1. Call Of Duty: WWII Listened To The 'Fans'

After years of complaints about Call of Duty's sci-fi setting, the series has finally returned to its 'boots-on-the-ground' origins, ditching futuristic jet-packs and double jumps and instead getting stuck into a good old-fashioned World War 2 tale.

However, while a certain vocal community of fans have been craving for a return to the gameplay of old for years now, you have to pair this off against the substantial sales for every futuristic instalment bar Infinite Warfare - which still topped the charts in the west. It creates the idea that the loudest online contingents of fans don't necessarily speak for the Call of Duty majority, and if you strip away the advancements of the recent entries, then COD doesn't really have anything going for it.

After all, these days standard team deathmatches and XP grinding to unlock new weapons and perks no longer cuts it, and a new World War 2 look won't distract you from the fact that this style of gameplay isn't as fresh as it was in 2007.

But while that's only the multiplayer side of things, the single-player doesn't look any more promising. The campaign itself is shaping up to be yet another going-through-the-motions WWII tale, no different from any one of the games players were bombarded with in the 2000s, or hell, no different than some of the other games in COD's own back catalogue.
