Would make sense.

I'd prefer it being made by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer but whatever
I'd kinda like to see Korea before revisiting WW2.
"Back to its roots" is just a marketing term that raises a massive red flag to me
Wouldn't be surprised if they returned to a COD:4 style game where everything was much more simple since that's kind of where they have had the most success. But a WW1/WW2 would be nice.
A CoD4 style shooter set in Korea probably wouldn't be the worst idea, I suppose. After all, CoD4 was actually alright, despite being the effective progenitor of "spunkgargleweewee" as some of us call this particular subgenre.
Though personally, I'd like to see them throw in a few pieces of armour here and there, something to pick up and encourage more "GET IN THERE" gameplay as opposed to hiding and wiping jam off your eyeballs. Maybe a bit more "openness" to the level design too. But that's just me, I guess.
they should just go all in on the future stuff

"Frenk's Back" - Dead Rising 4 before being nuked out of orbit

But then on the other hand you have Resident Evil 7

True true, it goes either ways. It's more a matter of not fucking it up. But HOW you avoid fucking it up varies from game to game.
'cause let's be honest. Dead Rising 4 completely missed the point of what Dead Rising is supposed to be. Time management, intervening at the right moments, learning from the mistakes of the past to do it right in the following timelines.
In a way, Dead Rising 1 has a lot in common with Majora's Mask. Key events happen at specific points throughout the days you spend in the world. You're not going to succeed on the first run-through. You learn from what happened in your previous runs, and have the precious foreknowledge of what to do and when to do it. And, of course, you carry over some of the stuff from your previous adventure. In Majora's Mask it's your items, your masks, the songs you know, etc. And in Dead Rising, the experience gained in previous runs carries over to future ones.
I want to see more games with that form of progression. What's more, I'd like to see it worked into the story, where the protagonist is fully aware of the resetting timeline a'la Groundhog Day.
They're going to go so deep in their roots it's going to end up being single celled organisms fighting over space in a never ending ocean.
I'd rather they continued the Advanced Warfare storyline, but whatever.
I'm just glad that COD doesn't have the influence it had before.
I don't know how many of you remember this, but before the trend for video games was heroes and MOBAs, it was 3rd person sepia toned muscle man military shooters, before that it was modern military shooters, and before that it was WW2 shooters. I don't want to go back to the era of ww2 shooters. They could make a great game with modern tech but I just want one or two, not a shitload of them.
Gotta get that BF1 money.
I knew this would happen, BF1 sets the trend into the wayback machine and everyone else runs back along with it.
Hard to fuck up cod tbh
Although IW managed

And before that was collectathon platformers, and then arena shooters, then point and click adventure games, then text adventures, then pong.
My point is, COD is going back to the roots of all video games, and will be a Pong clone.
When Sledgehammer first formed, they were originally going to make a third person Call of Duty based on the First Special Service Force AKA the Devil's Brigade in Italy. I wonder if they're going to revisit that concept

Advanced Warfare was poorly received, I think more so than even Ghosts. We probably aren't seeing a continuation of that story.
Also good luck to Activision considering Infinite Warfare was practically DOA and they have killed Modern Warfare Remastered with the Supply Crate nonsense that was never supposed to be a part of the game. I'll buy CoD again when it's not a full price $60 title begging me to buy e-currency funbux like a some shitty "free to play" mobile game.
I'd kill for another COD1 with large maps and vehicles like the United Offensive expansion (and also custom map/mod support), but with modern day Activition holding my breath is guaranteed to result in suffocation. I still remember that base assault gamemode being fun as fuck.
A nice WWII Call of Duty campaign with current-gen tech would be pretty nice.

With Resident Evil7, they actually went back to survival horror, with some Nemesis thrown in from what I've seen.
I guess the fact that Dead Rising 4 takes place where 1 did was enough for them to claim "back to its roots".
With the latter in mind, I predict the next Call Of Duty will involve time travel and ruining history via future weapons in WWII.
Good, now Titanfall will be the only successful sci-fi multiplayer game out there. All part of EA's grand design. :magic101:

Nah. Ghosts was hit way harder. It's a pretty solid game honestly. Way more solid than Ghosts could ever be.
While not a massive fan of CoD it would be nice if they released a game that calls back to the days of Finest Hour/Big Red One (minus the console-only part).
Bf1 would be 1000000x better if it was WW2 tbh.
So if Call of Duty gets there first, it can potentially be a big blow.
Thing is, Battlefield 1 was pretty much a World War 2 game wearing the clothes of World War 1. Especially since most of the stuff in Battlefield 1 was from the later years of WW1.

Maybe they'll go even earlier to one-up Battlefield and do a game about the Second Boer War.
I was just thinking the other day how predictable it would be if eventually Activision went back to WWII CoD and called whatever game that was [I]The Call of Duty[/I] or something that skirts having to add a number or subtitle.
This year is Sledgehammer Studios' second game personally, isn't it? They did an admirable job with Advanced Warfare all things considered, so it makes sense that the team that pushed the series ahead (enough so that BO3 and IW both used gameplay mechanics from it tweaked to their own ends) takes it back. I doubt they'd so liberally jump back into WWII, though, there's got to be some sort of catch.
