Call of Duty 5 WWII-bound

Treyarch, the development team responsible for the decent Call of Duty 3, has clearly already spearheaded development on its next project, Call of Duty 5. The recently released Call of Duty 4 brought modern warfare to the table, but apparently Treyarch has eschewed the idea of emulating the awe-inspiring title. Instead, they are vying once again to create a WWII shooter, if a job ad on their website is accurate.
They're searching for a level builder who has “working experience with First-Person Shooter or Third-Person Shooter genres,” adding that “if you’re a fan of World War II shooters, then even better!”
We're fairly positive that 99% of people will not be pleased by this news - primarily due to the awesomeness that emanated from every megabyte of COD4.
We'll let you know if the listing does indeed imply what it seems to.

Am I the only one who doesnt care? Seriously - if they do a good job at it then thats all that matters. The problem is CoD was great, CoD2 was great also - but CoD3 brang nothing new to the table. Has anyone even SEEN gameplay footage of Brothers in Arms: (H)ell's Highway? It looks amazing - and simply because they have brought all new gameplay elements to the genre. If the team does the same with CoD5 as they did with CoD4 (only WW2 based) then it's gonna rock.

@djrussell
Obviously if they do a great job then yes we shouldn't care it's just that 99% of us feel that Treyarch will not make an awesome game but an OK one. But haven't we had enough of WWII setting in the CoD franchise? I think it was Infinity Ward who created the awesome first CoD on the PC and then we had CoD 1 & 2 on consoles. All these are awesome. Then Activision handed development to Treyarch to make CoD3 and we see a good game but the weakest of the franchie. Then Infinity develop CoD4 and make the best of the franchise. If you had Infinity and Treyarch making CoD5 seperatly simultaneously you know Infinity's version will be alot better. I jusy can't understand how Activision got Infinity to put the franchise back on top only to hand development to a team that will knock it down again? UNless there is more to it, like Infinity didn't want to make a new one?

This is taking a giant leap backwards. First of all every COD project Treyarch has been responsible for was a disgrace to everything Infinity Ward has accomplished. Going back to WWII is even worse.

i could care less about this game. COD4 will keep me busy for a while, along with a ton of other games that are a lot more original rather than just another WWII FPS.

I'll be playing COD 4 until COD 6, unless they changed they idea of COD5 in to something not WWII cuz WWII is very much played out and dead, and it shouldnt be brought back to life.

Well, if they will create COD5 based again on WWII it should better then MEDAL OF HONOR. Because i the last 2 title of COD they were great. I personly, loved COD3 and i hope they will create within the game, new idea, more detalis and be very creative. Medal Of Honor is getting worse. I remember the old Medal Of Honor on the ps1 were better then last one, that is on the ps3.

I think it's good that they do WWII. But it would be even better if they focused on other wars now. Like the Vietnam war. That would be great as a Call of Duty title! Or the cooles: WW I. Noone has ever had the guts to approach the first world war. But that would be awesome.

Treyarch are you trying to revive the WWII era...?
I guess then I'll pass this one on, and wait for COD6 which is probably going to be made by Infinity Ward. These guys rock :)

It's horrble that its WWII, but that really doesn't bother that much. What really bothers me is that Treyarch are making this game. WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, there one of the worst game makers ever!!!! All of their game have sucked, expecially CoD3.

Saboteur is probably the next/last WWII game I will spend my time with...and I think with the huge success of COD4 this is just the dumbest thing I have ever heard-the WWII thing is getting way too stale, why not do something else like gulf war shlt or something - I dunno, I just think this is entirely a step back for the series, and not in a good way.

What...? Why in the world would they switch over to WWII? After the total sucsess thay had with the modern war theme I don't think there going to change it to WWII. It would be plane stupid if they did. But yet there are alot of stupid game dev. out there.
