Infinity Ward-Helmed Call of Duty 6 on Track for 2009 Release

There are more Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players than there are readers for most major websites, so obviously -- through use of top-level mathematics -- this announcement has 23 out of every 11 of you in a glee-induced coma. No, wait.

Anyway, at today's Activision Blizzard Analyst Day event, Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith officially handed off the COD baton to its original owner. The move is in line with Activision's "leapfrog" strategy for the franchise, which sees Treyarch and Infinity Ward alternate COD releases each year.

Beyond that, however, few details were announced. In all likelihood, the game will probably hurdle itself forward in time from COD: World at War's WWII setting, back to the present, but that's merely speculation.

But what do you want out of COD 6? Another trip into modern-day Unspecifiedistan? An MMO? Something entirely new?

avatarAllow more players to connect.

The issue I've seen with the COD4 is that only one person can connect to xbox live per console. Unlike HL3, where you can play up to four players per xbox, it limits families who only have one system, but multiple xbox live accounts. I also found an issue with being able to connect four players per xbox while in system link mode, ruining our chances of LAN parties at friends houses. I love COD, but I'm forced to play HL3 due to this ability. And believe me, I'm a little worn out on playing HL3.

a few come to mind off the top of my head.

I want Helicopters that can get shot down by one full clip of ammo of at least three consecutive players. I hate blowin my whole load of clips to no avail. How about points for shooting and/or helping to take down chopper.

DX10.

avatarGJ with 4! Keep it up

Submitted by Strongbad536 on Mon, 2008-09-15 18:07

I think they did a great job with 4 and im having trouble coming up with things that they could do better.  Longer campaign maybe?  and we'll see how the CO-OP works in COD: WAW.  I'd just say keep up the great work, and I don't mind if its a port as long as its a good quality port.

Submitted by msnight04 on Mon, 2008-09-15 19:24

CoD5 is actually named CoD: World at War and will be released later this year. It takes place again in WWII, however, this time around it is the Pacific campaign and we are fighting the Japanese. It will be using the same graphics engine as CoD4 and will alllow co-op play through the entire campaign.

Oh freaking wicked... Thanks for the info.. I can't wait. COD has always done things right. Medal of Honor tried that too but stunk at it.

I would like to see a Company of Heroes game set in the Pacific theater. That would be awsome. So few FPS and RTS games are set in the Pacific I mean really good games though. There were games but not all that fun or great.
