 Wait for CoD6 December 30, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Was really looking forward to going back to WWII after CoD4 but this game is such a let down.All it seems to me is that Treyarch have copied the CoD4 engine..changed the backdrop and weapons to WWII and that's it...what else were they doing during the '2 years development work'..??
There were lots of errors, problems with weapon power and map glitches reported when the beta was launched but it seems no effort was made in correcting them for the proper game.
They seem to have put no work into making the perk system more original..coming up with more WWII oriented perks..instead just copied the CoD4 ones and as for putting cross hair sights and silencers on Thompsons and MP40 is daft...it's supposed to be WWII...????
As people have said before the way you are herded through the single player with little room for flanking, the way the rest of your `squad' run past the enemy makes SP a frustrating experience.....The fact my friends and I have spent more time playing the co-op missions than anything else sums it all up.
Hopefully IW will save the day again with CoD6

As has been said before, COD5 looks and feels like COD4 with the main protagonists having dressed up in 1940's garb and decided to do a bit of re-enacting on the weekend. The first time I played it, I was struck by just how similar the action felt to the previous outing of the franchise. And I don't mean that as a compliment. I feel massively short changed. We're being asked to fork out nearly fifty quid for this game and it feels like it's creators couldn't be bothered designing a new layout, prefering instead to overlay the general scenery from COD4 with a few palm trees and some bamboo grass.
Also, I wasn't too impressed with being invited to round up unarmed German prisoners and shoot them. Don't get me wrong, I have no moral qualms about dispatching hordes of evil little Japanese buggers with a flame-thrower (so long as they're armed and attacking me), but shooting unarmed prisoners just seems a bit off to me.
Overall, not too impressed.
 Good job December 29, 2008
I just completed story mode and have played the online for around four hours and have been generally pleased with the game.
For those that have not played Call of Duty 4: This game is graphically superb, and the audio is top notch, the guns have a rich pounding noise.
The story, allbeit short, is a decent chop and change of two stories in WW2 which offers decent replay value.
The game mechanics however are the same as CoD4:MW and the whole style does feel copied, this did anger me to start with but it is a very difficult formula to improve on. Some good improvements are listed:
Flamethrower
Co-op mode up to 4 players
nazi zombie unlockable game (very addictive)
 Wow! December 27, 2008
My first thoughts after I heard that the next Call of Duty game after number 4 was going back to the second world war were thoughts of dread. After the flop that was Call of Duty 3 peoples opinion of Treyarch was quite abysmal. It was a game set in Normandy in the second world war just after D-day. It had bad graphics, terrible voice actors and annoying characters. Infinity Ward rejuvenated the series bringing it into the modern era. It allowed them to completely change everything about the Call of Duty games, it had new weapons, a fresh graphics engine, an exciting story with the British SAS at the center and the most compelling multiplayer up till this point. So Treyarch taking it back the developing rights seemed bad enough, but the second world war? Again? Believe me when I say that this is in my mind no doubt the best ever multiplayer shooter. It is almost an exact copy of CoD4 but it is so fine tuned it is unbelievable. The story is good as is the coop but the multiplayer makes it. If you are without xbox live I'd skip it. If you have xbox live buy it now, if you put the hours in online you won't regret it.
Call of Duty - Newcomer review December 26, 2008

I have only played COD 1 on the PC back in the day so this game was pretty much new to me.
The graphics and story are awesome. Online play is also good, lag free... the only thing that bugs me with this game is that grenades come out of nowhere and so you can die so many times which can be frustrating.
