    Does anybody even care? They could sell the CoD name for masses even if it was set in the 70s hippie era, where you fight John Lennon regardless of lack of innovation and copy-paste features. For all I care they can slap the name on another mobile game, where you must buy 5 different crystal currencies to progress and people would still buy it.

    Stop fucking buying mass produced franchises.

    I’m sure it’ll lie about US actions during the war, just like when they blamed the Highway of Death on the Soviets. COD literally has to get permission from the US government to feature US military equipment, they’re definitely exercising some editorial control in exchange for that. COD is propaganda, and nothing but.

    Well probably have to reboot twice to launch the game.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Long in development, Treyarch is gearing up to show off its latest entry in the Black Ops series, as most have been expecting for some time now.

    Via multiple sources familiar with Activision’s plans, we can now confirm that Call of Duty 2024 is indeed Black Ops, but we now have some more details on the theme.

    According to multiple sources familiar with Activision’s plans, Call of Duty 2024 will sport the Black Ops moniker and once again follow some of the West’s more shadowy military dealings in global conflict scenarios.

    U.S. President George Bush senior and UK Prime Minister Margret Thatcher deployed troops alongside Egypt and Saudi Arabia into Iraq after the Hussein regime invaded Kuwait, in what formed the largest coalition of militaries since World War 2.

    From what we’ve been told, Black Ops “6” will attempt to explore a nuanced narrative of the Gulf War, with a critical focus on different participants within the conflict.

    While I can’t fully corroborate this (yet), it was previously shared on Twitter (X, via Insider Gaming) that Call of Duty 2024 will feature returning maps from the Black Ops franchise, including Grind and WMD.
