the entire South American Continent have realized how awesome America is and asked to join) and pinned behind enemy lines, it's up to Puffinfresh's squad to defeat the Nazi Russian Terrorist Army High Command
