I know some of you are looking forward to this and the rest of you hate it (I'm in the hate it camp). I really don't care what "Lofty Ambitions" they have. I think when people dont run out and buy this game like crazy, Activision will get the picture.

I'm still tired of WW2 games.. zzZZzz

can't wait...to don't buy it xD

So let me get this straight, I'll try to understand their thinking: They get worlwide praise for Modern Warfare. Why? Because it was different and innovative, gameplay and storywise. Adding to this, the fans' displeasure at CoD3. So for the follow up, they go back to the WW2 genre that has been washed out years ago and bored most of the FPS crowd? Amazing! You gotta love the retards at Treyarch!

i used to love WWII games. call of duty big red one was my fav. but after playing cod4 i dont know how iam going to go back. they are really going to have this make this game amazing for alot of people to jump on the band wagon.

Love it. Hopefully we get vehicles which is what COD4 sorely needed.

psn id: gingo... i dont think they will make the best game ever made but if they do as good a job infinity ward did with modern warfare then it will be excellent

I would never discourage a developer from trying to create "the best game in the world", even if I didn't like them.

I'm glad they have lofty ambitions, it's what more developers need.

But there's definitely no reason for me to pick this game up over Killzone 2 or Resistance 2. There's too many amazing exclusives coming up, they would have to do something massively out of the ordinary to catch our attention.

I would not pay $60+tax for a COD3+2 mod. This guys must be thinking that gamers are morons.

Just to let you all know the game will have seperate storys as it is not set in the pacific only it will have a Russian campaign and a German (mainly Berlin) campaign aswell

naHhh  ... i dont think so ... this game looks damn ugly ... man i hate WWII games  

Man, I thought they would at least have the common sense to set 100% of the game in the Pacific Theater.  Oh no...let's put part of the game in Europe to satisfy that .00001% of the gaming population who hasn't killed Nazis in a video game before.   You know what would have been better choice than a Europe campaign?  A campaign set in Alaska...it happened.  Set W.W.II in South America, on the moon, or a secret Japaneses underwater base!  At least it hasn't been done before.  At this point, I would rather them throw all historical accuracy out the window instead of dealing with more European Theater!!!

My first post :)

Im actually lookin forward to this, if it uses the same engine as COD4 then whats not to like?

www.ps3fanboy.com/photos/call-of-duty-world-at-war-4/                                                                                        well, if cod4 is the best shooter ever made, then this game should be the newest best shooter ever made. time will tell...

if this game fails they should know why.

Im really looking foward to this game, as long they dont make any mistakes - hopefully a demo comes in which to change ppls minds lol.

Should be ok. Sure the single player in COD3 was poor but online it was good fun. Im not dismissing it until ive seen more.

@ AdamDW.... how about WW2 setting for starters? Anyways...I am not hating on the developers or the looks of the game...it can be just as good as COD4, but the whole WW2 is just not my style. And the BS about COD6 being sci-fi isn't gonna go over too well with me either (even if IW is making it).

"Best game ever made"

Response: .......

i know its WW2 but...a good game is a good game. if its anything like modern warfare, then im sure i'll buy it.

I'm still tired of WW2 games.. zzZZzz

ME - Im tired of idiots who dont give games a chance.

On the contrary to Treyarch, I have pessimistic concerns for it =

HaHaHa how can it be the best game ever made if its gotta be made to fit on the 360...nuff said

@ Xdeth: The entire COD series has always sold pretty well, and Im sure this one will too, even after COD3, because the average customer isn't aware of Activision juggling developers with the series. I'm sure its probably been said before, but I think this whole process is a money-maker for Activision, using the publics ignorance and such. Infinity Ward is there to make the truly quality names in the series, which gets the name out there, along with some great review scores. Then, for less money, they throw in Treyarch to make a sequel that will be half as good, yet make just as much money (because of all the people unaware of the switch in developers).

As for "best game ever", honestly, I like the optimism, and I hope its actually used as a driving force when they are making this game, but when "best game ever" comes to mind, can you really imagine seeing a FPS with that claim to fame, no less a WW2 FPS? Really?

Its Treyarch so I predict, (Drum Roll).................................. no higher than and 8. I would be ashamed if I made games like they did CoD3 was absolutely horrible.

i encourage people to look at this game with an open mind because no one has really done WW2 right yet give them a chance this is where they can prove themselves as devs

If there ambitions were to make the best game ever, wouldn't that give them a reason to not make anymore? XD Pfft go backing on tried and true scenario's speak more in terms of renovation then innovation.

THis game is gonna be good all you guys are complete idiots... Maybe it will be the next COD4

No, no AND NO!!!! Stay away from Call Of Duty 5!

They should make a call of duty in primitive times. Cutting people with carved stone and crappy bow and arrows and bow and arrow with poison or something. Smashing people's head with stone. Maybe just aboriginal type of call of duty. Even better American Indians vs. American Indians vs. Incas vs Mayans but I guess Call of Duty isn't about that. I know! Call of Duty in Russia during Cold War times going Commando or even Vietnam! I don't know about this WW2 stuff anymore you know? I'm not going to buy the game for one new weapon even though it's cool. I'm with the people who say it's overdone and tiring. The characters don't even look as cool as those in Modern Warfare.

well i will be glad to see all the kids and idiots leave the series to those of us that actually enjoy ww2 games. we only have a few and you guys stole it from us with this pathetic game cod4. a game where you customize your weapons so that a mp5 has sniper rifle accuracy and no weapons are even needed to be aimed because you just shoot from the hip with steady aim and all is good....oh and my very very favorite two perks the juggernaut + lag = invincible and the i suck but still kill you because i have marterdom. cod4 is  a joke of a game. it is made for the masses where a 7 year old, 1st time player, and a veteren online player are all equal because they dumb down the game mechanics. i loved all the cod franchise before...sure some weren't as good as others but they almost always had the gunfiring mechanics down pat....it actually took gaming skill to shoot people. leave modern warfare for socom, tom clancy, and battlefield and the hundred other modern fps. cod has and should always be a ww2 game. the only thing better than this game going back to ww2 is the fact that it should be released in early (2010) because 4th quarter 2009 runs into 2010 financially for companies. that means the next cod modern warfare game could come no earlier than 3 years away....lol SWEET!!!!

 I couldn’t agree more.

@davin_g: World War 2 or not, Treyarch is the developer, so have fun with that.

Aaw man, I really want to hate this game. Since CoD 4 was so amazing. But I can't... It seems they might just get it right this time. I sure hope so...

lol i hate sum ppl cuz this is the real COD franchise but COD4 is in modern the only COD which is in a modern Era...But COD5 could still be better than that cuz is also using de COD4 Machine
