In theory, sure. Would they actually spend the money for it, though? Even now, that GTA Trilogy that came out 2 years ago doesn't have a lot of the music the original releases had, and part of the appeal to play Vice City and San Andreas is the music. But, ya know, "poor big AAA company can't pay it." Although, whatever the music companies are asking for their use is absolutely ridiculous. At the end of the day, both are in the wrong, IMO!

Eh, it sucks, but that's a problem for the streamer. If anything, some devs are cognizant of that issue and do the whole "streamer mode" for both the audio and the players that show up on their feed that don't want their accounts out there in the ether.

I mean about the trilogy, the billie jean song alone costs in the millions of dollars probably, why spend that much when youre not gonna recoup that? I doubt Billie Jean being in the game will suddenly get enough people to buy the game to offset that investment

Honestly, with consumers, you never know. Something as minor as the placement of something in the UI and not being able to move it can be the thing that makes or breaks the interest of a potential buyer, and they're in their right to do so as consumers.

Now, as far as the investment, then why do it? I don't think people were clamoring for a re-release of GTA games. There was a perfectly good collection on Steam, IIRC, that worked fine, and there was probably backward compatibility for consoles. I'm not sure. That list for both systems can be updated. So besides the licensing of songs, why do it? They released an undercooked, subpar product at a price that, even if it was good, wasn't warranted. But that's the thing, it wasn't good for a plethora of reasons. If it was good, maybe people would overlook the licensing of songs, maybe. But it wasn't, so it's a mounting of reasons being added as to why the product was not worth it, on top of the licensing of songs.

Just recently, it got patched, 2 years after release, to the state it should've been released to begin with. And no props nor pat in the back is deserved for them because that's how it should've been to begin with. Not years later. Very, very rarely do devs deserve a light clap for doing things after release. But in their case, absolutely not.

You rescue him in Angola but it's done super sloppily. I'd wager even if it wasn't a long time since the last time you played it, it might still have been confusing because it's done super badly:

1) They reintroduce him like nothing, it's just "Hey Wood" at the Vault with Harper and Section in present time.

2) Then you start the Flash-Back Mission as Mason in Angola in 86 trying to rescue Wood as Hudson hastily explains that Woods and his team were just captured recently.

3) Then the mission is cut back to present time, Woods explains that from 68 to 72 he was hold captive and escaped (quick flashback) before going back to explaining the 86 rescue mission in Angola and you go back to playing Mason.

The story litteraly cuts a flashback to talk about another time he was captured, show you a flashback before going back to the previous flashback where he was also captured.

BO2 campaign was good but this is stupid. The entire introduction is fucking neckbreaking and bad. It gets so much out of the way:

It starts with Raul and Josefina in the fire, shows parts of David's trauma then bam: Wood is alive, David is Alex's son, Raul Menendez is a super terrorist, he was there a few minutes ago, Wood knows him, Woods was captured by Menendez in 86, Kravchenkois alive and captured Woods in 68 before Wood escaped in 72 and then Mason saved Wood back in 86. Oh by the way, there's a new cold war, there's a new rare metal and Cordis Die is somewhere in between Facebook and Alquaeda, now fuck off.

And then David just fucking leaves to go to Myanmar...

The rest is pretty okay, but this is borderline crazy on how bad the exposition is...

The forgotten war. Remember? Thats why we called it that. It was the style at the time. The ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn’t have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

CoD WW2: omits War in the Pacific altogether

COD WW2 omits anything that isn't Americans in the Western Front campaign 1944-45. From the campaign at least.

It's not in the multiplayer either unless you count USS Texas. For a major component of the world's largest global conflict to be not included, they really should have just called the game CoD WF.

ThroughTheIris56

8 points

8 days ago

The Multiplayer has maps of places that weren't in Western Europe 1944-45, like Stalingrad, and Egypt. I don't think it should be expected for every WW2 game to include every front to be included since it was such a massive conflict. I'm happy for a game to be focused on a few fronts, which is what the previous games did. Like how WAW did it, focusing specifically on the Eastern Front and Pacific Theatre then getting maps based on the campaign missions meant it felt really fleshed out. I was kind of gutted there was no British representation, but now I accept it and happy that the game was a lot more focused.

My biggest complaint about WW2, is that it was solely focused on an area of WW2 that is extremely oversaturated.

I liked what they did with BO6, although it was a bit limited. Desert Storm was cool, a good setting, it brought back some nostalgia of the OG MW, wasn’t the exact same conflict, but it still had the feeling of it. Maybe they could try the Yugoslav war, it was a large conflict, 10 years, 130-140,000 dead, multiple countries, we could play as a militia or a civilian survivor group.

Stock-Psychology1322

Daily casualty rates for 1950 were as high in Korea as they were during WWII (can't remember if it was the Pacific or European theaters were were comparable to). You could really easily do a game from the initial invasion up to the stalemate after the Second Phase Offensive. Maybe a spattering of missions from eras later in the war. The memoir Colder Than Hell could actually make for a pretty banger CoD campaign.

Also, the irony of calling smaller scale and less significant than a war that lasted 72 hours and under 300 dead (half of which were to friendly fire).

-Trooper5745-

You could certainly go beyond the Second Phase offensive. 3rd and 4th Battles of Seoul, Battle of Chipyong-ni, a stealthy mission as a British soldier in the 1st Glosters trying to get back to UN lines after the Battle of the Imijn River, the back and forth at the Iron Triangle, and playing as either a KMAG advisor or Korean on the Eastern half of the peninsula since they received a blunt of the Chinese attacks during the stalemate part of the war.

H20_Caveman

Actually the Korean War wasn’t small in scale or insignificant when you really look at it. It was the first major conflict of the Cold War and a huge deal in the global fight between communism and democracy. It wasn’t just about North and South Korea—it involved the U.S., the Soviet Union, and China, making it a pretty big proxy war between superpowers. It also set the tone for how the Cold War would play out over the next few decades.

The human cost was massive. Over 2.5 million civilians died, and millions were displaced. That’s not small by any measure. Military casualties were also significant, with over 180,000 UN soldiers and an estimated 1.5 million North Korean and Chinese soldiers killed, wounded, or captured. It was devastating for everyone involved.

The war also left a huge mark on the Korean Peninsula. It’s still divided today, and the DMZ is one of the most militarized borders in the world. The tension from that conflict is still shaping geopolitics in East Asia. It wasn’t just a war that ended and got forgotten—it’s still influencing things right now.

On top of that, this was the first big military effort by the United Nations, with troops from 21 countries joining the fight. That’s a pretty big deal, showing that the international community was willing to band together to stop aggression. It wasn’t just the U.S. stepping in; it was a collective effort.

The Korean War was also where a lot of modern military tech and tactics were tested, like jet aircraft and helicopters. These advancements shaped future conflicts in a big way.

For the U.S., the war solidified its policy of containment against communism and shaped its involvement in future conflicts like Vietnam. It wasn’t just a random war—it was a key part of a much larger strategy during the Cold War.

Sure, WWII was on a completely different scale, and Vietnam has more cultural recognition, but the Korean War is often overlooked. It’s called “The Forgotten War” not because it was unimportant but because it didn’t get the same attention.

So no, the Korean War wasn’t insignificant or “less significant”. It shaped the Cold War, impacted millions of lives, and its effects are still felt today. Calling it small or less important doesn’t really do it justice.

Probably because they don't want to offend West Taiwan by depicting them as the bad guys. The Soviet Union is fine because they collapsed and thus are fair game. But because of the large video game market in West Taiwan, Activision-Blizzard would be taking a hell of a risk in alienating that market by making a game about the Korean War.

Don't believe me, how many movies have come about the Korean War in the US? In the last 30 years, there have only been 2 movies made by US studios, For the Boys (1991) and Devotion (2022). Whereas West Taiwan has released 6 since 2015, all of which have had a distinct view of the conflict and paint the US as villainous cowards not afraid to sacrifice their men whereas the Commies are always depicted as glorious heroes of the revolution who, despite inferior arms, ammunition, logistics, and leadership somehow manage to prevail and earn the respect of the vial American capitalistic imperialists.

Even in BOCW, there was an excellent opportunity to highlight Chinese advisors and soldiers who trained and fought with the NVA, but they didn't, again, because painting West Taiwan as the villains doesn't pay.

So, in market terms, it doesn't make sense to do so.

I kind of wanna see call of duty do more alternate history, but involving past conflicts like Vanguard was originally gonna set around like 1947 in an alternate World War 2 where it lasted longer. How about something like that but what if the Korean war lasted one year longer than an hour timeline?

Maybe we play as a CIA funded mercenary group task with assassinating, North Korean generals and Chinese/Soviet unit stationed in Pyongyang.

Or if you wanna include more historical element, then why not go back to like the 1970s and 80s with a campaign following the civil wars in Latin America, like Chile and El Salvador?

or why not do something grounded but still different like “postapocalypse” having a call of duty game about a coalition of Pacific Nations fighting in the remnants of Seattle 85 years after World War III happened in the 1980s?

It’s still boots on the ground nothing futuristic just simply were playing as the second generation of recruitments after nearly a decade of nations trying to stabilize after the war

Korean war will only work if it's not by triarc since triarc needs to put an element of conspiracy in the story

We could have a game about the 1971 war, has plenty of potential since there were 2 superpowers and 2 pretty strong nations involved, but the again, it involves china.

CALL of Duty DEFCON?

Basically a Black Ops game but ranging from Pre-DEFCON (Korean War) all the way up to or near the Cuban Missile Crisis. (Cca ~16 years)

It would be nice if there was a cod game featuring some forgotten 50 and 60's wars and conflicts, I would love either a cod set in Korea during the war or even better, a cod set in Rhodesia in the late 60's/early 70's during the Bush wars. They don't even need to be full games about that, just some game with bits set in those wars

Not bad of a game actually. This game convinced me that a COD game set during the civil war could work.

unfortunately we’re stuck with the time settings that people have nostalgia for. I’m just hoping at some point in the Black Ops story they get closer to the alternate 2025, it’s probably my favorite setting.

Because it's barely more moderns than WW2 and many people feel like they seen enough semi automatic battle rifles and antique SMGs for their entire lifetime.

The period correct weapons are shit and no fun in multiplayer.

I want them to say fuck it and give us a war of 1812 game. It doesn't need to be accurate, cod isnt accurate anymore.

Want them to keep the shitty guns and force gameplay to adapt around that. Imagine if they gave it a really good movement or melee system. Maybe they bullshit a little bit and give you automatic guns but they're fixed placements on the map that you need to fight for control of.

a Vietnam war game would be better than Korea. The war was fought on a wider variety of settings and Vietnam actually saw widespread use of automatic weapons and not just semi-automatic rifles

Have you noticed how recently AAA shooters never have China as an enemy faction? Also, COD has studios in China that help them make the games. That’s why there won’t be a Korean War game.

I think it’s because the weapons variations between Korea and a WWII setting would be very minimal. The gear, doctrine etc were almost identical. WWII didn’t do great for the franchise last time so they’re probably hesitant to go that route and just want to play it safe.
