Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Hands-on
Leaked Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer
Resident Evil 5 to remain gory, promises Capcom The Call of Duty franchise has been one of the best war shooters in the video game industry, surpassing that of Medal of Honor which was initially one of the highly sought after WWII shooters. Since then, the series has shifted away from the WWII battlefields and into a modern day Eastern European and Middle Eastern setting. That move represented by Call of Duty 4 has earned many game of the year awards and many respectable review scores. So what of a sequel?
In a financial conference held yesterday, Activision has revealed that a new Call of Duty title is expected to release during the company’s 2009 fiscal year, which runs from April 2008 to March 2009. Activision also confirmed that the new COD title will release on the PS3, PC, PS2, Wii, DS, and Xbox 360 platforms. They also confirmed that the time frame in which the new downloadable content for COD4 is to be released will be between April and June of this year. We'll remind you when that time comes.
The conference also confirmed that there are two new Guitar Hero games planned and that their first ever Bond game is due to release fiscal year 09 to coincide with the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace.

Not really interested in CoD5, especially if it is set in WW2 again- why take a step back? I can't see this being too good if they are only taking a year and a bit to make it.
who cares it's going back to the old ww2 era let me know when you go back to modern warfare then you will have my purchase! and this goes for any fps i spent all my life moving past the ww2 era it's done and over with why can't game developers?!!
who cares about COD5 its going to be in WW2 again.
if cod5 is set back in wwII im not intereseted that would be a step back and not a good step I think. They should go modern wars im in the states so something with desert storm or something futuristic would be cool l
why are they going back? can't the do a game that has todays wars like Iraq and the gulf war. do something else for a change. i liked cod 4 and wanted to play online but, traded it in for MGS4 and some other games. resistance 2 will be fun.
FUTURE warefare!!!
I'd like to see what they can do with the tech now in a WWII game.
If they're going back to WW2, then they've shot themselves in the foot. Nobody will buy it. Hopefully Infinity Ward will really up the ante with COD6 when they start on that. I want a COD game that will last longer than 4 hours in the campaign.
Not surprising, they have to please their investors. Bigger levels and more players in a game please!!
This article didn't say they were going back to ww2.
Activision had a really good thing going and they have to drive the bus back into the wall again. Infinity Ward is not developing it, tis set in the pacific (WWII era), and the fact that its coming to the Wii also this round tells me its going to be a gimped.
yep. i'll skip this one. COD3 is enough wwii for me.
I think the WWII horse has been beat dry. Keep it in the modern era.
Where has the article stated that the next Call of Duty is going to be a World War II shooter? Stop putting your feet in your mouths! Even if it is based during World War II, Infinity Ward could change things up by letting you play in the boots of a German soldier. And to be honest, there have been little to no good WWII shooters. Never judge a book by its cover.
Not good guys we have to wait another year. I might be dead until Cod5 comes out. lool
If COD5 is coming to the wii and ps2 aswell then it is definatly going to be bad news for ps3 and xbox360 players!!!
if its modern combat im ganna get pissed.......
if its made by trenach or whatever im probally not buying it, especially if its being downgraded for the wii. if infinity ward isnt making COD5, i wonder what game their going to make next? COD6 or a new IP?
it's coming out on the wii and ps2? i just hope this doesn't bring the quality of the ps3/360/pc games down.
maybe rent
Treyarch developing COD 5, while Infinity Ward is taking their time with COD 6.
For all you guys saying "where did they say that it will be set in ww2 for cod5"

you winey babies just get it and shut up
I hope Infinity Ward gets the next COD.
psn id: gingo.... probably gonna screw it up especially since its not infinity ward and they are goin bk to WW2, lookin more forward to cod6 where infinity ward will take the reigns again
Hmm I wonder how much negative feedback they are taking and if they will listen to this?
omg , guys you should appreciate this ,. as we know right know trayarch is making the 5th know and who knows 6th one might be in work to know . is good how they switch between developrs , infanityward is done great , i just wish they added lobby name like cod3 had them , but since we have party invite they took it out which is pretty smart !
I think if the GAMEPLAY is good and as tight as the current COD, then I'm definitely picking it up on day 1! I Don't even care about the setting. WW1 or WW2 is fine by me, just make sure the online component is tight and the weapon variety and locales are pretty and keep the PERKS, and everyone will probably give it a spin and they'll win more awards. But, Future warfare would be NICE!
If this is made by Infinity Ward, I'm expecting something good.
OMG!!!! cod4 was awesome set in the modern time. It was a great shooter and because of the modern time it was set in, the game was great.Now there goin back. y it makes no sense if cod4 was good why down grade to ww2 I hope they make another cod set in a good time setting because im tired of shooting a ww2 rifle.
bring it out baby!! COD 4 rocks
