As this game isnt made by infinity ward and is already in developemnt by the team that ruined cod3 im not holding my breath. Its call of duty in name only and will not be anythign like the quality nad balance of REAL COD games made by Infinity Ward
I think activision dropped the ball farming out there prize title to people who already let them down last time.

All they have to do with the 5th one is kill the Juggernaut Perk! Oh and kick all the 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 year olds off and i would buy it in a heart beat!
Maybe its a deal they did years back?
Maybe some of the Infinity Ward with help them?!
Can Infinity Ward keep making new maps maybe we dont need a 5 if we keep getting new maps for 4?
“Ugh.”

Why do they insist on not letting IW develop it?
IW /made/ CoD a series, and made CoD4. CoD3 was a crappy title, so I don't expect to be getting another CoD 'til CoD6

The reason they give Treyarch the title every other year is due to the two year development cycle. COD5 will use the COD4 engine and Infinity Ward have ave advised on the development. COD5 will be set in WWII to end the story of the first 3 games. All COD games will be set in modern or futuristic enviroments from then. COD3 wasn't actually that bad, and with IW helping on COD5 (and using the COD4 engine) will be hard to think this game will be anything else but awesome.

yeah, cod 3 was that bad. none of my cod buddies played it much at all. go look at all the 360 players and no one i know has over 300 achivement pts, ie, they didn't even play or finish story mode.
see you at cod 6
“Meh.”

Blah, this game is already reeking of mediocrity, I'm not gonna hold my breath as COD3 was horrid, COD5 will be coming to PS2 and Wii (the fact that COD4 was next-gen only and that this will be previous gen compatible already says a lot about the quality of the work put into this game), AND it's returning to WWII. WWII is played out already guys, and Treyarch is too scared to step up to the plate and make an attempt to make a great game and continue the COD4 saga, so they're returning to what they messed up in the first place and try to redeem themselves that way, and it can be said that it most likely won't happen given their track record.

easy 1 for u guys to get a little input from all cod fans, ask in a pole what they like better, old ww2 warfare eg: weapons, OR dod 4 MODERTN COMBAT, TRY NOT TO DICTATE what we have to play coz u and all who fund it will lose out drasticaly...look at cod 4, and u will understand....better weapons, this is a new generation, so get with the program guys.

You finally get it right with Modern Warfare and now its back to WWII?????
Heres a message you want to hear guys....I DIDNT BUY COD3 because the gaming community said it sucked!! From what Ive read already sounds like Im saving my money on 5 now!
Infinity Ward Rules! I get map making help there all the time...great bunch. I'll wait til they're steering the ship again if you dont mind!!!
