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

[Tinnitus]

I mean, it has been a while since they last did a new CoD story that wasn't BO or MW; wouldn't mind seeing something new, though given that it's Sledgehammer I can't help but feel they're going to muck it up in some way. That, and we know the CoD kiddies are going to hate it because it isn't the same BO/MW slop that the previous 7 games have been, even if the game actually turns out to be decent, so...



You think they might be trying to expand the melee combat in CoD? No idea why, since they've already got a solid gunplay system. If they're trying to copy Fortnite's usage of melee... then it'll kill CoD even more, the FN community HATES the OP melee shit that Epic's pushed, and CoD shoving that in will not go well. If they're trying to add John Wick-style combat or something, that could work, but I have no idea how it would go at this point...

The 'big focus' movement almost makes me want to think of the parkour gameplay in Brink or Mirror's Edge; that could be a genuinely interesting direction for the series to go in, but knowing Activision, they're going to screw it up.

I already know that in Hacktivison, Treyarse and whatever lgbtq2÷a infested devteam none of employees responsible for CoD's success are left.

I can’t wait to see somebody do a flying Bruce Lee kick followed by a 360 no scope across the map.

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing

It would be a missed opportunity not to have Kung Fu Panda skins in that game

DON’T give them any more ideas!

They will also have a Karate Kid skin and you will hear the screaming of 'Wax on, Wax off!' on the battlefield

Any chances Acktivision is gonna fix the Cod games to prevent RCE exploits since they´ve added every game into Gamepass?

Relatedly; can someone tell me what 2-boxing, 3-boxing, and 4-boxing are supposed to even mean? I don't speak CoD kiddie.

It’s when somebody uses more than one console (box) logged in with dummy accounts to connect to a match. Typically used to have low level accounts to trick the SBMM to join bot lobbies for easy progression.

BT made a good video recently

The first 10 minutes or so sums up what this thread has been talking about over the last few days, but it gets worse as it goes on. For me, game changing discounts on bundles per account based on what the algorithm thinks will appeal to you is not just creepy but straight up disgusting.
"Call of Duty will be unrecognizable in the next 12 months"
But it did get worse.
Edit: Players are now getting permabanned with no appeal for going "AFK". By that I mean 3-4 minutes idle, and the disturbing part is that some of these bans go back as far MW3, so Activision not only keeps track of all your games but is actively going thru them one by one to ween out who isn't participating in their hamster wheel social experiment. You have an Activision account for 20 years and played COD for just as long? Too bad, you're gone now, they don't care.
Remember how I said that the game can now use your account name on a a bot used across public matches if you're not playing the game? Apparently that bot can also get you banned, so you can quite literally not do anything and come back to still being permabanned. Thank goodness that AI bots are only a conspiracy theory so this shouldn't happen to you.
At this point, even actively owning a copy of the newer games is an active hazard that could get your entire Activision/COD account banned permanently. How demoralized as a human being must you be to put up with this kind of abuse and still play the game?
