User blog comment:AntiScootaTwo/Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare confirmed to be set in 2054/@comment-93.39.183.52-20140504150137

I really hoped in a WW1 game, set perhaps in the 1918/parallel universe (and playing with Germany would be so cool)

But future warfare is cool among gamers.

So they produce game set in the future. Now this is what the market wants. They haven't the courage to experiment a WW1 game, 'cause they fear it would be a nice flop.
