I would love for the Call of Duty series to stick with modern day for a bit longer. The gameplay was able to be more intense, the weapons were more advanced and the multiplayer just seemed to work better in the modern day. Previous World War 2 games have generally lacked new ideas and have not been able to deliver a great multiplayer experience like COD4.

Modern Warfare, I believe, was a good move and furthermore, the younger generation could relate to the storyline. Honestly, I think they should keep the series more in the present, perhaps even a few years into the future.

Why worry about COD5 when COD4 just kinda came out is what im asking :s. And plus imo its best to just not do reasearch about a game so much or know about it way before the game is even released. It just takes the fun out of knowing the story and its new features and stuff. Its kinda like seeing spoilers for an awsome game thats released and you dont have it. Just enjoy cod4 as it is :P

no it should not return to WWII but i dont really care either way because Infinity Ward isnt making it. im looking past cod5 and already looking forward to 6. i really hope they do a Future Warfare type thing. not like 15 years in the future but even further than that, with sci-fi type guns but the same amazing cod4 gameplay.

If the series is going to make a jump to the future, lets leave that with Infinity Ward. I don't want Treyarch developing futuristic garbage.

Agreed. The improvemtents to gameplay and the increase in sheer intensity had more to do with Infinity Ward developing than it had to do with setting.

I'm holding out until IW releases CoD6.

I still prefer the ww2 setting, it adds something special when you are fighting in that era. And im still not tired of that setting. Modern warfare is pretty boring, but thats just me :)

As long as it isn't vietnam or modern warfare, I'll be happy. I love WW2 games, and I would love if we got another one.

i personally think they should take the route that Jeff Gerstmann suggested, split it into 2 seperate franchises : Call of Duty (world war 2 games), and call of duty modern warfare

I still couldn't find where I read it, but I believe one of the XboX World magazines mentioned that Activision isn't doing it and its back to Treyarch again and they said its WWII, which means that if any of this is true and that I can actually shuffle through my magazines and scan it in, I will be skipping the next installment of CoD...

it would be refreshing to see what they did with CoD4 and put that into a WW2 game. CoD3 had a fun multiplayer but CoD4 was better. If CoD3 was less arcade like, then it would be a very good game rather than an ok game.

i agree... by taking the call of duty series back to world war 2 it might be ruined if the really wanted to make a number 5 they should have thought about what order they wanted to put it in ( they should have done world war 2 ones then gone onto modern ):arrow: by taking it back after making a modern one they are taking a big risk but i guess we will ave to see what happens

WWII or not.... Infinity Ward isn't doing the game.... that's a big flaw already. Infinity Ward made COD 2 awesome... then COD3 came out and it was.... blah.... meh.... then Infinity Ward took over again for COD 4.... and it was WOW.... now the same people that made COD 3 are making COD 5...... yawn......

I tend to agree. Enough of that s*** already. A Vietnam one would be all right. When was the last Vietnam-themed shooter released? Aside from budget titles, obviously.

Doesn't matter if it should, because it's already going that way. Honestly, I can't wait for COD6. I trust Treyarch because I liked there version of COD, but IW has the MP magic. But I think all COD's should have vehicles in them.

No more WW2! I hope they do a more futuristic war, with some neat future weapons. They could get really creative with that.

I was thinking more on the line of a bunch of big breasted blonde bimbos running around with ak's. But thats just me.

IMO i think it would be a bad move for them to go fall back from modern war. if they did ppl would still buy it but not play it as much as they do with cod4.

I could have sworn about a month ago that the general consensus was that no one wanted it to go back to WWII. Again with these threads?

I could care less about COD5 if treyarch is doing it. IW should just keep their games and quit passing them off. There does not need to be a cod every year. It they were to do it on their time then every one of them would be quality and not taint the series.

I will never tire of shooting nazi's. I'm sure the new gameplay and graphics will make for an amazing ww2 game. That said I would prefer another setting/time period...

no more WWII. please. I mean with the new metal of honor game and all the other WWII games out it is just to much. now some of the WWII game are badass but there is to many of them. but a cold war game would be pretty goddamn sweat. and I think infinity ward should do it. :D

What do you mean a cold war game NOTHING HAPPENED in the coldwar. We can strategically build up blockades and wait. That sounds like a lot of funs. I do not mean to harp on you to bad but this is not the first time i have seen anyone say a cold war game would be so cool.

It definatly needs to be Vietnam. The Vietnam war has barely been touched in the videogame world. Although i think vietnam could still be considered modern warfare because the weapony is nearly the same.

The only world war 2 game coming out in the future that I want is Return to Castle Wolfenstein 2 (I really loved the first one, and wolfenstein 3d), but other than that, I think we've all had more than enough of world war 2 games, they should be put to rest for at least another 10 to 20 years.

Hey I think they should stick with modern combat for now. Call of Duty 4 is the Best Game Out There! They need to hurry up with it too.

I strongly suggest against WW2, i might still buy it, but how many ww2 games have we already seen. I think that sort of pseudo present with turmoil in Russia and such was a real good idea. I think at least one more in the present. I really hope it isn't Vietnam and i really hope it isn't future, because i have a strong feeling that it would suck the big one.

What the COD series needs to do is hope between eras, WWII,Vietnam,Iraq, and the future. This way when they come back to WWII in 2 or 3 years, it will feel like a fresh experience because it will have updated graphics and gameplay that will have come from the previous years of advancement.

I think it should be "Call of Duty 5: Future Warfare" next. They could set it 100 years in the future and build it off of concept designs of military hardware.
