BryanGuitarDude

No infinity ward means no sale

taftsearlobe33

Well, I've preordered already. I'll be camping in line next week.

Tyber_Zann

Yay more stuff!

tooji

@Yobari: IF meaning IW. Sorry for the double post.

Yobari

Looks like they are going to have to learn the hard way that over saturation is a bad thing. Something Activision should know by now.

Scott3D

@ZetaCrossfire: Cod 4 rocks!

kaish

As long as it's made by Infinity Ward, you know it'll be worth buying. I have yet to be disapointed by one of their games. I can't say the same about Treyarch though.

It would be nice to see a new IP coming from IF, i'll keep my fingers crossed.

Yobari

So this is gonna be Cod 6?

kaish

just please dont let COD5 suck like COD4 did

ZetaCrossfire

I really love CoD2/4, and I'll definitely try out WaW if it's more of the same. But one huge gripe -- CoD4 allows each player to have different latencies and connection speeds; meaning whoever lags the most has the most advantage in some games, and whoever has the speediest connection in others will be seconds ahead of other players. Make and even playing field por favor! Thanks infinity!

Call of Duty: Battlefield Medic
or perhaps
Call of Duty: Battlefield Medic In The Future

Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc

@XeroKool:

To a certain extent, yes, but since it's being developed every 2 years from 2 different developers, not necessarily.

kumuasata

I HATE sci-fi settings. Then again, I don't really like CoD games either, so no problems for me :P

mfwahwah

sounds good

P.S. did anyone notice they took down the skate 2 video?

bigsamboni

I would love a Sci-Fi CoD.

I'm a total sucker for sci-fi, so futuristic epic battles just makes my brain tingle!

Coquiton

Sci-Fi Call of Duty made by IW? I'm down with that.

Paustinj

@Erwin: Although I seriously hope this doesn't turn out to be the case.

Erwin

Is COD becoming the next Madden?

XeroKool

Space marines? It's just easy enough to sell.

Erwin

Well, one thing for sure, this is going to sell like hotcakes. The Call of Duty games have always sold a shitload. I hope it's as good as the last one.

homernoy

im sick of call of duty all together.

shade-black

Sci-fi Call of Duty? I could live with that.

Kaonazhie

Sweet, that means it won't be another damn WWII shooter. I'm really, really sick of WWII. Except Company of Heroes, I can never get enough of that.

BlackMage66652

yay

Bernoulli

@Nirolak: yeah but no one likes that name.

I personally prefer BlizzVision

shade-black

everything that comes out of infinity ward is incredible and without equal.

FlapDangerous

Who said Episodic gaming would never work!

Looks like you just need 2 studios, a penchant for graphical overhauls and a whole fuckton of marketing money.

BTW - Actiblizz own infinity ward. They may have signed the people that work there but they own CoD.

Jelster

@BryanGuitarDude: But the company's name is Activision Blizzard...

Nirolak

Who here did NOT see that one coming?

Cosmitz

Thats why i love valve.. they put longevity in their games that it makes it worth it to actually specialise on them. These types of games burn too much money in a short period of time and at the same time just makes me have to get used to it again.Of course im just whining :D

LoganForge

oh yea, that's one of my weekends just playin the single player.

betogonza

Whatever setting they use, CoD is a great game and a solid shooter. This coming from an RPG nut. =)

shredmanifesto

halo 4 without the regenerative armor.

wnflame

well technicly world at war really isnt cod5 since it doesnt have a number next to it so it could be that infinity wards projects every two years would have the number. So Call of duty 5 in 2009 can't wait. Not getting World at War since i would feel wrong not having my mp5 or p90.

rwhp3

How long before Call of Duty: Azeroth in Conflict?

KirbyMorph

@Kaonazhie:
Exactly my thoughts...

Andune

@Archaotic

No joke. I think that they should stop doing all of their games yearly and make them bi-yearly with 1 new IP game in between. As in Guitar Hero this year, then get that team to make a new IP the next year, and then the year after that go back and make another Guitar Hero.

SlapStic.com

I don't get it...isn't this what they said they were planning to do ever since Treyarch was announced to be working on COD5?

Tibeerius

activision? Milking? NO WAY.

Archaotic

So, Activision milked the Tony Hawk cow until it dies.. now is doing the same to Guitar Hero and Call of Duty, really.. I never saw a franchise that remained good with a sequel coming out every year..

CockroachMan

Why? Sci fi? Why?

Isn't what people like about COD games the fairly realistic weapons (at least in name and model)? Turning COD 4 into a slower UTIII seems pointless to me. And I actually prefer UTIII and Halo and sci-fi shooters in general over COD (which I do like/play).

Maybe Infinity Ward could make a needler or biorifle clone feel real without going crazy, but I just think it seems risky in terms of alienating the audience they've built up for a fairly easy, noob-friendly but less arcadey shooter.

lionkitten

sci fi call of duty would make me so happy.

bobdisgea

Crazy enough to work? The only thing "crazy" about space marines is that anyone would think it was a good idea at this point. I'm hoping for a more realistic near future setting. Maybe something not unlike Ghost in the Shell.

Luziphir

I don't know why Treyarch even bothers. Oh yeah! Because a lot of people don't know that every other Call of Duty that comes out now is garbage.

Tohdman

Makes sense. COD3 came out in 2006 and COD 4 came out in 2007

KM91

BUGGGGSSS!!!

crapsh00t

This comes as a surprise to ....NO ONE.

GoonieGooGoo2

The Sci Fi project isn't COD. It was 'announced' a while ago as a non-COD game.

Bergerac

@Al2x: I believe you described every online game ever made. Though I don't see lag being an advantage.

Synthemesc

Nooooo!

Ok, I'm gutted. The only way they could get the game out this soon is if they're basically milking the COD4 engine and churning out a game.

I really *want* them to take the time and get it right. I mean, it's so rare for me to really get engaged with a Call of Duty title - sure, shooters are fun, but generally a mindless experience, and I really didn't feel that way this time.

I want to feel engaged. I want to feel like I did when I was playing COD4. I'm not going to get that if they just pump it out. :(

gblock

Call of Duty: Project 8. Due in 2011. 4 Full years after the series has peaked and gotten boring.

chesterhybridz

I would have thought the numbering issue was obvious. As they are now putting out 1 CoD game per year it will soon look silly putting a number after the title. CoD4 was subtitled Modern Warfare, The next CoD (CoD5) is tiled CoD:World at War, I see the next CoD from IW being CoD:MW2

no1kevlin

Call of Duty 4 has at least another 3 years in it, well on the PC anyway, console games die after a few years.

londonlad

So when we will see Call Of Duty game with ragdolls?

zaagis

I hope they get a hosting-game server company that knows about load-balancing and better lobby-online system management. Plus maybe they can learn that if you don't refresh/release new maps every few months, gameplay drops like a rock. Rant out.

SigmundTheSeaMonster

Amazing, we finally get a year off from Call of Duty. Maybe Activision will get the idea and give Guitar Hero a year off, too.

Americo

@Bergerac: it was announced, but that was it... it was not once stated that it wasn't CoD

although I really hope it isn't, I don't think I'd enjoy a sci-fi CoD...

kathartik

Call of Duty 6: Future Warfare? Could be interesting.

Pantsman

Call of Duty: Guitar War

yay best of both worlds

KaliKOtt

I don't think a sci-fi Call of Duty would translate well. The reason that it did so well in the first place was the visceral feel of all the weapons since so many people could attest to the actual feel. What's making this not becoming another generic Halo/Resistance/Area-51/Killzone/Gears of War shooter?

B33f Wif Br0kri ? ? ?

Fuck WW games & may the company's that make them rot in the abbeys of bankruptcy!

Q80

Perhaps they could set one 20 or 30 years in the future. The weapons wouldn't be too far off from what are out now, and they could include some prototype weapons and technology.

okitasan

They aren't going sci fi with it they are going back to modern day. COD4 was super successful why screw with the formula. I am not saying I would be opposed to a sci fi cod but I think they will stay the course the sci fi game will be an entirely different title. (Guitar hero in space? just kidding)

onepoker

I assume this is going to be called call of duty 5 and not 6? The fact that world of war doesn't have a number kinda gives the impression that Activision aren't totally confident in Treyarch's abilities.

gerccorr

Activision blizzard making a CoD in a sci-fi setting?

Starcraft fps?? :O

Fermata

@lionkitten:
call of duty will never be like UT3; you can have sci fi without outlandish weapons and settings. "sci fi" could mean 30 or so years into the future in this case.
