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.

this is horrible news... well i guess its back to GRAW and rainbow six 4 me :(
wtf why would they do that?
not happy about this WW2 is over so should its games
I don't know why Infinityward are letting this other company give the Call of Duty franchise a bad name. COD3 was rubbish compared to the first two games and COD4 is a masterpeice. I wouldn't expect much from COD5
f**k!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not more WWII games please!!!!
noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COD 5 going be sucks, since its the same ppl who make COD 3
psn id: gingo... looks like i'll be looking forward to COD6 rather than this, i thought COD3 was good but not up to infinity wards standards and after playing and loving COD4 i would expect the same quality of game
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?
aww that sucks
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.
aren't they tired of WWII?
O my god. What a crap. COD 3 was an horrible port for ps3. and this guys from Treyarch are pigs.

well i guess cod4 will be the last cod i buy
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.
wow im dissapointed...
i hope they dont have aanother ww2..
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.
now cod is crap again >.>
COD as always been a WWII shooter. It's not COD if it isn't. They should have called another thing to COD4.
This are good news for me.
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 come back to ruin yet another Call of Duty game, and the good name its goting its self...
yay wwII rocks. although its not true. how stupid would switching timezones be
Seriously wtf, drop the WWII BS its not going to being doing anything innovative in terms of the usage of historic warfare especially one that has plagues the so many other games in the same era.
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 :)
f***
It would be awesome if they did WW1 (not 2..hasn't been done before) or Vietnam...or how about the civil war with like muskets and stuff !! LMAO
thats crap then, i wont be buying it.
anyone who dont care or want this game, we like the modern warfare and the way everything looks, its easyer to make game emulating today then 60 years ago so stop this b/s, graw for me then
this is going to suck
i want my modern super powerful wepeons with night vision damn it!! i like ww2 but after the brillence for cod 4 im not sure i can go back in time
yah >>>> horrible news .... and 99% of the people will not be pleased by this news :( ..... modern warfare was soooooo good
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.
BOOOOO..... Bad move. But what can you expect from the development team that brought us COD3???
i'm so sick of WWII first person shooters. there way too many of them, and they're all essentially the same
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.
This is stupid news I hate wwII games I wont be buying this game we need modern wars with new future weapons. not wwII stuff
Vietnam war? Who would be the bad guys? US or Nam?
OH GOD NO!! Treyarch Jesus no.. Infinity Ward please comeback to make a COD5
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.
How about COD5 :Desert Warfare, in Iraq or afghanistan?? Why WWII again??
thats gay
Because everyone and their mom is fiending for another WWII shooter. Im not buying it. Im sick of WWII games.
wth why would they do that? thats stupid. mordern warfare was great. WWII sucks. ive had enough of those games
good, they COD was born WWII and should die WWII stop complaining
hahahah...figured they would have learned their lesson....guess not... The new Socom should be out around that time anyway
I don't want another damn wwII one, make a Vietnam one.
For the love of God, leave WWII to rest !!! and I agree with GR3G0444, A Vietnam CoD would be good. I dont care if they made it looked better then Gears of War. We dont want WWII.
Suckiest news ever.....
Guess no one really needs another one of those WWII plots, same locations, weapons, etc.. Sorry but at least that's not gonna do it for me. :-(
eff it man call of duty 5: civil warfare. get ready to pack that ammo baby
vietnam war game on console, that's a good idea, especially if you get to play both sides. it's a shame for call of duty, personally cod4 is the only one i brought and i'll deffinatly wont be buying cod5, the only ww2 game i want to buy is the sequal to "resistance fom" for me this is the only ww2 game worth to buy on ps3, all the others suçk§ big time!
I personally don't think it'll be based on a WWII scenario. The ad may just be suggesting something about WWII but not necessarily build a game based on that war! Just some historical references, maybe?!? We'll have to wait and see...early next year! (for more info that is).
aw man cod5 is gonaa suck
COME ON stop with the world war 2 crap.....i guess im stickin wit RFOM an COD4
i can't even begin to expre$$ how freakin $tupid that i$ and/or how much of a bad move that i$.....i $ay all current cod4 owner$ boycott cod5 and wait unitl cod6 goe$ back to modern $tyle!
wtf no more choppers and airstrikes and hiding out in the wood wearing awesome camo with a great sniper no more c4 or claymores man looks like activision did the wrong move by giving this to treyarch and now there is no more fun assault rifles, COD 3 wasnt great and COD 4 was a general and cod 3 a private 1st class not even, and now we wont do fun things with c4 and claymores man leave WWII to brothers in arms and medal of honor, lots of games were WWII but they realized they wasted their time on WWII and moved on to the modern era with louder guns and more crazier things lets hope that they change their minds by now since it does say that this was posted on december 9
Why would you want a WWI shooter. You do realize that most of the war consisted of trench warfare, right? How fun would it be to sit in a trench and fire at enemies in the other trench for most of the game? That sounds real fun.
screw cod5 when im gonna be playing gta for 2 years straight, F that WWII **** !!!!!!!
COD is known for a new game coming out every year. If this game is going to be any good I think they have to get away from that and take their time because COD4 raised the standards.
it doesn't sound good, Cod4 was out there but this is a big bad step back. There's already hundreds of WII games in the shops and we don't need another one. CoD4 raised the bar to new heights, but I think as long as the next one goes higher, i'l probably still play it.
