I dunno about this one... wish Activision would just stick with Inifinity Ward for the Call of Duty series. As much as I love the WWII games, I'm just worried they're maybe a bit played out. CoD3 was bad. Just real bad.

Couple things sound good tho:

1) Co-op.
2) Vehicles in multiplayer

I think the one thing that might save this from being over played (WWII that is) is that they are basing it in the Pacific. The only one I can think of is MOH and it was terrible. So this aspect isn't overdone yet....I still play cod2 a good bit even though we're kicking along in cod4. There's just something about using a rifle that appeals to me. I play rifles in UO once in a while as well just for that same type of game. I don't get why so many of the UO guys just absolutely hated cod2. Minus the vehicles the actual game play is very similar IMO.

Geno, last night I found a COD4 version of Toujane.

It was cool.

What is co-op?

botttom line is this, ww2 sells games ,theres a wide range of age groups that will be loyal and play it to the end..........but........no pacific theatre game has ever been good in my opinion,bf sucked ,moh sucked etc.. the whole time i was playing cod4 i was at awe about how cool it would be to have the same maps but ww2 city style ,with tanks ,it reeeallly reminded me of private ryan but in middle east.screw jeeps but have a half tracks in there and yes ,ill here flak for it for suposed to be a shooter but when u/o first came out i remember playing berlin,kharkov and casino -all had tanks and were completely vulnerable, if you didnt know what your doing you were smoked often.

i want no 88s , i want narrow alleys where tanks get stuck,i want it to take time for a tanker to get out of a tank and have blind spots mixed with a blown out city .hell ,if its russians against germans in berlin i want germs to have woman old men and kids fighting,not soldiers. i would like to see an authentic african ww2 campaign and that would mean tanks kids ,that would also mean planes.i WOULD LOVE TO SEE AN OMAHA BEACH whole normandy remake.



cod cannot do a pacific theatre because most of the battles were air and sea -island hopping.bf was the only one to do land sea and air and i still hated it.

CO-OP = Semi-Multiplayer (one side is all human players while the other side is the AI guys.



Sort of like single player but with more guys/gals (human) playing with you.

A straight multiplayer has to have balance so both sides are equal whereas

co-op multiplayer does not. The AI side can have pickable (by the server)

modes of easy, normal, hard, etc. I hope that answers your question !!
