Call of Duty 5.
As long as it takes place as anyone but United States and not Normandy, I'm satisfied. I still have yet to see a decent WWIIFPS as Canadian soldiers. I

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.

To be fair, Vietnam was extremely...shall we say morally grey? A game that faithfully recreates the Vietnam war would make Call of Duty 4 look like Mario Brothers from a morality point of view.
Imagine it, your teammates are psychotic maniacs and civilian-slaughterers. Your enemies are invisible (which greatly contributes to the random and wanton slaughter of unrelated civilians) and the entire REASON for being in the war is iffy, at absolute best. The entire existance of the vietnam war is a huge argument for the ultimate futility of war itself.
Not to mention that the government covers up as much bad stuff as possible, successfully keeping things such as heroic actions AND mass-murder hidden at the exact same time for 20 years.

Then again, a game that made you feel sick to the stomach for being part of the horrible bunch of maniacs you're part of would be REALLY interesting. So it might work!

I think alot of the reason for a lack of Vietnam War games comes down to the fact that American producers don't want to re-create a war that they didn't win.

Why not do a World War 1 attempt but from the ANZAC'S point of veiw. Or has it been already done?

lol amen.

I don't really care where the next game is set, as long as they don't screw around to much with the flow of the game. I didn't care much for the single player campaign, and it dosn't really matter where you play in multiplayer..

I hope they consider using Euphoria:
http://www.naturalmotion.com/euphoria.htm

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.

That's a good point, allthough I guess what they will do if they use euphoria (at least thats what I would do) is to blend euphoria and pre-programmed action. In other words, euphoria should only be used whenever you interact with the bot, like when you shoot or push it, not when the action is something that the bot is actually supposed to do (like saluting you in the start of a mission etc.) Only using euphoria would result in unreal and, I guess, "sloppy behaviour". It should rather be incorporated into only some aspects of the game, untill we have something that actually acts and behaves like a real, true person would.

Well even though most are talking about single player, I really hope they don't do that stupid unlocking system like they did with CoD4, I don't know why everyone liked it, maybe they were just blinded by hype, because it had so many obvious flaws that it was ridiculous that they kept it that way.

Also, so many guns were unrealistically nerfed because of it.

Oh btw, I didn't notice that "backbreaker" video if you scroll down a little, it kind of answers my question and shows what you were talking about.

 

[nothing to say]

ALL ACTIVATION DOES IS MAKE SEQUELS!
for example :
cod
tony hawk games
guitar hero
to name a few
im not saying cod5 isn't going to be good but it's going to be pretty much the same game as cod4 even if the game takes place in the future or theirs some new "twist" that they add to the game.
I think they should stick with cod4 for another year or two and come out with more DLC

 

[darthgareth]

NO MORE CODS!!!!!! I can have fun untill I die with COD4

 

[x434343]

More CoD's give more opportunities to things like an answer to "What happened to Capt. Price in CoD4" and "OMG JAPS NO EXIST!"

 

[The Desert Rats]

I also think they should do World War I.

Wouldn't that be a little boring? Sit in mud for a few months, then go over the top and die. How very fun. Though like someone else said there where also other fronts.
Ahem.

There is still a lot of WW2 that has not been covered by game designers.
What about the Norway campaign?
Fall of France?
Early stages of the Desert war? (Brits vs Italians)
If game designers did not concentrate on having their games filled with Americans they could make a very interesting one. Not that I have something against the Americans, which I dont)

Also, I hope CoD5 nerfs grenades a little bit. I mean... Jesus Slutmuffin. I don't think I ever got killed by anything but grenades or sniper rifles in CoD4 multiplayer.

Totally. I'm absolutely fed up with nade spamming bitches and snipers, but then again, it's part of the game so what are you gonna do? I'm all for servers that ban the noob tube, but banning martyrdom and especially last stand (which requires skill to be used effectively) is a bit petty.

Wonder what kind of upgrades there'll be in COD5...

Around the release of CoD3 an agreement between Activision and the guys that made CoD3 was made. Activision would make the games with even numbers (CoD2, CoD4) and the guys of the infamous failure that was CoD3 would do the odd numbers (CoD3, CoD5).

I consider all of Activision's CoDs to be brilliant (CoD1, CoD2, CoD4) and CoD3 crap.

Call of Duty 5 will be crap.

Call of Duty 6 is probably already in the making and will probably be good, but less good than CoD4, which was less good than CoD2.

Anybody see the Battlefield series in this? First one was revolutionairy, second one was the best, third one (meaning CoD4/Battlefield 1242) was okay but a failure in comparison to it's predecessors.
