 Digg.com Facebook Google Bookmarks N4G Gamerblips del.icio.us Reddit Slashdot.org StumbleUpon Personally, I'm sick of all the dissing that Treyarch receives. I loved CoD:WaW, especially the Soviet levels, so I can't wait for the next one. (CoD3 was pish though.) better question...how much dont we want the game to be released at all. COD is fast becoming a joke. I've got a turd in development. Funny how there's never any mention of this franchise being milked... *yawn* I much preferred Treyarch's visceral approach, which MW2 is copying, and I also enjoyed the single player campaign. But I'm not sure we need another CoD game so soon...one every year is overkill. Any news about COD 8? I'm going to hold off for the inevitable collectors edition box-set... People complain about Treyarch because the company ridesoff the success of the Call of Duty brand and the skill of Infinity Ward's engine and some of their ideas. Added to that, they'd revisited WWII again, when gamers are tired of this setting. WAW would have barely sold a copy had it been in direct competition with any other military shooter. So I think they've left themselves totally open to critism and all the comments I've read about them are founded and fair. They don't care, they have a contract for life it seems producing Call of Duty games.
As harsh as it sounds I actually wish Treyarch had gone under because of this economic climate rather than some of the other studios.
So whether they visit WWII again, or move the series to another location/battle, I don't care. Have it play out in space, in Vietnam, or in WWI, the fact is it's going to play out on other people's console's, not mine. I've brought two very disappointing games from this studio, and I think I've finally learnt my lesson. Surely I cannot be the only one would actually PREFER it to be set in World War II. if IW arent made to give them their engine, this will seperate the two.
shameless tramps hijacked their engine and tweaked absolutely **** all on it.
they also ripped the multiplayer side of things from them as well. talentless, the treyarch ribbing is completely warranted.
oh nazi zombies. ****in SHITE!!!
they couldnt innovate in the slightest with their installment so they add some irrelevant tack-on. :roll: ..whats so wrong with World at war...??...it looks good,plays good and online has been a massive hit.....the Call of Duty series is supposed to be set in the second world war.
...i like cod4 just as much but can't understand the constant dissing of world at war it looks good because of infinity ward. the online was developed by infinity ward too.
and no, CoD doesnt have to be set in WWII.
if that was the case were gonna run out of wars soon. Yeah, scrap the mutts, lets have some.................attack squirrels!!!

8) I agree, i loved the single player in WAW, and as for the multiplayer, it was the same as COD4 which is great if you enjoy the 100mph headless chicken run'n'gun style gameplay.
The WW2 setting is probably the best if done right, and i still think COD2 is the finest single player experience of them all.
It's just become fashionable to knock WW2 which is a shame. I fail to see why they'd publish this news now?
Maybe off the back of the COD4 release, but off the back of the MW2 trailer, why?
I know I wasn't the only one hoping it had become Infinity only.
No disrespect to Treyarch, I'd just rather they made their own series, I'd probably buy that too, I just hate the feeling of having amazing COD. Good COD. Amazing COD. Good COD. etc etc. Ha ha... what a dipsh1t! Oh god what has happened to this site, "I dont like treyarch, they just rip off Infinatyward!"
If i recall Iw asked treyarch to get involved. COD 3 was crap because of the time limits but WaW was a good addition to franchise. I dont mind anohter ww2 setting either.
You Iw fanboys go stand in fornt of a bus.
Oh well back to the Escapist with me. Theyre ****ing *****, thats why they get hated on. The only reason WaW turned out half-decent was because they had COD4 to completely rip the **** out of. When it comes to anything original like Quantum of Solace, they churn out complete shite. They need to take a step back and look at the crap that they obviously think is acceptable. Wanker. Call of Duty 7? Surely it's CoD6 if Modern Warfare 2 is dropping the CoD title altogether? I enjoyed WaW almost as much as Modern Warfare, the Russian campaign's final levels were stunning. Apparently my opinion is absolutely false and Treyarch is Satan if popular opinion is to be believed. nice, love waw World at War was tripe. Shameless rip off of CoD4, which they tried to dodge by setting it back in WW2. Wake up Treyarch. IW's tech, IW's graft, IW's ingenuity. Plus, everyone is sick of WW2. It's been done to death. Jeez, they couldn't even come up with an original setting. Shameless coattail riders.
Why now? Well if you remember a while back, the two studio's had a bit of a spat. The head of IW called the head of Treyarch a 'f**king douchebag' and basically dissed him and his contribution to the franchise. Fair call if you ask me, the guy was talking it up like he invented Call of Duty or something.
Anyway, what better way to p!ss on Infinity Ward's chips than to 'acidentally' announce the next Treyarch game just as the hype machine starts rolling for Modern Warfare 2? Exactly. Thats fantastic, great to hear. In my view, it would be stupid not to make another WAW if it is set in WW2, it sold great, third fastest selling game in the UK, millions sold across the world etc, beating Cod 4 in places. Modern Warfare 2 certainly has the chance to be best-selling this year, and i fell this also has a good chance whatever year it comes out. 7 Kill streak and BAM!! :shock:

What ya gonna do when they come for you? Modern Warfare 2 is likely to be competing with a new ArmA, Operation Flashpoint and Rainbow Six amongst others. Not that it'll particularly suffer as each of the games has their respective fans, and many of us are likely to buy most of these anyhow. World at War wasn't surrounded by half as much competition, and certainly gained a massive percentage of it's sales from Modern Warfare, and as others have mentioned Infinity Wards game engine and some features. Even so, Modern Warfare has remained a popular online game even though it's pretty old now. I very much doubt anyone will play WAW online in six months. And I'm convinced if WAW were to be released with so much competition it's sales would have been very low.
Obviously I'm not fan of Treyarch, but not because it's fashionable, but because I've been incredibly disappointed with their last two Call of Duty games, and like many, I'm utterly bored with WWII games. It's surely a sign of the times too that those old guns in WAW essentially felt like modern weapons because old guns just aren't as good as modern ones. Treyarch even dropped scope wobble to make the game feel more arcadey and accessible to all.
Personally I'd like to have seen another studio handle the next Call of Duty after Modern Warfare 2. Treyarch have had their chance. Thanks for nothing, now let's see what another developer can bring to the franchise. COD 6 isn't out yet...Chill out Treyarch or whatever. I personally thought CoD: W@W was ok with great online play. But activision are quickly becoming the new EA....churning out CoD sequels every year same goes for guitar hero. Surely they would be better off leaving things to Infinity ward to make a game every 2 years and letting treyarch do other stuff. Unfortunately the games make to much money for this to happen. Should do North African Theatre of War setting, re-enact El-Alamein...that'd be awesome.
And keep the Russian campaign but do Stalingrad
Although we still need a WW2 Battle of Britain game. A good one I mean. ffs y cant activision jus leave treyarch alone and leave the cod series to the proffesionals of Infinity Ward. 99% of ppl dont want ww1, ww2 or any other old fashiond stuff jus keep it modern or a bit in the future like advanced warfighter coz advaned warfighter wasnt a big hit so i fink if infinity ward woz 2 do sumthing like dat it would b an immense game, awww **** off treyarch leave cod to IW Talk about milking something for all it's worth...
Any news on CoD 34 yet? :roll: lol ... did half of you haters even play WAW? It was a perfectly fine game, yes not quite as good as COD4 but still very respectable. If WAW had been made exactly the same by IW you same people would most likely be lapping it up :roll: I remember the days when Call of Duty felt new and fresh...
Good times... good times... WAW had its faults, like enemies spamming super-accurate grenades, lack of a particularly engaging story, set in WW2 etc.... but it was still a reasonably entertaining game. If they sorted out a few problems and glitches with the levels, like me getting done by grenades through walls, and had an actually good story.....
Oh, and better Dogs than a Helicopter. Yeah, I said it. I hope CoD 7's single player isn't a pale imitation of MW2's like W@W was to 4.....Like the sniper mission, could have been as good as all ghillied up, but about a quarter of the way through it just gave itself away to old movie cliches that we've seen before.... What happened to Call of Duty 6? Oh yeah people still think World at War was 5. Got you, carry on. |
