COD 5: For The Pyromaniac In All of Us

With new features including the ability to burn down buildings and set grass on fire, World at War is set to be the darkest Call of Duty game yet. The game will also feature new weapons, such as the flamethrower, and new multiplayer perks that will go well with the World War II setting.

Personally, my interest has really gone up over the last few days. Does sound good.

(PC to? Get someone to patch the CoD4 guns into this o_O)

kosha5816d ago

Yeah we know everyone wanted it to be modern warfare but this doesnt sound all that bad. Some of the new features sound cool and im glad theyve kept perks.

tgh machines5816d ago

I remember they promised a destructible environment in COD3 and like 10% of the stuff in single player was destructible and 0% of the stuff in multi player was destructible, not even crates or anything like that!

JsonHenry5815d ago

Sounds to me like this is going to be just like CoD4 only set in WWII. Which sounds totally awesome!

Nevers5816d ago (Edited 5816d ago )

...I'll reserve judgement (especially negative) until it gets released. I have never had the pleasure of playing CoD2 ...yet (at the used price $9.99, that's almost a crime) but I played the campaign (only) from CoD3 and wasn't disappointed at all.

LevDog5816d ago

I dont know about going back to WWII.. They basically over used it last gen.. I mean a couple games here and there, thats fine I can see that.. But following the biggest game on both consoles with this... I dont know.. Modern Warfare is super popular right now.. People love playing with guns of the NOW.. Not that many people are interested in WWII type guns and games..

They should just make it modern warfare, add new gameplay perks, upgrade the graphics, maybe add some future weapons in there and go from there... Stick with what works..

I mean dont get me wrong COD4 isnt perfect... Getting knifed from 10 feet away or when they arnt even looking at you is ridiculous... Or the sniping guys that never have their cross hairs on you but yet you die.. Or the perk maytrodom, which is just the stupidest thing Ive ever heard of...

Fix all that and up the kill streaks for airstrikes and helicopters and you have another great game on your hands..

I dont agree taking a step back and going WWII

Nevers5816d ago

of shooting someone who appears to be in my cross-hairs only to die by their hand cuz of lag. I only know it's lag cuz I watch myself in their "kill-cam" look at me shooting a wall 2-3 "feet" behind them. It's a fix I've been wanting for a long time but I don't even know if it's fixable. My kill spread can either be 20+kills/5deaths or 4kills/15deaths depending on my connection bars and the bars of my team-mates.

... I hear yah on the sniping thing too. I admitedly suck at sniping but should be getting more kills than I currently am. Shots that kill me with one bullet don't do the same when I'm behind the trigger.

LevDog5816d ago (Edited 5816d ago )

Yes thats the worse.. I get one hit sniped, but when I do it It takes 2 shots.. even with 50 cal and stopping power.. I agree with the lag factor.. I have a 2.08 kill/Death and Ranked pretty high in kills.. but If the lag is there.. doesnt matter how good I am, A full clip wont bring anyone down.. One of the funniest but frustrating things is.. "Leg Shooters".. People who shoot from the Hip and below and some how kill me before I kill them.. even tho I shoot chest and above.. Getting shot in the Feet and dying is the worst.. It sounds as though Im complaining and People will ask Why play the game? but I love the game and it just has some lil frustrationf flaws like most games..

My #1 thing they should fix, or in this case take out.. Is the matrodom perk.. I mean this game is about modern warefare.. there is nothing modern or realistic about dropping a live bomb after your dead.. YOUR DEAD you cant drop live bombs hahaha.. or the fact that Matrodom has some vortex and bigger blast radius than a normal grenade.. Ill run throw a door way to get away or around a corner and some how it sucks me in and and kills me as if I was right next to the body..

Nevers5815d ago

and I think the larger damage spread might come from that more explosive perk. I know the noob-toobers use that combo to obliterate me. I've gotten into the habit of trying to keep range between me and the dieing but some of the maps don't make that possible... and I totally hear ya on the thru walls stuff. Swear to god that Helicopter sometimes has xray vision...

crimsonfox5816d ago

that was most appealing to me in the scans.

MK_Red5816d ago

What's with sudden burning / fire love?

First FarCry 2 showed full burning / fire features and now this. Mercs 2 is also aiming for something like this I think.

LJWooly5815d ago

Playing on gamers' tendency to take pleasure in setting things alight, I suppose...

Hey, I'm not complaining :D

MK_Red5815d ago

I'm not really complaining either :)

Loved burning people in Postal 2 (Hopefully they use these pyromanist features in Postal 3)

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken17d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6918d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker18d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6918d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt17d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken17d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Well, he definitely got his money’s worth.

Abnor_Mal312d ago

Same as Shirley Curry playing Skyrim for years. In the next Elders Scrolls game they should have her in the game as some form of npc.

andy85312d ago

She is, I read she will be a character. Not a dig in any form but I hope she's alive when it releases

Relientk77312d ago

That's over 7,000 hours geez. What crazy stats

nitus10312d ago

Actually it is very easy to up the number of hours you have been playing a game. Basically all you need to do (assuming you have a PS4 or 5) is to place the console into stand-by without exiting the game, so if you do this a one hour gameplay actually becomes a 24 gameplay or longer.

boing1312d ago

What? So the game is still runinng when you put it to sleep? What?

EvertonFC312d ago

It's actually sad not an achievement but hey we need the full story details.

Knushwood Butt312d ago

There's someone on my friend list that has more than 6200 hours on Uncharted 4.

vTuro24311d ago

7k hours over 15 years isn't that crazy. The fact that he's been playing the same game for 15 years is more impressive.

And then you got people that want to finish a game every week.

Rhythmattic312d ago

Nailed what is the Spectrum... For good and bad, Quality or Quantity..Or the unreasonable to reason for. ;)

jznrpg312d ago

Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.

EvertonFC312d ago

500 days in 6 years is nothing lol, you do realise how many days in a year right ?

poppatron312d ago

I might be getting the maths wrong here, I think 500 days in 6 years works out at an average of just over 6 hours every single day. For 6 years. That’s pretty serious

EvertonFC312d ago

Edit: wrote this early this morning, I understand it's lots of hours now lol at myself 😂🤣😜

RedDevils312d ago

The only way to achieve this, is by having no life outside of video game lol.

Outlawzz312d ago

Strange choice of game but hey that's some devotion. Congrats to them!
