Looks graphically impressive. That's it.

I can't wait for all modern FPS shooter clichés to be applied to WWII and see the MLG's winning the Battle of the Bulge by bunny hopping like crazy.

Have there been any good COD games in the last few years? I quit trying after Black Ops or MW2. Way too twitchy.

Looks good to me, I prefer WWII to modern day anyway.

Yawn, gave up all these games. Real life right now is getting tough enough to deal with. Ready to give up the job and go. All armed and ready.
No need to simulate what was, real life is where its at. Been punished long enough, ready to go.

Usually COD have good single player stories (except the last 2-3 with future stock)
I wont preorder it but I look forward to it, I've been missing WW2 theme games.

Pretty sure the next Battlefield will also be WW2, wich will be great(if they dont dumb it down further......).

My BS-Meter just broke it's needle... I'd love to have a Brothers in Arms game with those visuals however.

I have to say from watching the cutsccenes and gameplay of BF1 it seems that Dice these days has a much better handle on how to tell a war story.

Will the single player campaign last longer than 4 hours?

This is actually the only game on my radar for this year. Well, except Red Dead Redemption 2. I grew tired of COD games years ago. Here's hoping this WW2 game does not have thier stupid "perks" , double jump, see through walls etc.

I hate the future crap too. Too fast, too shallow, too plastic, to ridiculous, too obnoxious, too unrealistic, seems to cultivate a reprobate spirit within youngsters, fosters bad online attitudes, diminishes manners and manages to consistently paint unrealistic and sometimes disrespectful character studies of what the real heroes are and were. I barely touched MW3 as I got bored after an hour or so and I barely touched Advanced Warfare. There's not enough content and quality anymore as of late with these to justify yearly 60 dollar games that have failed to capture what the original WW2 ones did and the first Modern Warfare. I did like Black Ops a whole lot but hated BO2 because it went future tech and dumb.

It may be good and I hope they do a good job with the main campaign story and characters but it feels like some of the same ol' stuff will be repeated. I hope not. I hate the Zombie crap too. Now I like historical fiction fantasy so if they made as separate mini-campaign where you are fighting Nazi super soldier hybrids in Antarctica at base 211 or even better, a creepy and serious, more realistic treatment of a whole campaign set during Operation Highjump then I'm okay with that. biggrin

But all things considered, I'd rather have another Brothers in Arms!

The future content has nothing to do with the bad attitudes online. Online gaming attracts a very obnoxious personality type.

The internet and online interactions more often than not brings up the worst of the human condition. COD-type multiplayer games seem to exponentiate that. I've had a precious few good online matches with folks like TopGun, bisher, Magnum and a few others but most every time I attempt to enjoy the mp I don't because of loud, profane reprobates and the future stuff for me is uninteresting and makes something already fast-paced all the more chaotic an unapproachable. I'm ready to see COD make an effort to do something new and meaningful and not rehash the same tired formulas that get pushed out on an almost yearly basis. Time for something new and fresh. I'd like to see them put all those resources into a single player campaign only. Let someone else do mp for awhile. I suppose they'd loose money though. Either way maybe there's a chance them going back to WW2 is a sign that they are also going back to the original's treatment. It doesn't really look like it with what little they've shown but maybe that will change with the more info they release.
