FFS! Why cant they get creative for once!? How many nazis do we have to kill before enough is enough? We have experienced just about every version of the WWIII story there is to tell, why not make it about WWI or sumthing? Heck, make a game about WWIV! that would be pretty cool, with sum advance albeit not too futuristic weapons...maybe throw in a tank that has a rail gun (since there is one really in development), and have the guns be pretty much the same except integrated with your HUD so as you pick up a weapon and point at different units, your HUD tells you how effective the weapon is. Just do ANYTHING but WW2 :cry:

so damn true....

WW2 seems to be a good 'warwagon' to jump on.

I enjoyed the setting of COD 4 because it was modern.

Can't we like do the Vietnam war or something?FrozenLiquid

nope, u'll lose the war :P

Yup, god forbid the Americans make a game that doesnt envolve them winning the war with thier heroism, while the European forces act as little cliche characters that pop in now and then :roll:...

We need to see more games from a European/eastern perspective imo ... that would open up the audiance alittle.

sounds better then cod4! im disapointed that they are using crappy cod4 engine tho

cool, cod3 was great (yeah yeah "its treyarch so the game HAS to suck", how about NO) , cant wait for this one

mingo123

Suck ? Maybe not, but are you honestly saying that COD3 was better than the first 2 or better than COD4 ? Infinity Ward is just the better developer hands down. COD5 would be better under their guidance than Treyarch's.

when did I say that?

I am never buying another Treyarch developed CoD game. CoD3 was basically CoD2 with more bugs and a worse storyline.SpruceCaboose

not really, it was alot different then cod2 + it looked 10x better then cod2 and SP was awesome as well and storyline doesnt matter in WW2 games, it was a great game on its own, 24 players MP with vehicles> 8 player MP, no vehicles and lag

WW2...far out. The market is saturated with this game format.

Pathetic.

If I am aiming at a guy on a tank in SP, I have a sniper and a clear shot, and my shots keep hitting invisible walls, ala Metal of Honor from back in the day. I consider that a buggy game.

And it happened tons of times in different scenarios, and those "mini-games" with the up close fighting were just cheesy and un-needed filler.

And IMO, it looked about the same as CoD 2, seeing as they just stole the Infinity Ward engine and were using the same assets.

As for MP, you are correct. CoD3 was worth it for the MP, which is why I didn't sell it until CoD 4.

Everyone jumped on the bandwagon, the MoHAA devs, DICE, Conflict Devs ect. ect. Only Vietcong (1) and Battlefield Vietnam were decent out of the bunch. Thankfully it was short lived.

Honestly i'd like to see somthing WW1, or completely original - alternate history, but still plausible - ala Operation Flashpoint.

If the setting is in WWII again, then i'll pass, cause had more than enough of FPS shooters covering that conflict...

Can't we like do the Vietnam war or something?FrozenLiquid

Or the Korean War.

Are you kidding me? What point of view is left unturned?lucidflux

ANZACs fighting along Kokoda against the Japanese - as one.

Biggest problem is there is a trend to 'do it from the 'American perspective' nearlyall the time. Games like Hidden and Dangerous really did go against the grain though.... Gameplay wise too.

Astaghfirallah!! repent!! COD4 is the best engine known to mnakind, lol!!

Really? How many have there been this gen?

I completely missed the boat last gen, with all the medal of honors and brothers in arms, so im actually looking forward to this. Besides infinity ward cant crank out a cod4 every year, otherwise it would just be the same game. On a plus note, hype for cod6 can start now!!

God forbid they step away from generic settings and storylines, and yes I mean COD 4 too. The setting in COD 4 was no where close to being fresh either and Im still puzzled to this day why people are creaming all over it. I guess it's just like starving a group of people then handing them food just before they die of starvation, they will take whatever new food they can get.

They should concentrate on not only picking a unique setting, but actually trying to convey some emotion into the game instead of just telling a bland war story. They had a few moments in CoD 4 they could of expanded and made so much better. The killing of the citizens in the streets could of had so much more emotion to it and they could of added more of that kind of stuff throughout the game to show how war tears apart society.

If they are going to survive past CoD 4 they are going to have to start setting new priorities besides making a flash bang grenade of a game (by that I mean all flash and no substance for those that don't get it).

I realise I may sound pretty harsh, but CoD is a leader of the pack when it comes to war games. Just about everyone and their dog knows about CoD and they need to lead the genre of war games to new levels instead of adding on new coats of paint.

I have played many a FPS game.

CoD4 is great, IMO, because it does what many other shooters try to do and fail at. The SP has quite a few memorable levels in it, and the MP has tons of legs and legit incentives to continue playing, at least until 10th Prestige.

The game is also polished and incredibly solid. I probably wouldn't label it the best FPS ever, but it is certainly among the best IMO.

I'd buy it if they included a 40-50 song soundtrack in the special edition and played the biggest songs during gameplay. I know for a fact that the chopper pilots blasted The Doors and Creedence no matter what they were flying over.

Dont get me wrong its a good game, but I just remember how everyone was foaming at the mouth at how mind blowing the game was from gameplay to graphics.

They always make pretty solid games, but I wish they would do so much more than the norm since they are one of the ones leading the standard when it comes to war games.

Soda-Jack

Anyone getting any Medal of Honour Pacific Assault flashbacks?

Japanese Commanders with swords executing you if you are wounded, getting stabbed by bayonettes ect.....

Is Activision made up of brainless morons in vegetative states?

Quite frankly, this is a terrible move in a gaming environment where a WW2 setting is frowned upon as being extremely overused, no matter the location.

Idiots.

btw heres a link to the scans.

Its not looking to bad.

Problem is Iward did vehicles and class based multiplayer in COD1 United Offensive... and it was much better - hell better than COD4.

I'd be all for that. CCR FTW!
