User blog comment:DBD Abyss/Confirmed Fake: Call of Duty 2014 named Call of Duty: Patriots/@comment-4708648-20140430191702

Activision's probably trolling us, but with all the twists and turns the franchise took since BO 2, especially, Ghosts, I'd be really glad if we actually went back in time for once. Even before the announcment of Black Ops II, I said that i would be really happy if there was a new CoD that's set in World war 1, But, i bring back the counterparts:

THE GOOD:

Probably Trench warfare, that's going to bring a big Hand to Hand element in the game itself-                                                                          Hand to hand combat; Nailing someone into the muddy trench walls with a bayonet, and shooting him for good measure. The total feeling of isolation and the total fear of shelling, if Sledgehammer get the immersion right. Machine guns, although probably OP. Imagine what a kill streak you would get if you mowed down a charge.

THE BAD:

Primarily bolt action rifle combat. Bolt action rifles? For a post World at War player? *laughs*                                                                               The OP Machine guns. Probably. Big chance that Sledgehammer will mess up the charge. The sheer scale. This is something that Sledgehammer, nor any other AAA developer ever did before. No benchmark, no good game?

This brings me to the end. Will this game be set in WWI? If so, will Sledgehammer succed? I guess we'll find out at the announcment.
