Activision has finally revealed the first Call of Duty:WWII trailer earlier and didn’t shy away from sharing plethora of interesting information surrounding the shooter’s campaign and multiplayer offerings.
Here’s what we learned about Call of Duty: WWII.
No health regeneration and no auto ammo refill
Both Polygon and IGN in their feature articles for Call of Duty WWII have mentioned that players won’t be able to get their health regenerated simply by ducking behind cover from enemy fire. Also players won’t be able to replenish ammo by picking it up from the ground.
COD WWII pushing for squad based gameplay
Your squad members are going to have your back, be it when you’re in need to be healed or when you’re in need of ammo. While the medic can get you additional health, your other squad members can throw you a magazine when you’re out of ammo. Sledgehammer has also mentioned that there will be additional abilities from your squad. Also it is possible to lose your squad members during battle, which could have an emotional impact on the characters.
You play as a 19yr old texan in the campaign
You take control of a 19 year old recruit from Texas, who goes by the name Ronald ‘Red’ Daniels.
Neither a trained soldier nor a superhero, Ronald ‘Red’ Daniels is just a regular kid who has traveled to Europe and handed over a rifle to fight by the side of other soldiers.
Two campaign missions detailed
Hürtgen Forest: An old forested part around the German border where the Allied forces would be facing devastating encounters. The German Army uses tree burst bombs which upon detonation sends a faceful of wooden shrapnel. The forest explodes around you sending down a rain of debris.
