I know. But it haven't been his style in war films. He did want the creative control, so you don't what's coming. 

I mean we don't know that he wanted to pursue realism either. Personally, when it comes to producing a great product, I'd put Spielberg's judgement ahead of Activision's.

Well, I would do so too, but essentially this is promoting the game franchise, so I'd expect Activision wanting the film being more closely to what the videogames are instead of being a standalone film. I mean Spielberg would need to make 20 years of COD films to match the revenue one game in the series makes.
