Call of Duty 5 (PC)
See http://www.gotfrag.com/cod/story/43331/
Who's interested? I know I am.
I was HOOKED on CoD1 and CoD2 like crack. Literally. CoD3 didn't do much for me. I'm playing through CoD4 right now on my new PC and so far its been ok.
I'm a huge fan of WWII games, especially FPS and Action ones. Call of Duty 5 looks like all the secksy graphics of CoD4 but with the (hopefully) great WWII story line and plot.
I'm anxious about the multiplayer as well. I've been playing a little CoD4 multiplayer on the PC and so far it has been alright. I think with a new spin on things it might be really fun.
Whatcha think?
cheers

Not a fan of WWII, personally. I'll be staying away.
... and it still managed to be fun. SP was fantastic, and just short enough you could play the whole thing in a day if you wanted.
Call of Duty 1 & 2 had it down, then they changed the way it works in 3/4 - not a fan. Single player is still fun though.
I've tired a bit of the WWII genre, primarily because it's the same front with nearly every single game. The formula is usually along the lines of 101st/82ndAB + references to BoB + dash of Normandy = winning title.
For what it's worth, if you can find the right servers to play on online the games are entirely worth it. I tend to lean more towards servers tagged with "realism" for their absolute hatred of spawncamping, bunnyhopping, rambo, etc.
I've been playing the beta for a few hours and it's terrible. It's basically a shitty expansion pack to COD3. They added artillery fire and dogs that run around and bite people. The 3 new levels that are included all suck. The one level that takes place in Japan is the only one that's mildly entertaining.
There have been 3 other WWII call of duty's and the end is always the same....Nothing new happens, so why bother making a 4th?
(By the 4th one I mean the 4th WWII COD, and nothing changed. Allies win every time)
And this one is based off of COD4, not COD3.
I'll probably pick it up just for the single player. I'm not expecting anything great from MP since it is going to be a lot like COD4.
I believe he was saying this is the 4th COD to be set in WWII.
I will never understand why they had to go "back in time" and make ANOTHER WWII game. I can't even count how many WWII games there are, let alone the 3 other COD's. The weapons suck, the maps are garbage, and Hitler still sucks. If I wanted to play another WWII game I'd play the 3 other Call of Duty's which I already have, or I don't know, one of the other hundreds of WWII games for every system ever made.
And some how I don't think the single player is going to suck as much as you say. The CoD4 SP was entertaining (besides the stupid health system).
2/3 of games out have shitty mulitplayer modes.
I understand what you mean but thats kinda like saying 100 games out there just have "new maps" and "new skins" because they all run off the Q3 engine.
I mean obviously the game is going to have new objectives, story line, etc.
That is what will determine if I buy the game. A good multiplayer is just a nice bonus
Second the dog part. They're definitely more annoying than the helicopters were in 4, although you get points for killing them.
There aren't new skins other than like 2 characters and the dogs which they probably got from Infinity Ward. The models and guns are EXACTLY the same as COD3 minus the voice dialogue. They must have acquired the models from Infinity Ward and just ported them into the game.
It's not a bad game, the only reason why I said it's terrible earlier is because it's basically a COD3 mod.....without much being modded. I'm pissed off at them for making another WWII game because after playing COD4, no WWII game can compete with that. The new weapons were so much more fun than a damn bolt action rifle. OMG a semi-auto rifle? WTF is that!
Has anyone played Roundhouse, the multiplayer map that takes place in Japan? At least that's what I think it's called, but anyway how annoying are the voices on that map? I had to turn off the dialogue because it was so damn annoying.
FWIW, I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum than you when it comes to weapons in videogames, so we do exist.
Without getting too much into it, I feel that aiming down an iron sight and hitting your target with the one bullet you've got with the bolt-action is very satisfying. More so than putting an MP5 with an optical sight in full auto up to my shoulder and letting loose on a guy moving perpendicular to me.
I agree, which is why I play more CoD2 than 4. The guns in 4 were just silly. Only had 5 for an hour but so far I like it.
I'm trying to play multiplayer but it can't connect to online services to get my profile info! Thought I'd try single player, same problem. So it has to connect so I can play single player as well? Stupid but as long as it's broke I can't play either. I now have a £35 ornament while I wait for them to fix it. No mention of that on the box.:banghead::banghead::banghead:
Just get Left 4 Dead it is a same game.
