“I can’t see Activision creating a new series out of this war,” I explained. In August, when I had the chance to test the Call of Duty: WWII multiplayer experience in beta, I described it as an unwelcome throwback. “But its biggest fans want more Modern Warfare or Black Ops multiplayer mayhem.
“As with last year’s blockbuster Battlefield comeback, Battlefield 1-which features a World War I setting and very strong single-player campaign-Activision is not surprisingly plumbing its past, and nostalgia, in an effort to regain the support of its biggest fans,” I wrote. When Activision announced that it was returning to the World War II setting for the next Call of Duty, I noted that World War II was not the answer for a blockbuster game franchise that has lost its way. I’ve explained my reservations a few times over the past year. And while I still have reservations about the future, the single-player game has surprised me. Call of Duty: WWII takes the franchise back to its World War II roots.
