Call of Duty 5 to be set in "new military theatre"

NewsPosted 09/05/2008 - 10:39am GMT+1

The game is coming to Xbox 360, PS3, PC, DS, Wii and PS2.

During a conference call with investors following the publisher's fiscal year 2008 results, Activision CEO Mike Griffith has revealed that Call of Duty 5 will once again take the action into a new location.

"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," said Griffith.

Speaking of an expanded user base, Griffith also revealed that the fifth game will be coming to Xbox 360, PS3, PC and DS - the same as CoD4 - plus Wii and PlayStation 2.

Activision is yet to officially confirm the developer of Call of Duty 5, although rumours from late in 2007 pointed to Treyarch, developer of Call of Duty 3.

It's going to be set during WWII and take place in the Pacific theater as well as the Russian invasion of Berlin. It is being developed by Treyarch and it uses the same engine and CoD 4 did. There will be some new weapons-including a flamethrower-and new enemy strategies, i.e. they jump out of trees with Katanas and such.
