Ben-DutkaEven FPS developers are looking to implement deeper and more professionally produced storylines into their games.
We know the Call of Duty responsibility has switched back to Treyarch and we also know they're abandoning the traditional World War II setting. The fans have asked for something new and Infinity Ward certainly cashed in with their Modern Warfare concept. We're not sure where the next CoD will take place but the hot rumor is that it will involve Vietnam, and according to "reliable sources" found by PlanetXbox360 , the new entry "will focus heavily on the story, specifically the struggles of each individual person in your squadron." One source says to expect a pacing and style found in certain Vietnam movies like "Platoon" and "Apocalypse Now," which is probably a good idea given the current direction of the industry. And besides, because most everyone knows these games are all about the multiplayer, it's good to see the developer still intends to provide us with a worthy single-player experience.
We're sure to see more info on the new Call of Duty – scheduled to arrive late next year; it's like an annual schedule now – within the next few months. But I like the idea of a heavy story…provided they don't take the standard film route and choose to lecture. Let's keep that annoying trait in Hollywood, shall we?
I'm bored of CoD to be honest. The games are ok for the first 2 or 3 weeks, but then the story is complete, and only online is left and that gets very old very quick. Doubt I'll get this one :/
vietnam??? really??? it isnt too much different than a WWII setting, im starting to think these treyarch guys are old because when u move from WWII to vietnam…..it isnt really a big difference…i was hoping for a real modern setting…maybe the middle east or even south america (drug wars)
What about the event in Somalia?
That would be nice too.
Racist!!!!!
meh, id like to see a new game with the structure and layout of operation flash point dragon rising.
i really enjoyed all the commands you could give your team, and the real scale of the game.
the levels were fu**ing MASSIVE!
only 2 things i hated about the game was.
1 its so freaking hard, you cant really do CQC unless you want to die so you have to take your enemies out at a distance.
but 99.99999999% of the time you have a heavy machiene gun.
its like trying to snipe with a freaking shotgun, not gonna work!
2 again its so freaking hard.
i know its suppose to be a realistic simulator, but for christs sake.
on the easiest difficulty you lie down flat in the grass, with a sniper trying to pick your enemies off but 1 shot and thats it your dead.
and the friendly AI is as dumb as batshit!
make this like DR, but without the insane difficulty and make sure both friendly and enemy AI is smart.
place those pieces together and you will have a really cool game.
O and while there at it, i hope they do another James bond game.
quantum of solace was actually not a bad game, to much emphasis on shoot everything and not enough on the spy stealth side but besides that a good game.
YES, yes, yes to Vietnam,
But make it realistic by adding in Cambodia to the missions, and some of the hushed up "Secret War" in Laos(few of my bud's were in).
And like Smitty above said, some publisher needs to grow a f*cking pair by stepping up & making us "6 Days in Fallujah (sp?)
No zombies this time, please
Zombies were a great add-on! If you don't like it, don't play it. I admit, I thought it would be very lame when I first heard about it. After I played it, I realized that it was very underrated. I think I might like it better than L4D.
I'll wait for the psx review 😉
So, I'm going to assume that IW is going to be limited in DLC for MW2…and it won't expand much beyond the few maps we'll get in less than a year because Activision won't allow MW2 to cut into the next COD big launch…I"m liking these yearly releases less and less.
If they emphasize the story, in the same fashion as CoD 1, United Offensive, and CoD 2 did. And not selling the integrity of that story up the river, by adding in absolutely retarded and unnecessary perks. I might actually buy it.
