Activision has officially confirmed development of Call of Duty 5, revealing that the upcoming shooter will be set in "a new military theatre."
The fifth instalment in the highly popular franchise will be available for the PlayStation 3, PC, Xbox 360 and DS, and, unlike its predecessor, will also make the transition to PlayStation 2 and Wii.
Speaking in a conference call yesterday, Activision’s CEO, Mike Griffith, commented, "We'll bring the intensity of the recent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare title to a new military theatre, to engage our significantly larger user base which nearly doubled last year as new users came into the franchise.”
It is currently unknown whether or not Infinity Ward will be developing the game.
Stay tuned for more information on Call of Duty 5 as it breaks.

It better be infinity ward otherwise it will be crap like COD3
I think that Treyarch is doing COD 5....
Where do you all think it will be located at/what theater of war will it be set in?
what was wrong with cod3, it got awesome reviews and i played it to death all year til cod4 came out. i was on the 360 as i could not afford an ps3 on launch. maybe thats the difference
It will probably just be the rest of COD 4 they didnt have time to complete, COD4 was short you gotta admit it! COD 4.5 anyone???
cool
i am realy sick of WWII game .... i dont give a damn about this game ... maybe if they changed the theme of the game from WWII to something new (like Call Of Duty 5 : Future Wars) then i'll be intersted
It's Treyarch, it's WW2, and the theatre is the Pacific. I thought this was already widely known?
Think Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault and you're pretty much there.
Everybody keeps saying it will be based on World War II but I hope they dont go that way and keep things like in CoD4.
Please let Infinity ward be the development team.... COD3 was okay, but not as good as COD2 or COD4 in my opinion. Have to wait and see I guess.
If Treyarch does this....... *_*
EA is better than Treyarch
Activision had better listen to its fans or else this game will not sell.
It worries me even more that they are making for the Wii, PS2, and DS. This is not a good sign.
@ A_Ninja
yea like wars set in the future is very new ....
and looks like they are really spreading this game out xD but honesty everything but the ps3/360 ver would just be a waste of time...
I dont care about the location or war the game is based on, as long as it is in todays time frame.
don't go back to the ww2 weapons please, and make it so that we can add a rocket launcher and a scope on the guns
psn id: gingo.... i think it was stated that Treyarch are taking charge of this one so the game will go down a level from the standards of COD4 but at least we will get a solid multiplayer
i am realy sick of WWII game .... i dont give a damn about this game ... maybe if they changed the theme of the game from WWII to something new (like Call Of Duty 5 : Future Wars) then i'll be intersted
Sorry, no sci-fi crap for me. If you want a change, let's do a good Korea/Vietnam game.
yeah. they need to make it better than cod 4 don't turn it back into the 1st cod games
ok so you guys actually think Treyarch would embarass and wipe themselves off the gaming map by putting out a crappy C.O.D.5 ? Don't you think that after I.W. success that they would step up and equal or surpass part 4 ....part 3 wasnt ALL that bad..not even close to 4 ....but NOTHING is. So relax i think 5 will be great ....have hope you negative little warthogs you.
Tommyboy ;)
WW2 would feel so restricted now that COD4 has come out. There are lots of weapons that are not in COD4 (ie SA80) that another modern day warfare would be easy to do. NO MORE WW2, ITS GOTTEN REAL BORING!!!
my guess is that it's gonna be centered around the nuke that's still in the ship that sunk at the start of cod4 but it it's treyarch i won't buy it. infinity ward needs to be the developer. i also won't buy it if it's ww2.
It will be crap, if it can play on the PS2, Wii and DS, come on! This is a money grab!!!!
Vietnam War era would be very cool. I want some jungle warefare. Urban warfare has been done to death. Still, I wouldn't mind something set during the Tet Offensive :)
ok, the wii? and the Ps2 and the DS... money graber, just a waste of time for me.
The only reason why Call of Duty 5 will come out on the PS2 and Wii is for money reasons. I hate to say this, but the big multiplatform games like Call of Duty 5 (possibly) do not need to be released on the PS2 because current PS2 owners would become complacent and would feel that they don't need to upgrade to a PS3 because the same games are coming out on the PS2. Sony needs to discontinue the PS2 by the end of next year at least or these developers need to stop making the big multiplatform games on the PS2. It's time for these PS2 owners to fess up and get a PS3.
But I think that if Call of Duty 5 is going to be set in the WWII era, it wouldn't be much of a hit as COD4. The Call of Duty series really wasn't much of anything and was just another average shooter to me before COD4. The Call of Duty series doesn't need to go back to the stone age in WWII times with those ancient guns. The Call of Duty series need to be going forward and having COD5 set in WWII would be going backwards.
What they should have done, was to have the game series progress through time. For instance, Call of Duty 3 could have been set in WWII, COD4 could have been set in the Vietnam War, COD 5 could have been set in Desert Storm, COD 6 could have been set in Modern Time or something like that.
If Treyarch can do multiplayer like Counter Strike:Source, on Call of Duty, then i won't be bothered. CoD4 was the closest to CS:S on a console ive ever come across, and it rocks!!
I just wish they'd set the single player portion of the game in Afghanistan, or Iraq and not another version of WW2. Like the old sayin goes, TOO MANY COOKS IN THE KITCHEN SPOILS THE BROTH
please no world war 2 business
no Infinity Ward = No good. Of course it's on the PS2 and Wii, they'll have to pull all the strings to sell enough games. Don't waste your time with this crap.
Infinity Ward would be stupid not to make COD5, COD4 did soo well thanks to them imagine what they could create after COD4.
IW doesn't have any say in it. It's all up to Activision. So I'm guessing that IW wants probly 5 times the money that treyarch would do it for and Activision would be smart to pay IW because they would make 10 times the game that treyarch would make. It''s all sounding like garbage to me. IW should just start their own series and use the same game engine and style of cod4 and come up with a brand new storyline. Vietnam would be pretty sweet but you'd have to use old guns. They should do some jungle warfare but make up a future war and use some of the weapons you see on futureweapons.
if this is world war 2 again then i am just skipping this, ww2 has been done to death, cod4 will be good enough for me till cod6. maybe an iraq or afganistahn would be good just NOT ww2!
If Infinity Ward doesn't help it will SUCK. Hopefully it wil be in the future.
i never really grasped the difference between COD 4 and any other shooter out there.IMO they are all the same,i really hated COD 4,the best online game ever is warhawk and am reaaaallllllly waiting for socom, although warhawk is the best am slightly getting bored with it. soooo comeee onnnn socom ,is haze good???
i pray to thor himself that COD5 will be WWII----IM DOWN TO SHOOT SOME KRAUTS!!!!!
WWII games are big time over done!
Hopefully Infinity Ward developes this game... I mean, Activision can obviously see people want Infinity Ward and DON't want WWII or WWI for that matter.
I agree with A_Ninja... that would be tight!!!!! Future wars or something like that. Or finish COD4.
Please!!!!!! Come on Activision. We trust you!
@Paranoimia
You Sir are 100% correct. Treyarch dld the press release a few months back saying they were working on COD5 and that it would be the first COD game set in the pacific rim theartre of WWII. They also said they'd toyed with the idea of other modern conflicts including Nam and Korea. In the end they went with wha they knew best, WWII.
they say CoD5 is WW2 (but who knows developers always lies) XD JK
They should do vietnam. After the brilliance of the "all ghillied up" level in COD4, doing vietnam would be brilliant, especially with the added guerilla warfare element.
And also, back to madrox's comment about leveling, they should make it like Halo (i think) were you can go down ranks if you perform badly.
well I couldn't tell you how any COD is besides COD4 because I will not play any WW2 game....regardless of how good it is. And if COD5 is WW2 (even if IW makes it), I will pass on that one aswell. The whole sci-fi *phew phew* crap isn't my thing either.
@ psycho_mantis - I too wish BLACK 2 could come out.... IW would do good if they got the rights to make that game....it will be COD4 sales all over again...if not more!
If Treyarch is doing COD 5 .... forget t man... infinity ward all the way. and... WW II ... AGAIN... u crazy, NOT BUYING it
