[QUOTE=Super Muffin;44701629]Why didn't they just call it Call of Duty Atlas.
It's the name of the corporation and it just sounds better imo.
Somebody doesn't understand the second half of "supply and demand." The game may not fit your tastes, but it does fit a lot of people.[/QUOTE]
Unfortunately this is true. Game Theory did a video on that I believe, actually. The best section of gamers, sadly isn't the biggest.

that's treading worryingly into unironic master race territory
gross
can we just agree that call of duty is ok but we hate the fanbase?

No, we can't. Call of Duty is not okay [b] anymore [/b] but was in the past, now its just a massive joke and cash in and the only people buying these games are under age gamers who have not developed a taste for video games.

Fuck it, at least they ripped off the good parts of BO2, particularly the tech design.
I have never liked the "Modern" theme of gaming at all. Anything set in near-current times. Its boring. Its bland. We see that stuff already. Whoopdefreakingdoo. I dont play a game to see pseudo-Americans fighting pseudo-Chinese and pseudo-Russians for Oil in a pseudo-Middle-East.
I play a game to escape from real life and how utterly mundane and boring it is. I play a game to play with my own imagination. I play a game to believe that things can be "better", be that such as awesome Sci-Fi technology or magic in a Fantasy setting, Psionics, Space-Travel and Monsters and Orcs.
I am pleased to see a more Sci-Fi focused approach this time. I've never bought a CoD game, ever, for the very reason that it focuses too much on stuff we already know and see, particularly how WW2 has been utterly done to death in a million different games. Perhaps this one will be worthy of a download, because I am actually one of the few people who care about the Singleplayer. Maybe they will deliver an interesting story. Maybe they wont. Time will tell.
But I still hate the premise that because its a Call-of-Duty game, it will attract a similar crowd to its predecessors and likely be designed in favor of them, rather than attempting to stretch its own boundaries or attempt anything 'groundbreaking' or 'new'.
I still hate the fact that despite Neosteel Tritanichorium Dal-nanoflex Armor and Polythyelene Fibre Barriers, 30 years training as Super-Soldier-Elite-Psionics-Badass program and more individually personally confirmed kills than Hitler, these Soldiers will inevitably still instantly die to a randomly thrown knife that somehow penetrates all armor from 50 miles away.
I would fucking murder for some black operation type shit in WW2. Kinda like the intro to bad company 2.
call of duty 6 : school shooter
based on a new american theater of war more realistic than any we've imagined before
Spacey reminds me of Bob Page here
So CoD meets MGS/CATWS meets Titanfall meets Crysis meets Elysium?
Looks kinda cool but it'll still probably be the same shit.

[I]like MGS/CATWS meets Titanfall meets Crysis meets Elysium with guns[/I]
I don't see this working. I mean a futuristic setting has a lot of potential as of fun gadgets like rocket boots that make you jump high (as you can see in the trailer) and such, but CoD being an inredibly linear corridor shooter won't put it to use. I'm guessing there will be a short 5 minute sequence of you using some gadget in a level made just for the use of said gadget, which essentially means it will be a boring gimmick.
Now if you could use various gadgets to approach bigger, more open level in your own, not pre-defined way, that would be awesome. But CoD has never done that before, and I don't see it happening.
If this was Treyarch I'd have some more hope, since their CoD's have honestly been good. A bit stale, as the whole series is, but nontheless taking risks which while technically small still are refreshing compared to what the other CoD devs do, which means basically nothing.
I have to say though the villain, or I suppose that's who the guy in the trailer is, seems interesting. Now that I think of it the villains in CoD, while sometimes cheesy and/or stereotypical were usually enjoyable.
I can't wait to do my favorite things again.
Like: Planting C4 on a wall, holding a position until reinforcements arrive, running through an exploding building and jumping to a helicopter, fast paced car shooting scene and the good ol' "I'll take the guy on the left you take the one on the right".
Call of Duty: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Though I suppose it wouldn't hurt to see a slightly different twist on the PMC story. Perhaps I'll watch this game on YouTube.
Is this the sequel to House of Cards?
Hey y the fuck do we care about cod if we all hate it here
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;44702204]Have hoverbikes with glowing stuff under it, still use quadcopters and helicopters with rotors.[/QUOTE]
You might think that a motorbike might weigh less than a helicopter and be able to use this anti-gravity stuff.
IMFDB is going to have a field day with this.
[QUOTE=Griffster26;44702265]IMFDB is going to have a field day with this.[/QUOTE]
I like it best on IMFDB when they whine about how magazines don't have modelled bullets in or how the minigun in Black Ops 2 doesn't have a handle where the characters hand goes.
Eh, I don't really mind Call of Duty all that much. Whilst the first two games are obviously superior, and my favourite FPSes of all time, I'll pick up a more modern one every couple of years because they're a decent time-wasting arcade shooter.
The trailer looked cool.

call of duty gets a lot of shit but this one looks pretty cool, maybe it'll actually be a different game this time mp-wise

You complain way too much for someone that never bought one cod
[QUOTE=latin_geek;44701321]Advanced Warfare looks super good. It's an obvious response to Titanfall, it's got exoskeletons that remind me of that new tom cruise movie, and it's everything I want from CoD: more mobility, more crazy weapon shiz, more and better setpieces in the singleplayer.
I'm looking forward to it, 100%.[/QUOTE]
True that, I'll admit. Mobility and fun guns are important for a shooter. I mean, look at Painkiller with its bunnyhopping and shuriken-lightning gun with flaming tits. Look at stuff like Quake Live. Look at Shadow Warrior.
They're doing some parts right, that I shall concede, though I have my suspicions that they might forget other important factors like having a more survivalist health system and more open levels. Let's hope the world of Advanced Warfare has energy shields by this point in the style of Borderlands and BInfinite, and if they actually do have building scaling and super-jumps they'd definitely need things to be open to make the most of all the fancy stuffs. So yes, they've done one thing right by getting my hopes up that these games won't be such tripe anymore.
Also Kevin Spacey invading the US with a PMC is not something I was expecting. Tbh I was half-expecting a Sino-Russian military coalition like an alt-universe Red Dawn/Red Alert/World in Conflict.
