Harsin Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Call of Duty: Ghosts. Activision toyed with Call of Duty: Phantoms, but settled on Ghosts. Steering away from "Modern Warfare" to start its own thing, though is still kinda Modern Warfare 4. Set in the future, kind of like Black Ops, but with current generation weaponry. Some plot event forces people of that time period to use our generation weapons. Dynamic loading screens, as in the traditional loading countdown is replaced with some kind of animated sequence (rappel in from chopper, sneak in, etc). Movement changes. Dash->slide+shooting. Corner peeking. Prone left/right roll. Spec Ops gone, replaced with new mode. Team aiming for more destructive environments. Working in single player, but team is having some issues with implementing it in multiplayer. Launching only on next generation consoles: NextBox, PlayStation 4, and PC. Reveal sometime around the start of May. According to NeoGAF the next-gen only rumour should be taken with a pinch of salt as it's from a different source than the rest.Animated loading sequences, who said they were running out of ideas!

Mr Cochese Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I hope it has microtransactions. 8 Link to post Share on other sites
Harsin Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Where do all these spec-ops types get their balaclavas with skulls on the front from anyway? Is there a special shop? You never see them in Top Man. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Cochese Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Call Of Duty: Counting Ops is set in a fantasy world where soldiers must learn basic maths skills with the aid of the world's colourful inhabitants. Also, for some reason, they have contemporary branded weapons from some of the world's best known names in human slaughter. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Where do all these spec-ops types get their balaclavas with skulls on the front from anyway? Is there a special shop? You never see them in Top Man.It's set in the future. So presumably, they'll appear in Top Man sometime soon.They probably will, too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Harsin Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 In Halo Reach one soldier man liked them so much that he scraped one into his space helmet, which presumably made it really hard for him to see anything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Steven Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Tesco have also managed to show a placeholder for a new Halo title coming this Christmas. MS must be loving them today. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Gerbik Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 They would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling spec-ops! Link to post Share on other sites
Nespresso Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just to be clear, that is placeholder art right? Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Cochese Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 It's certainly not in keeping with the high quality gunbro art we've come to associate with the series. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

DC Lemon Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 CODG. Sounds good. So it's set in the future? I thought it was supposed to be a prequel based around the Ghost character but this reads more like a 'we don't care anymore' sequel. Link to post Share on other sites
Moz Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Maybe they will finally render in 720p. Link to post Share on other sites
b00dles Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I foolishly thought it was going to be CoD does Ghostbusters or something, which although completely stupid, has far more appeal than yet more boring shooting mans in the face in a nicely scripted corridor. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Cochese Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm surprised they aren't just going with year titles like the EA sports series. Link to post Share on other sites

TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I always enjoyed the single player campaigns despite them being dumb as fuck. But I've tried starting Black Ops 2 twice, and I just can't get into it anymore. Saturation point exceeded. Link to post Share on other sites

jon_cybernet Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Surely a game with modern day soldiers getting to use future technology would be far more exciting that a game where future soldiers get to use our technology? Sounds like they didn't want to let go of those lucrative gun manufacturer contracts to me... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Comrade Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Surely the clue of whether it's next gen only is in the Xbox 360 cover art we've got there? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lothar Hex Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Know what Call of Duty game I would play? The one that starred Shore Leave and Sky Pilot from Venture Bros. Of course there would have to be a couple of knife missions playing as Brock Samson. Link to post Share on other sites
