The upcoming shooter Call of Duty WW2 aims to bring a breath of fresh air to the series – also in the multiplayer mode, which is enhanced by elements from Overwatch and Battlefield 1.
The developers at Sledgehammer Games apparently drew inspiration from the competition to give the multiplayer a fresh look – specifically from Overwatch and Battlefield 1.
Elements from Overwatch
Call of Duty WW2 adopts the Payload mode from Overwatch. In the shooter, you will escort a tank, which you can also enter to eliminate the attackers with its gun. However, there will be no “Winning Kill”. Instead, players will compete to be featured as “Play of the Game”. Therefore, those who contribute the most to the match will receive this special honor.
Battlefield 1 also served as inspiration
Dice’s Battlefield 1, on the other hand, served as inspiration for the “War” mode. This mode closely resembles the “Operations” from Battlefield 1 and will offer a kind of story. You choose whether to stand on the side of the attackers or defenders. As an attacker, you must accomplish a series of objectives, such as building a bridge or destroying anti-aircraft defenses, as well as destroying the enemies’ supplies. As a defender, you should prevent the attackers from fulfilling these objectives.
Call of Duty WW2 makes use of the class feature from Battlefield 1. The divisions in the game offer unique archetypes that rely on special abilities. One of these is the bayonet charge, which players may already know from Battlefield 1.
Call of Duty WW2 will be released on November 3.
