So they're rebooting it out something? I'm very confused.
Should we just have a single CoD thread, rather than one per game? This also confuses me. Particularly given only about two of us ever play them (very occasionally me, I started infinite warfare a while back, but such at MP ...)
It's about time they binned the whole exo suit double jumping wall running crap.
Will it be enough to save the franchise? Only time and the beta will tell but I'm interested.
Price returning considering he was the last surviving member at the end of MW3, new game engine, bigger maps and hopefully no battle royale mode.
If they include Blops remastered then I'll throw my money at Activision.
Blackout was by a long way my number 1 gaming experience this gen, so I’ll keep an eye on this, if only because I might end up having to move to it if it has a BR and leaves the current one too empty.
It embarrassing how developers of this medium act. May be they're just given a bigger platform than others but I can't think of a film director embarrassing themselves with such a childish mindset.
Why do we need to pretend COD is realistic? Sure it has accurately modelled weapons, death, innocent casualties, based on real world events etc but it doesn't need to always be classed as, or discussed, as a realistic, dramatic, meaningful, respectful depiction of war.
It's Michael Bay's Transformers and nothing more.

I mean it's worse than that. I've played many an fps and have held my nose at some dialogue etc, but even the tute drill Sargent guy in black out 4 is too much for me. The game is slick as hell, but the in game dialogue is almost chilling to me now.
This new one is supposed to take more effort to be "realistic" so shouldn't be the Michael Bay affair the others have been.
Still the Twitter link is correct. People really wouldnt want to play a game that actually felt like war and devs shouldn't pretend to be offering that when they clearly won't.
Not because it is miss selling a product, I dont particularly care if a racing game is over pumped for example.
More because it glorifies war and in a worse way than the other games in the series.
Sure COD has never been realistic but it wasn't really sold as such. With this title they are saying "Our past games were fun, but this is the real deal", but it isn't.
If they really committed to 'realism', they'd make it a one life game with no restarts. Or, from the 'realistic' injuries you receive in the first engagement on the first level, it should become about you returning to civilian society with PTSD and struggling to reintegrate as the government that put you in your situation in the first place abandons you and your life collapses.
