Play Vanguard, you'd be livid.However even though the game is fantastic the anachronisms that are in the entire game still bug me…

I’m well aware of the steaming pile of shit that is Vanguard. I haven’t touched a CoD game since Black Ops 3, but all the people shitting on Vanguard were enough to let me know how much of a great decision I made dropping this series.
Also fuck Ghosts and fuck Advanced Whorefare. Those were the first two strikes but Black Cocks Pee was the third that made me stop playing CoD completely.
Honestly, the very same. And I didn't even play Ghosts until a couple years back with my half brother.

I feel Infinite Warfare was strongly disliked because of burnout from futuristic settings and holding Modern Warfare Remastered hostage with its Deluxe Edition. I can't blame people for being outraged at IW.

I still think that they should bring back Infinite Warfare but as its own IP series. Drop the CoD brand and gameplay, embrace its setting and expend on the lore. Allow players to pilot ships, join a faction and fight all around the Sol System.
Imagine if the multiplayer had a mode similar to Galactic Conquest from the old Battlefront?

it was also around the time when "cod is for kids, real gamers play battlefield" or whatever was memed hard, with a lot of astroturfing everywhere.
and it's not like there were a lot of "future" games, the only one really was titanfall 1 in 2014, no one gave a shit about halo at this point and cod/battlefield were all "near future" or whatever you wanna call it, which was still closer to our time than spaceships and big robots.

Somebody like Obsidian could do wonders with Infinite Warfare's premise. Activision would never do something like that.

I love that challenges can be enabled in Call of Duty. It allows experimentation and variety with different playstyles and weapons. For instance, WWII has a tactical knife attachment with a lenient lunge. That helped unlock a pistol variant.

The BF fanboys are one of the major reasons why IW's reveal trailer got downvoted so hard, to the point that there were more comments written by said fanboys high-fiving each other for it. All it really did was sour my completely on ever touching that series.
Glad to see that Infinite Warfare is finally getting some more appreciation nowadays. It has arguably one of the best campaigns in the entire franchise (it's basically an unofficial Gundam/Macross FPS), and a really enjoyable tongue-in-cheek Zombies mode. Sure the multiplayer is underwhelming, but I wouldn't call it awful, just so-so.

Remember when CoD had an emblem AND a weapon paintjob creator?
WW2's paintjob creator is subpar. You could only customize the left, right, or top side of a weapon. The angles they give you to view your work are rigid. You cannot rotate while customizing it, but you can when viewing your own. Layer placement is directional, which can limit on how you could stack icons together.
For some reason, naming your weapon skins is limited. It'll tell you "illegal characters" out of nowhere.

I didn't bother with the CoD WW2 customization, I just used big pink rectangles to cover the customizable parts of the weapons.

Credit where it's due, your paintjob is tied to your weapon variant. Let's use the M1 Garand as an example.
You have the Goldilocks variant from a supply drop. You make a paintjob for the Goldilocks variant. You could only use it for the Goldilocks variant, not the standard M1 Garand or any other variant.
Camos can overlay with variants and paintjobs.

Because the multiplayer was better balanced. It was kind of an inflection point. The used data analytics to make sure all the guns were good, shotguns had a very nicely-scoped niche, there were no god-tier perks without making them irrelevant, you still had persistent lobbies, and they rewarded taking objectives while still keeping streaks fun. On the other hand, it was the point where Treyarch's 3-lane map design was starting to morph into a Flanderized version of itself, and the Skinner box grind started to become more important than just playing the game and having fun.

WaW's tone was almost like a horror game rather than the usual Saving Private Ryan jingoistic type stuff. The cutscenes were brilliant.

I still think that the American campaign in this game was one of the most brutal and disturbing in all of the WW2 games. Not one campaign topped that story yet.

The best part is that there are some historical notes about this, if you were a kid that played WaW, chances are you would be interested in stuff like this, like tiny breadcrumbs. That is what made the first BO1 very special, as you had people looking up the SR-21 or the G11.

It's as real of WW2 portrayal as you can humanly get. Not even the Holocaust segment of CoD: WWII gets as dark as the Russian campaign.
