Call ofDuty 5

According to IGN and an announcement made by Activision (fraid I can't provide a source for this) the next game is released in 2008, and Call of Duty 6, developed by Infinity Ward, will be released in 2009, so to keep up Activision's one-game-a-year policy. Should this not be changed? I will search for the right page, but I'm sure you can find it on any game website.--Hammerandclaw (talk) 15:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

The next Call of Duty series should be based on 1 single large map. Where you can free roam around and choose your own path of what missions you want to do in any order. however you will not be able to do certain missions until you weaken the enemy from other areas on the map.VandleNI

This page is for discussion of the article, not for the topic. --Scottie_theNerd 08:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

We need a citation for the alleged Call of Duty 4. Anyone have a source on this? SniperWolf1564 11:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Verification of Call of Duty 4 should be made its own article rather than this list. --Scottie_theNerd 11:08, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Addendum: Though at the time of this message, the COD4 article has been deleted twice due to lack of sources. In any case, if there is no source, we should remove the COD4 entry in this list entirely. --Scottie_theNerd 11:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree. There is no way of telling if CoD4 actually exists, or if it is even in production...

Release date

Someone put that Call of Duty 5 will be released in 42345. What are they talking about? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.161.227 (talk) 21:01, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

From CoD 5 section

"Call of Duty series will be released in the second quarter of 2008."
2069!!! You sure you didn't mean 2006? Diego pmc (talk) 22:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thoughts Of What Is To Come?

There will always live a burning desire to defend your country and heritage, a time at which you will respond to the call of duty and fight in the greatest global conflict known as World War 2. Through such games as the Call of Duty Series the children of today’s time relive the fight of their fathers. Call of Duty 5 is coming back to the WWII era and for many gamers this will be a breathtaking game. Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty 2 game redefined WWII games in terms of beautiful graphics and game-play. Treyarch is not too far behind, what it fell short of in Call of Duty 3 it will make up for in 5. I have high hopes for this game and I am glad that the WWII series are not over.

Okay. Great? 69.121.179.87 (talk) 20:55, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Call of Duty 5 is Back to WWII!

I edited in a section about Call of Duty 5 being back to WWII based, instead of "Modern Warfare". It might need some expansion and clean up. Discuss here. AP Shinobi (talk) 18:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

68.252.228.160 deleted the rumor (several times) without justification, however, I have to admit that it violates Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. xenocidic (talk) 19:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Infinity Ward confirmed it was true, along with ZiffDavis publishing and IGN. I'll look for a link. AP Shinobi (talk) 21:23, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

It was confirmed it is set in WWII. And is it to be created by designers TreyArch, who made Call of Duty 3, rather than producers of the rest of the series, Infinity Ward. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.146.4.243 (talk) 13:55, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I found a ref here: http://www.psu.com/Call-of-Duty-5-WWII-bound--a0002121-p0.php I am gonna add in that it will be in WWII, delete it if you find any proof otherwise. AP Shinobi (talk) 21:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but that is the same old speculatory reference. xenocidic (talk) 19:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, let's just leave it out until the game is released. also, whoever keeps editing my discussion above please stop, I keep undoing it. (Someone keeps changing what I said above to "CoD5 set into the future". It is an unregistered user.) AP Shinobi (talk) 14:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Heh, turns out shinobi was right all along. IGN is reliable for that matter, you guys even put IGN with the game's reception on video game articles. Mallerd (talk) 15:27, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

CoD5 Have Its Own Page?

I think that CoD5 should gets it's own page like CoD4 has: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - AP Shinobi (talk) 22:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

No. It does not have enough information yet to merit an article. We are not a crystal ball.⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 02:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Well once it comes out? AP Shinobi (talk) 17:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Once it comes out , or once we have some concrete details, there will be a page. xenocidic (talk) 19:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Call of Duty 5 release date

The article currently suggests CoD5 is being released in Activision's fiscal 2009, or April 2009 to April 2010. However, the article previously stated April 2008 to April 2009, which sounds much more likely because Activision has indicated they want Call of Duty to be a yearly installment franchise-hence the whole controversy over the developer of 3 and 5. I'm pretty sure the game is supposed to be released before April 2009 like the article used to say, but the dates have been changed. Why would Activision reveal their 2009-2010 lineup at a December 2007 conference? ShadowUltra (talk) 14:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not cyrstal ball. We cannot get the exact dates so we put an estimate. AP Shinobi (talk) 14:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I know, I was confused as to why the dates keep changing back and forth. ShadowUltra (talk) 15:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

People keep vandalising the article with fake info. AP Shinobi (talk) 16:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

But wait, in this same announcement they said Guitar Hero IV is being released in the same fiscal year. That game is being released this fall, which is before the dates listed in this article. ShadowUltra (talk) 17:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

PlayStation 2 ?

the article says that Call of Duty 5 will be released on PlayStation 2! But shoulnt it be PlayStation 3 or something ? I mean PlayStation 2 is little too old for games like that , isnt it ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.196.227.2 (talk) 18:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

They have released it will be available on some sixth generation models as wlel, like the Playstation 2 and PC. AP Shinobi (talk) 14:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

CoD5: Not on PSP

According to the referenced sites, CoD5 is not on the PSP, only the PS3, Wii, 360, DS, PS2, and PC. Will edit now, disputes go here. 79.64.31.89 (talk) 08:02, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Historical inaccuracies in the series

There are actually a few glitches in historical accuracy.

The most noticeable was the British campain in CoD2, with Israel featuring on the briefing map instead of Palestine. The state of Israel was created in 1948 only.

Another example is the availability of a G36C in CoD4's Chernobyl/Pripyat story arc ("15 years ago"). The G36 rifle family was only produced from 1997 onward.

Next Installment(COD6?)

They still extract material from ww2(e.g.: COD World at War). COD4 was very good for a mostly fictional scenario(so good that it maybe turned into a film). Maybe next installment will be about after-events of an all-scale nuclear war around world. A typical trained soldier in this kindda stiuation might be good to play. What do you think ? --Fotte (talk) 14:06, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

CoD logo

A logo is needed.. --SkyWalker (talk) 07:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Done. -- Commdor {Talk} 18:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Good boy. :). Here is your cookie --SkyWalker (talk) 18:27, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Call of Duty: World at War is not Call of Duty 5

Hasn't Activision made it clear that World at War is not a numbered COD game, and COD5 will be made by Infinity Ward?

See here and here. World at War is the fifth game in the main series, and Infinity Ward is developing the sixth. Activision has ended the number scheme, so any Call of Duty games after CoD4, World at War included, will not have numbers in the title. -- Commdor {Talk} 05:20, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

If that's true, then why does this wiki article have Call of Duty: Vietnam listed as Call of Duty 5? Especially considering one of the sources actually specifically notes that it is Call of Duty 6? Phoenix00017 (talk) 01:34, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

That was simple IP vandalism, just reverted. -- Commdor {Talk} 01:43, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Characters of Call of Duty merge

The Characters in Call of Duty article is in rough shape. It lacks any substantial third-party sources, and thus fails WP:N. It was previously nominated for deletion and while there was no consensus to delete, there was no consensus to keep either. A compromise would probably be a merge. There's some decent information about the game's plot tucked in there, and would be appropriate to add to the overall coverage of the series at this article. The articles are probably stronger together than they are apart. Randomran (talk) 21:56, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't oppose a merge, so long as the summaries are cut down a bit. This article's only going to get bigger with each new game, especially if Activision continues to ship them out annually. -- Commdor {Talk} 22:08, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Making the summaries a little tighter would help. Another option is to merge the recurring characters in to the series article, but merge the one-off characters to the articles for the individual games. Just thinking out loud. Randomran (talk) 18:43, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I remember being on the fence in the discussion mainly because there were slight signs of notability. However, the amount of unsourced, nonnotable content in the article far outweighs the sourced, notable content (Capt. Price and the action figures). I think Randomran has the right idea. Split it up and merge into the related articles. That will strengthen the other articles and the overall topic more. I would also tighten up the summaries before merging. I remember that worked well with the Kingdom Hearts characters. My two cents. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 16:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC))

Well, if no one's strongly opposed to it, I'll start on the merge. I like Guyinblack25's idea to merge each game's characters to their respective articles, so that's probably how things will look when I'm done. -- Commdor {Talk} 22:48, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

And that should take care of it. I've only played CoD4 and World at War, so I was careful not to remove anything that could be important, but I've trimmed off most of the trivial stuff and everything looks like it turned out fine. -- Commdor {Talk} 00:36, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for taking this on! It looks great, IMO. If people want to adjust the amount of detail, that would be okay too. But really, a stand-alone article for all the characters in the entire series is kind of inappropriate, at least by the standards of WP:N. Randomran (talk) 21:17, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Sgt. John "Soap" MacTavish

Where in the game does it say that he is a sergeant and his first name is "John"? Note that in the start of Call of Duty 4, he was considered as an "F.N.G" which means "F***ing New Guy".--Dan2paul (talk) 13:10, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

If you play the game, then at the very beginning of the level entitled "F.N.G." (F.N.G. is not an official military rank) you will see a readout on the lower left-hand side of the screen which gives the location, time, and the character's name and rank. I removed that his first name was John since that wasn't there, but everything else is verified. -- Commdor {Talk} 17:51, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I know F.N.G is not a rank but I don't recall seeing a Sgt. anywhere.--Dan2paul (talk) 09:31, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

video, look at the first video. You'll see it. Mallerd (talk) 17:24, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Call Of Duty 6

This is going to be release somewhere around 2009 no other info has been realease —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.109.135.73 (talk) 18:20, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Just a general note, it looks like Activision Blizzard confirmed that Call of Duty 6 will in fact be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The article has been updated to reflect this, and the source can be found here. -- Commdor {Talk} 00:14, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

That's just a regular person's blog, I think it should be removed, I'm looking on the Infinity ward site and I'm not seeing anything related to it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.74.218 (talk) 02:16, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

It was also announced here, but the MTV source (which is isn't just a random person's blog) was found first; in any case they both say the same thing. Also, the websites of developers and publishers are usually very slow to update, and for there to be anything about Modern Warfare 2 on IW's site, they would have to reveal a bit more about the game. Obviously, either IW or Activision wants to keep the game under wraps a while longer, so for now the title is all we get. -- Commdor {Talk} 02:25, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
