It covered much of the big stuff and unless they want to get into battleship or aviation combat there isn't too much left.
I guess unless they go lower scale and get into British & Australian involvement

So true. The company that takes good studios and let's them make call of duty multiplayer maps.
I don't buy it,
Call of Duty has been too scared to commit entirely to Vietnam twice now I doubt they do the Korean War.

We had one not too long ago and it didn't go over well. I barely played it after I got it during a deep discount (20€) because I was still burned out from all the WW2 shooter from back in the day. SO if this is true I can't say I am particularly interestd.
Damn.
I remember really liking the campaign, and my friend group had a lot of fun with their take on zombies. I think the genre was just over-saturated with "near-future" shooters at that point.
YES! I was hoping for this since it's Sledgehammer and they have a deep interest in making WWII COD games.
I only played WWII recently after disregarding it for the 3 or so years its been out it was around the time I fell off COD, after playing every single one and heard WWII was pretty average. It's my favorite COD campaign, you could tell it was a real passion project for Sledgehammer.

My thoughts on it have to do with shared assets, since Cold War was originally Sledgehammers COD with Raven before they got removed from as a project leader and Treyarch was brought in to finish it up. You have a ton of Vietnam environments , character models that could be repurposed for this year's game, especially given this one was probably started in middle of last year. So less than half the dev time CODs usually get makes me think reusing a lot of Cold Wars assets could help significantly speed up development.
Of course you can make the case for repurposing WWII's assets but the game design will probably involve a gunsmith system and I don't know how in-depth that would really be with WWII guns.
COD2's storming of the Reichstag didn't stop WaW doing it too. Also, COD WW2 literally opens with D-Day, it would be weird for them to worry too much about covering things we've already seen in War games before.
There were earlier rumors that it was a Korean War setting but I doubt it. Activision would never ok a game where China is the bad guys.
I was clamouring for a return to ww2.
Then cod ww2 came out
No interest in this. It was something I thought I wanted but yeah.. no.

To be fair this is more because how COD WWII was made in my opinion. It absolutely resembled nothing what made the old games work, which were open areas that have you a lot of flexibility especially in Call of Duty 2. Sledgehammer though proceeded to that the literal account of the word linear and made every level a straight line with Hollywood MW2 shenanigans thrown in. Only thing that resembled a COD WWII was the boxart.
The MP I didn't really get into but to was a very weird overhaul of many of CODs systems, like reworking perks to divisions where they were always on for some reason, having a destiny like environment hub and loot boxes up in the ass.
If the execution is done better I think they could make a quality game but I'm not holding my breath.
Actually, I'm reading that it might be set during the Korean War on some outlets.

Put me in the camp who isn't too fussed about the setting as long as the games are good. MW and Cold War both are, so let's see what ya got Sledgehammer.
The only thing I will say is that I don't understand the clamour for MW2 this year. I want as much time put into MW2 as possible, ideally with minimal COVID disruption, and with a no compromise next gen exclusive. That's a 2022 thing.

I was expecting a different era, but it makes sense for getting this one done quickly and there's still a lot of room left to explore. Not excited at all, though, as WW2 did not live up to WAW for me. I also didn't like WW2's sounds or aesthetics, so if they do the Pacific Theatre or Eastern Front then I hope they try to match WAW's grit
