Where Does Call of Duty Go Now?

Will it be headed up by Infinity Ward and be Modern Warfare 3? Will it be handed off to Sledgehammer and be put during another war that has yet to be captured? Or will we end up with space fighting alongside Master Chief and Marcus Fenix hunting aliens? "

The American Civil War. Nothing quite like reloading 15 seconds to fire a single shot from a musket.

[mau64]

Fantastic idea.

[seinfan]

How about it goes away?

[SKUD]

Let the dragging of the cannons begin!.

[irish-leprecaun]

where does cod go now? back to the store i bought it in return for GT5.

[DarkFantasy]

slight of hand pro FTW lower it to 8 seconds LOL

[evrfighter]

actually it more than likely going to follow the battlefield route.

ww2, vietnam, modern warfare, semi-futuristic.

we will wee futuristic warfare not with BFG's but guns that would be plausible weapons we really would be using.

[Zydake]

I bet WW2 or Vietnam -_-

[visualb]

when knifing someone takes a stupid 0.5 seconds

the whole game would be a knife / musket fest

[number47]

How about they just release the same game over again with more bugs? Its a winning formula so far.

Let's see here... In film, when a movie franchise runs out of ideas, the only place left to go is SPACE! COD will probably end up in space as well.

Jason X
Hellraiser 4
Leprechaun 4
Space Buddies(Air Bud movie)

I see a future warfare coming eventually so basically it'll be UT but with the ability to look down your scope and no double jump.

[smashly]

Let's take it to the future and stop visiting old wars.

[mau64]

agree completely

[Quagmire]

Future wars? Where' your time machine, good sir? i believe in a future without wars and violence and-

oh who am I kidding...

[brandynevils]

The series is over for me. It's starting to get stale.

[gamerdude132]

Only starting?

[Xfanboy]

the hood?

[BlmThug]

CoD 4 Was The Only Good Next Gen CoD Title

[thebudgetgamer]

you never played cod 2? that was fun.

[BlmThug]

I Did, I Meant The CoD Titles That Were Made For The Next Gen Titles, CoD 2 Was Made For Last Gen

[newflesh]

Agree with you about CoD4. I just played it today after ignoring it for a year and once again realised how great the game was/is. I remember when MW2 came out, it was very dissapointing, everything was worse, maps, balance, perks, dumb ks, even gfx looked cartoonish in comparision. Black ops is sure better than MW2, but still it sucks when put next to CoD4.

[Falloutxii]

My garbage can.

[gamerdude132]

I'd like to see a WWI shooter since about the only place where you can find a game covering that war is from a Flash game site.

[OtherWhiteMeat]

WW1 shooter would actually be pretty cool.Some hand to hand combat in the trenches would be intense.

[jack_burt0n]

$15 dollar monthly DLC.

[ANeuteredDog]

IN SPACE!

[visualb]

halo?!

[xxchicago33xx]

Agree...this seems to be the obvious next step. Everyone will say they're not going to buy it but it will see 6 million copies on day 1.

[NewsForMe]

Hell

[BX81]

Hell? LOL! They should do a BFBC and COD cross over in Hell!

[Dark_Overlord]

With Kotick as the last boss :D

[BX81]

I didn't want to have to go there, but it looks like I'm going to have to start an international incident for the sake of all gamers. For you I will start a completely new conflict. I'll warm up with some thing super evil, maybe a combination of kotic and game stop?

[StarScream4Ever]

How bout something from the perspective of the opposing force. I always hope of seeing a setting back in WWII (yes I know it's old war) but from the perspective of an Axis soldier.I listened to a former German soldier once, he said when the army march into Poland it was not just moving and kicking down the doors. The Polish give their best fight. And when England and France declared war most of the German populace were silence and worrisome.

They might want to give that a thought.

[Pumbli]

Yeah, my grandfather knew a Wehrmacht field doctor that fled to my country after WWII. The German passed away before I was born but my grandpa used to tell me stories about him. Being a German soldier didn't sound much different from being a British or an American one.

I think it would be kind of awesome to be finally able to play as a German soldier in an FPS. (Even Italian or Japanese)

[Vip3r]

WW1 or Falklands war. Better still a war in space against the Chinese. Fighting there would be interesting and better than the usual Middle East or Russian front.

[Elven6]

Don't look in the history books kids, look at the Hollywood blockbusters! Almost all Call of Duty games have taken more ques from movies than they have reality.

[zackacloud]

world vs Terrorism will be great idea

however COD have become yearly rotein game

they copying already know for next COD on 11-dec-2011 loool

[NBT91]

Away hopefully.

[DarkFantasy]

CALL OF DUTY : Space Marines Rofl... CALL OF DUTY : Future Warfair would probably be the best bet .. only outher thing i can think of is a Online only cod, subscription based of corse.

[newflesh]

I hope it will go away, sadly. Because unfortunately the series got very stale and it's a real shame. The last great COD was 4. MW2 and BloPS were just money grabs with little to no innovation at all. The same is with Halo. I mean if Halo 3 was good, then ODST and Reach did nothing to enrich the experience and were just 60$ map packs. Bungie was smart enough to end the series, better late than too late.

Gameplay wise, and technically it needs to be stripped down and built from bare bones with a modern engine. This franchise is still running on the Quake 3 engine developed in 1999, albeit a heavily modified version, it's still the Quake 3 engine at it's core. Gameplay elements need to be brought up to date, or here's an idea: how about actually setting the bar, like invent something new to the gameplay? Na, that's far too hard. Let's just push as much retarded soldiers into the path of the players gun as we can. Make him a one man army again. Doesn't matter, the kiddies and casual braindeads out there will still buy it. It's a turd nicely wrapped.

Now, it either comes up with something from scratch the next time, or it can fuck off completely for all I care. How this series is selling as well as it is now is beyond me. Nothing new since 2001 as far as gameplay goes and counting.
