Call of Duty 5: Moderner Warfare

Take a look at this

yep, this fall Call of Duty 5 is upon us. I take this with a grain of salt considering I had the second one and COD4.

Activision surprised me when when they released the fourth game. It had a nice story and direction, it had new mission approaches that I can't remember ever seeing in a game. And (gasp!) it wasn't set in the time period of the Second World War, but it did pay some tribute in one mission. It had more maps that were nicer than some of the Halo maps and was a decent competitor against the Halo 3 hype although Halo 3 is still good (even though COD4 had many more maps period). But now with the release of a new one that will come just a year after the 4th, it's hard to imagine not playing COD4 anymore because of how much more impact it had. The word Moderner makes me wonder how far can they go as far as modern warfare, futuristic and more interesting weapons perhaps?

Is Moderner even a real word, the look of the title seems kind of an inside joke with the line through the number 4, it's literally telling me to pass on this game because it probably won't make much of a difference that COD4 made. Heck it was even announced just because GTA IV toppled its reign amongst gamers.

However, I did not look forward to COD4 until i saw the gameplay which was crisp, interesting and beautiful to look at. So hopefully Activision isn't proving to people it's just a money making company and that they will make the experience that much more sweeter. So they better show us some of the new atmospheric gameplay and not give away too many good parts. Otherwise it will be another Halo 3 story and provide no incentive for gamers to buy it, and continue playing COD4.
