It might be an action blockbuster, but it's also about respect Here, we've gathered five of the points we think you need to know about COD WW2 based on the two hours we spent looking at and talking about the game.ĭon't forget to check out my impressions of the gameplay I saw and Sledgehammer's words on the game too. Even Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg thinks the time is right to return to World War 2. We saw the game last week ahead of its announcement, and though we didn't get to actually go hands-on what we saw was impressive, and Sledgehammer appear to be saying and doing the right things with the aim being to take the series in a new (but old) direction. Call of Duty WW2 is in many ways the opposite of that, doing away with the single recognisable antagonist and stripping down equipment and abilities to the bare minimum, just as things were in the earliest entries in the COD series. It's first full attempt in the franchise was Advanced Warfare, which had you take on Kevin Spacey while deploying near-future sci-fi technology. Sledgehammer games have a good COD pedigree as far as I'm concerned. Call of Duty: WW2 revealed - multiplayer, campaign, 'dark' co-op, and moreĪfter experimenting with the present day, the immediate future, the near-future, space-future, alternate universes and complex lore of all stripes, Call of Duty is going back to basics - back to the most significant and massive conflicts in history, the second world war.
