Report: Call of Duty 5 Set in WW2 Pacific Theater, Features Co-op and Multiplayer Vehicles
by Chris Faylor, Jun 09, 2008 1:53pm PDTThe first details on Call of Duty 5 have apparently emerged from the latest issue of UK gaming magazine GamesTM, revealing the game to be titled Call of Duty: World at War and set within the Pacific Theater of World War II.
Developed by Call of Duty 3 veterans Treyarch, the game will, as previously known, arrive on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS this fall. Publisher Activision had previously teased the title would take place in "a new military theater."
The Wii version is supposedly powered by the same engine that powered Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4 (PC, PS3, 360), will support the Wii Zapper controller shell, and is being handled by a separate team within Treyarch.
As further relayed by videogaming247, World at War will sport cooperative play--a series first--as well as include vehicles and squad-based elements in multiplayer.
The game is also said to be "gritty," with the opening scene showcasing a torture sequence in which a prisoner's eye is burned out with a cigarette before his throat is slit and "blood splatters and dribbles down the side of the tent you are being held in."
Job listings had previously indicated Treyarch might return to the franchise, with speculation that series creator and Call of Duty 4 developer Infinity Ward is already working on Call of Duty 6.

1) They tried to make it a movie. Stop taking control from me so that I can see your perfectly framed cutscenes. Do it like CoD2, where if I wanted to walk away from someone who was giving me exposition I could.
2) The forced in-engine cutscenes are made worse by bad writing and acting. "I tell ya, Sarge, I've had it up to here with you pushin' me around!" I was uncomfortable watching, and I couldn't walk away.
3) Infinite Nazis. Seeing 75 soldiers come out of a small bunker, just because I didn't move forward fast enough to trip off whatever in-game trigger you have to end the spawns, is lame. It takes me out of the game. This was a problem in CoD 4 as well, and is part of the reason that I stopped playing the single-player part.

Firstly, the SP won't even be that good.
Secondly, I wouldn't even want to try the MP, since it would stink in comparison to CoD2 with all the vehicles and of course the shitty unbalanced Japanese weapons, lets not forget those. At least the Germans had half way decent guns like the mp44 and the bolt action kar to counter ridiculous things like the thompson.
What would the MP maps be? A bamboo bridge amid a series of tropical trees? Yeah, that's very interesting.
And don't even talk to me about the vehicles, which are bound to be an unbalanced mess of morons constantly shooting at the treeline, hoping for kills.

"Hey I played CoD4 it was awesome, now i picked this CoD5 and it's shit, I don't think I will pick up CoD6" etc.
Come on.
I thought Infinity Ward did some deal Activision where only they would be working on and putting out the real sequels from 4 and on. Or something like that.

That said, I will definitely check out CoD5 since 4 was so great.

I'm officially boycotting "reproduce this battle" WWII FPS games. If you want to touch some something marginally original and interesting (say NAZI fascination with the occult--pardon me Wolfenstein), fair enough.
Rehashing the same crap over and over is going to do wonders for your dreaded rate of PC piracy and a just piss us off.
At least choose another conflict or maybe just create your own?

I hope they get burned and no one buys their game so they could make a true sequel to COD4.

I especially think the change is going to be jarring from going to the utterly fantastic 4 to what will likely be average 5.

I could have really gone for a far leap in to the future with COD5. Would have been fun.
The biggest selling point of COD4 is that it wasn't WW2.
WW2: :(
