10 Ways Activision Should Make Call Of Duty 2018

9. Or Approach WW2 From An African-American Perspective

Everyone knows that when Activision finds a way to make as much money as possible; the publisher continues to drive the golden idea into the ground until players get sick of it. Consequently, with WW2 enjoying a huge boost in sales over Infinite Warfare, it wouldn't be out of the question that the publisher would want another game set in the same time period out next year.

If Treyarch isn't given free reign to choose their own setting for the sequel though, then they should at least attempt to give fans a completely different World War 2 story from the ones they're used to.

In particular, a focus on African-American regiments during the 1940s could be the perfect way to achieve a fresh perspective. Segregation was briefly touched upon in WW2, but a whole campaign charting the experiences of soldiers that history often ignores could be exactly what the sub-genre needs.

Treyarch are known for pursuing more mature and challenging angles in their games, and faithfully shedding light on the lives of these soldiers would be an amazing way to bow to Activision's demands for a WW2 game while retaining their own creative spirit.
