First Call of Duty 5 trailer premieres News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Eurogamer staff

23 June, 2008

The very first trailer for Call of Duty 5 is now showing on Eurogamer TV.

The game is being developed by Treyarch and is subtitled World at War. It's said to offer a gritty, mature portrayal of events during the Second World War. Early teasers show a prisoner of war being tortured and having his throat cut, while your character looks on and waits his turn for the same treatment.

It'll be the first COD game to feature co-op action. Two players can team up on split-screen, while up to four can enjoy online co-op. Vehicles will play an important role and you can expect the return of squad-based multiplayer, plus the option to say real army phrases into your headset.

Treyarch has sensibly used the Call of Duty 4 engine as a foundation to build on. There will be more destructible environments where you can shoot holes in wood then climb through them and set fire to things.

Call of Duty: World at War is coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime before April next year.

I'm actually quite optimistic about Treyarch's chances of making another good game. Three wasn't as bad as lots of people said and it was made in only 8 months! The multi player was boss!

However, I miss massive battles. COD4 didn't have the same sense of being in a huge confrontations as 3 or 2 and it looks like this is gonna be the same. Next Gen D-Day anyone? And does any game let you play as the Germans, that would be interesting...

Don't think this will be as good as Call of Duty 4, but I must say this game is looking good!

Thank God no PS2 version, that would have dragged the Wii version into the gutter. Hopefully the online won't be too gimped.

online will definatly be gimped, it's on a Nintendo console.

DS one should be worth a laugh.

Why can nobody make a proper handheld FPS console!?!?

Looks wank.
I can already see thisll be a unexciting, onrails shooter like COD3.
Play as another rambo American gunning down Japanese or Germans. woot, as though I havent done that before.
What I want is to play as the Axis forces for bloody once. I want a Axis campaign.
It would be like a bloody breath of fresh air.

Treyarch simply are not in the same league as Infinity Ward, and thisll be a adequate shooter at best.
Give it a miss, and wait for COD6

We are still playing WW2 games because people keep buying WW2 games. If people stop buying WW2 games, developers will stop making WW2 games. Then, no more WW2 games.

Simple, no?

This one isn't going on pre-order. I'll wait and see...
