'Call of Duty 5' Details Revealed

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Monday, June 09, 2008 7:42 AM

New details have leaked out about Call of Duty 5.

British gaming magazine GamesTM, the iteration of the first-person historical shooter will be called Call of Duty: World at War and is set within the Pacific Theater of World War II. Supposedly, it allows for co-op, a first for the series, and vehicles in multiplayer. The game's opening scene reportedly features a torture scenario in which a prisoner eye is burned with a cigarette (wow!) and blood is liberally splashed.

Call of Duty 5 is slated for a fall release on the PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Wii and Nintendo DS.

Shack News:  Report: Call of Duty 5 Set in WW2 Pacific Theater, Features Co-op and Multiplayer Vehicles

Cool enough. Hopefully people will pick it up, and not skip it to wait for COD6 when they bring the series back to the present.

With all the success of Modern Warfare, why on earth would Activision want to go back to WWII games???? This is an OVER SATURATED MARKET....way to shaft the fans of COD4.....idiots!!

After CoD2 I was burned out with the WW2 setting. I got 3 out of a love for the series and never bothered to beat it. 4 is alright, but I don't think it's up to all the love it gets. I think I'll passing on this one. Not because of the setting (though that's a big argument against it already) but because they already seem to be going for shock factor over anything interesting. Make sure you don't talk about level design or why I should buy my 500th WW2 shooter, talk about the liberal amounts of blood and torture. Way to phone it in. And does anyone else see this opening scene as a desperate bid to copy the supposedly shocking intro to CoD4? Lame.

I've never played any of the previous entries in the COD franchise... But I still play COD4, Double XP was fun this weekend. I don't think that I'm going to start playing in WWII with this one, Think I'll just wait til COD6 comes out...Seems like a step back to make a WWII game.

LOL, this is by the same people that made COD3, the game whose existence was not acknowledge by the COD community. COD3 didn't even have a multiplayer, what a joke. They're just milking the title name for a little extra cash. If it's not infinity ward, it won't be acknowledged as a real call of duty title.

Although I also like Call of Duty 4 and wish that they had stuck with the modern era, I'm going to AT LEAST learn more about this game and give it a try, rather than just dismiss it out of hand. The COD 4 engine + vehicles in multiplayer + fighting in Japan COULD be interesting. I'll see...

Gaming is just getting too corporate. Tossing another game in the series out there just to turn a buck is flat out stupid. Shooters are getting pathetic with this. The only one out there that's shown anything half impressive is Gears of War 2 and even that isn't getting my hopes up because the first was a massive let down. CoD needs something new. I don't want it to stick with modern settings either because that was pretty much done to death in CoD4 (I mean really, what else can they do?) but to go back to a setting that was played out 5 years ago is pathetic.

Go ahead Ubisoft, throw in the promise of co-op, vehicles, and cigerette eye-burning. But that doesn't mean it's a good senario. Except for that cigerette thing, that sounds AWSOME! Mabye it burns out half the screen.

what else can they do? go to future warfare? maybe an xbla game? I figure, let bungie make halo until people are sick of it. let square make final fantasy. let infintyward and treyarch make COD.

these companies are doing what they excel at and leave it to another developer to come up with their own new ip. would you rather infinityward do a COD RPG? or maybe like a COD fashion game. I'd rather get an FPS from people with experience in FPS's

If it holds up like CoD4, even though the main selling point was it's modern, then i think it'll be good, even if it's WWII. The main reason i find it different is that it's not germany or any part of europe, it's japan. Believe it or not those are 2 totally different wars.

@lazyteabag-
You stupid lazy bag of tea, Infinity Ward also made Call of Duty and Call of Duty 2.

COD4 is their 3RD Call of Duty game.

You're information is obsolete, as well as your opinion, seeing as how Call of Duty (the original, which Infinity Ward also made, in case you didn't hear me the first time) won over 80 GOTY awards. GOTY = Game Of The Year. You know, the same award that Bioshock and God of War 2 and Halo 2 won. The most coveted award in video gaming...

Do you get the point?

The only thing that Treyarch can put in this game that will make it at least a 2 out of 5 is the ability to call in a nuclear bomb if you get a kill spree of 20. Unfortunately you AND everyone else on the multiplayer board dies....

I'll wait for the REAL COD developers' next version, not the knock offs that made COD3.

Activision: "Great job Infinity Ward for making the best selling game of 2007, and one of the highest rated of 2007. The COD franchise has a ton of reverence with the gaming community, and they see it as a pinnacle of FPS gaming.
So, we have decided to return to WW2, put Treyarch as the developer, improve on nothing, and shove it out there in order to milk every last dollar out of the franchise. Enjoy seeing your creation turn into a cashcow."

Do we know if Infinity ward is doing the game or are they going back to the company that did 3. If that is the case or even a new company it is going to be worthless i thought they would learn that by now. People loved call of duty 2 and 4. Call of duty 3 is horible. Hopefully that is just a flash back to WWII to start the game and give the setting but the game plays in the present. Well we will have to wait and see.

I don't even know what to say. It was a mistake to not pick up infinity ward and it's a mistake to go back to world war II...end of story. Infinity Ward is what made CoD4 so great...those guys really knew what they were doing. I didn't even play CoD3 because I was sick of WWII...and that hasn't changed. I will not be buying this game...it might warrant a rental if I hear good things. Even the fact that it's being released on PS2 and Wii speaks volumes to me. They're gonna be kicking themselves for a while this fall methinks.

you're kinda being a jerk. you obviously can't handle somebody else correcting your mistakes either. so here's another:

jarhead is a movie about marines. anybody who knows anything about the military knows that marines aren't "soldiers." only members of the army are soldiers. you learn that in jarhead?

don't base your concept of reality off of a movie.

I've never played a COD game, so you can't call me a fanboy of the series.

I just like for people to have correct information.

Also, the idea that your opinion on a game is absolute for everyone is a bad way to go. I like to read reviews before I go buying a game I know nothing about.

Also, about that comment you made about Jarhead:
Awesome movie. Sort of reminds me of Full Metal Jacket, another awesome movie.

"Men do not win wars by dying for their country. They win wars by making other men die for their country."

"The Commanding General of the Air Force is still an airman. The Commanding General of the Army is still a soldier. The Commanding Admiral of the Navy is still a seaman. But the Commandant of the Marine Corps is d#$@ proud to be called Marine."

mmmm good quotes. I saw the first one while dying in COD, but never heard the second one.

and I never thought about it that marines are the only ones who retain their branch of the military as their name.

it could be that they were originally part of the navy and they were called after their division, much like seals and green berets, but still retained it after becoming their own branch.

Activision wants to make sure that there is a new Call of Duty game released every year as they are taking the EA approach to game releases. Unfortunately for them, It takes Infinity Ward too long to make each game so they hired Treyarch to make games in the series as well. I think Call of Duty is the only series that actually has two different development teams. It seems that for the foreseeable future, Infinity Ward will be making every other release in the series. There is no reason to get too upset though. Nobody is forcing us to buy this game and Infinity Ward's next game will probably release next year. I hope Call of Duty 6 does future warfare. Maybe something about century from now.

I would love to see a Vietnam version of the series. You could have the Americans, NVA, Viet Kong, and even throw in some French troops (doubt they would fight much).

WWII games have been made for several years longer than the actual war lasted.

Modern Warfare was a grand slam.

In order for the next COD to hit the parking lot, they need something brand new that has been overlooked in their department. I feel Treyarch is going to give it to them. They did it in COD3 with the grenade throwback.

The game itself may be a flop (I will rent this to test it), but the innovations might make 6 that much better.

How's about a WW3 COD???!!! Not so distant future with slightly more advanced weapons, nothing too far fetched like laser guns. Fight in a blown-up Paris, defend America's resources, etc. I'm sure they could create a story around some vague far east country with a tiny dictator, middle east countries thrown in for good measure. And they better include a better clan-based online system more like SOCOM's!!!! COD4 online is good but could be SO much better.

I think a WWII game set in the Islands of Japan will be a fresh breeze compared to all the Nazi killing we've all done. Throw in CoD4's graphics and online multiplayer, and we got ourselves a possible GOTY.

I think vehicles are something that will revolutionize CoD5. There will have to be bigger maps and if it plays out kinda like Battlefield, I think it will increase the fun of Multiplayer! Who else has been tired of that stupid sniper camping of a hill where you can't get to him? Hop in a Humvee and bring 3 of your friends for some Camper Bashing! (Also, character customization in terms of looks and camo/baggage would not be amiss)

I didnt think they would switch to WWI and WWII gameplay again but anyway im not sure this Call Of Duty will be to great nowing how they didnt put much time into it, but i cant say anything thing because i havent played yet. Hope its great, but i might just keep playing COD4 still even after this is out.

Why do they love WW2 so much! Why don't they make a WW3? I hope that information is wrong!

Alright, for all of us that have loved CoD4, we should give this a try. I mean look at the graphics of CoD4, the best, and CoD5 will be no different. It'll also have Co-op? Even better. This game could become great, We don't know all of the facts yet, so lets not point fingers. But, going back to WWII might change some minds of CoD4 lovers, but you never know, there could be some great surprises in the next game.

i Think that it is a gimmc trying to tie up loose ends. 3 of their games took place during the european threatre of the war. now they want to come up with the pacific side... in my opinion they should of done this at maybe the 3rd call of duty game. Especially since they went to the mordern warfare. If i want the same game might as well buy meadal of honor pacific assult....

Reading all these comments just made me realize something, im the only one hyped up for this. If they put as much attention to this as they did to CoD4, it'll be a shoe-in for Game of the Year(depending on what year it comes out)Come oooooooon good multiplayer.

I think it would be too soon to make another modern COD, it would probably play out more like a big DLC, instead of a whole new game. To the guy that thinks battlefield is the next COD, I've been playing Battlefield Demo, and man it stinks. I hope COD 5 keeps the intuitive gameplay of COD 4 because the flow of COD 4 is what makes it such a good game. I also hope they do a better job on vehicle controls, and overal feel, than Battlefield Demo has. I know that the WW2 genre is saturated, but to be honest over the past year the modern and future warfare genre has been flooded too. SOCOM, Battlefield, Endwar, Frontline, COD4. I think we all realise as gamers it's not what you do, but how you do it. Look at Boom Blox simple idea executed superbly = good game. Then you take Haze good idea executed poorly = bad game.

Finally a WWII game where you can fight Japanese soldiers. Medal of Honor made a WWII game in the pacific, I hope call of duty make it better.


By the way I am not really sure if Japan will appreciate this game.

I just want to say that everyone who is excited that it is a new Call of Duty game is being foolish.(this is here because I'm forbidden to write this because apparently a period and a space aren't enough to keep peoples minds out of the gutter,way to go G4) It is not the brand or publisher that matters. It is the developer that matters and Infinity Ward is not making this one. That is why it is going back to WW2, Treyarch dose not care what direction Infinity Ward wants to go. It is just another pay day for them, an easy one at that. I hope they don't ruin this and turn it into the next Madden.

@kryptoid, and bonerjamz '03,

vietnam war theatre would be pretty sick in my opinion! i agree with you guys, i was really hoping treyarch would announce a vietnam cod 5, while infinity ward sticks true to modern with 6. A sweet vietnam fps is needed of since im sooooo sick of WWII. after shooting an m4 and barret 50 cal, i just cant go back to the thompson and well......whatever sniper we used back then lol

I will skip it... I had enough of WW2 FPS. I don't care if the game is going to look as good as COD4. It stupid and it's not worth going back too. After finally getting a great modern FPS, why go back. Not a good idea at all.

@-Halomugen89

Thank your grandfather for his service. My comments is only based on my personal choice of game, not against anyone involved with the war. There are many WWII games, and I was really happy to finally play a game with a more modern feel. I hope this trend continues. I think that another WWII game will hurt the COD franchise.

LIGHT GREEN MARINES AND DARK GREEN MARINES are what you are called in the Marine Corps, and to the dude earlier that thaught the Marine Corps was once a Navy unit well thats not true, the Marine corps has always been it's own branch it's just a department of the Navy, somebody has to protect the fatass Navy! I'll tell you what we say in the Corps...

THE MARINE CORPS IS A DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY, THE MENS DEPARTMENT!!

And this call of duty should "MOST DEFFINITELLY" be made, All of those Marines (not f#cking soldiers) and sailers should get the honor they deserve since they did fight the toughest battles of WWII, and thats a fact!

This game will be great, the Island hopping campain, Iwo Jima here we come to raise the flag on mt. suribachi...OOHRAH!!

cod5 is going to be good no very very good 1 thir is going to be vehicles agan like cod3 oyea and 2 thir r makeing this cod game the first co-op ever. Im a cod fan my self and i love cod4 but thiy could have workt on a few things put in vehicles, make it so u can put more things on to your guns. But what im trying to say is just give cod5 a try it might have some stuff u may like that cod4 dont have:)

No gameking2084 i think that vehicles well make cod5 good if u havet played cod3 thin u should yes thir a lot of "out of level gliches" with the vehicles if thats what u r saying but im shur that thiy well fix all of that like i said if u have not played cod3 thin go pick it up. The vehicles make it more fun with the game play i mean how many good games do u play online with a tank comeing up on your a$$ when ur in a hum-v and u get blast to the other side of the map with your team mates and all u can think is "WOW THAT WAS A BLAST" give it a try.

This game is set in WW2, so it is most likely going to suck, like all of the other ones did that was set in this time period, because who really wants to play in a game that is older than your dads , dad what fun is that.

Look guise, let's admit it, there aren't that many great WWII multiplayer games. I think what they're trying to do is go back and add a great multiplayer aspect to their great WWII era of the franchise. Smart move, I mean, there is only one 'real' competitor, and that is Battlefield 1942, and how old is that game now? Great game or not, some updated graphics, maybe perhaps some new gametypes, vehicles, and Call of Duty 5 looks to be quite promising.

I'll be looking forward to it myself personally. I'm expecting good things out of this.

Going back to WW2, ahhh the memories. I think it's a great idea, but I think they should leave out the perks. If your good with the weapons, great, but if you'r not, there shouldin't be anything to make you better than what you are. Perks are sorta like built-in cheats. Back then it was all skill.

Just when they finaly break out of the endless and repeative chain of ww games and give us modern warfare they take it from us and put us back into the world wars again,im so tired of fighting the nazis and japan unless im going to be indiana jones in a fps i dont wanna do it anymore,What happened to veitnam? or are we going to be like other countries and act like it didnt happen?wow they threw a sword,flame thrower and tree climbing into it,i give the game a week till it gets just as repeative as the others we all been playing since medal of honor...I'll pass WW is played out there was a time that it was real fun to kick hittlers ass and it had great stories those guys should be honored,but now i wanna trade my springfeild in for a sr25 and keep it that way.

I cant wait for this game to come out. I love the cod 4 physics engine. Wow a WW2 game built from this can only be amazing. I for one think of a good shooter as being fun. Modern Warfare games are a bore, theres is just too much firepower for them to hold my interest. WW2 is the best era for FPS games. And to think this game will take place mostly in the Pacfic theatre where some of the most hellish fighting took place. My hope is that they can capture some of that horror in this game. I cant wait to turn cod 4 into a coaster.
