Call of Duty 5, Rumors Options

[Nothing]

Here is some rumors I found on kotaku.com regarding COD 5. I see not many are thrilled that Treyarch is making it. I am thrilled that it will be based on WWII and dont care who makes it. I only hope its not horribly done. Here is what they said:


Someone who is more than close enough to know such things has tipped us off over the weekend that, yes, Treyarch are indeed hard at work on Call of Duty 5. And that, yes, the series is heading back to World War II. That's the stuff we'd heard already. What we didn't know is that, according to this tipster, the game's set in the under-utilized Pacific theater, something only one major WWII shooter - the awful Medal of Honour: Pacific Assault - has tried before. While (if true) the move back to well-worn WWII is mostly disappointing, if this game can branch out and explore some of the less "popular" aspects of the conflict (China, Burma, New Guinea), it might not be so bad.

I love the graphics of COD4, I have played it a few times and think its great as far as the graphics go. What I hate is that there is no tanks. I have already made the mistake of buying COD2 with high hopes, therefore I waited with the purchase of COD4 and have decided not to waste my money. Now with the hopes of COD5 bringing back the WWII type game, I will probably buy it on its release date. I just have to have my tanks in these games. I dont enjoy just running around shooting people up. I love the tactics of knocking a base's cover off then planting the base. Or even defending your own base. That is where I get the most fun out of any of the games.

I too thought the same as both of you, that I needed tanks and the tactics of BAS. COD4 is a great game however, I am completely hooked. I hope that there will be an expansion pack that adds that functionality to the COD4 game but frankly with HQ, DOM and S&D tactics do have a role in COD4.

I would like to see the pacific theatre as well but a lot of the pacific theatre was air/sea/infantry based and while tanks were certainly used, they weren't as prominent of a feature in the pacific as they were from Stalingrad to Paris.

Ive got to concur with Angus; while no tanks are involved, there is a definate strategy to the HQ mode, and making it "hardcore" only makes it more difficult to survive. I didnt want to play it at first either, but honestly, the graphics are fantastic, the game itself is intense, and all the "perks" invovled with multi-player make up for any shortcomings it might have.

I initially thought it'd be just like playing the UO mod weapons boards,but its sooooo much better. Youre not in a server full of non Mob who all are using the Dragunov (the Drag is still here, but its not fully auto) and RPGs. You actually stand half a chance of getting out of spawn and completing the mission now. Besides all this, most of the people playing are Mob, and to be honest, I disliked playing our UO servers when I was the only Mob reg in the room.
