Oh mai - - what have they done to the Call of Duty series? This is a huge risk, but potentially from the looks of the trailer, my hopes have diminished. Robots, mechs, flying machines, horse-riding?
And for goodness sake it is the same old game engine that creaks... expect another mass negative rating on Metacritic this November.
Not so much of a huge risk, in my opinion. The futuristic setting is quite new and attracts many people i guess. Especially its Call of Duty series.
But the fact that its still using the same old engine, the game looks quite terrible lol.
its like a combination of IW2.0 and WaW engine.
It's a risk for the series as there has never been anything 'past' "Modern Warfare" timeline. BF tried it with BF2142 but didn't work out. The trailer did little to excite me. In fact, at this point I am most looking forward to see what "MoH Warfighter" can bring. And yes, the game engine is another reason to cringe... for yet another year. Treyarch has pushed themselves too far, and "Black Ops" remains in my opinion the peak of the CoD series. We will see how this one turns out, but for now, I tag it as a disappointment.
