Interesting. A CoD movie has the potential to go either way. It could be intelligent and well made like Infinity Ward games, or it could be annoying with constant action and explosions like Treyarch games.

I always thought the strength of CoD's stories were the parallel storylines. It showed that it wasn't just the Americans that were the heroes, the British and Russians got the same amount of time. I think if they didn't keep the multiple stories it would turn into another generic WWII story.

Though, will they be going WWII era or Modern Warfare? Either one would be interesting.

AWESOME . . . maybe even COD:WOW with ZOMBIE SOLDIERS . . .
my fam loves CALL OF DUTY games . . . I saw they're too bloody and gory BUT when I showed my son SHOGUN ASSASSIN after he played PROTOTYPE and ASSASSIN'S CREED, my son said SHOGUN ASSASSIN is too gory.

KIDS TODAY. CALL OF DUTY: THE MOVIE make it BLOODY and GORY and in 3-D where it looks like the brains of the soldier standing next to you fly onto your shirt.

FORGET the "scancity" and "loss of innocence" (Moralizing Liberal BULLC'AP that RUSH LIMBAUGH and GLAN BECK always complain about us liberal's whining about)

CALL OF DUTY needs BRAINS, INTESTINES, DECIPATIONS, DISEMBOWLMENTS, CLUSTER-BOMBS, SOLDIERS BEING RUN OVER BY TANKS, and pleanty of IED (ROADSIDE BOMB) casualities . . .

make CALL OF DUTY a Conservitive-REPUBLICAN WAR-HAWK'S WET DREAM . . .

(they say Soldiers returning from IRAQ and AFGHANASTAN suffer psychological fatigue and stress . . . any "Good America-Loving-Conservative-Republican-New-Confedacary-Anti-Obama" Soldier ought to know that's its better to die on the battlefield than to become a burden to other Conservative-Republicans)

CALL OF DUTY-- THE MOVIE:

SOLDIERS NEED TO COME HOME WINNERS or NOT COME HOME AT ALL!!!!!
SOLDIERS EITHER FIGHT UNTIL THEY DIE or they shouldn't be soldiers.

If anyone needs me to spell it out: I REALLY HATE THE IDEA OF "CALL OF DUTY" . . . how can people make a game out of killing other people with a bunch of weapons designed to inflict so much pain and suffering uopn another human being?

after the first sentence of GFTS said "zombie soldiers" my eyes rolled in the back of my head and I died.

This is being typed my pet Chimp, Chew Chew. Once done with this, he's going to tear my cheeks off.

This could definitely be really terrible. It has the potential to be good but only if they focus on the characters and drama rather than action and firefights.

Please, we really don't need a CoD movie, but I geuss any game that sells millions of copies will inevitably be considered for a film adaptation.

And lets be honest hear - the story campaign for CoD has always sucked, its the Multiplayer that sells the game.

They should focus on the American troops, make it a miniseries and call it Band of Brothers! Scream INNOVATION!

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. So they're making a war movie with a video game name. Why don't they just make a movie of a game people actually want to see. Arggg. Bunch this in with Spore and The Sims movies.

Call of Duty: The Film seems rather pointless. CoD is a great game, but the story nor have the characters ever been centeral to enjoying it unlike Halo. In fact, from what I know, no characters re-occur in CoD and it's generally just generic WWII plot. It's the gameplay that makes them fun, not anything else. This would more or less just be making a WWII film and calling it "Call of Duty" because it's already a popular franchise. I can say without a doubt, this would be the most pointless game to film adapatation to date until they make a "Sims" movie.
