In all seriousness, I've been waiting for an MMOFPS for YEARS. Planetside tried, but was inevitably a miserable failure (was the equivalent of trying to play Crysis now, without being able to pick up a new card at Bestbuy to help out).
It's not a hard formula...Realistic weapons/Vehicles like Battlefield, cities to fight over, maybe add in some destructable environments for spice, and then pit 2 (Like Horde v. Alliance) factions against each other...and bam... you are rolling in money.

I've been waiting for a good persistant online FPS for a long time, sure there have been a couple, and Huxley is coming but nothing would beat a CoD game of this nature.... well... maybe Battlefield ;)

oh god no. How bout put all that cash into an engaging single player story line, one that's longer than 8 hours and includes, say, RPG elements in it. CoD 4 is a spectacular game, but it mostly shines in the multiplayer area, which I feel is the easier of the two. Make the effort Ac-tards, I know you can do it.

Adding RPG elements could certainly extend a game beyond 8 hours, but that wouldn't be a quality 8 hours. I prefer my progress through a game to depend upon my SKILL, not how many hours I spend grinding.

I just keep getting the feeling of "Hey that WOW stuff makes you guys the money. Now that we own you, lets use that idea with every other property we own."
I'm thinking we'll have oversaturation within a couple of years. Take those great properties and ride them into the ground. They already did it with Guitar Hero.

hey i sent this in and didnt even get credit for it!
oh well, wont be the first time.
anyway, this idea seems great for an all out war style game like CoD. put CoD elements in a WoW sized world and you have urself a pretty interesting concept right there. especially since the CoD series has made quite the name for itself as of late.

Good job! *pat on the back*
I dont know how I feel about this. I feel that WoW is the devil and fear another game getting its kind of hold on people. To me a game should be in more moderation than WoW seems to command. Though I will admit it would be interesting to have a good MMO that pulled off what Planetside seemed to shoot for a few years ago.

You know how amazing CoD MMO would be? You choose a faction and go out and fight in battlefields against hundreds of players. It would basically be CoD4 with a giant map in a match that never ended. Probably the best thing ever. Although honestly, I don't see it being technologically possible at this point. At least not with servers that are WoW sized.

Ugh. I hate game development driven by, "How can I monetize my franchise investment" over "I've got a good idea for something fun".

I think its about time we had a darned FPS title that has you playing as an orc working for the government, sent to take out conspiring night elf parties in the depths of Isangard or something.
You and you fellow orcs have been equipped with bullet shooting clubs, which you can attach feathers to to work as silencers, if you must, you also have magical grenades which find your opponents and blow them up. While you are on this mission, you have elves firing at you and all sorts of other chaos.
Oh, and it should be MMO :) with the ability to collect money and items as you search for the conspirers.

Hey, I already play like that, but instead of orc, it's undead, and instead of Isangard, it's Ironforge.

Don't even think about doing that! WoW is a great idea. CoD is a great idea. Leave the two alone! One thing Blizzard has done well - maintaining creative control of their projects from start to finish. That is what won them such a great rep in this industry. Don't go and mess it all up trying some strange mash-up.
