What we didn't know is that, according to this tipster, the game's set in the under-utilized Pacific theater, something only one major WWII shooter - the awful Medal of Honour: Pacific Assault - has tried before. While (if true) the move back to well-worn WWII is mostly disappointing, if this game can branch out and explore some of the less "popular" aspects of the conflict (China, Burma, New Guinea), it might not be so bad.

Kind disappointed in this, they should have went forward with COD4. I would have loved to see some modern warefare vehicles.

Wow. Just wow. CoD 4 was probably the best overall game of 2007 becuase they ditched the WWII scene, and now they're going back..?
Do they not realize that CoD 4 is beating Halo 3 on xbox live!?
Uggh. We'll just have to wait and see.

this stinks

Call of Duty is a successful franchise, so after the best game out of them all, CoD4:MW, they go back to WWII. I just think that they are heading for the wrong direction.

That's retarded, I was really looking foreword to Call of Duty 5 : Moderner Warfare or Call of Duty 5 : Future Warfare, but seriously, bad move...

Haha, when I read it, I was thinking: "Damn, that's retarded."

Well most gaming companies has there way, and what they started off and loved to do they can't leave it. It's hard for them to do that, and since they started off in WWII, and loved making those games it's hard to leave that. I believe they will make another CoD4 as things get more high-tech in the battle field, only because it made the most fans and the most success. It's only because they love the history and been able to go back in time a real live it.
That's why bungie will also make a couple of games in the future almost like Halo.

Yeah, but the thing is that the past has already happened, they can't make things up and lie to make the game funner. The past is well known, we know what people in the past had and how they were. The future is limitless, Bungie took the right direction, the future hasn't happened yet, they can put whatever they want to in the game because humanity doesn't know what will happen. You can only do so much with a game based on past events.

The future is forever...
