Call of Duty 5 set for six platforms

DarkZero: Tony Hawk may be taking a bit of a break, but it seems Activision has other plans for the Call of Duty series as they will be making COD5 available for six different platforms (PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, Nintendo DS and PS2).

Activision publishing president and CEO Mike Griffith comments "For Call of Duty, we're bringing the intensity of the recent Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare title to yet a new military theatre to engage our significantly larger user base which nearly doubled last year"

I have absolutely no interest in this one. Call me when Infinity Ward is involved again.

1.2 - cod3 was not that bad

it was not perfect and you could not skip the cut scenes, but the multiplayer was solid and supported more players than infinity ward could manage! (24 for those who never played it)

Silellak - You're completely right.

I don't want a COD that can run on 6 platforms.
"Jack of all trades, master of none." Ever heard that saying Treyarch?

So COD5 is going to have to run on last gen hardware and a portable?
So a last gen game? And I assume the 360, PC and PS3 will only get updated HD visuals? Great!

There is no way they will make the PS3, PC and 360 play differently to the Wii DS and PS2 version are they? Too much effort.
Its much easier to tweak 1 version for each system.
It will be COD3 all over again.

No wonder IW wants to buy the rights to COD. Treyarch are making the COD franchise look bad.

So thor I bet your ass is sore from getting reemed by playing 50 person matches. Thats like trying to fit 50 clowns in a car. Looks funny, but really isn't that funny.

Agreed.

6 platforms means it won't be as focused and special as COD4. Sure, COD3 was decent and this can also be fun but I'll skip this Teryarch COD and will wait for Infinity Ward's COD.

NO MORE CALL OF DUTY GAMES EVER!!!!!!

make a new franchise! and it's time for a new graphics engine. I'm sick of looking at these Sega Dreamcast quality graphics in COD games. and i'm even more sick of ppl praising them for their graphics when Infinity Ward has already said they're using the same engine since COD 2 which is a Last-Gen engine.

7.1 - What?

Im not sure if they are, but they simply could have updated the engine. COD4 looks great. If you think COD4 doesn't, then you have to be blind. Besides, COD5 isn't being made by IW.

This is even more of a bad sign that COD5 will suck. First it's going back to WW2 (please leave that war alone now its over and done with) and now it's releasing on 6 platforms!? That will just even hinder the game because the developer has to divide their attention and not focus on one platform.

...so apparently I'm the only person in the world who's still interested in WWII shooters?

That's cool. Don't worry Treyarch, you still have one customer. Just make the single player longer than 5 hours, please.

No, But check out Brothers in Arms. Call Of Duty was reveled because it made such a huge and amazing leap to modern times, now it's a HUGE step backwards. Would you wanna start with a HD tv and go backwards towards a tube TV? Lol no.

9.2 - False analogy...

Did Total War take a big step backwards by going back to the Roman era after starting with the Warring period in Japan? No..

Not all of us like modern shooters, and some of us hate them. I like the limitations of WWII weaponry, it makes the game a little more believable.

(I games like Resistance and Halo for the story, but hate the multiplayer because of the silliness of the weapons. Gimme a Garand or Kar98 any day.)

I will check out Brothers in Arms, though, thanks for the tip.

I'm in agreement with everyone else.

Call Of Duty blows without IW at the helm, I really hope they buy the rights soon.

10.1 - You Know What

Part of me thinks they haven't yet on purpose so Treyarch can make them look even better. But then again I'm quite cynical

EDIT:@ Below. True but I just mean it doesn't hurt that the "B Team" makes a dubious choice of setting & doesn't quite put out games of your caliber

IW would have to crank out a new COD every year if it wasn't for Treyarch, keep that in mind.
