Next CoD Speculation

[-Samurai-]

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....

Call of Skyrim. Guns are now magic little fireball things. Knifes are now daggers, killstreaks usually involve dragons. *awaits internet hatred*

I can't tell if you've just made a combination that will take the awesomness of skyrim and enhance it with the popularity, or if it will turn the awesomness of skyrim into a bland, colourless game re-released every year.

So confusing!

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

Seriously, IDF needs some love. They have fought a large number of recent conflicts that could make a great game.

Since it's Treyarch's turn this year (yay) it'll most likely be Black Ops 2.

However, I would LOVE to see a World War 1-based game. That'd have some serious potential.

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-

...


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!!!

 

[Vigormortis]

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.

Call of Duty: World War Z

 

[Aussie502]

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

Here's for Call of Duty: Napoleon warfare

 

[lRookiel]

Call of duty, prehistoric warfare!

I'd genuinely like to see that..

 

[XMark]

I'd still like to see a COD-style FPS game set in World War II from the Nazi perspective. I doubt it will actually happen, though.

And then a sequel like Ace Attorney where you defend yourself in the Nuremburg trials....

 

[Singularly Datarific]

I think they're going to make a great big WW2 game again and make a huge deal out of how awesome WW2 is and how Modern Warfare is stupid and boring.
Something like that.

 

[Cyrus Hanley]

It's gonna be a sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops set 10 years later following Hudson and Weaver as they attempt to clear their names with the CIA while trying to bring Mason back to sanity.

 

[El_Chubba_Chubba]

I want them to realise that the series is dying, and go all out to create something completely different in a last bid effort to keep the series going, they might aswell.

Many people were thinking about it being in the future, and seeing as MW3 is technically in the near-future with advanced weapon technology, then they need to be set at least 50-100 years later than that.

Then they need jetpacks, naked aliens, time travel, and alien terrorists/nazis.

 

[Rijo]

Call of Duty: Fallout 4 because someone had to push the Red Button by now.

 

[darthotaku]

It'll obviously be a story driven game, about a hero who despises the US capitalist system, and leads a rag tag group of cleverly written individuals in the struggle against the much better funded and trained american troups. in the almost fifty hour epic, taking place over years of game time, our protaginist struggles against all odds, eventually building up a large force and taking over. he is proclaimed the hero of the north american socialist utopia. this then leads into a well thought out and realistic economic simulator where our hero uses cunning government regulatins to elevate the entire world into a peaceful state without ever resorting to violence.
while this all is going on, the gameplay remains completely open ended, and multiplayer is little more than an insignificant add on, in which players spend more time debating the message the developers were trying to put forth, as well as the intricasies of the graphics as they appear to emulate a well done water colour painting, yet switch to an almost cubist or surrealist nature during the more chaotic battles.

 

[synulia]

I thought we were just talking about the color. Again, I don't like CoD, but what you feel about the gameplay is irrelevant. The fact is that the game has color, and that the stereotype of "brown shooters" being the dominant game on the market is just false.
