Call of Duty Thread - Potential return to form? Or nothing but cope on the horizon? You decide!

Example: MW's general motif is "we get dirty and the world stays clean" is underutilized within its missions. It feels like shock value than saying something meaningful. That Piccadilly opening level feels like MW2019 is trying to do MW2's No Russian by having civilians in the crossfire during its invasion. Or having Price "let you decide" to torture the Butcher's family for information, if you decline, it just boots you back to the previous checkpoint. What was the point of having the player "decide?"

Speaking of "No Russian", their version of it (with Farah's friend) is pretty much an interactive cutscene, you have no choice. Just to make sure that it's heckin' safe, the gun they give you has no ammo. The MW reboot series is style over substance.

I play Warzone a bit, I have real life normie friends who still love COD so they ask me to come on for it. What do you wanna know?

I think the marketing of "ripped straight from the headlines" blew the remake out of proportion. It didn't help that video game journalists were "traumatized" of what was depicted before launch. It felt more like a movie than a video game. Don't get me wrong, it's not short of memorable setpieces, that mission where you're breaching a house comes to mind, its "straight from the headlines" tagline feels forced in execution.

Im preeeety sure the canon choice is Gaz killing the butcher, I always looked at MW2019 as explaining why Price made Gaz his #2. The thing about MW2019 is I always thought the reboot plan was for MW22 to actually be the COD 4 retelling. The fact that Griggs, and Kamarov showed up was a shock to me in 2019 and its partly why I think Warzone kinda fucked the story up since they kinda wrapped up the Zakahav thing randomly.

MW2019/Warzone 1 was never meant to be as big as they were. They expected some sales but quite frankly I think they were shocked to how *big* it got and how it brought COD back to cultural relevance.

MWIII is rumored to be the first CoD to be added to Game Pass before the price hike.

Even so, I refuse to play it out of principle.

Within a week of MWIII being added into Game Pass, hackers managed to exploit the Game Pass copy by masking their PC copy as an Xbox copy to cheat. The anti-cheat couldn't detect anything from the Game Pass SKU. How do you manage that? I'm glad I did not even bother.

You know, I was just thinking the other day of shit like "Crew Expendable" where the SAS just guns down all the crewmen on the ship just because they can.

I doubt we'd get anything like that now, where some guy who stumbles out of a cabin drunk gets a couple of suppressed 9mm rounds in him for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I also don't think they've managed to top "All Ghilled Up" either for sheer tension.

I could name a few setpieces. World at War's Vendetta level where you narrowly escape death from a body morgue, then assassinating a top Nazi official while being outnumbered. MW2's Wolverines! and Of Their Own Accord, which I mentioned before. Black Ops' level with Nova 6 comes to mind. I'll have to get back to you about that game. Maybe the penultimate level where you break free of the Soviet brainwashing after an interrogation. MW3, to a lesser extent, with its opening level with NYC under attack.
 
Someone's currently releasing a pretty sizable leak of supposedly a PS4 Black Ops 6 build's contents. It's most likely an older build, and it doesn't include zombies or the campaign, but still hefty compared to what's usually leaked.

That menu song slaps, same energy as Adrenaline(BO2), Ignition(BO3) and World on Fire(BO4) had.
My thoughts still haven't changed, it will be more of the same with some nostalgia from the earlier years thrown in. All the problems we have with MW6 will still be here, the same horrible Activision that gave us EOMM/SBMM and those horrid microtransactions are still at the helm, and you can bet your ass the aesthetics of the game will be raped beyond recognition a month or two in. Not enough new content from what I've seen and I am certainly not going to bother jumping thru all the hoops to play this, especially with all the cheaters. Zombies will be the last resort for people like me and I only care about Tranzit remake at this point, Dark Aether story didn't really drag me in and they would really have to outdo themselves to redeem the mode after the blunders that Vanguard and MW6 iterations were.
Treyarch could make the best game they can, but it will still be a nu-COD game and all of it's flaws will not be worth the admission price. You know what is worth it's price? XDefiant, because it's free. If I want to rooty tooty shooty, I will just install that because I have nothing to lose by doing so. This is the kind of game 3Arc should have made years ago, not now when the IP is almost at it's shelf life.

Attaching the MP3 of the menu music itself.

Unfortunately, I was too late to sign in to xitter to grab the screenshots, so they're lost unless someone else saved them. All I got is a video of some faggot commenting over them, so here it is before that one goes down as well.

Here is some more I saved:
Wildcards + Equipment

New feature: Specialize in one set of perks and get rewarded

I found a backup of the killstreaks video in better quality, so replacing the rip I made:



Right as I am typing this, another leak was uploaded of the new Warzone map(?), which in itself might hint at possible new maps since these tend to have them in their entirety as "zones" you can go to.

Some higher quality screenshots(lmao at the dude as he just laughed off a DMCA strike and kept going)

Clearer screenshots that are now deleted can be found in this video(without some mouth breathing retard talking over them):

New leak that shows map interactivity:

Look what we have here. They really are everywhere.

More interactivity:


Lastly, BlameTruth just uploaded a video on the issue and he pretty much put a bow on the whole thing:
The game looks like it might be fun, but scroll up to see why that won't matter. All eyes are on zombies now. Don't expect this to be "return to the roots", you will never get another Black Ops or Black Ops 2.

I found another leak, this time a fullblown TDM game against bots that was streamed on Kick

Here is a longer 30 min clip
(File too large to be uploaded, download while you can)
There really isn't enough ways to say "Nothing new under the sun". This looks like a reskin of MW5/6, just like Cold War was a reskin of MW4/2019. I don't see how anyone can get excited over this, it's not like the game is going to bring a new setting or brand new features. Oh, I know about the 'omnimovement", but if you want an advanced movement game play the jetpack ones or BO4 which is bunnyhopping/sliding central just as much as any classic arena shooter.

I posted a video that had all the twitter screenshots already, but here are original files for the maps themselves(Skyline has already been posted):

Lineup reminds me of Ghosts initial maps, at least aesthetically. Very underrated game btw, Treyarch tourists hated that game back in the day because you couldn't just run around like a headless chicken with a combat knife or two handguns and drop a nuke like in BO2.
Here is all the perks:

I know this is an alpha, but a 4chan user already noticed that pajeet hands typed these descriptions:

C-, see me after class
BTW /codg/ has all these pics and more if you want to archive them yourself. LMAO at the thread being so dead that even with all the leaks they're regularly pulling up from page 10 just barely.

We don't know how far back this build might be from, so I'd rather just wait until the game's actually released (or at least the official beta is) before making up my mind on it.

Have they amped up the sprint speed enough? It's getting kind of ridiculous.

Hiring Jack Wall for the games OSTs was probably one of the best decisions Treyarch ever had.
