I’m sure I read on Koatku, COD5 is coming via Treyarch and it’s WW2 Pacific theatre. Make of that what you will.
I just hope it’s better than Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, which in this esteemed gentleman’s opinion was double wank and shit chips.

Guitar Hero works wonders on the ladies, actually.

And by wonders, I mean it sucks them in so hard that you’re right out of the picture. Oh well.

CoD5: Civil War.

And I mean the English Civil War, obviously. Roundheads v Cavaliers: Showdown.

Right, screw my idea, they’d better do this instead

Should they really go back to WW2 now, maybe they’ll make the long-debated German campaign.

Hmm, CoD4 moves to modern setting, sells bucketloads (not that it was ever a bad seller).. they decide to switch back to WW2.

Does that not make very little sense?

Hurm, little wonder Activision are raking in the dosh, considering CoD4′s massive console success. The game is great fun to be frank, and there are so many possiblities for No. 5. The Jacobite War. That’s where it’s at.

I still prefer playing a real instrument to paying £60 to play a fake one with 6 buttons (and a rubbish wammy bar.) IRL instruments also give an edge at parties/ with girls, yeah, let’s see your “Guitar Hero IV” do that. Eh!

A UN peace mission gone wrong has lots of potential.

Or: fighting in the Himalayas could be cool. War for Tibetan independence? Something like that? I dunno. It’s a big world, and there are interesting places to fight other than Europe and the Middle East.

I hope it’s a good game (CoD5) but if it’s set in WW2 again, I’ll probably wait for it to be bargain binned. Vietnam might be interesting, though I’d prefer if IW was at the helm for that, since Vietnam games have a history of sucking. I want a proven developer for that. But the question I have is, why would it have to be a historical setting? CoD4 wasn’t. Sure it was based on the current war, but it was 99% fiction. Why are we assuming CoD5 will go back to the historical model? I vote they take it to one of the more war-torn parts of Africa. Have you fighting as either a soldier/UN peacekeeper (since they seem to like the alternating storylines thing) against bad-guy rebels, or as a rebel/black-ops foreigner against an evil dictator. But set it in one of the more jungle-y regions, cause desert combat is almost as played out as WW2.
