-Frylock Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 A few things were confirmed by Activision today: -It will be released on PC and consoles simultaneously. It will NOT be a console-only game as previously rumored. -CoD5 will take place in a "new military theater". Where/what/when this is, has not been confirmed. -Since Treyarch is developing the new James Bond game, it is unknown if CoD5 will be developed by is Infinity Ward (CoD2, CoD4) or remain with Treyarch (CoD:UO, CoD3). -It is projected to be released by March 31, 2009 (end of Activision's fiscal year). -Rumor has it that the Pacific Theater is the new setting for CoD5.

spacer Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 2 things are required for me to buy CoD5. 1. It has to stay in the modern timeframe. NO MORE WWI/WWII era shooters. 2. It has to be made by Infinity Ward. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/635988-call-of-duty-5/#findComment-589387774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 God no, not Pacific, such a boring setting - Just stick with Modern! If it is Pacific, Alantic, Red Sea... w/e. Its gonna be good. Infinity Ward knows it stuff and is gonna make another one hell of a game. 2 things are required for me to buy CoD5.1. It has to stay in the modern timeframe. NO MORE WWI/WWII era shooters. 2. It has to be made by Infinity Ward. WWI and WWII just lead up to Marden Warfare... Why would they go back? Anyways... I do agree that it needs to be made by Infinity Ward. They did an awesome job with with COD4 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/635988-call-of-duty-5/#findComment-589387795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

freedom77 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'd really like to see them make a much more non linear game. COD4 singleplayer, while brilliant to play through, was a very linear game.

BoJo Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 How so? It jumped to and fro between two different characters, back in time to a previous mission with a previous charater, and then united brilliantly at the end. But it was short :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/635988-call-of-duty-5/#findComment-589387878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I want destructable buildings in the next one a well optimized engine more realistic sky backdrops more freedom to move around in levels, stop placing bits of debris or lumps of metal in random spots so you have to keep the fighting in one area. less missions were u are stuck on a turret blowing stuff up or at least make it so you can gon on foot or in a vechicle. probably more but i can't think of any...

Gangsta Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 That was an awesome game (CoD4). As in, the best PC game I've played since Half-Life 2. It better be made by IW. IMO, CoD3 sucked, and it was Treyarch's fault. And I agree that a modern setting is better than WWI/WWII. But NO future combat. I would cry if they did to CoD4 what happened to BF2 and BF2142 (IMO, 2142 is no better than a BF2 mod).

That Guy Veteran Posted May 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 9, 2008 +1 for non-linear gameplay. COD4 had so many great one off effects, but it felt rather like a roller coaster ride. I think the graphics engine was already optimised well enough to be honest, but boy I would love destrucible environments :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/635988-call-of-duty-5/#findComment-589387894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was short :( Thats what made it so good in my opinion... But yea it was short... I beat it on Hardcore in a day. Although I dont understand the last mission. The one with the hostage on the plane. That gave me a hardtime on hardcore.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted May 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 9, 2008 Weren't I.F the ones who said they were sick of WW1 & 2 games? :/ I can't see them going back to that setting if they are indeed making COD5.

Not playing Veteran is like playing a demo of it. The TV Station mission... If you got through it in like 5-10 minutes then you werent playing Veteran. Took me like an hour to beat that mission.

Gangsta Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Offtopic: on CoD4, on the level where you're in the missile base, trying to get to the launch control center, you know how you go through a hall with a bunch of enemies on the sides, and then through another hall, around some crates, and down stairs? Then there's a part with another tunnel, but the way forward is blocked, so you have to go to the side? I can't get past there. Which way should I be going (left, right, where else?)? The TV station... That was a bitch to beat. I kept getting killed.

-Frylock Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 CoD:UO was a great game, but CoD3 was an utter disaster. I hope that CoD5 is on the better end. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/635988-call-of-duty-5/#findComment-589387967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 1. It has to stay in the modern timeframe. NO MORE WWI/WWII era shooters. I'm praying for that as well. They probably will, if they've got a brain in them. CoD4 is the biggest selling one in the franchise, and it was a major departure from the rest of the series, so it's best to keep to that trend. 2. It has to be made by Infinity Ward. Not gonna happen. Activision have an agreement with Infinity Ward and Treyarch. IW do the even numbered games, and Treyarch do the odd numbered games, so considering Treyarch's last effort (CoD3), this one will probably suck.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted May 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 9, 2008 Why is everyone whining about a WWI/WWII CoD5 game? In the OP, it says that CoD5 will take place in a "new military theatre". That could mean a futuristic BF2142-esque game or a modern combat game. My only hope is that Infinity Ward develops the game.

+Mystic MVC Posted May 9, 2008 MVC Share Posted May 9, 2008 I thought I read back months ago that even Treyarch was already making COD 5, even with other games in development. Did they also go back on the statement that they said it was "going to be in the Pacific (1942 era)"? I was just a bit surprised by all the shock because I thought we went through this once already.

I bet they said the same thing with CoD3, and we ended up with a certain part of WWII. Personally, I'd love to see it done BF2142-style! You can go as crazy as you want when you set a game in the future, so let them go nuts!
