Call of Duty WW2: Everything we know so far

Call of Duty: WWII will launch November 3 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Those who pre-order will gain access to the upcoming multiplayer beta, although there's also an argument to be made for playing the waiting game, as there are likely to be some pretty tempting CoD bundles available during Black Friday 2017.

While the big reveal isn't coming until E3 in June, we do have a few tiny details regarding the online multiplayer. Players will partake in brutal boots on the ground combat across some iconic World War 2 locales.

One big new feature is Headquarters, an all new social tool allowing for creative modes of multiplayer interaction with your PS4, Xbox One and PC buddies. From what we've seen, it's a lot like Destiny's Tower or a hub area in Blizzard's World of Warcraft. Either way, it's nothing Call of Duty has done before. Say, for example, you've just prestiged for the first time. Headquarters is the perfect place to boast and celebrate, especially with a few friends along for the ride

Next up is Divisions. This changes the way you engage with your multiplayer career. Players can choose from a variety of different ones including Infantry and Armored Divisions. These will presumably come with their own individual perks depending on your rank.

Finally, we have War Mode. A multiplayer experience that aims to immerse the player in iconic World War 2 battles. Allied and Axis powers will clash in team-based skirmishes where gaining objectives is the key to victory. It sounds much like Battlefield 1's Operations mode, where a contextual story inspired by real events is the drive for each battle. If true, you can expect these to be longer than your usual team deathmatch.
