Call of Duty 5: Back to WW II, First Screenshots, Co-Op Mode
Call of Duty 5: Back to WW II, First Screenshots, Co-Op Mode

This month's GamesTM UK just revealed the first proper info bits about the upcoming fifth installment of the Call of Duty series, which recently found the way back to the glory of its olden days by leaving the setting of World War II behind and, instead, giving us some modern warfare in Call of Duty 4. Apparently, this was just a quickie, because the franchise will return to World War II for Call of Duty 5: World At War - the final title that developer Treyarch (which was responsible only for Call of Duty 3 up to now; the developers of installments 1, 2 and 4 were Infinity Ward) will give its new game. To be more precise: you will battle in the pacific theater of the Second World War most of the time.
British Gaming Blog has the first screenshots online. And readers from GamesTM were also able to confirm that for the first time ever, there is going to be a co-op mode in the game. The systems on which it will be released cover a wide array of gaming platforms. The game is developed for PC, XBox360, and PS3, and a separate team is working on a Wii version. The latter version is planned to be compatible with the Wii Zapper. The tenseness of Call of Duty 4, which among other things made you experience an execution during a cut-scene where you were the person going to be executed, also doesn't seem be on vacation for the new title as another reader of the magazine reports:
Also, this is how gritty it is: "The opening scene of the first level we are shown is a Japanese commander stubbing a cigarette out in the eye of a prisoner before slitting his throat - the blood splatters and dribbles down the side of the tent you are being held in. He turns towards you to deal out the same treatment but help arrives just in time. Cue a daring level-long escape."
The engine of the game will be the same used for Call of Duty 4, even on the Wii.

Hi Knurrunkulus. Very good news! One small thing: Could you enlarge the screenshot to 600x width? Thanks! ---Jörg
I just did that and promoted the news to the front page. Hope that's alright.
Oh please, i cant stand WWII any longer.
But CoD4 Engine on WII sound interesting...
Damn, I think we gamers really need a third world war to happen ;D
I really liked CoD4 very much and was so happy that they had moved on :'(
We have enough wars already, I'd say...
I like CoD 4 as well, I am playing it atm.
C'mon, don't say you didn't get my zynism.
@Leonard McCoy
Theatre is just as fine as theater, it's just the be version.
I think whether you say range, array or spectrum, it's the same in meaning and grammar.
I don't see a comment from LeonardMcCoy, hmm maybe he unpublished his own comment .
I was referring to the revision.
As my comment was for him, he would know to what I'm referring ;)
Ok, me shuts up now.
I'm aware of the fact that "theatre" refers to British English. When I did the revision, which was a necessity due to too obvious spelling mistakes and an awkward use of quotation marks (it's not that I love to overhaul articles all day), there was this sentence that sponsored the word "range" that was in itself not quite clear. The final version, however, is much clearer: The systems on which it will be released cover a wide array of gaming platforms.
I hope my revision hasn't hurt you in any way but the way of things is that every news bit can be mercilessly edited (which I didn't do, and don't intend to) as soon as it was submitted. The spirit of your writings is still very much in the text, and only less major things, and even some less minor things (BE words into AE words, the range dilemma) were revised by me.
:D
Why should I've been hurt? It isn't even my article.
The final version (The systems on which it will be released cover a wide array of gaming platforms.) is pretty good.
Don't get offended so easily, I was merely discussing!
Thanks for working on my article, I am not offended by your revisions: But: I think most of them were not necessary.
My English is British English, and there "installment" is written with one "l", "theater" (especially when it is used in the context of the Second World War) is "theatre" in British English. I also don't know why you changed "found back to the glory of its olden days" and added "the way" (it wasn't gramatically wrong before, was it?). I liked the sentence about the execution scene in "Call of Duty 4" much more than the revisioned one, because the structure "made you experience an execution during a cut-scene, you being the person to be executed ..." just sounds and reads much better in my opinion than "made you experience an execution during a cut-scene where you were the person going to be executed". I thought about this revision a lot and I again think that my try was not gramatically wrong; it's just my way of writing. And: The awkward use of quotation marks; was it really that awkward? I mean: I read many news in the English language, and when those refer to series many websites do it like I did; putting the name of the franchise in quotation marks and then adding the -series.
However, there were very good revisions as well: The Second World War is written in capital letters, of course. The use of "systems" instead of "platforms" is also better; mine was really suboptimal, I admit.
So, once again: I am not offended. But I've got my own style of writing and if in future news there are some sentences which are grammatically correct (although you would have probably written them in a different way) I would like to encourage you not to change them. Same goes for British English; I've been learning it in school and I've been living and working there for eight months recently, so: It's the English I know. And I also think it's better than AE, by the way. ;)
So, I hope that you understand my argumentation, I hope that now you are not the ones offended.
Well, such incidents were preprogrammed on GG.
I think we should interpret revisions as modification proposal.
If the author doesn't like it, he can always change it back.
