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!

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
    • It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
