Fingers crossed that it doesn't suck!

Developer: Treyarch. [spoiler]IT WILL SUUUUUUUUUUUCK[/spoiler]

Also, the COD4 engine on the Wii? That's kinda neat.




Posted by Ant

They should have taken a year's break after the glory that was CoD4.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

It's by a different developer.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Though IW seems to be starting up on CoD6 if the "Message of the Day" is any indication.

But yeah, it sounds exactly like CoD3. In other words: huge teams, ****ty vehicles and an all around lame game.




Posted by Speedfreak

I thought Treyarch weren't allowed to make COD games anymore?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

CoD3 made a buttload of cash. Activision doesn't care who makes every other game, cause they know it'll sell like hotcakes no matter what. So idk, doesn't seem to be the case, doesn't sound very business savvy either!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH THIS GAME WILL TOTALLY KICK ***




Posted by Dexter

I'm excited for Call of Duty 6!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I like box 3 because it reminds me of Ninja Gaiden. Though box 4 is also good.




Posted by Dexter

Box 3 is my favorite. Apocalyptic!




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

I like Box 4. Box 3 isn't HELL YEAH enough.




Posted by Dexter

Box 1 and 4 are retarded to me. It seems cheap how they cover up the faces.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I like my characters faceless. They need face-obscuring helmets, balaclavas, masks or whatever else. I just don't like my guy to have a regular, boring, ugly face.

Not that the cover has any impact on that, but same applies to the cover. Don't wanna see some dude's ugly mug all over the box.




Posted by Slade

hey look it's the guy who doesn't have a 360


Box 4 is the best because it's a really cool stance and his face is partially hidden. You can tell how no face is better than full on face by looking at the first two boxes. Somehow having some guy being all "YEEEAAARRRGHH" just takes all the power out of it. If there's no real face, then you can attach a lot more meaning to it.

but, wow. those flame effects on box 1 are the lamest thing I've seen all day.

Same ol' WWII, hmm? And here I was thinking that the Germans had started something new.

It's got japanese nazis now

and they have swords




Posted by TimeSkipz

KAMIKAZE!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Few screens leaked. Doesn't look terrible, but for something that's supposed to be an updated CoD4 engine it sure as hell doesn't look as good.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

SHOW US THEM

I want that Sega Robot Girlfriend thing I see in the video below.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

lol, the way that thing is pitched makes guys sound so pathetic




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Wow, despite being set 60 years earlier, World at War looks a LOT like COD4.




Posted by Dexter

I was automatically reminded more of CoD3 instead of 4.

I'd totally rather get that robot.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah, it definitely looks more like CoD3 to me.




Posted by Borealis

i think gttv is actually going to cover it on their next episode or something. look out for that.

looks pretty lame. Snipers can camp in trees... not good.




Posted by Ant

****ing snipers.

seriously, if you're a sniper I hate you. ****ING SHOTGUN4LYFE




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Flamethrowers? More like LAMEthrowers! And get a load of that katana. What the ****.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah... I'd rather use a knife. Though I guess you can't have a pacific war game without katanas.

Full-length trailer. Things to note: the ghillie suit look terrible. I don't know if that's what they actually looked like back them, but they look like crap and world war 2 should be ashamed. Second, you can blow up the fuelpack on a flamethrower's back. Kinda cool. But game looks like ****. Brown and green.

[quote]Second, you can blow up the fuelpack on a flamethrower's back.Just like Saving Private Ryan!

The flare mechanic looks kinda cool. Would be interesting to have a near-pitch dark mutliplayer map where a flare went off every thirty seconds or so. The voiceover at the start of the trailer GRATED ON MY NERVES.

So much jungle and grass. I'm not gonna be able to see a thing. :[




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Not at all buddy. You're ****ed, luckily the game looks like **** so no one's going to play it.

I just want a map in a more modern game where the provided night-vision goggles come in handy.

NEW SCREENSHOTS

TREYARCH CONFIRMED FOR RIPPING OFF AC-130 MISSION

AND THE SNIPER FLASHBACK




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

No surprise there. Did the same with CoD3. Too bad neither mission seems to have the same intensity or cool factor as the CoD4 missions. I mean, nothing will beat being in an untouchable plan firing massive cannons on enemies who can't even see you all while hearing cool, calm radio chatter about people dying below.
