Following on from the news we reported the other day about Call of Duty 5: moving back to the World War 2 era from the current modern day warfare we see in COD 4, we have not only heard from some gamers that are not happy with this but also from Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 gamers that are happy with this change.
What era would you have liked to see Call of Duty 5 in and are you happy it’s moving back to WWII?
With Activision’s COD 5 details being kept under raps until now, we now all know its going to be called “Call of Duty: World at War” and this followed a little tease saying it will be a “new military theater”. The battle for the Pacific during World War II will be fun, but I am not sure if it can achieve the success we have seen in the current game.
What would you like to see in the next version of Call of Duty and what features do you think the current version lacks that the next needs?
Personally, I want to see better online gaming connections so that when the host drops, the host role is passed to another player and not the game ended. If you play COD4 you will know how annoying this is. Improved chat would be good and also the environments need to be more destroyable. Let us know your wish list in the comments box below.

WW2 era FTW! If I wanted Modern Warfare, I’d join the army.

I totally agree with all online comments made in the article. Although I will mention my distaste at the level of swearing and abuse on the PS3 COD4 chat. Coming from a PC gaming environment where chat was typed, and certain etiquette maintained, playing against people calling each others mother’s ‘Who*res’ and wishing people ‘to die’ is not acceptable on a public game.
As for the era of COD5, it was the lack of depth and size of the single player content on COD4 that I am more concerned about. Regardless of era, I just hope COD5 doesn’t take 4 hours to complete.
I don’t think it was the best idea going back to WW2 but hey ho!
I want to see more interaction with the scenery and the online multiplayer upgraded so you can do Co-Op missions.
It should still be game like call of duty 4, dont take the ranks off, change host when original host quits, more multiplayer games, and dont take the good weapons out, or dont take the red dot and extra equipment for the guns out, and ESPECIALLY the PERkS! also make a perkless game for online, that would be aweome. Last, more then one player can play online on the same console, cuz havin friends over and havin to play 1 on 1 on 1 on 1 and on the same screen, IS GAY
Yes they need to allow it so two people can play online at the same time on the same screen cause when my friends are over we have to switch off and is boring when yo are not playin
i think it should stay on modern and do more games online like protect some one from 1 side to the other side of the map or suming
guys, splitscreen online campaign
1-4 splitscreen online multiplayer
i personally would like to see call of duty take place in vietnam or korea, either one. i have only heard of two games that focused on vietnam, and none for the korean war. the jungle combat and guerilla warfare would make the campaign so much more intense, and the multiplayer maps could be huge. absolutely must have co-op campaign, and host hopping online. oh and interactive surroundings, destructible cover.
i think there needs to be a split screen feature online and they need to keep the upgrades for the weapons and the perks. I also think they need to keep all the same game types as cod4. And also i’ve been reading and they said there was going to be vehicles and i just think that no vehicles i better in a game.
yehhh i agree huge maps means huge mayhemm! bring on the guerilla warefare!
