Had no idea the next COD was out so soon. I'm still no where close to being bored of COD4. Not that excited by the going back to world war 2 stuff, i much prefere the Modern combat that COD4 covers.

Im not bored of CoD4 either. I will probably keep it even when i get WaW. I could play CoD4 all day. Well, i do
COD 5 will be shite.
Every COD after it will be Modern war, no doubt about it. Only problem this year was because it's 2 separate development teams making the games (Treyarch and Infinity Ward) and Treyarch (the shite one of the two) had already started working on COD5 before COD 4 was out. I'm sure if they knew COD4 would be as successful and popular as it is, they would never have went back to WW2.

Yeah, I heard that it's done by two seperate teams. I used to like CoD3 until I got 4. CoD3 looks absolutely shite in comparison now, the gameplay of 4 online is absolutely unrivalled.
They should just leave the WWII stuff for a while, the modern warfare is excellent.

Quite peeved at the prospect of it being a WWII game. Modern Warfare was one of the best FPS's I've ever played and the setting played a huge part in that.
If they really had to take a step back to the past, couldn't they have set it in 'Nam or something? That would have been far more interesting than yet another fucking WWII game.

Its going to be Championship Manager.
I've always been a fan of WW2 games for one main reasons, the weapons. It gives a greater level of skill to take someone down with a KAR single shot rifle than it does a M5. Modern weapons are too powerful, too easy to use and too quick to reload. While that might be better for a real life battlefield, it makes for a game slightly lacking in actual skill. It's one of the reasons I don't play Quake or UT online. I don't want a shit load of rockets I can launch without thinking or a laser that has no shooting distance or trajectory arc. In fact if they were to make a WW1 game I reckon I would like that even more.
btw, is CoD:WaW available on all platforms? CoD1 & 2 were, then 3 was console only, then 4 was all and I seem to remember an interview with IW claiming that they will be releasing ever second one as a multi platform game.
Oh, and before anyone says it, the ONLY way to play FPS is mouse/keyboard ..

No, I quite fancy trying to crawl through mud only to advance about 5 feet in a day then pinned down by my own artillery and having to take cover behind a dead horse!
I was a bit coubtful about COD4 being modern,but i was won over by the game play and just how much you can vary your weapons set.
The thing that does annoy me however is the way some people run around firing grenade launchers at everything.try shooting people with a bullet instead.
As for the new one,Ric is right,shooting someone with a single shot rifle takes a bit more skill than pray and spray type of people you get on COD4.
Seemingly on the new one you can use vehicles as well,so it bring a different slant on the game.
A ww1 FPS is long overdue though.Imagine the sniping you could do,along with trying to work your way over bombed terrain to get to the enemies trench.
looking forward to the new game when it comes out,

)You say that like it's a surprise!
Got to say I don't like vehicles in a game unless you have, like Red Orchestra, different classes of soldier where some can drive certain vehicles. For example, in the real world you wouldn't expect the average squaddie to be able to jump into a tank and start driving, and even more silly start aiming/loading/firing, without any training.
The problem with vehicles is shown perfectly in the Battlefield games. If any c*nt can fly a plane then people spawn then run straight for the airstrips, take the planes, fanny about, don't help the cause, then get shot down or crash only for the cycle to repeat itself. And the player gets respawned quicker than the vehicles do. Plus if you have FF on, which I think all games should with automatic bans for mass TK's and reciprical damage for occasional hits which are unavoidable at times, you have people "defending" the vehicle respawn points against their own team mates.
UO (United Offensive) was probably about the best balanced vehicle game, although interestingly not a game (well, expansion) done by Infinity Ward, but Raven if my memory serves me correctly.
seemingly the vehicles are jeeps and half tracks.I think that it is more for the weapons on these vehicles ,esp. the heavy guns.
On the consul versions,everyone seems to know how to work Anti Aircraft guns,as part of the game though.
I see where you are coming from with the planes and such,hopefully they will not put them in.
This is my first go at FPS online though,and i am enjoying it.I'll have a look at some others though and see how i get on.

Maybe it should be noted that it's not infinity ward who's creating the new Call of Duty so it'll more than likely not be anywhere near as good.

It's a fair point SF, but I will always vote for a WW2 game, over modern or futuristic battlefields. I just want to see them get creative with the WW2 scenarios. There's still not been a decent jungle based one (MoH Pacific Assault was God damned awful). WW2 doesn't have to be all about romping through the bombed French countryside.

Aye, I meant that a bit tongue in cheek I suppose about it being set in the future but it's something that could be looked at. As far as Jungle warfare goes, it has it's obvious limitations and problems.
You're right though, it's not all about romping through the French Countryside but we've kinda seen and done it all already (with varying degrees of success). What else can they do?
I just feel that CoD4 was a much needed overhaul for the series. CoD4 is also the only game I am still playing online since I got it, I absolutely love the multiplayer modes.

Yeh, totally agree. CoD4 is a great game and I am sure IW were dying (no pun intended) to do a modern game, as they have been doing WW2 games since the start of this century (IW are some of the team who originally did MoH:AA). I used to play the Revolt mode in CoD1, and the Insurgency mod for CoD2, so I do like the modern warfare games, but as I said it's just the power of the weapons I am not so keen on.

Gameplay
Swimming elements will be introduced to the series for the first time in single player and multiplayer. While in water, the player can not sprint and will only move at half speed.[4]
[edit] Multiplayer
World at War will feature cooperative gameplay (two players via split-screen or four players online) for the first time in the franchise. Vehicles, first introduced in Call of Duty: United Offensive, will return as well as new squad-based elements within multiplayer.[2]
[edit] Plot
One part of a level entitled Maken Raid shows an Allied prisoner of war being tortured by the Japanese before having his throat slit by a katana. The player's character witnesses this scene and is later rescued by US Marines who liberate the camp.[5]
[edit] Development
World at War will have a two-year development cycle, double that of Treyarch's previous title, Call of Duty 3.[4] The game will be powered by an enhanced version of Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine - improvements have been made to the physics engine and lighting model. Environments are now more destructible and can be set on fire with the flamethrower (which features propagating fire). Bullets can also cut holes in thin wood, making a gap big enough for the player to climb through.[4]
A full-sized replica PBY Catalina was constructed for motion capture use.[4]

Yeh, they need to make the flamethrower have a really slow reload rate and the backpack of fuel slowing the character down. Otherwise every c*nt and his dog will be using them. They need to be a tactical weapon not an offensive weapon.
Edit: btw, the flamethrower in RTCW was ace! Easily the best physics of a flamethrower in a FPS.
And the backpack of fuel has to blow up when shot.

Er.. multiplayer, big style! Swimming or the ability to duck underwater is a great addition to objective based gametypes. Not so sure about single player but it would add a touch of realism. Nothing sillier than being forced over a bridge when stream just a few feet deep is blocked off.
Edit: Far Cry used it a lot in SP, and it worked well then.

That's totally trivialising the effect being able to use the water. I am guessing you haven't played clan before. Public servers maybe less so, but the ability to use the water adds a lot of strategic elements.
I really don't know why you are so against it. It seems a completely and utterly natural evolution in FPS, imo.

Nobody expects to be able to do that. You seem to be thinking the extreme worst possibilities of adding in this, rather than actually considering the positives it could add.
However it does need to be implemented correctly. You should make a slight rippling noise as you enter the water and a noise when you come to the surface for a breath. You should still be visible in the water (depending on the daylight within the map) and it should be as difficult to get in and out of water as it is in real life.

I'm sure if they knew COD4 would be as successful and popular as it is, they would never have went back to WW2.

there will always be a market for the WW2 part of history. I doubt after this game there will always be modern warfare CODs.
