Call of Duty: World at War (aka COD5): Sad for Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers

Yes, I wanted CoD5 to be set BACK in the genre that MADE this franchise what it is. CoD4 was nothing more than a dumbed down MP function, from CoD:UO with prettier graphics. And the masses ate it up like the morons they are.

Great back to WW2, loved the previuos editions! To say that they are boring is an insult to all the people who died defending your right to write this rubbish…

Oh well, they won’t get my money. COD3 sucked and I won’t be buying any COD until Infiniti Ward makes another.

Vietnam gets no love. Enough of WWII. They beat it to death already. It’s like 20 guys with baseball bats beating a bloody horse carcass.

1. Vietnam
2. The Cold War
3. Desert Storm

Pick one. Just not WWII!

I dont agree, bad move why are they going back in time if the other COD’s were so good why has COD4 blown them away! because its mordern people whan new not old. Get over it.

WWII = poo.

Well I’m looking forward to it!!
COD4 Was a great hit

Dont like MODERN shooting games like aliens and stuff so WWII should be great!!

HOPE IT COMES SOON!!

Like the sound of this, need a decent WWII 2 shooter , CoD4 is great, but still other WWII hasent had a ground breaking game in a while. I don’t like the way Activision wants to crank one of these out every year, might just be the next EA

@David & frazer369

Am I missing something or don’t we already have CoD1, CoD2, CoD3????

Go buy one of those. I’m sure at least one of them are based on WWII if not all of them.

@SuperDynamite – Already own 1, UO and 2. 3 was a console only piece of crap. 4 was prettier than it’s 3 predecessors, but wished it could offer the same gameplay and MP functionality as UO. To date, UO is still the best COD made, by far. But it could use a nice revamp imo. CoD5 sounds like it could be promising, however, I’ll wait and see. IW/Activision have a long long way to go before I ever buy one of their products again.

Ahhh Treyarch I should’ve guessed. See COD2 & COD4 were good because the developer was Infinity Ward. But Treyarch only develop for WWII so even though I will say that the game is gonna be awesome because well, it always is, its not gonna be as good as when COD6 is gonna be developed by infinity ward.

Activision wants to publish Call of Duty games on an annual basis. Infinity Ward, the original developer, knows it takes more than 10 months to make a good game, so they weren’t willing to commit to that schedule. Treyarch is the B list team, and they did both COD3, a couple of COD console ports, and now COD5. There’s no way they could take on modern warfare and capture the realism and tension that Infinity Ward did. They’ll keep plodding along in WWII for as long as Activision lets them. Unfortunately, COD, Metal of Honor, Brothers in Arms, and countless others have covered WWII to death. COD4 was a big step forward, and COD5 will be a big leap back.

Activision needs to learn that quality, and not quantity, will win out everytime. They’ve also beaten the Tony Hawk franchise into the ground, and they’ll do the same with Guitar Hero too.

I have nothing against WWII. It was an incredible part of our history and thousands gave their lives across the globe. As for games, there are other wars and conflicts in our history that are worth exploring as well.

I totally agree with kingofgrills on this one

go marines

It doesn’t matter what the theme of the game is or what time period it’s in, as long as it’s good.

cod 1,2,3 are the greatest load of **** i have ever played on any console i got more fun out of space invaders , but cod4 has to be the best game ever cod5 has a lot to do to match it.hardcore team deathmatch class

Treyarch as no right to even try to create and modify a COD game infinity should be responsible to assemble the greatest game probably to hit xbox 360. If Treyarch even trys their hardest, they will never even come close as infinity did with COD4. If Treyarch continues with COD5 they will get embarrased and harrassed for what they have made. It is a disgrace to the xbox players and a big dissapointment to the world of gamers that are looking at a game that takes a leap forward from COD4 into modern time, Infinity has the potential for this game, please try to take some of my advice and that of others! INFINITY PLEASE TAKE OVER THE MAKING OF COD5 AND TREYARCH QUITE WITH IT BECAUSE HONESTLY YOU GUYS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agee with kingof grills COD4 broke some new ground – COD5 beta looks good but the game balance sucks. COD4 weapons were realistic andmany gamers it seems keep on using the ol’ m16 right on through because the weapons balance is good,they are all equally effective but different. Some of the best small arms of WWII are about as effective as throwing peanuts at the enemy. M1 carbine is the top assault rifle? JUST NO! And WTF are dogs?? Did WWII recon planes have GPS and radar? NO!! Why not mortar support for 3 kills, arty for 5 andfighterbomber support for 7. In WWII the poor blody infantry weren’t psychic and didn’t know where the enemy were half the time, surely that could be one of the attractions of a return to WWII on the multiplayer?
Where’sthat guy who suggested a Vietnam COD? The era’s been totally overlooked and offers a fantastic opportunity for an interesting game balance – Technology vs the low ‘back to basics’ guerilla techniques of Victor Charlie. But then – can you see a huge following in the US?
Hmmm….

COD5 is lacking.

I agree with Superdynamite. They must make a Vietnam game, as this a conflict that invokes.

COD4 and its makers got it right. I hope they never go futuristic on us.

i got cod5 its great but i didnt like it that much for the red dots!

NICE GAME

The single player lives up to the expectation. I tried it on the Veteran Mode with slight succuss. If you move somewhere the game doesnt want you go to, you die instantly. This made it very frustrating when your near a checkpoint.

If you bought this game for the multi-player only, I would not recommend it to anyone. Im not sure if it just happens on the PS3, but whenever I play, there are tons of lag and glitches. The creators seem to work in some sort of player favoring. What I mean by that is, you can run into someone on a killing spree, shooting him in the head or chest mulitple times while he is standing still, and somehow that player will get the best of you and kill you with a stomach or leg shot. The aim-assist makes any noob dangerous if he learns the basics of the aim-assist.
I also have problems staying with one team for more than 2-3 games. There must be tons of issues with the server. I get the migrating host message a lot, but it can never find a capable host. Sometimes it will actually freeze the screen for 10-30 seconds at a time waiting for god knows what. Occasionally it will freezes before I can select the type of game I wish to join, or ceases to show what game types I can join.

Overall the graphics and story are well done. But there are far too many glitches, annoyances, and problems with the game. Treyarch should of spent more time on the game and the multiplayer counterpart of it. If I could reverse time, I would bring back COD5 and stick with COD4 and my extra cash.

i think it should of been based on the war thats going on now.

yeah because playing a game based on historical battles is a testament of respect to people who fought the war, right?
