Call of Duty 5 back to World War II

Story By Jay Filmer


Thought Call of Duty 4 meant no more WWII? Think again

Those of you who enjoyed the latest Call of Duty’s modern-day approach may be saddened to learn that Treyarch (the dev team responsible for three, and, who will quite possibly end up doing seven) is taking the series back to World War II for the fifth game in the series.

Well, that’s if a job ad on the Treyarch website is anything to go by.

The ad, which is for a level builder, in case you’re interested, doesn’t give away any concrete info as such, but after asking for applicants with “working experience with First-Person Shooter or Third-Person Shooter genres”, does go on to add, “if you’re a fan of World War 2 shooters, then even better!”.

http://www.gamer.tm/news.php?id=1848


See, that's why i never liked Treyarch. Cause they blow hard. The next Call of Duty should taken place in the future. Infinity ward'll do it.

This is one of the dumbest gaming decisions ive seen not involving Sony. They gained a assload of fans with CoD 4, now they are gonna go back to an unpopular setting with an inferior developer. People who dont know much about gaming who liked CoD4 will play this and be disappointed, and wont give Infinity Ward's next version a chance.

Indeed, I've seen a lot of discussion about Call of Duty 6 around the web because people have totally discarded CoD 5.

The word that springs to mind is generic...again.

"Hey guys! The modern setting was a great setting and probably helped push COD4 to be one of the best selling video games of 07. So let's go back to WWII".

Won't be buying it.

What a pity...I guess some people don't learn from the mistakes of other franchises or there own.

Won't be getting either. The reason I got and liked COD4 was because it was so different from every other generic shooter out there, and then they go back to the cookie-cutter crap?

Yeah, no.

Also, CoD 5 isn't developed by the same people either as CoD 4.

Totally disagree with you on that one.

COD4 was exactly the same as all Call of Duty games. The difference is that you play with M16's instead of Thompson machineguns and it has helicopters in it. The story was also pretty good but Call of Duty 4 is still another shooter. Just an extremely well made game.

I probably wont buy this one, but I'll play it though. There doing what they did with Call of Duty 3.

come on! lets see some civil war COD laughcry

The people doing COD5 were the ones that did COD3, which i never got into. Loved 1 and 2 though. And 4 of course. Especially 4.

I played those 3 all the way through with satisfation. Part 3 was meh. maybe it's because i was so use to playing 1 and 2 on PC and that when it went to the xbox and became multiplatform i subconcously had that "now everybody has this game, geez" mentality. I honestly wanted it to stay in the PC and keep it as the PC's jewel. Not a huge fan of ports.

But then i played COD4 for the 360 a liked the game alot. I personally think it's the best call of duty game in the series. But what a way to plummet from being the best fsp on the market to making probably and potentially, the most unplayed and/or unpopular game in the genre.

But people'll still pick 5 up just cause it's COD as if the video game industry isn't already saturated with WW2 themed video games, forget fps's.

I'll try the demo, but i dunno. Something better drastically change to convince me otherwise. like incorporate Hitler into the game and make him the last leader.

Or add bizzare secret nazi weapons and aircraft the likes never seen in any video game.

And make the nazi army playable in solo player mode.

not really a difficult task...every level would involve standing in a line with a load of other men...infront of a line of a load of other men...aiming...shooting

would probably be fun on the wii...having to reload with by pouring gunpowder into the gun and packing it down with the stopper...hahaha

ok..perhaps not

Do you these people in live in a box? I'm so sick of WW2 games.

I think people are pretty tired of Nazi's and Hitler trying to dominate the world.

My nazi body count is definetely in the 6 figure bracket, and it all started with wolfenstein for pc.

But now it's time for new prey. It should've been time since cod3 actually.

If The Patriot managed to not be dull I'm sure IW could do it too.

COD future warfare?

Battlefield already tried that, didn't work out that well.

If they don't include the new online options (es.custom profiles/weapons set) than they will be doomed to fail.

Ugh, this bums me out. The only WW2 campaign that CoD hasn't touched on is the Pacific, so I'm guessing we will be island hopping.

i like how everyone is slating the game before even getting so much as a sniff of it

THis is really disappointing to me cause I got really sick of WWII games after COD2 and didn't even bother to try COD4. Then I tried COD4 and loved it.

I'm not slating the game, just the premise of it. WW2 has been so overdone on all platforms that I'm sick of it.

oh great...so it will be call of duty 2 part 3.

there's an extra $60 in my pocket

Agreed.

cod.... zombie.. warfare

I wonder if you take the time it takes to play through all WWII games and put it together, would it exceed the length of WWII?

Probably not.

why dont they do a future war game. like world war 3 with new and more innotive weapons.

that would be the smart move

Basicaly Red Alert 2 in FPS form I guess.

It would be like Red faction.

but alot better

make the nazi army playable.... hmmm..... imagine making a very futuristic game where you just lay back, have a beer or two, launch a nuke or two...

I like modern warfare.

you know what WWII shooters need?

Dinosaurs with laser mounted canons and a bigfoot ninja clan. Thats what WWII shooters need.




I would play the shit out of that game

Edit: Oops. mmm

I would seriously get this game if you could play as the Nazis in single player campaign.

Seriously. The chance to kill Canadians, Brits, Americans, Brits, Polish, and Aussies is just too good to be true.

I dont think its that retarded to change the setting, I think its more retarded to continue the same game.

They should keep Call of Duty series on the lay low for awhile, because another Call of Duty, even if its a modern setting will become tired and outdated.

They should start another franchise, or something different. I dont think I would be excited to play another Call of Duty game.

I really hope that Infinity Ward will head up COD 5 and not go back in time to WWII. Biiiiiiiiig mistake, if you ask me.

That's too late, it's already confirmed that CoD 5 is WWII and not by IW.

It makes you wonder, why do they makes these awful decisions?

It will still sell well.

I dont understand the big deal about this. It will still sell well.

regardless I won't be getting it, in fact COD4 is the only COD game I own or have played, and I think it shall stay this way.

We are tired of playing WW2 games.

Well...I really liked COD 1 when it first came out on xbox, it really made me happy. Then I really liked and bought COD 2...didn't buy COD 3, but borrowed from a friend and beat it, nothing huge but not bad. I bought COD 4 and it was great, loved it. Odds are...I will probably buy this one too...especially if you can play as a German.

The thing is that the difference between Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4 is purely the setting.

It's still going to be a great FPS, no matter the setting.

I actually think the game would of been great if IW did another WW2 shooter, but with update graphics. I would play it.

unless they can simulate the thousands of soldiers on screen at once in D-Day I'm not buying it

That would be epic.

Then it would be dynasty warriors of the future.

You can say that for any FPS, though. Most FPS's follow a similar forumla. The biggest differences is the setting. Instead of a barret on a rifle.. you have an energy sword. Instead of a single shot rifle you have a sniper rifle, or a carbine.

Very rough translations, but you get my point.

I'm sorry but not really.

Halo is different than Call of Duty. They dont follow the same formula at all.
The only thing that is the same with Halo and COD is that you shoot people, but the game is completely different.

The difference between Call of Duty 1, 2 and 3 and COD4 is pure setting. Some modern guns and helicopters and instead of shooting a turret in a modern plane, your shooting planes down in an B-17.

I think they should stick to modern(sequel) or switch over to vietnam(jungle). Either way i still trust that Treyarch will make the game somewhat good.

If they call of duty 5 ain't a sequel to cod4 then cod6 will.

vietnam would be a better idea ermm

desert storm or atleast let us play as terrorist in modern warfare

They would never make a game about being a terrorist.

Not going to happen. Just look at the title.

Maybe as a German but thats highly unlikely.

Where is it confirmed that its definitely WW2? If you're going by the job description in the first post, I wouldnt jump to conclusion until theres an official statement. That job description could be for anything, it doesnt specify CoD, they could be making a WW2 game as well as another CoD game. Unlikely, but still, they havent confirmed anything solid.

So, it seems like they confirmed it will not take place in WWII: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6190641.html?action=convert&om_clk=latestnews&tag=latestnews;title;0

Simply a "new" setting, what could that be? Vietnam, Korea, something?

We shall know more when we get closer to the deadline.

But its a different theatre.

And the article doesnt state that it wont be in WW2, but an entirely different theatre.

Which would make logical sense that it could be the Pacific War, or Vietnam, or just completely new like COD4.

Yeah, that might work out well. And I guess it would also give them a lot more freedom, as that part of the war is not as well known for the Average Joe/Jane as the European deal.

No, that's true, but it also could hurt them because people are less likely to enjoy it if they never knew about the battles.

Personally, if a developer was going to do a Pacific War game, it would be cool if they used the CryEngine 2 for it.

Co-op and vehicles, sounds like they just want to be like Halo.

Well, I'll wait and see how this goes on, however I think it's safe to quote Obi-Wan here:

"I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror."

Haha, nice.

hmm

cant say i'll be purchasing what shall hereby be referred to as "Call of Duty fail"

I dont think the spinoffs earlier and CoD3 being done by Treyarch were a bad idea, because back then the series wasnt really a main stream AAA title, it was basically a PC hit. Now after CoD4 has blown up to Halo/GTA levels, I think this is a horrible decision. There will be tons of players who just started with CoD4 who are gonna be massively disappointed.

So I'm guessing this will not be installment #5 but sorta like a spin-off? Either way, I think we should give Treyarch a chance because they will be using COD'4 graphic engine and they had at least 2 years to work on it.

NO MORE GODDANG WWII GAMES!!! There are too many of those.
Call of Duty 5 should have been left off after the events in Call of Duty 4.

i want a shooter where time traveling soldiers with futuristic weapons end up getting stuck in the civil war or some ancient civilization. That is a better idea than revisiting WWII again

Agreed

Maybe a CoD game where they visit all the major wars? In one game pay a visit to the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, WWIII, only problem is that this would be a way to big project for one game, still would be nice though.

I got a question.

What the **** do people want for CoD5?

The general mood seem to be "not WWII".

I have no problem with it being WWII.

Only as long as I can hunt down and kill Americans, French, British, and everyone else who stands up to the Nazi war machine, including those who don't, like the Jews.

Medal of Honor, Brothers in Arms, CoD, and then whatever smaller games are set there, we are just sick of it. They have been making games longer than the actual war lasted.

So we have now an futuristic shooter that copies every Halo clone, or how about an modern day setting shooter that copies every tactical shooter out there.

People complain that there are too many WW2 games out there, but there is just the same amount of modern day, and futuristic shooters out there too.

I dont really care what war its set in. If its good, I'm going to play it.

If Infinity Ward does it, your not going to play it just because its based on WW2?

That's a very good point, Smas.

I think that the shoot-em up genre is really overdone right now. People are running out f ideas, and rehashes of the same game with a different title are coming way too fast.

I, personally, want to see another good RTS or Oblivion-esque RPG for a console. No more shoot-em ups though.

Modern day and futuristic settings arent nearly as limited. WWII was a 6 year(I think) period, and we have already seen all the big moments in multiple games. You can do a number of different scenarios in the modern day, and the future has endless possibilities.

I dont have a problem with shooter games in wars just as long as it isnt based on WWII. I prefer the wars you see on Halo, or CoD 4.

Seriously, CoD 5 should be a sequel to Modern Warfare. The plot can be that someone has taken Alazan's place as leader of the terrorists or something.

I probably wont get this game since it takes place in world war 2, I'm so tired of the genre

I hope they make another modern warfare game like call of duty modern warfare 2

I totally agree with you. There is probably more modern day shooters than WWII. On top of that, none other have done the pacific side of WWII(besides the MoH Pacific assault) so it will be something new.

Shoulda been Vietnam, imo.

The thing about having a futuristic setting in a shooter game is that the possibilities are endless. From weapons, scenario's and even social commentary. WWII has no room for experimentation. We have all fired the weapons and driven the vehicles used in WWII all to much. We have all lived the desperation of the allie forces ad-nauseum.
Now, if someone had some balls to break away from the WWII template and try something different as far as being able to choose sides and decide the outcome. It may be worth revisiting again. I know several games have tried this, but it has never quite worked. Resistance; the fall of man, is the best example of this.
I do agree with you, though, FPS games in general are redundant, but having games set in modern times or in the future offer much more variance than a WWII game, i believe.

I do agree that WW2 as a setting is stale, but if a company can make a game that is really good than I'm going to play it.

For me, as a history buff, playing battles that I could never fight in, or witness or be part of from another side of ocean is something that intrigues me. I like the idea of playing in somebody shoes 68 years ago, fighting in a famous battle that will be remember 200 years from now instead of generic Iraq level with stalls with fruit on them, BUT I HAVE A M16 with grenade launcher on it, no game has that gun!!!

I like to see what people had to go through back in the 40's and how crazy it was. More intriguing than Halo 10: When Aliens Attack Again, or another original IP that rips off James Cameron's Aliens marines.

What I would like is a developer like Infinity Ward use the Crytech2 engine to make a WW2 game. That would blow my ****ing mind.

I agree, that it is surreal playing a war game where the battles are real battles of significance. The thing that sets good WWII games apart from the mediocre and bad are of course gameplay and graphics, but even more so, i believe, is the human factor and history involved. The original Medal of honor games were incredible in that manner. Starting each mission out with actual footage.
I forget which game it was, but i remember storming the beaches of normandy for the first time in a video game and it was memorable.

I do not know why WWII is such a point of focus for historically inspired video games though. I guess it is because they are lucrative. As much as we complain about them, we will still buy and play them if they are good. I am infatuated by the history of WWII, but as a gamer, i would like some flavor. Call of duty did a great job in their WWII games. In Cod 3 they were able to get the voices from the HBO series, Band of brothers, and write a script for the characters which would be believable coming from their mouths at that time.

Personally, i believe one of the reasons developers constantly choose WWII as their backdrop is because it instantly initiates a connection with the gamer, especially American gamers. WWII is glorified to Americans from as early as the sixth grade in schools. It is an incredible underdog story and the situation is already known. The developers do not have to waste time on writing or character development. The gravity of the scenario's you play through in WWII games are already known, they do not need to be explained through story or introduction, just a quick briefing by the SGT. I think any developers which base their games in WWII need to start taking a more cinematic approach and introduce some character development. It is all about the fun factor at the end of the day though, but no matter how fun a game is. If it has the same control system and backdrop of a dozen other games. It is hardly memorable and that is why FPS games, WWII games especially, need some more writing. COD 3 hinted at making that leap.

Well I hate to admit it, but Call of Duty 4 is exactly the same as all the other Call of Duty games.

It's not the setting that makes WW2 games stale, its the abundance of developers making them knowing that people will buy them no matter how shitty it is.

Look at Brothers in Arms, a great WW2 shooter. Personally, I loved being able to play the D-Day invasion as a squad leader who can move his units around inside a world that is almost exact replica of Normandy in the 40's.

I rather play that than a game set in modern time where you shoot Arabs and looking like Black Hawk Down. How many times do I have to go near a RPG'ed Black Hawk.

I would have loved to see someone trying to make a realistic World War III game, they could for instance follow the Red Alert 2 plot (minus the supernatural stuff). Start the game as either Allies or Soviet, fighting in Washington, New York etc etc either as attacker or defender, and as the war progresses, we would move the battlefield across the world (say if the US are winning, the beginning of the game would take place in the US, moving eastward to Europe, and then finally crashing down on Moscow etc).

Ya know what was cool? That game that came out recently about an alternate past where the Nazi's beat Britain and were invading America. It was called "Turning Point: Fall of Liberty" or something similar. The game itself was crap, not even a good rental, but the storyline's awesome. I'd either like to be the Nazi's myself, or maybe fight them in a different setting then the usual beach head/destroyed French cathedral/ pacific island. Fighting Nazi's or Americans through San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge or through New York would be awesome if done right.

And Smas, I don't really understand how shooting the same Arab next to the downed Black Hawk with your M-16 a thousand times is really any different from shooting that German bastard who's defending that anti-aircraft gun with your single-shot rifle a thousand times...

I didnt say its not different.

My point is that people take WW2 as a stale genre, while modern shooters are just as stale, but the historical advantage that WW2 provides makes the game more enjoyable for me.

Because I rather fight a historic battle than a fictional one.

Ah. Yeah, that makes sense. I'm the opposite, but to each his own, yeah.

I just like good games. I'll rent it, see what it is like, and might buy it.

Did anyone see the game trailer? It was on Xbox live Marketplace for awhile, if not you could find it on youtube.

Graphics looks okayish.

I saw it. Looked good graphics-wise, but it isn't interesting me.

The graphics are using the updated version of CoD4 engine so its going to be the same graphics.

Its just really dark in the trailer, but I think the graphics are going to be awesome.

Hopefully it doesnt turn out like MoH:Pacific Assault. The Pacific War would work really well with multiple branching paths, and not strictly linear like all other CoD games.

Like I said before, the Crytech Engine 2 would work amazingly well with shooters based on wars.

I might rent it. Looks like it's going to suck. Sure as hell not going to buy it for a flame thrower and climbing a tree. If I see enough stuff to impress me it's a slight possibility that I'll buy it. But I'm so tired of WWII it's not even funny. COD3 I didn't even bother to finish playing it bored me so much, I think this will be better but I don't have high expectations. I wish they would've kept up with the modern stuff. Heck I would've even settled for a Red Dawn scenario, a few years back I would've never thought killing Nazi's would get old. I was wrong.

I will most likely buy it, personally, I still really enjoy the WWII era. Especially now they are doing the Pacific Assault. Should be epic. I love WWII games.

I do too.

My favourite gun is the Thompson from Call of Duty.

When will I get to sit in a Kønigs Tiger tank and kill some allied dogs!

Heh this should be nice though, and yes cry engine 2 would be very ideal for large scale war games.

Nice look at the Co-op gameplay: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/38101.html

But considering the recent announcement of Call of Duty 6 being released in 09 made by IW I might just skip this game altogether.

Just rent it.

10 hours of gameplay on a rainy weekend.

Anyone excited for this game? I know some of you guys have are not too fond of WWII and Treyarch but come on admit it. It looks damn nice.

I actually prefer the new WWII theater.

NO MORE WWII GAMES!!! It's the same ******* thing every time! The same enemy, the same weapons, the same vehicles! Stop it already or I'll go WWII on your butts if I ever get the chance!

You think WWII is over done? Look at how many modern day shooters there are.

In modern day shooters your enemy isn't always the same two races... dressed the same way.

Game doesn't look bad, though.

Nigga I don't care what color or outfit the people I kill are.

But yeah, looks alright...For Call of Duty I mean.

Meh. I do. I want to be a Nazi killing jews and British Soldiers. Perhaps there can be a mini-game where you raid a village or small town and you get points for shooting fleeing women and children in the alotted time.



Inaccurate US WWII movies = win.

But srsly I'd like to be a Nazi or Japanese soldier.
