The Windows PC version of Call of Duty: WWII is getting extra attention this year.
"The World War II setting, and this game in particular I think, is very well suited for the PC community, in the way some of the recent releases haven't [been]," Raven CTO Dwight Luetscher told PCGamer.
"We're really trying to focus on the PC, and more importantly focus on the PC community, and deliver a title that really matches their expectations for what Call of Duty is and should be, and make sure that we respond to what they want as a player. I think this year there's a renewed energy around the PC, throughout this entire title, both at Sledgehammer and Raven.
"We really believe this is the year where the PC is going to excel. This is the year that we're going to give it our best shot to win the hearts and minds of the PC community."
Call of Duty: WWII will launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on November 3.

Nah, I don't buy it. For years Activision has botched things with CoD on PC. I don't see how this one will be any different, and even if they manage not to screw it up, it will be a basic port job and nothing extra to go hurrah for.
You either screw it up and earn hate, or don't screw it up and get nothing (because it's meant to be the standard to release a good game that isn't broken), adding something extra on top of the usual standard will earn you praise, but I've yet to see Activision attempt anything of the sort.
Ehh. I'll believe it when I see it. - The open beta was mediocre.
- The set-pieces were uninspiring.
- Maps small and claustrophobic.
- Same old Game engine.
- Uninspiring graphics, everything is static.
- Full of hackers.
- Overpriced.
-
No dedicated servers.
Hopefully the single player is decent.
How to 'win the hearts and minds of the PC community':
-Use dedicated servers.
-Server browser.
-Community servers(servers set up by the players, like the old CoDs).
-Custom Rules
-Milliseconds instead of ping bars.
-Mods and provide modding tools for the community.
-Good optimization.
-No p2w microtransactions.
Judging by beta reviews on Steam, they failed already. Critique ranged from gameplay issues (such as level design) to porting issues (bad performance, subpar graphics).
Been playing the WWII beta and I can honestly say "if this is the year PC is going to excel, it's definitely not from your game" lol
Raven once made X-men Legends a superb game and one of my favourites. They now do ports of CoD games, they don't even get to make the main game.
Hopefully this is true and they deliver a quality PC experience.
the biggest Call of Duty-Community/Fans are on PlayStation 4 & the best sales figures again. the pc version.. my friends and i have zero interest.
Who cares what interest you have in the PC version? If you prefer PS4, that's fine. Play on PS4. This isn't a measuring contest.
Who cares if you have Zero interest, the article is about the PC version.
You have this pompous attitude of yours about the PS brand over everything else. Some here love to cite me as being a stuck up PC elitist, but here you are within 3 articles touting Sony over everyone else.
Seriously, this article has zero to do with PS4, no reason to toot horns of any sort.
Chazore dude, you just don't get it. Call of Duty, one of the highest forms of artistic impression that has never been a cash grab in the history of video games ever, sells the most on Playstation. It has the biggest community on Playstation. Ouya? Xbox? Wii U? No. Play.Stat.Cion.
Really shows the supremacy of the Playstation Nation.
