Call Of Duty 5 - Taking a step backwards

A-Bomb · 12-09-2007, 12:56 AM

Treyarch, the development team behind Spider-Man 3 and Call of Duty 3, recently put up a job listing for a Call of Duty level designer, presumably for the fifth game in the series (which Treyarch is reportedly working on). However, a bit of text in the listing may reveal the direction which Treyarch is taking Call of Duty 5 -- and from the looks of things, that direction is backwards.

The listing says that applicants would be well-served by being "a fan of World War II shooters," causing some to believe that the game will take place during the WWII era. We've seen less logical rumors come through the mill, but we still can't help but scoff at this gossip. Who would want to play a game based on WWII? What's a war game without AC-130 gunships and guided anti-tank missiles? We'll tell you - it's boring. We'll take futuristic weaponry over rich cultural heritage any day of the week.

Good. Hopefully IW will do the right thing and go back to WWII as well and drop this modern warfare Tom Clancy's Battlefield Of Duty garbage.

Sometime I want to

people that claim that complete stupidity. There are more modern shooters than WWII shooters on the market.

Modern weapons are awful, modern wars are moronic (Well all wars are but at least WWII is interesting) and when it comes to the game Tom Clancy's Battlefield of Duty 4 took a large step backward with level structure and no playable vehicles? Sad.

Just the fact Treyarch is involved with CoD5 is a step backwards. I don't understand why Activision needs to milk the franchise by having 2 devs crank out titles under the same franchise banner.

Oh wait, because they're Activision...
