For the first time since CoD4... CoD looks really cool

Im actually enticed by this trailer. This CoD actually looks like it might be a bit different for once.

Different yes, same graphics engine since 2007, also yes.

I wasn't aware that previous Call of Duty games had branching storylines and RTS sequences.

I also forgot when older Call of Duty games let you ride horses or fly a VTOL.

BLOPSII makes it really easy to see who bltches about COD without even knowing anything about it.

Since 2003.

Or 1999 if you count the first game using it lol

when it comes to marketing trailer, activison the best in the industry. None of the BO1, MW1-3 looked less impressive, until you start playing it.

Same graphics engine since 2003. Not improved all that much since 2005.

Will the never-ending series of CoD, MW, and BF ever end? NOPE! Not as long as people keep buying them by the 100's of thousands. I finally stopped at CoD 2, BF2, and MW4. As many as they have released in each series, I can't see where they can possibly add anything new gameplay wise. So to expect something groundbreaking from any of these is somewhat naive. slabber44

It's funny because Bad Company 2 and now BLOPSII add something new gameplay wise.

If you count zombies and campaign coop - WaW was pretty damn innovative back in 2008. And BLOPS was the pinnacle of RPG elements in a multiplayer shooter.

I Think that has to do with the fact that it doesn't look like CoD.

I thought the mechs and stuff make the game look terrible.. And I woulda used CGI for the trailer instead of gameplay, with THOSE graphics.

rofl they put 4 legs in a tank and make "futuristic" military uniforms instead of "modern" time uniforms and people go "OMGADZ its a new cod"

well i guess its understandable, there has been so little change over every cod that this may seem the ultimate change for some people, i will wait and laugh when it comes out and its the same engine with same mechanics in different uniform.

The only good Call of Duty is #2. The game isn't even worth talking about :P

Meh. Activision is Tony Hawking the COD series big time. I give them one or two more iterations before the series falls into oblivion and they find some other burgeoning franchise to destroy.theragu40

Well for one, its not the same deal. Not exactly.

Tony Hawk games were all made by one developer, which inevitably led to games decreasing in quality as time went on and more time and money was necessary to make quality titles. Sort of the same tale for Guitar Hero, except it relied on expensive peripherals, at one point had like 5 other GH games out in one year, and ended up being just like Rock Band, not to mention the lack of flexibility they had in messing with the formula.

CoD has a lot more going for it, especially when you consider how they can make radical changes like CoD4 or, well, BO2 and still call it CoD.

I think that it'll bring nothing interesting or new to CoD and it'll just be a reskinning of the rest of the games. There's just no creativity from them. Nothing that makes me think "wow I really want to try that out".

Personally I think after MW2 and the IW split, Treyarch is the company responsible for the better CoD games. They aren't busy doing sidework like before with WaW and 3 (which made them less then stellar), and they seem the most interested in fleshing out unique ideas or concepts. IW just has a "if it aint broke, don't fix it mentality" and all they do is add and polish what they had before instead of innovating.

Black Ops was fun and a step in the right direction. The gun customization was maybe a bit TOO cartoony (smily face dot sights?), and the polish isn't nearly on the level of IW titles in terms of smooth performance, graphics and hit boxes, but I think that's really the only thing holding them back when they try to innovate and make the series fresh and unique again.

I'm not saying they revolutionized Call of Duty yet like CoD4 did or anything, but so far its looking like it just based on what we can expect from single player. Really the only thing holding it back is the tech, and hopefully the game looks better when it releases.

I don't feel the same way but that's an awesome feeling I would imagine. COD4 was the last, and best Modern Warfare COD game.Elann2008

Anyone else sick of the "COD sucks" circlejerk?SteverXIII

I fail to understand how people can looove Call of Duty 4, but somehow not enjoy Modern Warfare 2 at all.

[QUOTE="Phoenix534"]

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] You really think that? It'll be the same old CoD just with a different skin over it. SPYDER0416

I'll keep my eye on it. It *could* be fun. We'll see.

After MW3 though, I'm never getting a CoD on anything but the PC again. They may be built for the consoles but they are a lot more fun on the PC.

I don't really like COD4 but MW2 is the most frustrating multiplayer experience ever.

There is no balance, the sky is full of threats, the interface and sound design are a mess and the only map I was able to learn is Afghan.

You know there's something terribly wrong when you can noobtube Flag A from the spawning point until you get a nuke and win the game.
