Call of Duty 5 official name and additional details confirmed |
Listed in: Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Treyarch, UK, World War II
Ó
It looks like the some of the rumors surrounding Treyarch's Call of Duty 5 actually have a ring of truth to it. Inside the latest issue of UK magazine GamesTM, videogaming247 was able to confirm some of the finer details of the upcoming wargame title (officially dubbed as Call of Duty: World at War).
For the first time in the Call of Duty series, it was confirmed that there will finally be a co-op campaign mode. In addition, there will also be vehicles and squad-based elements included in the multiplayer aspect of the game.
Call of Duty 5 will return to its more historical roots as the game will be set in the Pacific theater of World War II. As for which platforms CoD5 will be released on, it was revealed that it will ship out on all the major consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii), along with its obligatory PC version.
The Wii version of the game will have a different team working on it, though. The most likely reason behind this is the fact that CoD5 for the Wii will make use of its own set of peripherals, such as the Wii Zapper. However, all the available platforms will have one thing in common - the rehashing of the Call of Duty 4 engine.
To give you an idea of how "gritty" CoD5 will be presented, here's a quote from taken from videogamer247's source about it:
The opening scene of the first level we are shown is a Japanese commander stubbing a cigarette out in the eye of a prisoner before slitting his throat - the blood splatters and dribbles down the side of the tent you are being held in. He turns towards you to deal out the same treatment but help arrives just in time. Cue a daring level-long escape.
More information on Call of Duty: World at War will be revealed later this month, so make sure to come back to this space for more updates regarding the latest iteration in the Call of Duty series.

"Hey! Modern Warfare sold MILLIONS!! Better not make that mistake again!"

That's just my opinion though... Perhaps COD5 multiplayer might end up being much better than COD4 Mutliplayer.

Anyway ill prolly still be playing COD4 on my PC what with new maps being released by nVidia. The main thing that puts me off this is the WWII theme it was over 60 years ago isnt it time we move on?

Also they are adding flamethrowers which is supposed to fire the most realistic fire ever seen and water is going to paly a mjor part in the game.
As for multiplayer, there are going to be small squads and there will be team perks.
All ai all it looks good, lets hope treyarch can live up to infinity ward

Anyway, I might buy this, but I'm really just waiting for Killzone 2. It seems that Treyarch only knows how to do WW2.

Since this game has a subtitle it leads me to believe it probably won't even be an actual title but more of a spin-off. Either that or they simply wanted to drop the silly numerical subtitles.

To be honest COD4 gets old after a while. If you look closely, the graphics are horrible in some places as well. Most of the textures are low res rubbish even on HD, things like clouds look like they were drawn in MS Paint (literally) and I only have fun playing in Private Matches with friends. It's a good multiplayer game at first, and it has a robust story, but it doesn't deserve the endless praise it's gotten.

I myself welcome the return to WW2, I love the weapons, and I love the stories that are told. Now I know people say ‘o not another WW2 game’, but have you ever stopped and thought for a moment, and thought about other games. How many RPG’s are there that involve you having something/someone you love taken from you and you have to set out to get it back. How many alien based shooters are there, how many driving games are there.... the list goes on. It doesn’t matter about the setting. So people before you bash a game and suck up to infinity ward, please think about what you’re saying before you make a fool of yourself.

Maybe they could make a completely tricked out version of battlefield 2142 with CoD4 engine

Now, as to why CoD3 sucked so bad and what turned me off of Red Orchestra after a major patch/upgrade: VEHICLES. It's utterly no fun to play a first person shooter when you round a corner to an awaiting tank spammer. Great, instead of a battle of wits, skill, perception, and luck, I stand no chance whatsoever.
This is how Infinity Ward displays its utter genius: put in vehicles but don't let the players ride in them.

CoD5 will sell like hotcakes riding on the coat-tails of CoD4... I'll cast my judgement on Treyarch's Duty5 when we actually see it and play it.

I like games like Metal Gear because Kojima productions can come up with their own story, set it in the future, and make it damn good at the same time. When in this game.. the developers just read a history book and copy it onto the game. Boring..
Come to think of it, IW did their own story set in modern time in an imaginary place lol, and it turned out pretty good.

So yea... all you guys shouldn't get your manthong's up in a bunch; IW is still working away... who cares what Treyarch does, if they make a good product;yay.

Oh and does it really matter if the graphics suck in some spots? It's still one of the greatest looking games to date.

And quite frankly I simply disagree with your opinion.

COD4's locations were HEAVILY based on real-life events (Iraq is obvious, Chernobyl and Russian areas are too) so it's not completely imaginary.
I don't know where MGS came into this, but ok.
Reply
But anyways, in my opinion its boring (mainly because of the weapons) and overdone. And Mgs came into it to show the story differences (and that its coming out in 2 days!).

*spoiler* some guy slits someones throat. it mentions lots and lots of blood as you can imagine. then the guy goes towards you with the knife......*end*
pretty dramatic and a promising start.
COD4 engine should mean this to be the best looking WW2 game.
@NarooN
Textures are low res and a lot worse compared to Halo3s extremely high res textures. But its still IMO the best looking FPS. Halo3's textures kills the framerate.
if cod5 has splitscreen online like halo3, then its a must for me.

They obviously wont come out at the same time.. i'm just saying the next IW-CoD isn't affected by what Treyarch is doing so i don't know why people are complaining.
