Opinion: Should Call of Duty Be Made Into a Movie?

A couple of years ago, Call of Duty was announced to be made into a movie. If so, who should be the director and which CoD should be the film? For me it should be the MW series or Ghosts.

A video-game that's about nothing except shooting guns... being turned in to a movie that's about... nothing except shooting guns. Yeah, sounds like a real winner. And the video-game for the movie will be great, I bet.

What would be the point?

To look f*cking badass, bro!

there is no reason why it shouldn't be..

love or hate the RE films, they've been successful for Sony..

Hitman is being rebooted..

Michael Fassbender is bringing Assassin's Creed to live action

Call of Duty just needs a good actor, director and script

What is so unique about the call of duty stories that requires a movie? It's war...

Watch a war movie on first person? mmm

Maybe it can be some sort I'd supernatural war, where the soldiers can't die. They just keep respawning

I wouldn't mind seeing COD made into a movie. One of the best things about the game is how cinematic and exciting it's story mode is. I think it would be rather easy to convert them into films, provided of course that it isn't Uwe Boll making them.

The only cool story that might somewhat make a shitty movie would be Black Ops 1.

But thats it. lol.

Also a hacker character learns to hack into your suit/helmet that lets you never miss a shot and can see through walls.
And it wouldn't feel like a COD duty movie without the voices in their communication devices sounding like 10 year olds trying to sound tough and using cuss words . That has to be implemented somehow and it will feel like a genuine COD movie that is true to the source material.

For all the shit people give to call of duddy, i think their campaings are decent/good unlike shit like battlefield or medal of honor.

Yeah id love to see the new soldier getting his ass kicked simply because he's just started and doesn't have access to the good weapons... ✅

Or how about the soldier dying as soon as he spawns via weak sniper shooting his hand killing him...

They made HALO into a movie (HALO 4: Forward Unto Dawn), so in theory if they picked the right actors (or active duty military personnel) and had military advisors, then it could work. If the movie was filmed similar to Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan & Sole Survivor then it would work.

It probably would have to be a series of films similar to Star Wars or Lord of the Rings (in length). It would be really successful if the film/s had combat scenes like this:

War in my opinion have to be fought on American soil

Also nice bad taste in videogames. Not because you like CoD itself, but because you like it for how "cinematic" it is, lol. It's monsters like you that gave The Last of Us its undeserved acclaim.

No.
