Well infinityward DID advance the series to "Not just another WWII series" and with WaW, it dragged them back down there. If anything it will be another MW, or maybe even an advanced warfare which would be awesome.
I'm sure your imaginary opponents find you very clever.ElephantGuts said:Why are people discussing COD6? Shouldn't we be looking forward to COD 5 first?
Now I sit back and wait for someone to say "COD: WAW was COD5 stupid!" to which I will respond, "Really? I didn't see a 5 anywhere in the title." to which they will respond "Well it's understood to be COD5" to which I will respond "Really? Like COD: Finest Hour was understood to be COD2? And then COD: Big Red 1 was understood to be COD3? What does that put us up to now, COD7? COD8?"
Which is EXACTLY why they aren't numbering them anymore. They were getting into the Resident Evil territory of fucked up game numbering now. World at War is considered the "official" Call of Duty 5; its working title was even "Call of Duty 5," and Modern Warfare 2's working title was "Call of Duty 6."ElephantGuts said:Why are people discussing COD6?

And considering that Activision decided to drop the numbering on Call of Duty games, they can now "fuck up the cannon" however they like. They can go freely from WWII to Fictional modern warfare as they damn well please... what's next? Call of Duty Weapons of the Future with lasers and plasma grenades and Orbital Airstrikes with giant beams of light.willard3 said:Finest Hour was not numbered because it was only based on the original CoD. Big Red One actually had a 2 in the title (way to read, there), but apparently it's a sequel to Finest Hour, not CoD 1. Oh and you forgot Roads to Victory for the PSP.ElephantGuts said:Why are people discussing COD6? Shouldn't we be looking forward to COD 5 first?

Bottom line, the games that are released on all major platforms (besides the original) are considered part of the main series, while console-only or handheld-only are considered spinoffs. WaW is on 360, PS3, and PC (and Wii too I suppose), so people are calling it CoD 5 (including me). Now if they release an actual CoD 5, I'll shut up, but I haven't heard anything about that.
Well considering that a "cannon" is a type of gun, I don't see how they can fuck it up unless they pull a Pariah.Kraven Angelous said:And considering that Activision decided to drop the numbering on Call of Duty games, they can now "fuck up the cannon" however they like.

Yes I meant canon, typed double N there by mistake :s but anyways, there is a reason why I put it in quotations, they took out the numbering to stop people from saying "Wait, what about all the other titles? Isn't this call of duty number 8? Like someone in the early posts wrote.willard3 said:Well considering that a "cannon" is a type of gun, I don't see how they can fuck it up unless they pull a Pariah.Kraven Angelous said:And considering that Activision decided to drop the numbering on Call of Duty games, they can now "fuck up the cannon" however they like.

Oh wait, that's not what you meant.
If you mean CANON, then well, there isn't a cohesive story connecting all the CoD games except the broad overarching "it already happened" thing called World War II. So unless the Modern Warfare games try to connect with one another, then there isn't any "canon." Besides, it's a military shooter; to paraphrase Yahtzee "You're over here, bad guys over there, KILL THEY ASS."
And to head off the "stop bitching at Halo because its story sucks" counter-argument, Halo actually claims to have a story, where CoD freely admits to just giving you scenarios that you fight through. CoD 4 was the closest one to having an actual story.
No, sorry but your post came almost a month late mate, the new one is going to be Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. And Treyarch will probably cling to WWII shooters until someone from Activision realizes that the entire Treyarch development team should be put into a container and dropped into the pacific ocean never to be seen or heard of again.sequio said:Call of Duty 12: The Space Program
amirite?
The next COD will probably have something to do with the Cold War.
I second that, CoD 6 might just jump to the fucing future (Since the IWard never ever stops and does what treyarch does. Goes the safe way, the safe BORING way.) CoD 6 i hope wont rip off what has already been done, see Crysis and Fallout 3. Do NOT pull us into Korea...and do NOT put us into nuclear fallout. Remove bombs, never go to Africa(like Far Cry 2) and start making a new world war with WHITES against WHITES. or at least the "White Countries" if you know what I mean. Not being rascist here.Kraven Angelous said:No, sorry but your post came almost a month late mate, the new one is going to be Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

For the better part of CoD4 you play as the British. I also remember playing as the British in CoD 2 aswell. You usually get to play as the Russians aswell.CrazyNick said:They should make one where your British forces rather than Americans, I'm tired of games portraying the Americans as the only people on the allies side in ww2No offence to any Yanks here.

I'd point out CoD WaW, but as you say, this one will be by infinity Ward. Hopefully they'll listen and take it somewhere else where we'll never have to shoot another nazi.nikomas1 said:Well I think the next CoD (Infinity ward, not the sidekicks)makes will be semi futuristic, I mean after the success with modern warfare you can't step back can you?
Well you can but I hope they won't.
Ya that and martyrdomLancer723 said:CoD: WaW is enough like CoD4 to make me think that the next installment would have to be recommended by God for me to buy it.
Either that...or it removes the grenade launcher from the game and throws it down into a feiry pit of death where it will burn for all eternity.
