COD4 has been an amazing game and thanks to being modern day combat it has become the most played game on both the Xbox 360 and Sony PS3, now today we are hearing that the next game, COD5, will be called “Call of Duty: World at War” and the sad part is it will be based on WWII.
The reason I say sad is because many gamers including myself have come to love a modern combat game and fighting aliens or in past wars can get boring, playing a game with good graphics, gameplay and in today’s world is that much more realistic.
Did you want COD5 to be set in World War 2?
Joystiq had this to say “It surprised precisely no one when Activision last month revealed plans for yet another game in the publisher’s popular Call of Duty franchise, though until now details have been kept just beyond our line of sight. Now new scans lifted from the latest issue of the UK’s Official Xbox Magazine have confirmed earlier rumors that the series’ fifth installment, apparently dubbed Call of Duty: World at War, will be handled by developer Treyarch, and that the game’s previously teased “new military theater” will again drop players behind enemy lines in a battle for the Pacific during World War II”.
Are you happy to trade in anti-tank missiles for submachine guns?

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.
