Ghostbusters has a long legacy of flops to overcome in the video game world.

...but from all that I read and watched so far, it looks like it can accomplish this task quite well. I´m really looking forward to it. It´s about damn time someone pulled a Ghostbusters game in 3D ffs!

There'd been rumors of IW going for a Sci-Fi setting.

It'd be interesting. I trust IW could pull it off.

Well they have done WW2 (to death), modern day. There isnt much left. Call of Duty: Cold War?

CoD still has Vietnam, Korea and WW1 (campfest).

True, but WWI seems mighty boring IMO for a game.

Vietnam could be good. Dont know enough about the Korean to comment.

But lets face it, they are just going to replace skins and models anyway. Vietnam can have napalm rather than airstrikes. meh.

Boring...as opposed to being pinned inside a building by a helicopter?

Guys pouring into your trenches with bayonets and gas attacks sounds pretty intense.

I don't really want another modern warfare game with CoD, unless its a new engine. Because, lets face it, cod4, 5, and 6 will look exactly the same.

Have gas strikes be called in like helicopters, but it has an equally likely chance of gassing your side as the other side.

WW1 was one of the most varied wars in terms of actual techniques used during battle. Everybody thinks western front + shitty muddy trenches with WW1 which is infact most of what happened but there were other theatres with very different methods of combat.

The war in the Middle East was very different to the western front.

Besides, read Somme Mud by E.P.F Lynch. It wasn't at all a campfest. Not for the Aussies anyway.


Oh and a new Riddick game would rock. The last one was epic. If there's something Vin Diesel did right it was producing that game. Here's hoping Riddick 2 and Wheelman both match up to his first work in the gaming industry.

You know what, I don't even think you realise just how awesome of a game that could be

I do ... it would be the most bf2 mod ever

Cpt. Price is probably still alive, but i'm def looking forward to the new cod.
I'm Korean and would def not like to play against my same people, and anyway Korean war would be pretty much like WW2.  Vietnam war would be interesting, WW1 would be awesome tbh. No more people running around with Thompsons and PPSH spraying all over the place.

I completed Riddick several times so I'm looking forward to playing the sequel!

remember it is CoD though, so it has to have retarded gameplay and/or players.

But yeh I guess WWI could be viable.

As linear as the CoD series is, it would be a perfect platform.

That'd be fair.

It might not be sci-fi, but maybe it will be set a bit into the future - like crysis. That way, you could add new guns (XM8, Tavor, etc) but still retain a realistic feel to it.

XM8 project has been abandoned (I think).

The tavor is in active service. If you want slightly in teh future but with 'realistic' guns, why not just let the devs let their imaginations run wild or at least look at putting in things like the MRC in.

UN13, everybody knows about Metalstorm now. I first heard about them around '03 I think. They made it big in the news here.

I want to see one of their pistol's built and demonstrated.

Maybe here they have. The majority of people I've encountered elsewhere have not. Besides, what does common knowledge have to do with weapons suggestions for a futuristic CoD?
