Aren't those guys also based in Europe? IIRC, CD Projekt is a Polish company.
The next Call of Duty campaign is an emotional hellscape - Called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

The killing-Arabs thing is so fucking overblown. Modern Warfare (as I'm aware, just the original one, really) was set in the modern day Middle Eastern wars, so yes, you shoot at a lot of Arabs, just like every WW2 game under the sun has you shoot at a lot of Germans.

I mean, id Software is American and while the companies who made them are run by autistic Californians, God of War 4 and Spidey PS4 seem fairly apolitical as games
Just had to throw that in there, of course.
All in all, the campaign's actually not looking to be particularly woke. It seems like it's going to be a retread of the first game except Price, I'm assuming, is going to be alongside the Marines the whole game and the other campaign will be the freedom fighter. And hey, there are female freedom fighters in the Middle East.
That's what the article said though.
Yeah, that's why I said I don't think the game's going to be woke. @Syaoran Li misinterpreted the article a bit, the dude making the game didn't say anything about the game was woke. In fact, he was describing it pretty much exactly like they described the first (or original, goddamn fucking reboots) Modern Warfare. Basically "more realistic violence, more modern story with terrorism" blah blah. The woke, snide comments were made by the article writer, who couldn't help themselves from quoting that dumbass Rami Ismail and whining about white supremacist terrorism. As if white supremacist terrorism which involves radicalization online isn't fucking boring compared to massive terrorist cells in exotic locations, on top of being incredibly rare.
@Syaoran Li was just trying to own the libs, trigger the libs.
I honestly don't blame him, when I first heard about the female freedom fighter campaign I was like "oh, shit, what are they doing". But as far as I can tell, even the Naughty Dog writers who would cause me to raise my eyebrows haven't said anything about the game being about evil white supremacist colonizers or whatever. It's just seems to be a normal war story with bad terrorists, with maybe some commentary on the line between civilian and military targets. You know it's not going to be woke when they're being extremely careful like with the first Modern Warfare of having the Russians be the bad guys you fight during the freedom fighter campaign.

I'm not going to watch the trailer but screenshots had the White Helmets (as seen in that beheading video) in em so I'm guessing this game is gonna keep it really real about Syria.
Campaigns in COD or Battlefield are a waste of resources. Make more maps and weapons, that's what people really want.

Yeah the game looks like a mix of ripped from the headlines Syria/Middle East bullshit and Russians because of course a 2019 game about modern conflicts is gonna feature cartoonishly evil Russians.
I don't know maybe it won't be a "Hey remember seeing this on the news?!" trash fire but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Russians being cartoonishly evil, well might as well continue the trend from MW2-3.

MW3 came out in 2011 though.
This is a 2019 game.
So the potential fo this game to be a current events simulator with a "Relevant" message is far higher than it ever was for the old trilogy.
Not to mention that MW2 and MW3 were playable Michael Bay movies while this is billing itself as serious and hard hitting.
My concern isn't thats it gonna Woke or something.
Really the impression I get is that it's gonna be some God of War 2018/Last of Us kind of thing where it tries way too hard to be "Mature" and "Grown Up" but just ends up being insufferable.

"Acclaimed indie developer Rami Ismail described the franchise in 2016 as, "That's Call of Duty, over and over. Shoot all the Arabs. Muslim blood is the cheapest in the world." "
I haven't played any cawadooty games in ages, but I can already fucking tell you this is bullshit because even a cursory glance at each game will tell you how stupid this is.
>Cod4: Arabs for the first act, Russians for the rest.
>WaW: Japanese and Germany
>MW2: Arabs for one level, brazillians, russians and americans
>MW3: Africans for one level, Russians in the rest
>Blops: Cubans, Russians, Vietnamese
>Blops 2: Cubans, a few russians in the flashback levels
>Ghosts: The entirety of South America
>WW2: Germany
Nevermind No Russian, which had you gun down an entire airport of russian civilians and security personnel.
But guys like him don't have an agenda, right? They're obviously not scoring brownie points by trashing a Triple A game franchise, naw.

If they wanted to shock people, they shoulda gone full Spec Ops The Line and have you kill American soldiers as the "freedom fighter" instead of Russians.
You always kill Russians in modern FPS games, so this feels like a cop out.

Never played either of them since I stopped after Blops 2 but Advanced Warfare was also generic PMCs led by Kevin Spacey and Infinite Warfare was space colonists that wanted to genocide earthlings, the closest thing to a common enemy the COD games all have is fucking zombies with Russians and Nazis trailing behind. The whole 'muh brown people killing simulator' is just proto-woke memes from the Bush era about media in general.
I'd love that, but I wouldn't think of a developer, much like Activision, that would take that marketing risk. I'm optimistic about this game, but knowing Activision, something is bound to go wrong.
The mention of no season pass and cross play did piqued my interest very.

Oh no, a Call of Duty where civilians (including women) get harmed. It's almost like people forgot MW2 opens with a massacre in Moscow's International Airport.
This is pretty by-the-numbers for them, considering all of the grimy things they've put in CoD games (your character being burned alive in first person, your person dying from nuclear fallout in first person, you character tearing a knife out of his own chest in first person, your character being shot in the face in first person, characters illegally interrogating a prisoner with a car battery, etc).

since the thread got bumped, this campaign turned out really decent. the embassy mission and night raids are outstanding productions imo.
