According to a confidential source close to That VideoGame Blog, Activision has been pursing licenses for Vietnam War-era music, as well as Cuban, Soviet Union and African music. The publisher has also confirmed that Treyarch will be the developer for the next Call of Duty title after Call of Duty: World at War senior producer Noahr Heller was brought onboard for the next game in the series. This maintains Activision's usual trade-off between two studios as Infinity Ward is developing Modern Warfare 2, to be released in six months.
That VideoGame Blog continues to point out that Heller himself told Official Xbox Magazine that Call of Duty: World at War was the last World War II title in the franchise.
"I won't let your readers read into the comment too much, but we are showing the final battles of the Pacific and the European Theatre and that lets us put a close to the war. I'm sure game companies will be making World War II games for years to come and World War II is a very classic war. But we're happy that we put the war to bed."
When asked what Activision made of these reports, they replied with the usual "Activision doesn't comment on rumor and speculation."
Great game, I enjoyed it and still do. Glad to see we've moved away from WWII now.
Tour of Duty, anyone?
First, they are making the games very quickly as apposed to the first 2 (and to an extent the first 4). This is one reason the single player plot to CoD: WaW sucked. I understand they are marketing the console first, and that only makes sense if they want to stay alive in this economy.
Second, I hope they revisit the WWII scene in a few years (like 3+) when they have a new game engine and are able to do interesting things like deformable environments and air units, or just a bigger game universe where maps are not so restrictive.
I suppose it is to everyone's taste, and that you have to appease that fast paced CoD gamer, which I am as well, but I just don't like say never.
I would disagree that the single-player game in World at War "sucked," but would offer that when compared to Modern Warfare, it paled. Then again, when compared to Modern Warfare, most games pale. Cannot wait to see what Infinity Ward will offer with Modern Warfare II.

You can sign up there and they'll have you shipped off in a month or so max. Get this, they'll give you your own uniform, housing, food, and a gun for free! If realism is what you crave you cannot pass these two up. The US Army will even give you lump sums of money if you do!
Because there is real, and there is real good.

crysis wasn't system demanding, it was poorly coded. Two different things. And if you read before posting, you would know how they are able to make games so fast.
