What? lol

They only started putting women, blacks, etc on game covers when it became trendy.

They don't care, but they sure as hell want you to think they care.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

Yawn. I think COD WW2 and BFV showed that historic shooters died for a reason.

Huh WW2 was pretty successfull....
BFv on the other hand... just lol

 

[Concern]

It just looks like MW2019 was a one off good game and they're back to pushing out garbage.

Agreed. These days unless you pretend to care you are at risk of being called out or cancelled. Hence the virtue signalling from every company out there. Personally if I were black or homosexual I would be offended by the fact that it’s nothing more than a BS tick box exercise. Just in the same way that employers tell everyone their focus is on wellbeing but don’t actually do anything to help other than get you free access to a mindfulness app.

I stopped buying Laghammers COD games after Advanced Warfare.

Alternate history World War 2.......generic?

Hard to put it into words, but even if it is alternate history WW2, it's trying too hard and ends up looking generic.

Besides, it's Call of Duty. I would err on the side of "generic" most of the time but now we have a super generic image to back it up.

 

[b6a6es]

Hmmmmmmm

 

[scarlet0pimp]

Those pictures look messed up, I was hoping for a sequel to WW2 not an alternate reality. I dont see why they cant release a ww2 game, and cold war game and a modern warfare game every 3 years , that way people who enjoy 1 of those themes can enjoy the game they want for 3 years. They could still have the link to Warzone possibly have warzone maps which link to each CoD theme with weapons limited to the CoD that warzone is based on.

 

[ManaByte]

I think there was a leak before suggesting its sey in an alternate reality where WW2 didnt end in 1945. Hopefully its wacky as shit and the Nazi have contacted aliens and they come down don lugers and gewehrs , wearing compton style gangster attier brapping up the place.

After WWII and then censoring the Nazis I don't have much interest in an Activision WWII game.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

I wonder how many fans will see this as a new opportunity to fuck up Warzone.

 

[IKSTUGA]

Battlefield looks 100 times more interesting this year.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

From the cover I can tell the game is trash. I'm an expert.

 

[Mobilemofo]

World War zzzzzzzzzzz. No more ww2 bullshit. Please. Can only make the game so many times. Shit has gotten real old. Whats the hook this time? We play as actual buildings and collapse ourselves on the enemies?

 

[balls of snow]

If it's alternate reality WWII, then it could work and wouldn't be as dry/dull as the WWII games been when it comes to things like story and weapons.

Yep, steampunk wwii. How hard can it be to be brave and just do something new.

 

[AJUMP23]

WW2 palm trees and bolt action rifles.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

It could be good, don't judge it yet. And there is zero evidence the new Battlefield is any good.

 

[Gravemind]

Looks like the seen the Battlefield V trailer and thought it was a good idea to double down on everything that was hated about it.

 

[recursive]

Looks extremely generic. Even looks like they copied Battlefield V to be honest.

I can already tell it's going to be utter garbage...... but we'll see what the reveal shows us.

You determined that from 2 artwork images, no gameplay video? Reminds me of kids that were sad that the NES cartridge art didn't match the game.

Can't wait to see you ingame.

Serious question: why is there never an Asian guy front and centre? Or an Indian guy?

Not "sexy" enough? Not TRENDY enough!



Blacks are the only ones that exist besides whites! And they only started to exist the last few years when people started complaining enough!

They're not doing it for the diversity dollar, they're doing it because they really care! Cuz the upper management aren't all rich white dudes, SUDDENLY BEHIND THE SCENES THEY ALL BECAME DIVERSE!!! They secretly transformed behind the scenes and became black dudes and white women!

Fuck your transparent bullshit and anybody too stupid to see through it.

For the record I don't actually give two fucks that they're doing this, I don't give two shits about seeing more/less white guys, I just find it so incredibly tacky and fake that they think any of this comes off as genuine. But the people who actually pretend to care about this apparently love condescension and blatant pandering since they're THAT desperate for token representation.

pathetic.gif

Honestly if we are going off latest trends all the characters should be wearing masks and have stickers that say "I am vaxxed."

 

[Black_Stride]

Limited Edition cover:

I knw the its supposedly alternate history WW2 which as a concept I love, but these artworks arent really selling it.

P.S BF2042 is coming out this year I def not buying this but im always curious about what COD does year on year.

 

[Droxcy]

Game is in shambles should just scrap it and put the devs on the mod team for Warzone to tackle the hacker problem.

 

[HTK]

I've skipped Cold War and might be skipping Vanguard as well. Really looking forward to Battlefield and Halo this year.

 

[MiguelItUp]

The last COD was enough for me to take a break from the series again, I don't see this one bringing me back. But I'd be willing to give it chance to do so. Even though these images look pretty.... bland.

Also with how big the game files have been it's almost an immediate turn off.

 

[Shubh_C63]

WW2 palm trees and bolt action rifles.

Don't forget fortunate son.

 

[AJUMP23]

Don't forget fortunate son.

Well there are plenty of Palm trees in WW2 pacific theater, it just isn't what comes to mind when you think of WW2. In fact the most intense and hardest fighting were in battles like Pelelu on the small islands.

 

[supernova8]

Can't wait to see you ingame.

Heh there's been an extremely high bar for me bothering to buy COD games after MW2. I doubt you'll see me in-game unless they really put off a miracle.

 

[RyRy93]

Every time a new COD and BF release in the same year: COD/BF looks more interesting than COD/BF

And every time both are massively flawed in some way and it's been that way for over a decade.

 

[Salz01]

With the wind mill in the background, looks like it might have a level or two in Europe. Which is good. Then Africa and Pacific. I’m in for an alternate WW2 scenario.

 

[decisions]

It just looks like MW2019 was a one off good game and they're back to pushing out garbage.

Hopefully IW will come back strong next year. Cold War was a really rough game that felt like a huge regression.

 

[Allforce]

Well apparently it's on the MW2019 engine so I'm intrigued. That game got me back into CoD and then Cold War (while still fun at times) left a bad taste in my mouth so I'm excited to see how they do this and how it feels to play.

Shipment 1942 LETS GOOOOO

 

[WitchHunter]

Finally, another COD game. Can't wait to buy this one.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

 

[Data Ghost]

Agreed, I am only interested in MW2019 quality and in a modern setting. Cold War barely ran on my Series X with all of its console crashing bugs, and WW2 does nothing for me whatsoever (even with woke inclusiveness).

Basically Warzone may be my go to COD fix or the foreseeable future which is superb because A) Its free, and B) I don't buy any of the skins cr@p.

 

[manfestival]

Can't wait to not purchase this.

 

[ANDS]

If it is set in an alternate history, would actually play this. The POLINA character design looks pretty cool. Also glad to see "Females in the game. . .WOOOOOOKE!" energy is still potent. Doing gahds work folks.

 

[splattered]

Hmmmmmmm

Ehhh i dunno. For Sony to delay their events multiple times through the year just because they want to be able to show a shitty WWII COD i find hard to believe. That would mean that Sony doesn't really have anything huge of their own to show and are relying on 3rd party reveals to generate hype.

Would make sense if its the biggest thing they have to show tho. Considering we've heard absolutely nothing by now on any new games, I wouldn't be surprised.

But all we can do is wait and see if they confirm or deny the rumored event soon.

 

[Fake]

As much I like WW2, 'an alternative WW2' is not my taste.

If the Open Beta is free, will glad take a chance.

 

[Markio128]

I think some of you guys are too quick to dismiss this one. It could be fun, who knows?

 

[OrtizTwelve]

The game is supposed to have a pacific setting during WW2 (palm trees in the background) but the soldiers pictured here are wearing winter clothing akin to what the Russians wore in cold weather environments. I know it’s just a cover but none of this makes sense, at least people who know history.

Looks like it will be some sort of “alternate reality” of events during WW2 which means we can expect a lot of nonsense and political correctness.

From what I am hearing so far, looks like I will skip this one.

 

[ANDS]

Has a woman and black guy leading the charge; deep down they want to give the scenario a chance but their inner-MRA is doing their best Anakin and yelling at them "Noooooooo!"

 

[StreetsofBeige]

If those images are true, alternate WWII looks legit. Those uniforms, guns and colours, and red skull thing dont resonate with real WWII.

 

[Markio128]

I honestly don’t consider these things as others do. I just see 4 people with guns.

 

[Spukc]

They only started putting women, blacks, etc on game covers when it became trendy.

They don't care, but they sure as hell want you to think they care.

that’s pretty common in modern times.
i hope you are ok with that

used to be a bit off don’t you think in the past?

 

[Votron]

WW2 and woke lol gl

what's woke about this? I'm actually confused. Copying BFV?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

That's...another 4 player co-op game isn't it?
