Darth Vader's Soul Calibur IV stage in actionThis past weekend we uncovered that Call of Duty 3 masterminds, Treyarch, were looking into the idea of bringing the Call of Duty franchise back to its World War II roots. Now in an involving path of twist and turns, we can now bring fourth new information that sheds light on this possibility, plus more.
For a number of years, developers have raided the World War II era for content to create their latest title with. In specific, the European Theatre of the conflict has received the most attention.
As such, many have suggested that developers have not dug deep enough into the European aspect while some believe they need to lie off for a while -- I mean, how many times can we as gamers expect to storm the beaches of Normandy?
One portion of World War II that is constantly left in the dark is the Pacific Theatre, one of the portions of WWII that held some of the most important battles like Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, and Midway. Now it appears that the developers of Call of Duty 3 not only might be considering the notion of bringing COD back to WWII, but to the Pacific Theatre conflict of WWII in Call of Duty 5.
If this is true, then it would make only the 2nd time when a major WWII game explores the Pacific conflict with the other one being Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault from Electronic Arts. This is also not counting the History Channel's: Battle for the Pacific, which flew a little under the radar in terms of mainstream appeal and attention.
Call of Duty 4 is considered by many to be one of the better games and indeed in the whole year of 2007, as it received the award for best military game at last night’s Video Game Awards on Spike TV.
With great success, people might find some comfort in the new modern realm and might not be too willing to take the trip back to 65 years or so. We will bring you more on this once info surfaces.

I really wish wouldnt do this game.
why wwll?? i love cod4 but this is crap i wont be buying cod5.
Treyarch F***ed up CoD3. It was linear, the combat was shoddy and worst of all the gameplay mechanics looked incomplete. I have little hope for CoD5 and will most likely skip it.
Agree with FantasyStar totally.
I'm surprised they're letting Treyarch near COD again after the royally great mess that was COD3. One of the worst FPS's I played in a long time. It was a distinct step backwards from COD, and even COD2.
And why do some many games developers return to WWII for inspiration. Surely there are more entertaining wars out there ? (That was meant to be ironic).
I'd like to see someone take a real good attempt at a WWI trench game. COD4 showed that you can flood the screen with AI based characters and make it look realistic - this is what we need.
Something that makes you sit back in awe - like the first time you saw the beach landing to medal of honour on the PS2! Remember that!
Or the Stalingrad river crossing in COD!
finally the pacific. it was brutal and all that jazz. give it a chance
I think we're all tired of WW2. Lets move on.....WW2 was not the only war in our history!!! Lets focus on FPS's now or the future. GEEZ....
COD4 is the best game of the year by far. Treyarch make a bad job with COD3 on ps3. again with the wwII, men this is boring. You are doom Treyarch. I will not buy COD 5. Get lost Treyarch or play some COD4 and learn a few things.

Hmmm....I really thought/hoped the COD series had outrgrown it's stale WWII roots - but hopefully a pacific setting may provide an interesting aspect - but I still want muh Modern day stuff, c'mon. It'll be funny if this all turns out to be true and the "success" of the next installment is nowhere near that of COD4.
It's gay how treyarch is making the game, infinity ward is why the franchise is still living.
WOOT SAMURAI SWORDS FTW !
i wanna see ninjas or this game is instant phail !
Well, i hope they will make it look like good as now, the crap game MEDAL OF HONOR was really bad. And i dont no why the developers arent being creative with the new games. They keep creating same game over and over. I think they just want to make money instead of taking risks by creating new games and does not sell well or help them. I remember with ps1 there were more games and longer then ps2 and ps3.
JEEZ people, give the game a chance first before condemming it !!
oh god this has to be untrue. its to wierd traveling through time back and forth. stick to modern and go WWII in cod 7 if you must go back at all
Maybe you play as a future guy... from the future, who got some sweet weapons, and then you need to change the outcome of the war? Or maybe a future guy who is against the other future guy, and tries to make the story stable! Multiplayer could be awesome!! 4 teams: Good future, bad future, most of the old world, Hitler...
i dont mind invading the beach once more ... specially now with nex gen gameplay and graphics
noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
psn id: gingo.. i think they should get some folks over from infinity ward to show them how a game should be made because if it is half as good as call of duty 4 it will be worth buying
They should just leave WWII and move on to other wars or modern days. There are too many games that are based on WWII, that after a while, they just get boring and pretty much repeatitive.
It does matter if the story is based off WWII. If the presentation of this game is good it will be a good game. Example: good story, good gameplay, Great online multiplayer.
why don't they make it like a vietnam game there isn't one console game that is for vieatnmam
what about a beef-up falkland islands game
At least it's in the pacific, i'm sick of europe.
F--- off Treyarch, you hacks
Well my only reason for buying CoD4 was because it was not in the WW2 era. If its not modern times then its not for me. Hopefully some great RPG's will be out for me to pass the time...plus I don't see me putting down CoD4 anytime soon.
i really hope they don't do that. going back in time... it don't make sense
Actually cowman285,there is one vietnam game,http://www.conflict.com/Vietnam/default.aspx
They also made two desert storm games,I owned both and they had great multiplayer
I could care less about COD5, treyarch ruined COD3. I'm SICK of WWII games, what about a trench warfare of WWI or Vietnam or the Gulf War. Heck Civil War would be better than WWII now.
sorry but i can't stomach another wwII COD. Been there, done that!
please no more ww2
How about Vietnam? Anything other than World War 2
Really want me some more MODERN WARFare.
Better, and interesting, but really the thing that really bothered me before was that Treyarch was doing to game. They are an extremely horrible studio.
i think psu should of put cod3 on thier list of 5 worst games of the year and if it's the same g33ks that ar going to make cod5 i'll just buy another shooter game instead, like sof payback, lol!
maybe if treyarch gave up and infinity ward made a WWII title maybe it wont be as s**tty as COD 3 and maybe they might even have 95% destructible environments for this i am looking forwards to it give it a try if it doesnt work get BF bad company. and someone send a letter to activision saying they need to not let treyarch make their games anymore heck i would make a better game than them, hopefully they might combine the two wars, WWII and Vietnam and make it a heck of a lot better
