Is it just me that thinks COD is ‘in the bin’ and needs a massive overhaul to make it enjoyable again? [WAW]
So I have thinking a lot about this recently as I miss the old days of COD, where you actually feel you’re in a war simulation game and not being shot at by fucking Bevus and butthead.
Next proper COD should be a WW2 or WW1 based game, back to its roots boots on the ground, none of this advanced movement bollocks. ( I have fired a reel rifle and it’s sometime hard enough to hit a stationary target never mind a moving one while you’re acting like a rabbit). COD WAW is the best game ever by far. A new one needs to be similar to that in-terms of the music, the sound, the ambiance, bring back proper gore. I Used to think you were getting sent to gulag for losing a game on WAW playing as the Russians it was that intense, that’s how it should be. The multiplayer was so fun with the only issue being lack of kill streaks imho.
A proper campaign where your actions affect the rest of the campaign, for example, depending how quickly you take the beaches at Normandy will determine what reinforcements Germans have later in campaign, and vice versa. Have it from a German side too where you play as the Germans, be dark, have nods to the holocaust where you have to interact at a camp (obviously be respectful and never mock the victims) but do it from an educational perspective. Have different scenarios where you decide what soldier you want to be and the effects that has later in the, be ruthless or show mercy sort of thing. Have tactical sections where you decide yourself how to attack the enemy and the different outcomes that has rather being led through following AI. Could even do like a promotion system in the campaign, how you play it, more kills and ground you cover get promoted and lead, unlock better weapons and kit, while playing worse hinders you and eventually lead to possible cannon fodder sort of thing.
Get rid of skins of actors and cartoon to play in a battle royals. Keep battle royale and make it better, but to keep the micro transactions, you release skins of real war heroes, likes of Desmond doss and ‘Mad’ Jack Charlton. Not just skins though mini campaigns to go along side it, where you play as them heroes. You must complete the campaign to unlock it on certain difficulty, so having the best weapons and camos means something not just who has the biggest wallet. There so many different heroic and epic war stories out there so the content would be endless, plus it would teach people the not just the horrors of war but the history that comes with it.
Have a nazi zombie mode too just for fun. Personally my favourite was WW2 zombies, was different and repayable but understand if people wanted to avoid that.
Sorry for long post just been so fucked off with cod recently and wanted to get my thoughts down. Please feel free to add any other ideas. I’m a big history lover so will love ideas relating to it.
