Call of Duty 5

I also think they should do World War I.

umm... trench warfare? I don´t know about you but "Hold the position for 4 months!" doesn´t sound too exciting an objective to me. Also the main infantry weapon was the grenade... That brings incredible innovation to the multiplayer, doesn´t it?.

I'm not saying it would be the funnest thing out there, but it would be interesting the way they do it.

I can say I definitely wouldn't mind a COD game set in Vietnam. Why not do a Korean War version?

Just like in CoD4

I hope they consider using Euphoria:

I wouldn't mind a morally grey Vietnam version. But then why not do a Korean War version?

 

[Cousin_IT]

Coz the Korean war isnt something people remember & dosnt have lots of movies made about it for the publishers to market it as. + it was the war that general MacCarther almost started WW3 over & had to be publically removed from his post by Truman = making a game about a war that disgraced one of Americas great war heros

WWI was just a trench war in the western front. The eastern and Italian fronts for example saw some of the heaviest fighting known to man. There's a good reason why WWI is often known as "The Great War" you know.

The only way I'd accept it being about WWII again is if you play as a German. Since all other games label them as irredeemably evil bastards and steer away from identifying with them as human beings in a war.

Perhaps a German serving under Rommel? He was awesome. And imagine how the Normandy level would rock as a German. You empty your ammo supply on happless dots on the beach, and then retreat as they gather numbers and advance.

That's really cool and all but I don't mean to nitpick or anything - but do people in games using Euphoria really act that "wobbly and loose"? Their arms were like limp noodles, I can't picture someone "sloppily saluting" to you.

Cod 5 will be made by tyarch(?) so it could be in space for all we know.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Guys, CoD 5 estimated at Q3 '08.

Worse, they rehired fucking Treyarch. Expect a horrible game again, like CoD3.

However, they get a half cookie point for making it for all the consoles plus PS2 plus the PC.

Anyway, it's theorized it's set in the Pacific Theatre.

Activision also likes to milk their cows all the way to DS versions.

 

[Sigenrecht]

Mmm, CoD4 'was a shining example of good design philosophy in the piss-stained swampland of the gaming industry', to quote Yahtzee (albeit he was talking about a different game then, but let's run with it), and it's really disappointing to see that as soon as that brain surgery bought with the screams of frustrated 12 year olds and the whoops of frat boys finally paid off with probably one of the better FPS games of 2007-2008, at some conference meeting with Activision their heads of design must've been ambushed by Rob Pardo, Jeff Kaplan, and Tom Chilton, who then proceeded to beat the living hell out of them with frozen stupid.

to quote Yahtzee

Please dont..

Maybe these guys will look at CoD4 and see how they can fix it up, creating a totaly awesome WWII shooter.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Just how many WWII shooters do they have to make ??? I am sick of them ! The new CoD4 formula worked just fine so why would they even want to return to that time period again? Did they "catch" that MoH disease? Releasing 10000000 WWII titles and milking the war that everyone should try to forget? Well, if CoD5 doesn't give me the chanse to witness the Hiroshima attack, at least (something like the nuke in CoD4), I will consider it a shitty game !

 

[Froce]

Iwo Jima is gonna be harsh if(when) they do it.

 

[H0ncho]

I don't care where it is set. Just let me play the bad guys this time, OK? They have already let us play as one of Stalin's boys, letting us play as the soldier of some other crazy dictator wouldn't be that horrible would it?

 

[JakubK666]

Vietnam's not gonna happen.The game wouldn't be patriotic enough.

 

[TehLlamaFarmer]

I don't think I ever got killed by anything but grenades or sniper rifles in CoD4 multiplayer.

Amen.

Whatever happened to Vietnam? Why are game developers neglecting that Vietnam existed? Have you ever even seen Platoon? Make a game that stays faithful to that formula: sneaking through the jungles, convincingly rendered teammates on the brink of insanity, and intense firefights and village raids, and you've got a game that hasn't been done before on the current generation of consoles. If there's anything the CoD series needs, it's NOT another WW2 installment. Making the first decent Vietnam game for the 360/PS3 could be great for the series.

screw vietnam
what about the Falklands war its just the same as vietnam accept insted of everyone going bonkers they acctually achieve something!! oh and at the end you win rather than having to retreat after thousands have died.
oh im being different now!! but it would be great & it would be the first range war game(basically the equivilent of holding a midget at arms lenth)
THE CAKE IS A LIE

Lol yeah It'd be you as... Jerry Kohn, a guy whodoes absolutely nothing, gets 3 purple hearts, and becomes a washed-out senator.

 

[Jack Sheehan]

I'd like to see a korean war game, with you serving under MacArthur. The only game I can think of set in korea was mercenaries and that was a little...amoral?
