Yeah, he says this... then will probably make Battlefield 4 strikingly similar to all the rest. Black Ops too is 'near future' and so far it just looks exactly the same!
We need more quality future with proper future weapons. But plasma rifles and energy cannons etc. Like Unreal Tournament 3... but actually good lol. |

| Lately it seems DICE has started the 'Copy/Paste' formula. Close Quarters just feels like Call of Duty and Gun Master is just a rip-off... And now they want to do the same Tryarch is doing. I hope they keep going back to its roots, like they said Armored Kill will be and I hope the last 2 expansions will be too. |

Modern Warfare 3 will most likely be my last call of duty as I just can't stand any form of modern or future first person shooters like call of duty! That's why I love RPG's, they contain different content almost every time! |

@ #2 Completely agree.
I'm not at all interested in BlOps 2, and even more future I've not liked any of the Halo games. MW was great, MW2 was pretty good, MW3 was decent enough but getting boring. BF3 looked pretty, but the storyline was awful and it was far too short.
But, there isn't a whole lot they can do. There is only past, present and future. Yes they could pinpoint a specific war in the past but most are still going to be very similar.
Maybe they could mix it up a bit, have modern/future weapons in a historic setting. |

| Truthfully, I've never tired of WW2 games. We never had a proper Vietnam game, either. But I completely agree with what he said and I'm 'not' a fan of Battlefield to start with. But modern combat 'is' boring. I've said that since MW2. CoD4 was cool because it was the first to really do that (I'm not counting BF2 lol) and it blew me away. I'd even like to see a 'really' futuristic CoD title, or even BF (without the vehicles) just to see what they could come up with. Maybe some laser weapons, ionizers, disintigration beams, etc. That's a virtually untapped area of the FPS market. Granted, Halo does it, but after 5+ rehashes of the same freaking product, I'm so over Halo it's not funny. |

MW1 and MW2 were my favourites. The maps is MW3 just don't interest me so much, I loved the variety in MW2, Estate, Terminal, Highrise, some nice ones in MW1 with having to use nightvision.
Future stuff is boring, we get enough of that futuristic crap with halo etc.
All the Call of duties had gone and bad points.
MW3 added survival mode which I really like but I'd love to use maps from MW1,2. Also I think options would make it more fun like you have with Gears, choose your starting wave, difficulty. Be fun to change things, the enemy shouldn't know where you are as soon as it begins, so if you want to lay claymores, hide, snipe etc. Make the enemy fear you instead of just running at you, it gets boring. |

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! Why are developers just taking to copying eachother? There is already an over-abundance of "Near-Future" Shooters, whether 3rd or 1st person and I can't think of a more boring setting anyway personally. I would like to see a return to the CoD 4 days where they chose Realism and immersion over Triple A over the top and frankly ridiculous Hollywood type story's and set pieces and a Battlefield return to reasonable weapon effects, properly destructive environments and decent fan support rather than "weapon balancing", scripted demolitions and money grabbing rent-a-server schemes.
We need much more 'Nam, as well as some new or more fleshed out Campaigns-Korea, The Chinese Civil War, Gulf War One, a black ops style game with missions perhaps from The Falklands War, The Suez Crisis, The Iran-Iraq war, Aiden, Bay of Pigs Invasion, US backed revolution in Grenada. Pretty much every other genre of game is entirely based on fiction. Keep making some historical/factual shooters! |

| Personally I think far into the future would be more interesting. The new Call of Duty is set in what, the 2020s? That's a decade away, I don't care about that I see the same stuff on the news. Same for Future Soldier, sure it has a lot of fantastic technology, but it feels like any other war game. I'm thinking fifty years in the future or farther. I know Battlefield did something more than a century into the future, which I never played. But from what I've heard that was good, so maybe they'll return to that. |

| Maybe it's not the fact that every cod and battlefield game since call of duty 4 are all set in the same era, maybe it's getting tiresome because both games have been almost exactly the same both game play wise, graphically and story wise. There has been next to no new ideas put into these games. WHy not introduce some cover systems, maybe some paralell storylines, choices and rpg elements. How about skills systems and leveling throughout the story to get advantages etc. Why not make a modern first peson shooter under a AAA franchise that doesn't feel like it's on rails, why not let people pick up items and do things with them, maybe some stealth, wall hugging, off rails climbing.... it's not because the games are in the same time that they are boring, its that the same fucking games in the same places and times are rereleased every year... |

Pretty sure we've seen most of that before in the last 10 years and with current world events we may be saying the rest sooner than later. The problem is that they have got to SF-centric. The SAS and Delta Force got boring a long time ago and the events of Modern Warfare 2 and 3 really are about as likely as the Americans actually landing on the moon in '69... |

CoD has destroyed the genre, just like guitar hero did to the music genre with rapid fire releases over saturating the market. at least CoD has only been 1 game per year, but that is still WAY to frequent. you can't innovate in that kind of time span, all you can do is make some new maps and collect some cash.
the release schedule is just as much to blame for shooters becoming dull as the ideas themself. these devs/publishers need to take a step back and get more on the halo/gears of war schedule of making excellent games every few years, as opposed to re-releasing the same game with a new skin annually. |

OT: I agree. I know several people who didn't buy MW3 or BF3 because they're sick of the whole modern FPS trend. But futuristic isn't far from burning out, either. My only concern is where we will go once WW2, 'Nam, Modern AND Future are done for. |

DICE always had a good record of making good quality games, even so i found the story in BF3 less refreshing or fun to follow then lets say Battlefield Bad Company and yes i did liked the first Bad Company better. It was just fun to listen and watch to the teams comments and arguments. And then the MP was fun to and that it was great proves that many ppl are still playing even with BF3 full running now.
I heared something that they where working on a new Bad Company if thats true and with the new Frostbite 2 engine i,m pretty sure that will be awesome. And i think he,s right with Black Ops 2 now doing a near future FPS it would be silly DICE doing the same. |

Not to mention to get behind the steering unit of the first real tanks, or just jump to a nearby flakunit and try to shoot down that pesky Red Baron strafing our trenches? Will i,m def in then!! |

I dont get why all FPS has to be war based? Again games like Time splitters are great, I know kill zone was a war game but it's definately a good example of somethig different. Games like borderlands do fps justice (from a solo point of view anyway). War games are good an still har potential but as activision say if it's not monetizable then they arnt interested.
Why not have a British based ww2 game ? You know considering the was was predominantly Germany vs great Britain? We had the blitz, the dam busters, the African front, battle for Britain, Dday all quite capable of being put into a game with narrative. How many war games put you in the RAFs shoes or the royal navy? Barely any frontline fighting goes on using commands and tactics it's all mindless run and gun....no sorry dice just coz TOU haven't matched CoD don't say the genre is stale, you guys are just too lazy and bone idle to actually create something worthwhile |

@69 I'm saying the setting is perfectly feasible in CoD4, not that the game is 100% realistic (although what is a realistic FPS?-You will never be able to compare simulated attacks on Basra i.e. in Battlefield 3, to spending 6 months in and out of a FOB at Lashkar Gah. I would honestly say however that even aside from the setting CoD4 is one of the most realistic (although as already established, not very realistic) FPS' out there. Battlefield is a good series but when the weapon effects are so piss poor it is no more realistic (in fact i'd say less so) than Pre MW3 CoD.
There is a lot of noise being made in the media about violent video games at the moment, but I would actually argue that it is more harmful to the minds of youths when games are released with A Team style weapon effects, like taking cover behind car doors and being able to sustain whole magazines of Rifle Ammunition. It trivializes injuries and the danger of something that if not used correctly will always kill or maim. |

| Great, let's all copy off of CoD and fuck up OUR awesome game series too. DICE is gonna see the reaction from the shit that will be Black Ops II. Don't make the same mistake ffs. Nobody does near-future FPS better than Tom Clancy.. BF3 is awesome how it is! No need to change something that's not broken. One of the biggest reasons I like BF3 and didn't care much for the previous BF games is because of the extreme realism and how they relate to real-world events and possibilities. I like the setting of BF3. |

I wouldn't mind seeing a WWII game again... Those are the ones I grew up with (Every single Medal of Honor) and if they make it right, it could end u being an awesome game. With the futuristic setting the possibility to cash in would be soon after Black Ops 2 is released, mainly because it looks like such a terrible game. People would throw away that for another futuristic FPS.

| One day they'll get bored with the COD formula, sprint, aim down sights, slow movement, little aiming skill, etc. Moving to a future setting only means more space marine skins for the games that already pollute the game industry. Nothing interesting here. Support indie developers that actually try to innovate. |

Make the past, modern, and future age stuff together in a battlefield game.
Modern Day Man with modern guns and a knife vs Caveman with WWII guns and a club vs Futuristic Man with laser weapons and an energy knife. |

| Know what's really stale? Iron sights, we don't need the damn gun blocking 33-66% of the screen. |

| @43 BF 2142 was future. BO2 is near-future that still has connections to present time. and this seems to be the trend right now. |
