Yep, it's that time of the year again. As everyone has settled down from the hype of the launch of Advanced Warfare, many people have begun to question whats in store for the next CoD title. Will there be exo suits? Will it be in the future? Will it be in the past?
A new rumor has surfaced up that actually looks rather legit, as shown in the image above. The image above is of a microsoft employee name Raj Patel who posted the image to his twitter account Thursday. The image shows a dark red roman numeral sign for "2", along with what appears to be morse code along the sides. The morse code translates to "Presented by Xbox, 10 AM PDT/ 1 PM EST May 4th 2015".
Now, if this is legit, and not just another rumor, then let's just start with some analysis. Considering Treyarch is making the next Call of Duty, and the picture shows the roman numeral for "2", while adding that the last game they made was Black Ops 2, the only reasonable guess as to the picture's intent is to reference a possible World at War 2 launch come this November.
So what makes this legit? Well for starters, Raj Patel is the Head of Xbox Community Management over at Microsoft, so why in the world would he be tweeting out leaks to the next CoD? It's not unreasonable or unheard of for Microsoft to be lending a hand in the production cycle of the next CoD, especially in the media/advertisement stage of it. Considering the long-lasting deal between Activision and Microsoft to exclusively allow Xbox players first access to all DLC content is a good example of the relationship between the two, so it really isn't surprising as to why Microsoft has such inside information.
With all that being said, what are your thoughts? Would a possible 2nd World at War game be good, or bad? If it is legit, then you can bet almost certainly exo suits will not be a part of the next CoD, but hey, we get another World at War, which is by far a substantial trade-off.
