It was re-confirmed earlier today that, yes, Treyarch and Infinity Ward would continue to trade off on developing games for the Call of Duty franchise. And unfortunately, yes, that does mean the next Call of Duty game will be taking us back to *groan* World War II. On the plus side though, at least Treyarch is looking to shake up the game a little bit with its setting. Rumor is now suggesting that Call of Duty 5 will actually take place in Japan. It is also suspected that the game will put players in the shoes of Japanese soldiers, rather than their Western counterparts. Details are of course sketchy about what sort of battles will be recreated, but I’d bet you’ll be taking a trip to Iwo Jima at some point. And I’d bet the game will somehow still be a lesser version of Call of Duty 2.

Im still disappointed that they would go back to WWII.

This will be interesting.

And they should have just made a sequel to CoD4.

That would be pretty cool to play in a Japanese setting throughout the whole game. Who knows though...rumors are rumors.

meh, I don't like it for 2 reasons

1) Does anyone honestly wanna play ANOTHER WWII game?

2) Playing as a Japanese soldier is just a stupid idea IMO

CoD deserves to make WW2 games and everyone else needs to stop, they are basically the best and old ones. I'm glad to see it go back to how it should be.

Call of Duty 4 was amazing, because it wasn't WW2 like all the others. I wish it was a false rumor, though I love exotic locations.

yes... they switch every game. ugg hopefully they dont mess up cod5 like they did with cod3.. 3 was horrible. and 4 is amazing! basically the best game i have ever played so far. A setting in Japan should be pretty cool though... I do want to visit Japan someday

I personally like modern better then wwII but cod2 was pretty cool though. oh well..
