Will Call of Duty Ever See a Third Person Shooter, RTS or RPG Game?
We know from some prototype footage released that Activision was toying with the idea of a Call of Duty RTS, but unsurprisingly canned the project. I just bought myself my first gaming PC today and with it, I bought Company of Heroes. When looking at some clips of gameplay before I purchased it, I really started thinking about the prototype footage released for that Call of Duty RTS and how similar it looked. Maybe Company of Heroes was the cause for the failure of that game, considering they were both set during World War 2, but I would still love to see a Call of Duty RTS. If done right, it could be an RTS that has the same amount of popularity as the FPS version of the game. Luckily, it wouldn’t be able to become the juggernaut on the PC that it would be on consoles because PC players have a much wider variety of RTS games to play, such as the Total War series, Company of Heroes, Starcraft and so on; all of which have large online communities and very loyal fans.
Sledgehammer was supposedly working on a Third Person adventure Call of Duty before it was canned. Out of all the cancelled Call of Duty projects, that one was my most wanted. We never got any actual details on the game so there’s not much I can speculate on, but if you’ve played the third person modes on Modern Warfare 2, the third person view works pretty well for Call of Duty. I was always hoping they’d maybe install a cover component for the third person view, but of course that never happened. If any of these genres were to be used, I believe a third person shooter from of Call of Duty would probably be the most realistic idea.
Finally, this is the craziest of them all, but I’ve always had a hope we might see an RPG form of Call of Duty. The multiplayer component has some of the most addictive–OK it’s probably the most addictive leveling up system of all time. It’s the perfect formula for an RPG and I could see a Call of Duty game having you in an open world giving you a choice of what type of soldier you’d like to be, such as Spec Ops, Ranger, Task Force and so on. You’d have your customizable weapons/loadouts, choose your team and venture out in an open world taking on missions in all sorts of different locations.
We will probably never see any of these ideas I just presented, but it would really nice to see Activision take a chance in the near future and honestly, I wouldn’t care if they released two Call of Duty games in one year if one of them was a completely different game under the same brand name. What do you think? Will Activision ever take a chance of changing its prized possession? What would you like to see if Activision were to make a Call of Duty game under a different genre. Let us know in the comments!

If Call of Duty ever became a 3rd Person Shooter, RTS, or RPG, the people who snipe/quickscope/trickshot will hate it because then they will not be able to snipe/quickscope/trickshot like they are used to doing. Then, all the sniping clans that we have today would cease to exist because it will be such a major change in gaming, that no snipers will want to play it. People are hooked on the first person thing, and if the Call of Duty makers suddenly changed the perspective in the game, I think the whole communitty would change, and people would no longer buy CoD games anymore.

Well personaly I don't think they should make a 3rd person shooter.
Call Of Duty has such a wide fan base I think it could steer alot of fans away from the game.

I really don't understand how they featured the third person to mw2 but did not continue it on to MW3 its rather irritating i rather enjoyed third person its different you know unique if you will it is a much better playing experience when on third person.

Why cant the same company that have made a CoD follow one of these ideas to make a game. why do they have to use 'Call Of Duty' in the title in order to be successful? If people were interested, they would see what Co. made it and trust in them to get the game and end up enjoying it. Naming it "Call of Duty:" will ruin CoD's Reputation for their game even more

c0dm0dz call of duty should have ended awhile ago, they will soon realize that, you can over do it, just look at the Tony Hawk series.
It will happen soon, look at guitar hero/rock band they were both highly popular then they crashed and are worthless. that will happen to call of duty soon and hopefuly gaming will go back to how it was.

Cyber_SystemiFinish Game will be the same as long as they keep making these quick billons of thier same idea each year.
It very sad -_-
sad?
you mean beast
How is it beast? They need something new besides guns and different perk names. Every COD feels like the same thing nowadays.
