To say that Call Of Duty WW2 is a monster of a hit is a huge understatement. Despite only being released a few months before the end of the year, Call Of Duty WW2 was the biggest selling game of 2017 and that has continued all the way into 2018 and it shows no signs of slowing down.
With the Call Of Duty Resistance Pack here, more people are probably going to pick the game up. I could not find the exact sales figures for Call Of Duty WW2, however, over in the UK, it has reached a series milestone as it has spent its tenth week at the top of the UK sales chart. Not only that it has been said that it sold over 60 percent more copies than Infinite Warfare which sold over 11 million copies. If you do the math, Call Of Duty WW2 has to be at the 20 million mark at least so it is not totally unrealistic that in the next six months or so it could surpass, Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 which is the biggest selling game in the series with over 30 million copies sold.
I think the reason that this most recent COD is doing so well is all down to it not just returning to World War II. It is because it is one of the finest first person shooters of the last few years. It features an awesome campaign (that I have played through twice) a robust multiplayer mode, a fantastic zombies mode and it is going to be supported very well with DLC throughout the year. Even if you do not spend a penny on the DLC, you are still getting a ton of content for your money with just the basic package.
Sledgehammer Games deserve all the praise they are getting for Call Of Duty WW2 and it would be great for them if they manage to take the Call Of Duty sales record.
While I am having a great time with Call Of Duty WW2 and I have actually gotten used to no longer being able to double/boost jump or run along walls. I must admit that with the next Call Of Duty game, the heavily rumored, Black Ops 4 being set in a more modern time. I am actually quite hopeful that the folks at Treyarch may bring back wall running.
The slower more methodical pace of Call Of Duty WW2 is a very nice change of pace and apart from the limits on how long you can run, I have not actually heard anyone complain about it. However, with wall running being in the last Black Ops game, I do have a feeling that this may be something that Treyarch want to keep in. I have felt that their COD games are always a little more fast paced, with an emphasis on run and gun and that is cool with me.
Being able to boost in Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare was actually something that I thought was pretty cool. It was always pretty cool being able to run along the wall, boost jump and then shoot someone. While I have a strong feeling that wall running will return in the next COD game. If the rumors are true that the next game is set in a modern setting and is a “boots on the ground” type game that we have heard so much about. I do not think that boost jumping will be part of it.
I would love to know if you guys would like to see wall running or boost jumping return in Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 or whatever this year’s game is going to be called.
Today I am having a little bit of fun as I share a few of the things that I feel could and if I am being honest, want to happen in the 2018 version of Call Of Duty. Call Of Duty WW2 is one of the best games in years so Call Of Duty 2018 is going to have a lot to live up to. Anyway here are a few things that I think could be part of Call Of Duty WW2.
No Futuristic Warfare
From what little has leaked, Call Of Duty 2018 appears to be set in a more modern time (thanks to a Treyarch job listing) however with the more realistic approach to Call Of Duty WW2 being so popular, I do not think there will be any wall running or jet packing in the next Call Of Duty… which if I am honest I am not sure I am super happy about, but I learned to live without in COD WW2.
A New Take On Zombies
We have had goofy and funny zombies and in Call Of Duty WWII Nazi Zombies, we had really scary and horror themed zombies. I think that Treyarch may have something different in store for us with their zombie's mode. Heck, they may even decide that zombies are a bit overplayed and decide to use aliens, monsters or mutants!
A Fantastic Single Player Campaign
There are all kinds of crazy things going on in the world right now with high tension with places like Russia and North Korea and I fully expect any kind of modern Call Of Duty campaign to tie into this. I think that with things in the world being the way they are right now. In tapping into this, the campaign in Call Of Duty 2018 has the potential to be one of the most hard hitting ones yet!
These are just a few of the things I could see happening in Call Of Duty 2018, I would love to know what your predictions are in the comments section down below.
