Call of Duty: The Civil War?

36
From Nothing But Shooters: "In regards to subsequent titles after MW2, it appears that Treyarch's next stab at the franchise may center on the Vietnam War with possible espionage missions based on The Cold War era, and I have previously suggested that Future Warfare would be received well, should it be the decided direction when the series inevitably shifts gears again.

But what about the Civil War? Would this be a viable course for the franchise at some point in the future?"

Agreed.

They need to continue the series to the end of WWII, or set the new games in the Korean War, Vietnam War, Invasion of Panama, or Desert Storm. That would be awesome.

I don't want to see future warfare. And after that I want the Call of Duty series to take a break. Infinity Ward should work on a new IP instead of Call of Duty 8. Treyarch should too. I want a new Infinity Ward game.

Lets all pay 60 bucks for a game in which we stand in line, fire once, then go through a quick time event to reload. WOOT.

1.6 - I've seen movies on the Civil War and to be honest...
The only way they made those movies interesting was with gore and about 12 different camera angles. There is no way that making a COD game in the Civil War era would be fun or at least as fun as the WWII and Modern Warfare games. They need to get their butts to Vietnam.

Why not?

CoD is one of the best war franchises out there and so heading to the Civil War would be cool.

On a sarcastic side note, once they're done with that one, they should out to the gladiator era :D Where I may throw you a rock and you hit me with a stick, along with some spears fighting with the addition of swords and the galloping horses...

and mean huge tigers!

Oh! Oh! Cavemen versus beasts like sabertooths! Build a raft and sail into the ocean, and get swallowed up by the Meg!!

Ok, I'll shut up now :)

Well the standard Union army rifle fired 4 shots per minute so that would not work out too well.

Spanish American war could work but the most efficient gun would be something along the lines of CODWAW's Springfield rifle.

WWI would be the best choice since there were guns like the Thompson and Arisaka around back then so WWI is possible. Not to mention the trench warfare from WWI is badass.

The Korean war could work becuase the tech is almost the same as WWII and it wouldnt be a hard change for Treyarch

can you tell me whats so "badass about trench warfare"? is it the stalemate, the sniperfest or the wait for the inevitable death when your commanding officer orders you to charge?

I agree with everything you said, except for that trench warfare part. Trench warfare was hell, both armies had high losses for very few gains, if any. It makes WWI somewhat boring, mostly when compared to WWII and if a CoD game were to be made about WWI, entrenched battles would most likely be the hardest part to integrate in the game without boring the hell out of the average gamer.

What I want to see is 'Call of Duty: Napoleonic Warfare.' It'd more than likely be dreadful for anyone but a history buff. But as one of them, I'd quite like to run around with a musket, bayonet and a sword. To be fair it'd be far more brutal than the existing CODs. Historical Shooters. Does anyone have any idea what happened to that First World War shooter that was in production? To 'End All Wars' I think it was called.

I never saw any gameplay, screenshots, and no Wikipedia page. It may be vaporware.

@ Freakwave003

Then get into cover behind the guy, and reload for two minutes.

No one wants the Falklands Wars or the Invasion of Panama??

i would actually like to see a game that centered around the age of pirates. one that isn't tactics or strategy styled. just a good deep fun game dealing with the legends and stories of pirates

Call of Duty's gameplay is really cool but it'll get old some time especially if they keep releasing what's basically the same game every year. They should let Infinity Ward make a new IP imo.

12 - Same Old
Why do we continually get shooters that are based on the same thing.
It is either:
WWII, Futuristic or some other similar past War.

Why can't a game CREATE The WAR!

Beside the STORY of these games that may kill a character or blow up a major city................YOU WIN THE WAR!!!!

I want to have a consequence of not being good enough and the other country has taken over my country. If I die 385 times in the same spot in Killzone, COD, Halo, Gears, and on and on and on, I will go back to the checkpoint and continue the same process.

Get past those guys and onto the next waive of guys that I need to beat.

Online you shoot and kill, get killed and do the same F'N S**T.
If I die I should be DEAD!!!!! GAME OVER - Maybe MAG might be good, 100+ on 1 side, 100+ on the other. If you DIE your team is now down 1.
Sounds LIKE WAR!!!!!!!!!!!

12.2 - Killzone 2?
Killzone 2 is the same as any other shooter.

I played the campaign and turned it off after the mission where you see that guy that you have to shoot in the back or something. It's the same old.

Killzone 2 online is the same as what I mentioned, you don't have any consequence for dying.

Played COD4 online for the first time last night. Stopped playing within 4 minutes because it is the same as Killzone 2 online and the same as Goldeneye back in the N64 days. GIVE ME SOMETHING NEW, IT'S 2009.
