I cannot say how happy I am that the call of duty franchise is going back to WWII. My favorite games are FPS shooters, and especially those set in world war 2. There is a certain feeling with these games, and there are thousands of stories that can be told historically about one of the most important events in the world. I think the shift to the pacific is a good move, it will offer different gameplay, weapons, and ultimately a unique setting.

A common argument for those who want the Call of Duty franchise to move on from WWII is that there are so many WWII games already on the market, who wants more? To this I counter: how many Madden games have you bought? How many Guitar Hero sequels? how many Pokemon games? etc.... the point is this: yes there are many WWII games, but each offer a unique experience, just like Madden 2000-Madden 2009, Guitar Hero 1,2,3, and Aerosmith and the many many Pokemon games.
