Call of Duty Campaign Improvements?

I'd like to hear from everybody about various different campaign ideas for the next CoD (Obviously they probably won't ever be put in, But it's still fun) Now i was thinking more along the lines of atleast in depth put instead of just the "they better make it longer" or something.

I have a few ideas of my own. Now if anybody has seen the movie Shooter (if not i suggest you watch it, It's really good) The opening scene with the sniping and such, That would make for a good start to a CoD level (Not like the CoD 4 shot) I don't want to say too much incase people haven't seen the movie.

Also if there's any chance that they'll decide to make another WW2 or another CoD around that. I'd like them to do the level 'Operation: D-Day' (Storming The Beaches of Normandy) The only game that I've played that included this level (which i fell in love with!) was Medal Of Honour: Allied Assault!

For a third idea. I'd like to see a bit of an emphasis on the campaign, For an example say you and your squad / allied soldiers are fighting through a city, Make the levels more open instead of forcing you to go this way and this way only, Have it possible to be able to go down flanks or cut through buildings and work on the enemy AI to make them respond to the more open levels (make them push flanks or something)

So what are your ideas and opinions on mine? Feel free to go in depth as i would love to get in depth as much as possible :)

Nope. It's 1500. If you bought Map Pack 2 and 3 you get additional Achievements :P

I like how Trophy's are just a rip off of GS :P

Oh well. I like my Gamerscore and Achievements. Anyways back on topic.

I would love to see atleast one mission that has you in control of a squad. Complete control giving orders and such

No way, WaW veteran was way easier than Blops veteran, even considering the grenade spamming (which I felt was reasonably realistic).

Blops was hard simply because of bad level design. No one who played Blops on veteran can say that they weren't stuck on Khe Sanh. It was ridiculous; you were stuck on top of a ridge with one piece of cover while ten or so vietcong ripped you up with rifles and MGs, and if you killed some of them, more kept coming. And you didn't even have smoke nades or anything to provide concealment as you dove down the hill to the next piece of cover.

Yeah that was the hardest part of the game until I found out what you had to do. I thought the objective was to get to the bottom of the hill not blow up the Napalm Barrels [Facepalm]

I finished that level by getting to the bottom. Totally avoiding the napalm barrels [Rage] Could've saved me soo much time!

I knew about the bloody barrels, but it was pushing them down that was the problem. Every time I got to a barrel I'd be shot after the stab-and-push-down animation was finished.

@GreenThumb ... my version had an Asian Invasion [Shifty] [Shifty] :P

@desi I died after I got the first one but i just legged it to the bunker on my second try which made it alot easier because it activates a checkpoint.

@Desi i found it easier to zig zag down the hill, Thats how i done it while not knowing about the Napalm...

@Bloard Imagine the Zeus Cannon on that map [MOG]

Anyways, Who has any ideas relating to the OP?

Any more 'in-depth' then that?

Like scenarios or something?

instead of all hardended soldiers that are used to the conflicts of war, have new guys, people who have never experienced real combat, Idk if they've done that before though since black ops is my first.

People who have only just finished their training, no real time, real combat experience, people who feel the thrashing emotions of being thrust in to war and feeling the strain and hardship of seeing people they trained with lose their lives at the hands of enemy troops or even just improper preperation .

You could implement that with the Controlling your own squad (12 - 16 guys for example)

When one dies, Instead of him re-spawning. You have to wait a mission or two and you get a recruit, OR you come accross a soldier who got split from his group or something and you take him with you?

@swordsaint +1 They kinda touched on it in MW2 when your Ramirez and the EMP goes off and your squad is like all scared etc. Except for Foley... I hated Sgt. Foley.... "Ramirez! Fetch me a meal from the burger joint!" [Shifty] [Shifty] :P

@GreenThumb makes it less CoD and more RPG based by having the commanding element... in CoD games your nearly never the leader of the group your always the 2nd in command kind of guy

Which is getting old real fast. This is what i started the thread for. Ideas on how they can improve / change things up a bit. Even if it's only for one mission or something...

You get dropped behind enemy lines or something and your commanding a squad to sabotage / SnD or Assassinate someone...

Oh, they've already done that throughout basically the entire Brothers in Arms series. It's actually quite good, and does involve squad commanding as well as the emotional stuff. Hell's Highway's campaign was very enjoyable.

I'm up to that hill and i haven't touched the game in a month.
It's just. Too Hard.

No more constantly respawning enemies! Instead; how about some smart enemies? The AI in COD is one of it's biggest weaknesses.

Also, stop being so up their own ass. The games exude arrogance which I loathe.

Also be less American, what drew me to the first game was the "omg this game acknowledges someone other than Anerica fought in WW2!!". That was awesome because it was rare, they seem to slowly be forgetting that now and turning into another American flag wank game.

Add destructible terrain, it's worked so well in Bad Co.. You know I just realised I'm basically describing Bad Company 2... Maybe I should just give up on COD. BC does less wrong in the first place, abd the core mechanics are superior, I've got a better chance of then improving that, than I have of COD altering it's formula in any way that understands the concept of less is more.
