So the word is that Infinity Ward is not working on Call of Duty 5, instead Treyarch will handle the console exclusive game. This seems pretty consistent with what happened to Call of Duty 3 but fans are groaning because Call of Duty 3 wasn’t, well, Infinity Ward material (which could be the problem itself).
The rumor mill is still churning and the latest word is that Call of Duty 5 will not only take place during World War II (ugh, again) but also take place during the Pacific War.
As of today, only one other AAA game tried that theme to rather mediocre results: Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault.
I’ll gladly admit, I have yet to finish Pacific Assault because of the game’s ludicrous checkpoint saving system and difficulty. But I found the game’s infamous AI spawning system to be not that bad.
