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.

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

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...

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).

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 :(

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.

Call of Duty may be short, but It's a game you just need to complete on Veteran - 'Else you haven't really played the game :laugh:

Agreed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
