[url]http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-03-29-this-years-call-of-duty-is-set-in-space-report[/url] [quote]The next Call of Duty will feature a radical departure for the series - it's set in space. 2016's Call of Duty will offer space combat between warring sci-fi groups in the far flung future. Previous entries in the series such as Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 3 have strayed into the near-future, but this year's Call of Duty will be firmly placed in sci-fi territory. First details of the game appeared online over the weekend, from serial industry source Shinobi. The information tallies with reports Eurogamer has independently heard. The game is being developed by Infinity Ward and is not a direct sequel of its previous Call of Duty effort, Ghosts, which received a mixed response.[/quote]
Damn, no Call of Duty: Primal Warfare yet? I want them 360 no-tool kills It's gonna keep going into the future until its setting is so vast into the reaches of time you battle in a white void and killstreaks give you the ability to jump to another dimension. They should just make a Call of Duty Time Panic!!! or something where elements of each of the games are mashed together so I can snipe someone with a scoped 98k while they are in their mobile armor suit.

Which kill streak calls my parents to come pick me up
I can't be the only one that wants to go back to WW2. I'm tired of firing "futuristic" AR and shotguns.

Since the fps genre these days is so homogenized I feel like Halo 5 already fulfills the niche that a space shooter CoD would try to occupy.
Huh, well that's slightly surprising, i was expecting Ghosts 2. Might be cool but it falls into the issue of "Yep, it's COD". I've played the Beta and Free Weekend of Black Ops 3 yet never bothered to actually buy it.
Does "in space" mean on a different planet? Or will it literally be all in the vacuum of space?
If they're going to space, that should make for some interesting stuff. Maybe they're finally gonna go Above and Beyond? (surely that subtitle would print money of its own accord?) But if the studios end up going down the World War 2 route, I want them to go full-on Rocketeer/Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, going hog-wild with 40's superscience. It'd justify having jetpacks, for one, which would in turn promote the notion of better verticality in map design.
if they've just expanded the space mission in Ghosts into a full game with some sci-fi liberties taken for gameplay reasons it could be really cool, like Shattered Horizon probably just gonna go with a Halo ripoff though
Sounds interesting depending on how it shapes up this might be the first Call of Duty game I've decided to buy since 2009.
Please just stop. Holy fuck
Why can't we have a Vietnam-Era cod

To be fair AW was really good and BO3 is also good in other ways, but I hardly trust IW to make a good game anymore.
to be fair, ever since MW3 died out the series is slowly climbing out of the shitpit of lil kiddies who cry about muh realism (heh) and 'cause they can't quickscope no more; through the different layers of bullshit they apply and change over the years the core gunplay is some of the more satisfying out there; AW and BO3 Multiplayers were actually pretty damn good for what they were, if they're smart and release the multiplayer standalone like they did for BO3 I'll pick it up.
Space might actually give them the space to work with something new.
Call of Duty "We cant kill this cash cow franchise for something original" in space
Just let it die, it was uniformly going downhill since CoD4, that's almost 10 years now
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;50027625]Just let it die, it was uniformly going downhill since CoD4, that's almost 10 years now[/QUOTE] The main problem is that Infinity Ward can't make a good game. MW2 had good multiplayer and the campaign was iffy, but the quality of both went down drastically for MW3 and Ghosts. Treyarch's stuff has been solid throughout, and Sledgehammer can apparently make a good game. Black Ops/Advanced Warfare are some of the best CoD games since 4. It hasn't gone uniformly downhill at all though.
True true. We just gotta see if Infinity Ward is no longer so arrogant, and if their new product is up to snuff. But if Infinity Ward does end up getting scrapped, the franchise will need a new studio to fill the void. Because the three-year development cycle, up from the previous two-year cycles, is likely one of the reasons why the post-Ghosts games have actually been kinda decent, since it gives the teams more time to mess around and do interesting stuff. And unless a third studio fills the slot in that scenario, the big wigs might try to bring back the two-year cycle just to keep up the yearly releases.
amazing to think that this game was in its prime when it was based in the WW2 and insurgency era. the point is: lets go call of duty napoleonic wars
is this series eventually just going to loop back around and become halo
Lol at all the people saying they should stop the franchise. It's a fun shooter game that makes the companies who produce them tons of money every time they come out with a new one. Why the hell would they stop making them? If you don't like it, don't support it with your dollars.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;50027776]is this series eventually just going to loop back around and become halo[/QUOTE] eventually they're going to invent a time machine in the Call of Duty universe, to go back and participate in world war 2
I honestly don't understand people still being upset about Call of Duty. The games have been much better since they started the three year development cycle but it feels like people are still stuck in 2011 watching Modern Warfare 3 come out.
Just do the korean war god damnit. You missed it when you went from WW2 > Modern > WW2 > Vietnam > Modern Future > Future > Destiny
[QUOTE=Swilly;50027525]Space might actually give them the space to work with something new.[/QUOTE] But it's call of duty we're talking about. It can't into something new. It's the basic formula that makes CoD a CoD, and that one's pretty restrictive, one wrong step and you lose the target audience. "Playing it safe" is their motto. [QUOTE=Duck M.;50027283]Since the fps genre these days is so homogenized I feel like Halo 5 already fulfills the niche that a space shooter CoD would try to occupy.[/QUOTE] Oh you better believe this next CoD will beat Halo 5 out of that niche as far as commercial side is concerned. One is a dying franchise, the other is gaming's very own iPhone.
