Call of Duty 5 primarily set in Japan

DarkZero writes :We already know that Call of Duty 5 is in the works, and should be released later this year. We also have been informed that Treyarch will be going back to WWII instead of staying put in the Modern Warfare setting Infinity Ward created for the fourth game in the series. At the time of that revelation may were upset, seeing it as a step back from the great reaction COD4 got from critics and gamers alike.

However, recent info suggests that Treyarch will not be stepping straight back into familiar territory with their upcoming game, and will not be yet again placing the player in a European or American setting. They will instead be taking the battle over to Japan, and will likely put players in the shoes of soldiers who took part in the Pacific Campaign of World War II. The exact details of where the battles will take place still remain a mystery, but the focus of the CoD5 story will be on their side of the world rather than in Western Europe this time round"

The fact its not being made by IW and its set in WWII again as put me right off it.

okcomputer5840d ago

Same here. I love cod4, its my favorite fps. But no iw, and reverting back to wwII equal no sale for me.

kosha5840d ago

but if they had to do a WW2 setting then i think japan is a good choice. I mean i dont wanna play another d-day section in a game ever again

BeaArthur5840d ago

I can't stand WW2 games, I don't know what it is about them but I can't get into them at all. As soon as I read that it was going back to WW2 I lost complete interest in Call of Duty 5.

Tempist5840d ago

Yeah... no more WWII... On to WWI!

Now that would be a fun and near impossible game to play. Running from trench to trench, trying to avoid MG nests and not suffocate from mustard gas.

It would be a fantastic change in pace.

That or the Korean War. Damn those wars are under represented in video games.

SCThor5840d ago

I wont buy it, I'll stick with COD4 until IW releases COD6. Thanks.

fenderputty5840d ago (Edited 5840d ago )

I'm not looking forward to COD5.

Firstly, it's back in WWII. I'm over it right there.

Secondly, it isn't being developed by IW.

Thirdly, even if it was developed by them, I don't know if I would want a game that has the same network issues as this one. The lack of dedicated servers, a good online mic system, a good party making system and a good friend making system have really put me off of COD4. I actually miss how easy and functional RFOM was.

Lastly, I've been upset with the expensive map packs, lack of a rumble patch and the lack of a patch that could fix these server issues (PS3 users didn't get that). They're raking in the cash and still seem to be rather lazy when it come to supporting the title.

This is really sad too. I loved playing the game and felt it was one of my favorite FPS. I just don't understand how a company can be so refined with it's single player and multiplayer aspects yet totally screw up everything else(network and support).

dan-boy5840d ago

they ruined cod3, and now they look set to ruin cod5! man cod4 is a beast on-line, and is imo one of the best on-line shooters that i've played. obviously off-line the whole series could do with some extras... co-op immediately springs to mind! the games could easily support 4player co-op, but heck, even 2player would be a start!

i'm not looking forward to this at-all now in all honesty! i hope i'm just being cynical!

this games going to SUCK, its going back to WW2, and made by the same people who made COD 3, NOT COD 4, COD 6 on the other hand will rule

BrianC62345840d ago

I agree. Ever play the Medal of Honor game that was in Japan? Not good at all. I hope they do a better job than that game. That part of the war though just doesn't give you much to create a good war game. It's all submarines and jungles on islands.

wAtdaFck5840d ago

Infinity Ward are a notorious development studio, most notably for their last game. I don't care if its in WWII, or WWIII or whatnot. If they're making it, i'm buying it.

But if its treyarch in the other hand...lets just say COD3 didn't get the attention I wanted to give it -_-

cjp4eva5840d ago

Guess ill me passing on this one.

OLD MAN5840d ago

if they improve the engine beyond what the 4th COD already produced

Well, he definitely got his money’s worth.

Abnor_Mal288d ago

Same as Shirley Curry playing Skyrim for years. In the next Elders Scrolls game they should have her in the game as some form of npc.

andy85288d ago

She is, I read she will be a character. Not a dig in any form but I hope she's alive when it releases

Relientk77288d ago

That's over 7,000 hours geez. What crazy stats

nitus10288d ago

Actually it is very easy to up the number of hours you have been playing a game. Basically all you need to do (assuming you have a PS4 or 5) is to place the console into stand-by without exiting the game, so if you do this a one hour gameplay actually becomes a 24 gameplay or longer.

boing1287d ago

What? So the game is still runinng when you put it to sleep? What?

EvertonFC288d ago

It's actually sad not an achievement but hey we need the full story details.

Knushwood Butt287d ago

There's someone on my friend list that has more than 6200 hours on Uncharted 4.

vTuro24287d ago

7k hours over 15 years isn't that crazy. The fact that he's been playing the same game for 15 years is more impressive.

And then you got people that want to finish a game every week.

Rhythmattic287d ago

Nailed what is the Spectrum... For good and bad, Quality or Quantity..Or the unreasonable to reason for. ;)

jznrpg288d ago

Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.

EvertonFC288d ago

500 days in 6 years is nothing lol, you do realise how many days in a year right ?

poppatron288d ago

I might be getting the maths wrong here, I think 500 days in 6 years works out at an average of just over 6 hours every single day. For 6 years. That’s pretty serious

EvertonFC287d ago

Edit: wrote this early this morning, I understand it's lots of hours now lol at myself 😂🤣😜

RedDevils287d ago

The only way to achieve this, is by having no life outside of video game lol.

Outlawzz287d ago

Strange choice of game but hey that's some devotion. Congrats to them!
