Call of Duty 5 official name and additional details confirmed

With all the rumors surrounding the latest iteration in the Call of Duty series, it was only a matter of time before we were able to confirm some of them. The latest issue of GamesTM magazine revealed some of the finer details of Treyarch‘s upcoming wargame title, Call of Duty 5 (officially dubbed as Call of Duty: World at War). Find out more about the nitty gritty of the new CoD title in our full article.

It looks like the some of the rumors surrounding Treyarch‘s Call of Duty 5 actually have a ring of truth to it. Inside the latest issue of UK magazine GamesTM, videogaming247 was able to confirm some of the finer details of the upcoming wargame title (officially dubbed as Call of Duty: World at War).

For the first time in the Call of Duty series, it was confirmed that there will finally be a co-op campaign mode.  In addition, there will also be vehicles and squad-based elements included in the multiplayer aspect of the game.

Call of Duty 5 will return to its more historical roots as the game will be set in the Pacific theater of World War II. As for which platforms CoD5 will be released on, it was revealed that it will ship out on all the major consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii), along with its obligatory PC version.

The Wii version of the game will have a different team working on it, though. The most likely reason behind this is the fact that CoD5 for the Wii will make use of its own set of peripherals, such as the Wii Zapper. However, all the available platforms will have one thing in common – the rehashing of the Call of Duty 4 engine.

To give you an idea of how “gritty” CoD5 will be presented, here’s a quote from taken from videogamer247’s source about it:

The opening scene of the first level we are shown is a Japanese commander stubbing a cigarette out in the eye of a prisoner before slitting his throat – the blood splatters and dribbles down the side of the tent you are being held in. He turns towards you to deal out the same treatment but help arrives just in time. Cue a daring level-long escape.

More information on Call of Duty: World at War will be revealed later this month, so make sure to come back to this space for more updates regarding the latest iteration in the Call of Duty series.
