Tally ho, thou shalt be pwneth by the sword of Sir Aramias Wolf Bane!
On a more serious note: It might work but it would be difficult, the bows couldn't be uber strong otherwise the purpose of swords would be pointless. There could be horses but they are in areas were you must mount them and attack from a horse has reduced damage.
If you had magic it couldn't rape every enemy from long range, if you were a wizard or bowman you would have less health than someone wielding a sword or other form of Melee weapon.
As for the levels and rankings perhaps if you got to the max level/rank you could be titled King or Lord.

The point of CoD is that you're Shooty McAsshole liberating various other Shooty McAssholes of small bits of brain. If you take away the Shooty part, you're just a button-mashing asshole with a sword, in which case, third-person would work much better. Why would you want to see the same sword-swinging animation taking up 30 percent of your screen, button-mashing your way to victory? Even CoD fans shouldn't see the point of that.
No America wouldn't even be founded yet so their campaign would be out. Also it would go against the name call of duty. No government to call you to your duty. Finally you have taken every element out of the call of duty games. It would be like making guitar hero a real time strategy.....with no music.
Will never happen, why, because there were no americans in the middle ages so cannot be made overly patriotic, like every single Cod game has been...
Also cod is a shooter, your limited to bows, and crossbows, and throwing metal things, and possibly flaming arrows in middle ages, and how do you upgrade a bow and arrow,
no, just no...
Could work but definatly not on the cod engine, would need to be built from the ground up by people like oblivion makers with a hyper realistic engine which could compensate for armour density, bleeding, horse riding, sharpness, speed of swing of sword and enemy ai when swords and arrows are involved, maybe a possible hardcore game for the new motion sensors, i could see it on the move, the cod engine just couldnt make this work expecially looking at its present meelee capabilities...

Thinking about combat mechanics for something like this I had an odd idea using the basic idea of a swordsman with a med-long sword and a sheild.
Left trigger brings up your shield right trigger swings the sword. For 2-handed weapons the left trigger acts like a block but you still revive some damage.
Flaming weapons remove wooden shields but not metal.
Weapon range is the effective reach you have while using it.
Spears and the like have the highest (melee) range and does major damage but is precise and slow.
2-h swords are really slow but do massive mid-range damage, accuracy not really required.
longswords are the middle ground weapon average in all ways.
I think I'm thinking way too much into this for a theoretical concept.

Yes, it could be about the first crusade...
But they should completely drop the perks and make it like it was in CoD2.
In fact, they should do that for all CoD games.
They should also drop the instant melee kills, why else are you wearing that heavy armor?
Except maybe when you get decapitated (which should be very difficult)

No. The melee in COD is pressing one button and stabbing a guy. A game based on that would get petrifyingly dull really fast.
A medieval first person game would be cool, but no COD. It's like saying "Would half-life be cool if it was third person, took place in modern day, you played as a guy called Nate Drake, platforming is very important, and it's PS3 exclusive?". That would be nice, but it wouldn't be Half-life. It'd be Uncharted.
