A very long and drawn out campaign that doesn't take two days to beat.. I like the new stuff in MW2 it was fun but the game wasn't long enough.

And please lets not back track again to WORLD WAR II for the millionth time.. how many games out there are based on that anyways? 50?

I can not stress how much I would like to see a campaign that lasts as long as multiplayer does online. That would be sick.

Large, stealth maps

Goes to show that no one reads the news carefully without jumping to conclusions so I will mention it again:

World at War was the LAST WW2 game that Treyarch has made an has moved on!

are people THAT blind to not notice it?

There have probably been more modern type war games made than WWII games if you really think about it. Its just been recently theres been a lot of them so retards think that the gaming market has been saturated with them for 2 decades. Call of Duty 7 has already basically been confirmed to not be set in WWII, so you MW2 fanboys have no reasons to bitch anymore.

As for the multiplayer part I would like the game to have only tactically designed big maps and not those lame arena fighting maps like Scrapyard, Showdown, Highrise, Wetwork or Vacant to name a few. You should be able to play effectively in every map as a sniper as an assault rifleman and so on. First of all the maps should have a good balance between camouflaging, cover, interiors and exteriors. And as a fan of tactical warfare sim games like Operation Flashpoint and ArmA I would like the snipers in the game to be able to play as real snipers who use recon, stealth and camouflaging more than being a surgeon with bullets. To weed out the quickscopers and no scopers the developers could accomplish this by slowing down the reload time of the bolt action rifle or by slowing the time how long it takes for the character to scope in with the rifle. The sniper should also lay down to have any accuracy with the sniper rifle at all. I also hope that the game has more balanced weapons than its predecessors and no killstreak rewards at all to encourage players from camping. The game modes should all be objective based like Infiltration from OF DR, where you need team work and stealth to accomplish your goal. As for the perks seen in MW2 there shouldn't be perks like lighweight, ninja or commando or cold blooded etc. If they asked me I would drop the whole perk system out of the game and bring something fresh to the table like a customization system where you could customize your soldier's outfit camo and face camo. A weapon customization would be also cool where you could change the weapon parts like the stock, barrel, scope etc. and that way customize the guns appearance and stats.

Instead of hard core they should make a game mode called real core or something. Get rid of all hud except a clip count and make bullets drop you into a black screen till medic saves you. Make the 12 players into squads, 1 assault squad of 6(1 squad leader, 1 medic, 1 heavy mg, and 3 assault guys. Then a squad of 2 snipers a shooter and spotter. Then the last 4 guys would be 2 spec ops, 1 demolition, and 1 medic. Have the kits be prebuilt so most people have m16/m14s and the mg has an m60. The sniper could have an R700 varient and his spotter would have a spoting scope and scouped m14. Make grenade launchers realistic by giving them leaf sites and range, no smoke trail either. Make knifes a weapon that you have to pull out like a gun and put a stabbing motion. Make the maps much larger with objectives, like clearing out a section of forest or taking a hill. Add recoil to the guns and sway when you hold your gun scoped to long. Take away sway when in prone and when a bipod is deployed drasticaly reduce recoil. Make reloading and switching weapons take longer so when someone empties a clip at you they can't wip out a pistol and shoot 8 rounds in your face. Remove killstreaks and perks for this mode, but give squad leaders the ability to give orders like attack defend and call in artillery. Make it so when you reload a half used clip when you reload later that clip will be half full not full reloads every time. Probably the most drastic change I will probably never see is, when you carry your rifle your not in a firing position except prone. I hate watching people constantly carry their guns up and spraying like this. Heres an easy fix L1 brings up your sites and or you can pull the trigger and you will shoot from the hip like in cod5 then after a second or two the gun goes back down like when you carry a gun. These are my ideas for a drastic, realistic game mode that you may consider lame but just thought i'de answer the qustion unlike the entire first page of replies. O and don't give the americans guns they didn't use I hate watching US Army guys with mp40s, everyone used an M1 garrande or Thompson.

@brock77n That realcore/hardcore thing you mentioned should be the main mechanic of the game and no softcore and hardcore separately. I totally agree about the points you mentioned above on how to make the game more realistic.

If It's another console port like WaW was then we can pretty much say goodbye cod7 on the PC, Avatars running around looking like chimps on acid just looked and felt well very dodgy comes to mind, plus the sound engine might of been realistic but I'd rather some one hear me coming around a corner or running up behind them and I hear them coming, than constantly backstabbing people, Its so ridiculous, Get back to the good ol days of the quake sound engine.
This is Treyarchs 3rd installment what was IW's call of duty 4, plus they had never made a fps for the pc so they must of learned some lessons from WaW, saying that there support of WaW on the PC was pretty damn good and If this is any thing to go by We are in for a good game i'm hoping, FFS don't screw this up on the pc Treyarch !

New perks and ones that you cant over kill like one man army.

I hope to see the lean option like in cod4 it was very useful
