The Fury character design is pretty anime tbh. The backgrounds still look like Dio albums.

I guess it might work I dunno. I feel like battlefields gameplay has more room to get away with that stuff.

There's absolutely no reason WW2 doesn't work and it has worked great for many games over the years. If they can recapture the spirit of CoD and UO they're going to have a very good game indeed. The landing in CoD was loving incredible at the time.

I'm saying after a decade of making it faster and more high tech and bombastic it might be hard to sell their own fans a WW2 game without making the guns functionally identical to the near future guns they have been doing for a while. Not mention the wall running and double jumping they ripped off from titanfall. I could be wrong it just seems like it would be an uphill battle unless they are willing to make a big departure from where the series has gone.

Even bf1 was really just basically a WW2 game in all but skins/models+gas grenades with everyone running around with full-auto assault rifles and playing like a WW2 game, and that sold well and was fun to play (before being DICEd up) Also bring back bunnyhopping imo

I know it's been done to death but I'm always game for a visually impressive Omaha landing done with whatever the highest level of current game tech will allow. Everything else will just be jingoistic flag wavey whatever anyway, it's a Call of Duty game and there's a Formula. At least in the WW2 setting it seems somewhat more appropriate (it's never really appropriate).

COD has gone through an amazing cycle when you think of it. When Modern Warfare was first being developed everyone was sick to death of WW2 shooters, and now everyone's sick of future shooters and wants to go back to WW2. Seeing some of those set pieces in shiny 2017 graphics is very appealing for me, at least.

I know we all made our peace with occasionally being Nazis in MP WW2 games a long time ago but you know, considering the current moment in history, I feel like that could turn out pretty badly? Like PSN/XBL might want to bring in an army of temps release week to mash those ban buttons.

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. CoD WW2 will sell a lot just because it's a return to BOOTS ON THE GROUND after 3 years of jetpack games. Because I have no idea what MP FPS I will play next year, I am hoping that since Sledgehammer has taken the safest route possible with SP, they're just gonna copy Black Ops 2 MP but with a WW2 setting since that's all the community really wants.

It'll never happen but I would love a return to CoD 2 style MP. I'm loving sick of grinding for guns and attachments. Just lemme use everything I paid for assholes. I loving love BF1 but it's weapon unlock system was heinous. You have to rank up to earn warbonds and you have to rank up each class separately to unlock guns to even buy them with warbonds. Plus each gun costs 200 warbonds and you only earn 90 per level at first. Who the gently caress designed that? And to use the DLC guns you have to complete assignments like getting 20 headshot kills with a lovely SMG. I'm sick of that poo poo.

Yeah the IW single player was fantastic, definitely the best of all the CoD campaigns that I've played. I've learned not to expect too much from the level and encounter design in those games, but I was very pleasantly surprised by how tight a package IW was. Shame about the multiplayer, though.

MysticalMachineGun posted:What was wrong with IW's multiplayer? Pretty sure they introduces gear ratings to weapons e.g. uncommon, epic, legendary. Legendary versions of weapons have different bonuses like infinite range. To get good versions of guns you either have to buy gear boxes which also contain gun camos and attachments. You can earn keys to unlock the boxes but you earn keys slowly. Or you can craft them with salvage. You earn like 10 salvage in a 10 minute game. An epic version of a gun costs 6900 salvage. You can see the issue. Now they may have changed this but it basically comes down to either poopsocking the game or spending money. And even if you spend money there's no guarantee you'll even get what you want. It's serious horseshot.

Yeah for sure. It's just a goddamn shame. The MP seems to be picking up this last month though, so hopefully it doesn't depopulate into a cult game where you have to wait 10 minutes for a match anytime soon.

Word was that the hardcore CoD fans hated IW's space and lasers setting so I have to imagine they'd like Titanfall even less. And yeah I think IW MP is not a particularly good game when compared with Titanfall (although the SP is easily on par with TF2's campaign IMO), but its enough of a mess on its own merits with all the loot crate, dual currency, and rare weapon garbage.

Problem with TF2 was it was sandwiched between BF1 and CoD:IW. EA tossed it out to die between the two biggest shooter franchises. It couldn't even benefit from IW being the most tepidly received CoD in ages because BF1 was so well received due to doing something different. If people are truly sick of future shootmans then TF2 has nothing to offer them. It's the reason I chose BF1 over any of the other games.

I'm sick of modern shooters but I'd be interested in things set in the past if it's been overlooked, like WW1 or Korea. Hell even a Vietnam setting isn't as overdone as WW2 or modern shooters. My issue with the CoD style future setting is that it doesn't seem all that different from a modern setting, just with lasers and wall running. Plus something set in reality feels like it has more weight to it. BF1 got me to learn a hell of a lot more on WW1 than I would ever know if it was never made.
