It seems the bandwagon idiots are coming out of the wood work and condemning the return to World War 2.

I'm still trying to figure out when people assumed the problem with modern FPS games emerged from them being set in World War 2. Setting has nothing to do with how the gameplay is handled. And the problem with the last 20 Medals of Honor has been the same. IE: They're all just Allied Assault with prettier textures. So when people say "no more WW2 plz" it really seems absurd. I think it would be better to say "no more American soldier no. 14515 at normandy plz".

COD5 in the Pacific should be interesting, But I say COD in WWI could be a damn good game, With how they manage to get those cinematic moments into the game so well

Perhaps they should make a daring move and let the player be on the Axis side for a change.

because a FPS in the pacific playing as the USMC isnt something we havent seen before (Hint: MOH: Pacific Assault)

Well, I still like the idea of habing COD in the pacific. CoD 4 was, after all, a great game. Felt like a movie, and I think it'll be fun to see just that in the pacific. Maybe a trip to Iwo Jima, who knows?

COD4 was nice, but I wish I hadn't bought it. The price tag vs length is just too wide. Maybe for $20 or so, but not $50.

I like Call of Duty's multi player, but with EVERY one of the game's, I have ALWAYS hated the single player. Even the first game fell through on me for this. If it wasn't for United Offensive I would have thrown CoD out and never approached the series again. I actually DID get rid of CoD2. Because the multiplayer was empty and broken and the single player campaign did NOTHING we hadn't seen in the first game. So it could go get bent.

It annoys me that to this day, CoD4 STILL has the same gameplay problems it had 5 god damn years ago. Infinitely spawning enemies, useless allies, AI that OBVIOUSLY guns only for the player, completely linear pathways through staggeringly tight levels in which every firefight occurs at spitting distance. Bah, BAH.

I'm just amazed that they finally listened and added Co-Op to a CoD game.

I'll be amazed when Infinity Ward finally gets off of its lazy ass and does something at least on par with current FPS games instead of "yet another awesome feature" we've seen in games since the late 90s! Anyone else remember them bragging endlessly about CoD4's bullet penetration as if they invented it? I think they need to go play Goldeneye again.

That's what I get a kick out of with the whole series. They've never done ANYTHING unique or remotely original. Yet somehow CoD is a million seller franchise that after the fourth game is as popular as Grand Theft Auto now.

Man, so many comments hating about the return to WW2, the Pacific theater have always been overlooked except when EA made Medal of Honor Rising Sun and Pacific Assault.

Well we may be in luck! Kuju are currently developing "To End All Wars", a WWI FPS. It's gonna be using the Unreal 3 engine so should be quite good. Fingers crossed eh?

I'd love to see Call of Duty: Vietnam.

Imagine the cinematic moments available there. Intense jungle firefights..never knowing when the enemy would strike..

Punji pits, whip traps, tripwires..

Yeah, more zombie enemies who just keep infinitely spawning behind that little shrub until the player walks over there and tells them to stop. That is if they don't use their super "AI cheat o-vision" to see the player sneaking up on them from the other side of hamburger hill. I'll bet the nonsense zero challenge vehicle level will take place in a Huey's gun turret.

United Offensive was the best COD of them all. After that it was the mediocre train to consoleville.

The only way I'm going to buy another COD game is if they stop with the super healing and make the multiplayer maps larger to better accommodate 64 players. I hated the introduction of the nade indicator in COD2. Luckily there were modded servers that removed that, among other changes, and made the game enjoyable for some time.

Anyway, CoD 5 in the Pacific doesn't really interest me. I was hoping for a German perspective. I anticipate that gameplay will be exactly the same as previous titles. Perhaps they will throw in a bullet indicator and a few more hundred ai spawns to please the more casual audience.
