New Call of Duty Doubles CoD4's First Week Sales
by Chris Faylor, Nov 18, 2008 8:25am PSTTreyarch's wartime shooter Call of Duty: World at War has more than doubled the week-one UK sales of Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4, GamesIndustry reports.
World at War arrived at retailers last week, hitting two more platforms--PS2 and Wii--than Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which was released on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS. The PS2 edition of CoD:WaW was developed by Rebellion, while n-Space handled the DS editions of both CoD4 and CoD:WaW.
As GamesIndustry and UK sales-tracking firm GfK Chart-Track did not provide a specific per-console breakdown of World at War's sales figures, the effect those additional platforms had on its retail performance is not yet known.
After Infinity Ward created the first two Call of Duty entries, Treyarch was brought on to co-develop the series as part of publisher Activision's "leapfrog strategy" for annual releases. Treyarch handled Call of Duty 3 while IW prepped CoD4, with the series creator presently working on Call of Duty 6 for a 2009 release.

...But by the same token, they named the game "Call of Duty" for a reason. If you bought call of duty 5 (World at war) and you expected it to be so completely different and new and wicked, isn't that logic backwards? I mean, if you buy apples and you want a new flavor one day, why would you buy another apple?

Also.. so sick of you guys complaining about WW2 games. Seriously, just STFU. Every Call of Duty: WaW article. I mean honestly the only thing more tired than a WW2 game is you guys bitching about another WW2 game. We should start banning this shit. It's just one big troll after another.

It's not a straight port of the 360 / PS3 ones, but a stand alone game.

"We were soldiers. But we were not men yet. None of us knew what we were getting in to, we were just serving our country... yadda yadda yadda
We get it. Spielberg put this thing to bed a decade ago, why do game developers feel the need to make everything so cinematic when it's been done a hundred times (better) before?

And here it is... Different setting, but core gameplay all the same.
I wonder though why they never did any COD4 DLC. Like extra campaign, some 3 missions or whatever, about 1 hour to play - would be cool.
As for COD perpetually reincarnating - might be good, especially if the multiplayer evolves accordingly. Cool and very cinematic (feels like a movie, doesn't it?) single and awesome multi and it's a win combo.
