afaik the MP gore and gibbing was removed/toned down post-WaW due to hardware limitations because of the multiple character models in BO1 and future Treyarch titles. Maybe they'll bring it back for BO4 since it won't be shackled to last-gen versions, but at the same time they probably won't bother since very few people remember or care about it.

Uh, BO3 has loads of bloody violence. Like some of the Specialist weapons gib people. Sometimes limbs fly off, too.

The previous two games didn't have it because of memory issues. WAW gave up weapon camos for it.

Except there was no footage. Just a screen and a bit of the story.

By the way, I think it was Dr. Mengele's sloppy seconds coming to life. I doubt we'll even be a Nazi unless we get edge-y in MP.

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


I was really looking forward to them going back to WWII, but based off that trailer I am less than enthused. It looked so boilerplate.

I agree with the idea that it looks like the COD that made it to Gamecube. I remember enjoying it but even then I knew it was pretty underwhelming.

I don't know why I expected this game to be any different. Sucks they gave this to Sledgehammer, the makers of Advanced Warfare, the lamest COD game I've ever played.

Health Packs for the campaign or does that include multiplayer? A 48 player mode sounds interesting.

The 48-player mode is really a feature that's like the Tower in Destiny/pre-match in H1Z1, so you can dab with your fellow soldiers.

quote:

Everybody I hear from at Sledgehammer talks about taking care over the historical accuracy of World War II, and respecting what that conflict means to us today. As the game spans the full advance from Normandy into Germany, I have to ask if it takes the Nazi death camps as any of its settings.

I don’t get a straight answer, but I don’t get a denial, either.

“This global conflict was rooted in some true atrocities,” says Condrey. “The story is anchored in some iconic moments in the war. The D-Day invasion in Normandy was one of those. There are also other things that make the war so powerful. The historical context of the atrocities of World War II is something that we want to tell the players.”

I press for specifics.

“We’re storytellers,” adds Condrey. “Part of that narrative is having fans really be able to experience that for themselves. We don’t want to get into mass graves or things like that. I don’t want to get into the full narrative arc, but suffice it to say there is a flux in human history because of the power of those atrocities committed and we want to tell the whole story.”
