Pacific region? Gritty and mature?
Really?
After how good and understandably successful CoD4 was, I just can't see this being anything other than a poorly-handled cash-in. I also wonder how much it pisses off Infinity Ward to have their franchise abused like this.
The next Call of Duty is subtitled World at War and developed by Treyarch.
It will feature co-op for the first time in the series and is heading to PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, according to the first details - spilled from the pages of GamesTM magazine and read by VG247.
The Nintendo version will be handled by a separate developer, we're told, but all will be built on the Call of Duty 4 engine.
Call of Duty: World at War is set back in World War II amid the Pacific struggle between the US and Japan.
Content is said to be as gritty and mature as any game around. Apparently the opening shows a Japanese commander stubbing a cigarette out in the eye of a prisoner before slitting his throat and turning to dish out a similar fate to you. Is that gritty and mature enough for you? Is it?
There's no word on a date just yet, but word comes off the back of Call of Duty 4 managing to sell over 10 million copies and retake the top-spot of most-played game on Xbox Live from Grand Theft Auto IV.
Look out for our thoughts on Call of Duty: World at War in the nearish future.

And this will most likely be so mediocre
Goddammit.
I mean look at the blurb: "But help arrives just in time"
NO DAMMIT.
NO HELP ARRIVING JUST IN TIME. WHY RUIN AWESOME?!
So, this one I expecting to suck, then CoD 6 will be awesome.
More brown and bloom?
They should be spending their time making a sequel to that game instead of pumping out more Call of Duty: Generic Editions.

With no imagination or inventiveness. That I can remember, the only thing they've done right in recent years was the web-swinging in Spider-Man 2. That's it.
And even that was apparently dropped for Spider-Man 3.
Basically, they have a mediocre reputation, their last CoD game wasn't well-received, and when IW have changed the setting away from WW2 and made the best game in the series, it smacks of franchise rape to have the other guys go back to WW2 for their next game, in a series that is having to have annual releases.
There is nothing there that fills me with confidence or enthusiasm.
edit: caveat added!
Who knows?
I don't see the appeal of any of these games.
But like SilentCoconut said--if the multiplayer works like CoD4's, it might be worth a look.
Like 7 times.
Anyway, COD3 wasn't the best game ever, but it wasn't complete shit. I don't think COD5 will have much chance of ever getting close to as good as COD4, but I'm not going to outright dismiss it entirely just yet.

It revealed a few interesting things about the game
We'll have to see how it turns out. But goddamn that paragraph makes it sound like its turning into RE.
It's really not a terrible game. For $10 it might be worth a look.
Just remember that you must buy CoD4 at any cost.
COD4 is great, but I already have it on the PC.

BUY IT AGAIN AND PLAY IT MORE.
I do occasionally contemplate getting the 360 version for the online play, but I haven't even given the PC version's online play much of a chance. I guess I don't play online like I used to.
Maybe they'll go all Harry Turtledove on us.

The Call Of Duty games made by Treyarch never existed.
COD 4 is actually COD 3, COD 6 will actually be COD 4.
This way the franchise will forever be thought as awesome.
And we were always fighting Eurasia.
"Last time you were in that boat. Now you're in this boat, the one to the left. See? Brand new level!"
Speaking of CoD4, I rented it just to experience the story, which I thought was real well done. As for multiplayer... I thought it sucked to be honest. Mainly because of that whole level system they had. I, as a brand new player must play with shitty weapons, no perks, and not even a sight to help me aim. Against other players who have the most powerful weapons, more grenades, abilities that let them drop grenades when they die or even still shoot me, and have laser scopes for pinpoint accuracy.
Yeah... No.
Uh oh.
Oh... well there you go. :oops:
10 bucks they still put it in somewhere.
It's a long distance D-day event that requires you to cross Asia and flank them from behind.
Well I remember the Pearl Harbour level from Rising Sun was a suitably impressive opener, but the very next mission descended into Blandville.
Obviously it's not the same series or developers, but if they wanted to go with a spectacular opener, then that'll probably be it.
I dont know. With COD4 I think the public proved it can discern quality. Sure, COD3 sold well but that was the first 'non canon' COD as it were. People will see COD5 without hte Infinity Ward logo and I think be wary. Especially when word of mouth will spread it over Xbox Live.
This also frees up Infinity Ward to spend more time on whatever they are doing next. COD6 perhaps?
I'd love to see them just go into the near future yet and make Call of Duty 2142.
It would be the best thing.
...
Who else needs that to be created in order to feel fufilled in life now?
Really, all that Infinity Ward needs to do is pump out Call of Duty games in a variety of different settings. They could make so much money from a Warhammer or Starcraft Call of Duty game.
