    Man, these screen shots and trailer must be from an OLD build because, based on them, the game looks like butt by 2012 standards.

    I think this shows Activision is possibly starting to listen to people who are getting tired of the constant, run of the mill shooter. I really wanted to see a Call of Duty that played like black ops in a modern/future warfare environment and its gonna happen :)

    This sounds good to me, especially that Strike Force business. Hopefully it delivers.

Snooty Battlefield Fan: I say, another game from those GayArch fellows, bah! Surely D.I.C.E. will make soomething better! BroGamer: WHOOOOO! WHOOOOOOOO! WHOOOOO!

    I have my problems, believe me. I'm just saying these are the most typical responses that come up.

    Which do you fall under then?

  • evan-pretzer - May 2, 2012 9:28 p.m.

    Normal, I enjoy games of all stripes. What matters to me, first and foremost, is that I am entertained.

    I think he got you there Ev, but were just picking on ya. =)

    I'm a huge COD fan and Black Ops was my 2nd favorite right behind COD4 but this looks and sounds terrible to me. I hate futuristic stuff because their vision of the future is always overly exaggerated and unrealistic. 13 years from now it's gonna be 90% the same as it is now, hell most guns that are still used today where made between the 40's and 60's. I don't wanna command a squad and tell them to go, hold, etc.. seems like a lazy way to cut on AI and just have the player do it. Drones and unrealistic/non-practical walking tanks 13 years from now? seriously doubt it. Also, Why are they turning COD into an RPG wannabe with branching outcomes and decisions? nobody even cares about the single player. The only thing that sounds good about this game is that the story was written by the Dark Knight and Batman Begins co-writer.

  • TheHowetzer - May 2, 2012 7:32 a.m.

    OK wait. I was reading this and was following you just fine, right up to the end man.... you say, "Also, Why are they turning COD into an RPG wannabe with branching outcomes and decisions? nobody even cares about the single player." To me this is you saying that no one cares about the single player portion of the game, including the story right? OK, but then your very next sentence is, "The only thing that sounds good about this game is that the story was written by the Dark Knight and Batman Begins co-writer" Which is saying like the exact opposite of your previous sentence is it not? That the only redeeming quality of this game you feel is going to be the story.....So which is it man? You care about the story and you feel it's gunna rock because the guy who co-wrote Dark-knight wrote it....OR that you're pissed because they are trying to pretend people give a shit about the shitty story?

  • spideralex90 - May 1, 2012 10:41 p.m.

    If they are actually giving it new life I may check it out. Big maybe though.

  • P_H_U_Z_Z_Y_____ - May 1, 2012 10:37 p.m.

    so far im very pleased. I haven't bought a call of duty since World at War, but i might have to change that soon

  • ThatGamerDude - May 1, 2012 10:29 p.m.

    And yet people will still find some way to hate it... All of these changes and additions are very welcoming to me however there will still be people out there that'll still completely bash the game just because it has the phrase "Call of Duty" on it.

  • S.Darkn3ss - May 1, 2012 10:47 p.m.

    I'm not gonna bash it because it's Call of Duty, but because it jumps forward from Vietnam to Ghost Recon. I thought the first Black Ops was the best Call of Duty (Yeah, I know I'm retarded). Black Ops was different, it went into a period of history that no other game had touched & did a hell of a job with it. Treyarch could have picked a much better time period other than the "future". Expand on the Cold War? Gulf War maybe? Who gives a fuck if Infinity War is in "Modern" era in Call of Duty? The series is being milked dry & it's about high time that it got put out of it's misery.

  • S.Darkn3ss - May 1, 2012 10:49 p.m.

    Ward- Sorry, typo.

  • TheHowetzer - May 2, 2012 7:34 a.m.

    Yeah I wanna see some crazy COD shits on the war of 1812 yO! An amazing period of history that has not been covered too well in the video game genre I think....perhaps they can show the writing of the Star Spangled Banner as an easter egg??

  • TheGuy0526 - May 2, 2012 8:10 p.m.

    I'm thinking along the lines of 'Call of Duty: Medieval warfare'. How about that shit, eh?
