User blog comment:Flamesword300/Could Treyarchs 2015 COD be a WW2 game? I think so/@comment-6343006-20140701145159

I hope you thoroughly read the link you posted there: it's from 2012, and nothing came about it because we have this little game call Black Ops II set in the future. That whole premise of them only being able to do past games is void and stupid.

Regardless, I know or have a very strong feeling that Treyarch will not be returning to World War II even if the option was there; and they've shown more progress than IW in their trilogy. In the span of four games IW went from near future to ambiguous distant future. In the span of three games Treyarch went from World War II to the Cold War to a sc-fi future setting also taking places in the eighties. To just go back to World War II just for the sake of it would be detrimental.

Unless they were going to portray WWII in a different light not seen before, like maybe with some sc-fi or fantasy elements it ain't happening. But the real reason they would never do a proper authentic WWII game would be the multiplayer; you just could not have the same experience in that setting without the killstreaks and gun cameos and attachments and what not.

Still I also know doing a Black Ops III would also be a detrimental decision; it's interesting to see them they up to the challenge, especially if Adanced Warfare turns out to be just as plain and simple as it's likely to be.
