I didn't notice any jumpy poo poo, so I'm assuming this one is boots on the ground despite it being the furthest game in the future yet.

Also, there's no Extinction.

I'll just wait on goon consensus for IW and probably get it 6 months later just like I did with blops3. Sucks that 4 won't be sold separate and I'm sure the ebay prices for codes will be absurd

Also, man, is it just me or is Infinity Ward seriously obsessed with the "WE GOT INVADED :gonk:" storyline? It's like 'cause MW2 used it and they so desperately want to be Old Infinity Ward, they gotta basically do the exact same story over and over again with mildly different hats.

Standard right wing delusions of victimization; America never invades, it can only be invaded.

Then add in the contradictory idea that "the invaders can never win", because of The American Will To Freedom™.

Oh, and before anyone brings it up, Iraq 2 wasn't an invasion *inserts standard RWM talking points about WMDs/Liberation from Saddam/Helping Kurds/etc.- It was a necessary war of National defense* :colbert:

Traditional COD is WWII.

If you mean another MODERN WARFARE COD, those will only be remasters from now on. MW2, MW3, BLOPS1 - Activision's riding this gravy train as long as they can.

Until the inevitable TIME TRAVEL COD that this title will lay the groundwork for, of course.



I meant Modern Warfare. I just want to shoot with regular guns again

And also, I get the feeling from watching the trailer of the dogfight in space that they're trying to make another "moment" like the AC-130 mission. Speaking of, what's your guys' favourite COD moment?

The E3 livestream gameplay of Call of Duty 4- the moment Price's CO rises up from the grass in a ghillie suit out of nowhere.

That's when I knew; I had to have that game.
The entire mission is still one of my favourites ever.

I think my favourite CoD story part was when one of the main characters got nuked because I totally wasn't expecting it after an hour or so of him gunghoing through everything.


Favourite mission was the MW ghillie suit one. Also whatever one had the ice base mission that was essentially the exact same thing but creeping around in a blizzard.

I believe I am now no longer in the presence of nice people.


I guess my favorites were the mission where Al-Asad's men/Russian Ultranationalists raided the spot Price and Co killed Al-Asad, leading to a clusterfuck to the LZ, including a Minigun segment, and then The Sins of The Father. Also Mile High Club because it was an actually interesting premise for a level. Game Over, too. That was pretty fun.

Alternatively, the entirety of Modern Warfare 1 with A Bad Year, Infinite Ammo, and/or Cluster Bombs. Bonus points for A Bad Year because it also worked on scripted kills.

Every person that dies blows up into about a couple tires.

This includes scripted deaths, like this. Pardon the sudden edit, this guy sucked at editing back then.

I just wish there was a "A Bad Year For Bad Guys" montage where the main bad guys blew up.
