Hoping for no specialists. Last good COD to me was Ghosts and it wasn't even good compared to the ones before that. Back to the basics I hope.

i mean...gow hasnt had 16 games in as many years..people are clearly pissed off at how derivative and without innovation things have been for atleast a decade
BO3 was innovative in Multiplayer and half the fanbase dumped on it
Infinite tried to change up the campaign(best in the franchise) and not only was it dumped on but sold the worst since COD4.
They tried to change BO4 up to other modern MP standards and it ruined the game.

Im glad they don't listen to people asking them to reinvent the wheel because if it changes too much I ain't buying it anymore.
You know what you are getting with Call of Duty and at least until BO4 you knew exactly the minimum enjoyment quality, time, etc would be each and every year.

there is only so much you can do when you cant iterate on a formula too much. Many of those systems didnt change things enough for people who wanted more and didnt satisfy people who wanted things to stay the same.

From the leaks, it does seem like they're changing up a lot which is why I'm not getting my hopes up for the new game. They should stick with making good CoD games instead of Siege, Overwatch, BF, Titanfall knockoffs.

It's true. Game is a reboot of the Modern Warfare series, not a follow-up to MW3.

Press and influencers played it this week. It sounds pretty freaking good from what I've heard. New engine and new takes on classic Call of Duty, more realistic. I'm hesitant to say more because they'll show it soon and I don't want to ruin anything, but Call of Duty fans should be excited about what's coming, specially those who feel the franchise has ran a little stagnant.
Does it have...a single player campaign? All I care about to be honest. I think it should also be the first focus point on all media released (CLARITY, SP YES OR NO) I never touch the MP in COD so last year´s didnt exist to me.

This game needs to be huge for activision. They recently started franchising cod esports for next season just like they did overwatch. I have been reading like 15-25 million buy in for franchising in the cod league which is insane for how little viewership it gets.

I'll believe free map packs when I see it. Remember when we though black ops 4 was not gonna have a season pass?

Also if you do cross play. Is there even a point to doing marketing deals anymore? Or are you still doing the bs "dlc first on console x"

They are charging teams 25 million for a league spot they need multiplayer to succeed this year.

Cod pros make like 60-100k and five players to a team tons of money is being dumped into the league. I would be surprised if we don't have free maps and crossplay tbh.

🙏🏻 I hope you're right. Black ops 4 has been my least played cod to date for various reasons but the promise of cross play and free dlc maps could bring me back again...

Damnit lol

I can see free maps happening, but I don't know about crossplay, at least for traditional multiplayer. I do think it's probably going to happen for campaign, Spec Ops, and the battle royale mode if it has one though. That said, I hope crossplay is in for all modes. Would make it much, much easier to find games on PC.

Black ops 4 season pass numbers were terrible by all accounts - Activision makes plenty from skins/loot boxes and due to that type of drop off could turn this into a PR "goodwill" move

PC-console cross-play simply shouldn't happen for any PvP modes, simply unfair.

If they do then PC would probably be walled-off unless you specifically join the party of a PC player like it is in other cross-play shooters, otherwise the m/kb players would just run circles around the pad players.

The big thing is that for shooters on PC vs Console. They typically get different patches to adjust balance to fit with their platform. This makes cross playing not compatible.

Yeah, that's why I'm not sure it will happen, at least for regular multiplayer. I would love to be wrong though.

I believe it. More and more people are straying away from COD and into mainly PC gaming, LoL, BR especially, of course this isn't new but this might be the first COD we see that's developed with the devs/Activison fully knowing they are up against a wall.
Rumour is F2P online portion too

I'm going to guess that this game won't have a BR mode.

Blackout might be made free, with a new map added.

that would be crazy, I won't even begin to know COD's earnings and how Activision feels about recent years but I can't help but feel like they'd be throwing away money by doing that. So many people buy COD.
I don't think it'll be the entire MP. The rumours are just that there is internal conversations at Activision about a way to bring free to play in. With MW having no in menu BR I can see Blackout being F2P stand-alone with a MW map in November exclusive for a period of time to owners of MW.
