Well since no one forces you to buy games who cares? If they made no ww2 shooters or a hundred how would that affect you? Either way you wont buy it correct? Isn't the outcome going to be the same no matter what? Anyway i'll buy COD5 as long as it turns out as good as it looks. I don't care about what era it's in as long as it's a well built game that's fun.craigalan23This isn't about forcing people to buy games. Im asking would you rather the modern style or some WW2 game?
I think I'm ready for another good ww2. Modern combat was cool for a bit, but there is a reason so many ww2 games are published.
I just want a red dot sight on my M1 Garand, and I want to be able to laugh at people using the ACOG on the Springfield. That's all I've ever wanted... sadly I have been denied of this dream.
As good as CoD5 looks, I think I'm just going to wait undtil Infinity Ward takes up the reigns once again unless CoD5 gets stellar reviews and has a strong online prescence.
I don't know, I've heard good things about it from 1up. It's taken a lot of things from COD4, such as onscreen points. martialbullet
what do yuo mean on screen points
and i will buy it im a hardcore cod fan. if it sucks ill be sad but ill still buy it lol
im sick of modern games now... always fighting arab people in the deserts or the desert type towns... im glad its going back to world war 2.... oh and also the class customisation will be in COD:WAW... just incase you didnt know.adders99
This, I've played enough games were I am a Marine shouting Oorah in the desert. WW2 was far more interesting.

Really? I find that awesome! :D OOOOOORAAAHHHH!!!
If COD4 was a WW2 game, I'd probably have never bought it. And like someone else said, if they did so great with modern warfare, why come back to the super-overused-WW2? I don't care that it's being developed by Treyarch, you can't say a game sucks before it gets released. But still, I'm sick and tired of WW2... unless this game gets scores similar or higher then COD4, I might not even touch it.
[QUOTE="remmitanceman"]Yah i agree. I guess half the reason why im sick of world war 2 games is because there all so bad.I think I'm ready for another good ww2. Modern combat was cool for a bit, but there is a reason so many ww2 games are published.

Day of Defeat : Source on Steam is not bad. That is the best WW2 MP game I have ever played.
One of the main things that makes an FPS interesting is the choice of weapons. If you just stick with the same boring layout of weapons that every WW2 shooter has, then it misses one of the main attractions for a FPS
Doom had the BFG, Quake had the railgun, Halo had the Spartan Laser, Gears had the Lancer
COD5 has ??? the same tired boring selection of weapons that can be found in any other WW2 FPS game
I honestly don't understand why would they return to a WWII setting after having so much success in a modern warfare setting, and almost perfecting the modern warfare setting game. I'll probably rent before buying because i'm not a big fan of WWII games either.Maqda7
Treyarch started developing this game before cod4 was even released. Therefore they didnt know that the modern setting would be a huge sucess. Personally i liked cod 3 so ill probably get cod 5.
just like modern combat has the same old weapons from other modern combat games , but they are new weapons like flame thrower for example. shud be a good game since they using cod4s engine to make it , the same people also making the new james bond game for activision as well again with cod4s engine.One of the main things that makes an FPS interesting is the choice of weapons.

Ok I was really into the whole new modern warfare thing and the new weapons and the whole class customization system was amazing. Now they pull out COD5 (another WW2 game) which just completely makes me want to kill myself. Im serious i hate WW2 games. Me personally i feel that game developers should just stop WW2 games altogether. Ok im most definetly not going to buy COD5 but what about you, how do you feel about this whole situation?foola12
I dont care about the WW2 atmosphere, COD2 was and still is much better than COD4, the problem with COD5 is the change of developer, from the creator of 2 and 4 to the punks that made 3.
Why do people assume cod 5 will suck because treyarch makes it? Cod 3 got 8.5/10 even with it's 8 months of devolopment. COD 5 has been in the works for over 2 years and it will have lots of features that cod 4 did.Cyberfairy
Couldnt agree more. I have played and like them all. But i wll be honest i had More fun playing COD3 then Cod4. Probably since the new one to me had to many fustrating things in it, like mortydome etc, and the likes of last stand. Were COD3 had more pros like tanks and Jeeps it was fun. I for one think im going to have more fun with Cod5 then ever with Cod4. Well at least i hope.

The difference being that a historical shooter can't just invent new weapons or equipment. They are limited to pick only what was around at the time.
A modern shooter has a much wider choice since they can pick pistols/rifles/explosives/vehicles/specialist equipment from any of the forces around the world, even including weapons going through experimental trials.
Just look at COD4. Sure each weapon has appeared in other shooters (though most not on 360), but for each cIass of weapons you are given several choices, usually one NATO and one ex-soviet.
Now look at COD5 and you can basically just list out all the weapons from COD3 and you have the weapons for the new game
there are just as many modern shooters as there are ww2 so it doesnt really matter to me. Though i will play COD5 just cause i always enjoyed studying and reading about the pacific campaign ceells87
It's not a downgrade at all.
Seriously, why does it matter when the game takes place? What matters is if it's fun,. and World at War looks fun.
Besides, Call of Duty was all about World War II until 4. It was a WWII series.
I don't see how it should matter to you guys though. I mean, I doubt most of you have played more than like two games set in World War II. World War II games never were big on consoles, not to mention that Call of Duty 4 out sold each of the previous Call od Duty games by over five times, so most of you honestly don't even know what Call of Duty is all about or how the series chas changed(or more appropriatly, hasnt changed).
If anything Call of Duty 4 was a down grade since it did near nothing to change the gameplay. Perks to throw off balance and shooting through walls. Woopdy doo.
Besides, World at War will be going over parts of World War II, shooter rarely do.

You'd rather kill yourself? Just skip the game and continue to play CoD4. I don't see a problem with another WWII setting. Want to know why? I DO NOT HAVE TO BUY IT. It isn't mandated by the U.S. Government that you have to buy a WWII game. I will though, as a fan of the CoD series.

a gun is a gun, if they go back to using guns which require skill to kill people with then it makes it a better game online for me. i take it you cant handle killing people with the ww2 weapons but can get easy kills on cod4Im sorry[QUOTE="ceells87"]there are just as many modern shooters as there are ww2 so it doesnt really matter to me.

I make a post about wanting more variety of modern weaponry and you have to resort to a "I'm better at shooters than you because I like old guns" argument. nice
The fact that you say "a gun is a gun" shows just how little you understand
Im sorry[QUOTE="ceells87"]there are just as many modern shooters as there are ww2 so it doesnt really matter to me. Though i will play COD5 just cause i always enjoyed studying and reading about the pacific campaign HottAsFire
Now see there was no reason to be an ass. GoW and Halo arent modern. they're sci-fi, so dont try making me sound like an idiot cause of that. There are 9 rainbow six games that all use modern weaponry. 8 Ghost recon games that use modern weaponry. Theres COD4 of course. 6 splinter cell games that all utilize modern weapons. And thats just the Clancy games you forgot to mention. Just cause they arent all nex-gen doesnt denie the obvious note they all have modern weaponry in them. So if you really want a full list beyond just those let me know and i'd be happy to send you a message with EVERY single one I can find. That way you wont be embarassed or get flamed on here.

By the way you just failed on a massive scope. None of those games are on the old xbox.
Thats....about....it.... ^_^
