Eh you guys know this COD being developed by Sledgehammer Games? This is their first COD so I'm eager to learn how they will do it. Will it be good or a fail?  

Fail

Waiting for CoD to finally end like it should...

I cannot even disagree.

They should've ended right after the release of BO2 imo.  

is anyone else getting real tired of cod making there campaign so heavily influenced by other games, movies etc? Like the tank mission in ghosts was majorly influenced by the mission thunderrun in the bf3 campaign.  

No, because with all the time Activision gives the devs to develop and storyboard, any original missions will probably be **** and cliche.

...Wait.

Yeah, Black Ops and Black Ops 2 had the only somewhat decent campaigns in the whole series imo. I loved IW's multiplayer and all, but they couldn't have been more cliche.

I love how everyone was hating on the black ops campaign and it was one of the most fun campaigns I have ever played for a shooter. Breaking out of vercuda was so much fun  

cod zombies>all zombie videogames
cod multiplayer<battlefield multiplayer
cod campaign>battlefield campaign  

I did some research. The game actually looks promising. The campaign looks like its a lot less vertical as you can upgrade your suit and climb over walls and get to places you cant by foot. I might actually get this game.  

Black Ops 2 is my favorite CoD and I never play Campaigns so...awk

I am interested in this CoD however, they only showed elements of the Campaign, not the multiplayer so I will not disregard or consider it until multiplayer is shown.

Don't understand why people are bash training right now lol, you really need to post 3+ times about how much you dislike CoD? Play a different game then!  

This franchise needs to end x.x  

To all haters saying this series need to end, just stop. It won't end. Not anytime soon. COD to many fans(including myself) is the game where you can hop on with buddies, join a game mode, and get into the quick action game play. While I do agree that Ghosts is OK, COD as a whole is pretty good. I know there are haters that dislike the game but to say the series need to end..What would happen if your favorite series end? COD got its fans. COD got its haters. But most of all, COD got the haters that have to repeat that its the same thing every year. If you don't like it, don't play it. Simple.  

I don't think people realize if CoD ended, things like Titanfall and Battlefield would not exist. They would not try to get better in order to dethrone CoD as the lead FPS and in turn, all those other FPS' you like and enjoy would be leagues behind seeing as they would have no one to compete with. Even if you don't like CoD, saying it needs to end is only beneficial if you don't like FPS' at all  

I don't necessarily want CoD to end.

I just want CoD devs to wake up and realize that gaming nowadays isn't about how good you can 360 no-scope 7 year olds,

It's about the storyline and plot of the game itself.

Look at Black Ops and Bioshock Infinite, the gameplay was pretty simple but the stroyline were total mind****s.

Thus making them really good.

That's what "next gen" gaming should be like.

This is literally my first reaction the the trailer:

"Mmhmm... Ok something about democracy, bla bla bla, I'll listen to my NSL teacher instead. Mmmm ok we've got hover-bikes now. Alright... Weird jumpy suits. Mmhmm... Explosions... Gunfights... Hey don't I have AP exams to study for?"  

CoD will never have a single-player focus, and there are much better shooter games if you're looking for solid campaigns.

There is nothing wrong with having a game that's fun to hop on with friends and play the hell out of. CoD is a pick-up-and play sort of game and that's what its main appeal is. It was hella fun to play with a large group of friends.

No one is criticizing the gameplay as a whole, but the way the games are produced. The problem with CoD is that devs are given a 2 year dev cycle and that is it. It is hard-coded and written and stone, and they do not give their devs ANY excuse to delay or refine anything. They, and by they I mean the suits, have taken the franchise and turned it into a money-grabbing scheme. I do not blame the devs, no one should. They do their best with what they're handed, but if there is a major bug, or maybe they couldn't quite finish the campaign the way they intended... guess what happens? It's released anyway. This is because the suits don't care about the quality of the game, but rather getting that new CoD out every. Single. Year.

Thankfully now they have turned to a 3-year dev cycle, but I feel that's not because they want the games to do better, but the fact that the appeal is finally running its course.

CoD is fun because of friends mostly, and it sucks that every year you had to get the next CoD not because you wanted to... but because if you didn't you'd be playing alone while your friends played the next version. I enjoyed Black Ops, yet before I could really get into it, it was already time to move on to the next. None of the iterations make truly innovative changes, and instead you could take various new ones and they'd be better lumped together into single games rather than 4 different copies.

TL:DR? The problem is quantity over quality, plain and simple. Activision is known for milking franchises until they're dead, and CoD is no different. They will make sure to shove it down our throats until we don't WANT it anymore, and then they'll toss it aside because they don't give a ****. It is a ****ty, horrible approach to developing games and represents everything wrong with the way a lot of the major publishers treat gaming.
