A New Way To Do Your Duty
Call of Duty returns, declaring WWII finally over!
by Marc Nix

April 25, 2007 - Just when you were about ready to run up to the window and yell, "I'm mad as hell at World War II shooters, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!", Activision and developer Infinity Ward are announcing today that the fourth entry in the Call of Duty franchise is moving on from World War II.

The game is not quite ready to be unveiled (the game's trailer is being debuted on ESPN during the NFL Draft on Saturday), but the subtitle of the game gives away the new direction -- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The game looks set to transfer combat operations from WWII to the modern battlefields our soldiers face today.

Little is known about Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare at the moment, but we're hopeful that the move to recent times also ushers in other big changes for the acclaimed franchise. Although some gamers are bound to feel that this sequel is coming uncomfortably quick on the heels of Call of Duty 3, franchise creator Infinity Ward has actually had a good deal of time to work on part 4 -- developer Treyarch handled COD3 while COD4 was deep in development. Activision has not yet announced which platforms the game will be released on, but IGN confirmed in February of 2006 that the development team had been scoping this game out primarily for Xbox 360 and PS3.

I don't know. Maybe it will be good. Infinity Ward is developing it, so we can keep Treyarch hands off. Here's to hoping it won't be scripted sequence after scripted sequence of linear gameplay and 3 year old AI + horrendously repetitive death animations.

Oh, gimme a break! They haven't been any good since United Offensive, this will be the same kind of crap with new skins and even more spawning.. Terrorists? Well, if they make profit..

Why the hell would you bump this thread just to quote something that was posted months ago? We already have another Call of Cuty 4 thread.

IMO all the Infinity Ward CoD games have been quite good, although if you ask me "Modern" warfare is done to death about as much, if not more than ww2, however as with many things i guess it depends how you do it. If I have to play one more game where all the good guys have m16s though i will ****ing SCREAM.

[I cant read.]

ehh sounds fun and pretty kewl, all the others one have been pretty fun. i just hope they add something new to the series.

[Scorch]

What? No! I just got Call of Duty 3!

I admit it will probably be hard to add something new ... but damnit, it needs some Australian soldiers in it!

Another legend from down under who I agree with. It's about time, eh? Cheers!

Actually I can't wait for this, it looks good. Many people hate the CoD series, but I luv em.

I'm glad that you get to play as the Ruskies. But I'm not glad about being stuck with SF units. I prefer front line battles... Marine, tankman, attack helicopter gunner, etc. Because they fight larger battles with a wider "playing field".

I disliked MOHAA because I was alone fighting off-guard Germans in remote locations doing intelligence and sabotage operations.

What I liked about COD2 was that I got to be a normal soldier, running the defenses at Pointe du Hoc, taking Hill 400, surviving Stalingrad, capturing Caen... All with a number of comrades alongside. Like real life.

Special forces, and even snipers, don't go alone. They always operate in teams. If I am stuck as an SF man I better have a healthy number of teammates, who don't get killed off right away leaving me alone.

So far I saw a sniper mission, where, thankfully, I have a buddy with me. Snipers operate in pairs, with maybe a number of pairs operating within a single unit.

Yeah that was fun until you stopped for a second and realized that your comrades would just keep respawning to fill up a given number of spots and be no help at all against the equally respawning enemy. Makes it all feel so inconsequential. "Oh Pvt. Johnson is dead...meh....Pvt. Franks will replace him in 5 seconds".

[LSJ]

Yeah, that was funny actually. 6 guys got mowed down by MG42s in a second. Five seconds later 6 identical men come running up to me from rubble.

But unlike in COD2, this is modern warfare, Your men wear bodyarmour, so if they get shot they won't die right away to be replaced by a constant stream of clones.

What it needs is a german campaign.
That would be a refreashing thing to see.
Or maybe during the Korean war.
Modern combat is just bleh.

Why would you want to play as the Nazis? They committed a horrible crime. I prefer to kill nazis, and beat the living, ****ing **** out of them

[meltdown]

Wait.....there was a Call of Duty 3?!?!?

So did the Soviets, Brits and Americans. What is your point. I want to kill commies, they killed at least twice as many people as Hitler ever did.

Because the average German soldiers where good guys, only the SS were a bunch of idiots worth killing. Besides the Germans had the coolest weapons, besides the Tompson and Garand.

I'd love, for once, to play as the Germans in WWII. I'd also love for the COD series to come back to PC. Oh well... Maybe it's for the best. I agree the COD United Offensive was the last great game from this title. It's been down hill since then, especially considering the the move to Xbox.

So.. moving to Xbox made the series worse? Doesn't make sense to me.

I don't understand why people want to play as the Germans. It would be an interesting perspective, but if there ever was a war that was "the good guys vs the bad guys," WWII was it. Let's kill Americans to prevent them from stopping mass genocide. Why not just play as the insurgents in Iraq? Space bar is the "suicide bomb button."

Seriously, I understand most Germans were just fighting for their country and not the Nazis, but I'm not prepared to defend the nation led by the most evil man in the history of the world, even in a video game.

Well, what we are hoping for is actually choice that should be there. Unfortunatly developer's decision are often influenced by idiocy of "political correctness".
