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"

1.3 - Agreed

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.

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.

1.6 - Honestly,

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).

1.7 - treyarch???

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!

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 -_-

6 - Yeah I'm sick of the same damned format

I'm not sick of WW2 in general as a setting but every game that has done it has just followed the same generic linear format. CoD3 was decent but just so unoriginal and generic. I do hope IW goes back to WW2 one day and truely gives it justice. Next-gen Normandy landing with IW at the helm would be worth playing again.

Fighting Japanese is at least a good shift though. Lots of beach landings and probably ambushes and crap.

7 - I dont think ive ever played a WW2 game set in japan

So it could potenially have some good features like ambushes and kamakazis. My only worry is that its not being made by IW which is a pretty big worry

i feel sorry for treyarch. they're the 'fill in' dev while Infinity Ward starts their next project. they probably arent given nearly as many resources etc either. i didnt think CoD3 was THAT bad, it was a bit stale, but it wasnt abysmal.
they could finish off the WW2 series wwith a bang though, if they attempt a 'thin red line' atmosphere and action.

9 - Oh man,

Why not give me a Call of Duty:Vietnam game instead? That would be sweet. But with a WWII setting, I think I will be skipping it. IT HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH! Ever since Saving Private Ryan, WWII has been the subject of 50+ games. ENOUGH ALREADY! Activision is doing a good job at running the Guitar Hero and Call of Duty franchises into the ground. Why don't they just take their time and make a great game instead of churning out sequel and sequel?

10 - Oh come on!

This will be Treyarchs last COD game,what better way to say goodbye to the series than to set it in WW2?!?Cod4=Excellent game,has a few flaws,but nevertheless,an excellent game.Cod3=Good game,more flaws than COD4,but nevertheless,a pretty good game.

Cod4>Cod3,but that doesn't mean Treyarch's WW2 versions are craptacular.IF this game doesn't introduce anything new to the WW2 genre,then I won't be buying it,but IF it does,then I will be buying it.

Give them a chance,if you think their WW2 games suck then google 'Hour of Victory'.

Expect it to be nothing short of what COD4 is. Regardless of setting and or where it takes place. Kinda funny i have only played the single player 1 time in COD4 played a couple of levels and haven't played single player since. Just deliver a online experience as COD4 and i am in.
