Call of Duty has always incorporated cinematic elements into its gameplay.
But if the Call of Duty story were adapted into a movie, it would just be a run-of-the-mill American action film.
Unless the movie were shot entirely in first-person, it wouldn’t have anything unique to offer.

if they’re smart (unlikely) they’ll do a WW2 movie, Cold War movie, Modern Warfare 1 and 2, and thenZombie which will be hinted at in all previous movies[/spoilers]
the problem is that the main villains can’t be the Nazis/Commies/Russians/Terrorists but will have to be some new super secret bad guys behind the scenes, using them as their “henchmen” for decades
also mixing the “Treyarch” Lore with the “Infinity Ward” Lore would be a difficult task (unless they’ve already done it some how) but I think it would be necessary to get the characters across the series right

Ideally just its own new story with the COD4 characters, anything else and were in for a Capeshit quip-a-thon shitfest, which is almost certainly going to be the case since the suits are completely out of touch at this point.

It's going to be like the MW games where there's ostensibly a plot but it's really just an excuse to string together a bunch of "cool scenes' and hope to god you don't think too hard about what's going on.

Because a holding company bought the adaptation license fucking decades ago and after Mario made over a billion at the box office they're desperate to rush these to production since superheroes are on the way out.
I remember hearing about a Call of Duty movie back in the 00s, fucking Dwayne Johnson was attached to it.

If it follows multiple protagonists from multiple sides of the war like with the series's original gimmick then it could at least have something. Otherwise the best it can hope for is to be a dumb fun action movie. I hope they go Schwarzenegger style rather than Michael Bay.

I want to see this absolute russian unit on the big screen going from fighting in WW2 to becoming a meme in black ops.

On the bright side, I don't see that one ever happening. If there's one thing you can count on Valve doing, that's nothing. The only thing I'm bummed about on that front is the TF2 animated series they were gonna do for Adult Swim, but never actually did.
I think the only video game movie I've enjoyed aside from the original Street Fighter movie is the Postal movie. I genuinely think casting the world's worst director for a Postal movie was genius.

It's outright impossible doing No Russian nowadays anon (even more so with russia and ukraine [the metro threads are a great example of this]), even Activision didn't commit in the reboot trilogy why do you think some hollywood fraud has the balls to show civilians dying by the dozens on screen

It's weird to think over the decades this would mean completely different things. 20 years ago it'd be a WWII movie. 10 years ago it'd be an Iraq war movie with a cast of white former WWE wrestlers. Now it's probably gonna be a weird celebrity cameo panderfest set in the near future.

I think it's really telling that rather than anything interesting people want to see adapted from the video games, it's just shock value shit.
At least people got excited to see Yoshi in the new Mario movie and not have its threads talking about a scene where Mario bounced off him to leave Yoshi plummeting to his death.

I mean what really can COD bring to the table in terms of story for a movie?
If it goes WW2 then its an average WW2 action flick, if it goes Zombies its going into wacky campy stuff, if it goes Black Ops its going into some bullshit propaganda cospiracy and if it goes Advanced, Ghosts or Infinite Warfare then its just an sci-fi action flick.
Call of Duty campaigns aren't epics, they're rollercoasters.

It's Call of Duty’s most memorable and infamous mission, sure there are better and more iconic but No Russian is part of the franchise's DNA
Of course a CoD player would want to see if the CoD movie does adapt it or not

It will be MW and BO3 mixes, the drone shits and with a fictional country having all the tech to invade another forcing US to intervene. BUT it will be better if it adopt the CoD Ghost story where US is fucked up

Video games are inherently already cinematic in nature. A game offers you both gameplay and cinematic cutscenes that, when combined together, basically already make a film to a certain degree.
The reason Hollywood can't into video game movies is simply because the large audience for said things, gamers, want the story they were already told and writers, in Hollywood, want to deviate, leave there own mark on it, subvert expectations.
Now, they easily could do this while keeping the core story in tact, but they don't because they're not gamers.
Halo: Forward Unto Dawn was a great Halo movie because it explored the UNSC, had new characters we didn't know, an enemy we were familiar with, and then it gave us clues/context to the broader world through teasers of ODSTs, ONI, and then later Spartans. And when Master Chief shows up, he's like Freddy, not the main character, but a force that helps that helps the protagonists on there journey. Now compare that to the Paramount series which had John, butt cheeks and all, being an idiot and a terrible soldier.
