Call of Duty 2017 Possibly Teased By Sledgehammer Games

4.8
Like with many other corporations, Sledgehammer Games rung in 2017 last night with many studio executives tweeting out wishes for the new year. However, one tweet by Michael Condrey of Sledgehammer Games truly sticks out. You see, this tweet included a most puzzling image, one that Condrey himself called attention to.

The weaponry showcased in this image in the tweet seems to be very unlike the modern, futuristic weaponry that has been featured in recent Call of Duty games. In fact, it seems to be more World War 2 era than anything- could this mean that Sledgehammer Games are hinting at a return to a historical shooter with their upcoming Call of Duty game this year? After all, Battlefield 1 saw incredible success after going to World War 1- maybe Activision took notice and decided to ditch their forced emphasis on the futuristic setting, too?

On the other hand, what about Advanced Warfare? Sledgehammer Games’ debut effort in 2014 was well received, and has a rich setting and lore that could stand to be explored and fleshed out further- are they just going to be ditching that?

So many questions, but none of them are unlikely to be answered until this year’s Call of Duty game is officially unveiled. Judging by precedence, that will be some time around May.

I dont think its a teaser but it would be awesome for them to make a WW1 or WW2 game

TomPosted:

Looks just like a funny picture they put together. Doesnt look like they're teasing anything imo

The new call of duty needs to go back to the World War 2 era in any hope to rescue themselves, that is what the heart of call of duty always was and the unrealistic/futuristic aspect has killed the franchise. It's no coincidence that nobody plays AW and everybody is on the remastered version.

Don't think it would save cod honestly, they've been on a downhill slide forever.... it'll be good, but I doubt it'll be great

This would be amazing. Would save the franchise.

I'd like to see pre historic warfare where you have stones and sticks. That way you can't complain that it's OP

XboxPosted:

Hopefully call of duty gets their shit together.

I understand that not all games can be just WW2 but the when all the games that are out are futureistic it gets played out. The reason why BF1 is so popular is because its the only game thats not in the future. There needs ro be a mix of pre modern and future games out.

extrememasters1 I personally dont see the problem with the enhanced movement and wallrunning booster packs i mean dont you people ever get tired of ww1/2 games like come on thats all cod was until modern warfare and weve only had 3 games with enhanced movement starting with advanced warfare i just dont get it why get bored of something with infinite possibilities ie the future yet not with the past with only a few scenarios played out time and time again.


people arent bored lol the games are just booty

You can't be serious, AW was the second worst game in the series only second because ghost couldn't have been any possibly worse than it was. However, hopefully COD does go back to their roots for the next one.
