i was watching g4 today and on the bottom pop up like thingy it said that activision confirmed that cod 5 will take place in a new setting which means no ww2 or modern
It didn't mention if it was another modern setting but it did mention no WWII settings. They still didn't leak out details. But I'm sure it still might be in the modern for now.

so it's confirmed it won't be WWII?
im guessing so although i wouldnt mind a ww2 cod5 if it was in the pov of the germans
Hmm Vietnam or Korea seem like they could be the most likely choices. Or they could go something closer to modern like the first Gulf War or make something up completely and put it post-WW2.
Everyone mentions the Korean War as a possibility. You all complain that you don't want another WWII game. The Korean War took place between 1950 and 1953. The weapons were not that much different than those used in WWII. While the setting would be different, actual gameplay would probably be very much the same as a WWII game.
Call of Duty 5 arcticle somewhere recently mentioned that it could possible be set in WWII but in the past they said that they are sick of that era. Thank god...
Although on the flip side I for one feel there should be loads more WWII games as I will love shooting one of those pelet guns and getting the chance to wear a tin helmet again...
The first world war would be so awesome. Include aerial missions and some of those archaic tanks that broke down every 2-3 miles. Mustard Gas, Gattlin Guns, Trench warefare...
Oh yes, if you want to be lining up in Multiplayer for 2 minutes, and then all have to rush out at the same time into a field covered with multiple machine guns.....no thank you, WWI is a horrible part of history best left buried.
According to GameSpot the only thing that's confirmed is that it won't be the same theater as CoD4: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6190641.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newstop&tag=newstop;title;8 It could be back to WWII. It could be present day just somewhere else in the world. I'd like to see a quality Vietnam game.
if it was ww2 in the point of view of the nazis it would be good because that is something new that no one has doneEnraged_Bannana
And yet, it's still the same settings, the same guns, and basically the same story. So they could make a Nazi WWII game, or you can import CoD4 from Germany, seeing as how the biggest difference would be the language the Nazi's speak. Maybe they'll do a futuristic setting. Ooooorrrrrr they can go back to the good ol' days of swords, bows, and catapults. ;) Haha imagine that.

Ah, but if it's from the German side, we'd get to do something we rarely ever get to do in WWII games (Except Battlefield 1942 and MOH: Allied Assault) and that's defend.....yes that's right, a game where you aren't a tanked up psychonutter with a sheer imperviousness to being a lone soldier behind enemy lines; it'd be a game where you'd have to shut down every route, lay traps and create fortifications, assign guns to different points and then fight the bit out against a literal swarm of enemies. I'd buy it.....and it'd freshen up the dead and festering horse being repeatedly whipped that is WWII games.
Only thing I can see bad about Vietnam was that it was more of a defeat than a victory. I think there's still allot of old people around with mixed feelings about it. But then again, it's no different than Iraq atm.
I think the Battlefield Series did a Vietnam game, I don't think it did that well. But I geuss it's better than another WW2 game. I mean how many more times do we have to save Private Ryan! LOL

I dunno, Call of Duty 4 didn't feel exactly like you won after that ending. Can't say much more just incase, but feeling like you've lost is just another part of the war-game experience; and a very unexplored one at that.

so that leaves future, medieval or colonial times hmmm
If it is set against or has osmething to do with japan, that would still be kinda cool because there would be jungle fighting which is the main reason i like vietnam.
