CoD hasn't had a good shooter since UO. Resistance 2 actually brings something new to the FPS genre, whereas, WoW is basically a revamped CoD2. No thanks. If I want to play it, I'll download it for my PC. Thankfully, no such piracy issues on my PS3.

I love COD 4 not interested in world war shooters! Also Gears and Resistance will be huge this x-mas, COD 5 has no chance. Bring on COD 6! Inifinity Ward rule!

COD 5 beleive it or not has a huge chance, The beta is impressive.

it is basically COD4 back in ww2, not for me, very nice looking, but resistance 8 player co-op, gears 2 4 player co-op, sorry cod6 maybe when infinity ward are back in the driving seat

I have been playing the beta too and wasn't that impressed, along with quite a few people I know. The map makin is poor but am willing to wait for the full game to make proper judgement as it is a beta

the best shooter this xmas?bah!3 words:
FAR CRY 2

yep gotta say its fantastic, single player amazing free roaming with over 100 hours game play and online so cool, with its own map editor !! cant beat it, no need to wait for new map packs and pay for em, make your own !!!

CoD: WaW the best shooter this year?!
Better than Gears or Resistance?!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was the best joke I read for a long time.

looks a great game but after playing both COD 5 and the resistance 2 beta trials i think resistance is the game to beat (but i have not tried gears of war 2 yet).

ign scores resistance fall of man 9.5 beat that Mr COD 5

YEP ive got the R2 beta, is very refreshing, 8 player co-op is simply hectic, real team game, it does really freshen up the fps genre for me !! i wil pass on cod5 as its no cod4

Lol Far Cry? No chance.

Hey guys,

This is Josh Olin, the Community Manager here at Treyarch Studios - just wanted to give you a heads-up that Noah Heller does not work for Treyarch, he is a Sr. Producer at Activision.

We at Treyarch worked really hard and are excited for our game, and are happy to hear Activision is excited as well. If they think we're "best shooter" material we see that as a compliment.

We're always humbled by our community and want you to be our judge =).

Regards,
-JD

Really looking forward to this game!

If you treyarch guys are looking at this message then listen up. Me and about 100 people i know who have COD 4 think COD 5 looks worse. Modern warfare was the way to go.

Seriously hand on heart if COD 4 and COD 5 were released on the same day this year everyone ive spoken to about it would get COD 4. COD 4 looks better yet you've had and extra year.

Everyone i know is sick to death of this WW2 genre and it very boring. COD 4 has set the bar now and there's no going back. Its either modern warfare with red dot sights and P90's or nothing. I know you put effort into it but your deluded to think people will actually buy this and love it. Ive played the beta and already ive decoded instead of buying this im going to buy back COD 4 and thats just a joke.

You have more perks ect but ffs we want our SAW's, 50Cals and 'cool' weapons not this **** weve seen 100 times befor and is useless. An m14 red dot sight or an M1 grand with a cross hair. How have you spent a year making this and not thought "are we going backwards" ill never know

yeah you guys are such a weenie.

i dont care if your not or you gonna buy it but in the end you will buy it. so stop being such a cry baby and STFU......

@1: I seriously hope that MCV is logging IP addresses on these comments. Because, to say that you are going to "download" it on a games industry board, where developers (like me) are going to read it, is quite frankly, stupid.

i agree (16) - MCV you should get the ip addresses of these idiots and pass on to the relevant governing force to deal with them.

downloading games does not help anyone in this industry!

Hello all,

We have reason to believe this is not actually a pirate or torrent fan – but somebody deliberately trying to sabotage our comments system and upset our retail community. Many of these ‘conversations’ actually come from the same IP.

Not 100% sure why they're doing it - unless they're from a rival site or something.

Sad, really, but there you go – some people have too much time on their hands.

Stick with us. We're removing their comments and blocking their IP where we can.

Your assistance in helping us remove these unhelpful elements is much appreciated.

Cheers,
The MCV team

I fell like the only one who's glad that WW2 is back, I loved UO and COD2, give me a Kar 98K over an M16 any day. I played the original COD to death on PC multilayer so probably a bit biased to WW2. I don't know why people have a go a Treyarch, its not Activision so its not like they are diverting recourses away from the development of COD6, COD 5 is a separate game, if you want it get it, if not you can wait for COD6. You can't make the same game to suit a tiny part of the market. Merrit COD 5 on its own aspects and be happy that we have another game to play with :)

Thank God there are some people out there with common sense. You can't compare a game like COD 5 to COD 4 it's like comparing Halo 3 to Counter Strike. Sure COD 5 is in world war II everyone knows. Trey Arch is trying to avoid the monotony of that by letting us see the pacific campaigns. It brings a lot of new things to the COD table so calling it a downgrade of COD just doesn't fit. If you didn't like it after playing the beta that's nice you have an opinion just like everyone else. If you didn't want it once you heard World War II you should try to be more open-minded. I for one am going to buy this game the week it releases.

I have not played the beta, but I am looking forward to COD5. My girlfriend is already sick to death of me and "that flaming xbox" so another COD game could be divorce material. Plenty more fish in the sea.

I am more excited about Jasper though than COD 5. As soon as I get a positive ID on one of those, then there will be a new Elite sat under my TV.

CoD4 is a great game and CoD3 was a sucker, but now I have confidence that Treyarch will probably publish the most intense CoD so far. It does not look worse than CoD4 - since it's the same engine - and WWII does have lots and lots of cool military operations to play thru, so it's far from dead. I want variety and not a strict limitation on modern warfare. That was a cool idea and it is fun to play, but let CoD be open for all kind of warfare I say - including WWII games. My only real question is why didn't they stick to the motion captured animations of CoD4? The animation in the WaW MP totally sucks, it looks like these animations are directly imported from CoD3. If Treyarch is using the CoD4 engine why didn't they simply use the animations from this engine and put some WWII uniforms on them? This is really something that drives me nuts, couldn't believe it when I first played the beta.
