While nothing has been confirmed yet, there's a chance that the next Call of Duty title will be heading back to World War II, because apparently gamers can't get enough of that war in particular.
As discovered by GAMER, the job listings on Treyarch's Web site reveal that the developer is looking for a level builder. What's interesting is one of the qualifications for the opening:
"Working experience with First-Person Shooter or Third-Person Shooter genres (console or PC). And if you’re a fan of World War 2 shooters, then even better!"
Unless Treyarch decides to alter the events of WWII by creating a game featuring bear cavalry and an undead legion of Nazi warriors, you can count me out. I've grown weary of historically accurate war games that bring nothing new to the table in terms of actual gameplay conventions.
I know many of you weren't happy with Treyarch's previous involvement in the Call of Duty franchise (CoD3 and Big Red One), so unless some revolutionary changes are made internally, it's safe to assume that the next Call of Duty game will be just another way for Activision to make easy money off of the series' success so far.

Man, I would LOVE a totally historically inacurate WWII FPS. Nazi's riding t-rexes, cowboys, Italian Zombies, Daft Punk singlehandedly ending the Nazi presence in France with the aid of timetravel and a talking dog...
That may be one of the greatest ideas for a videogame ever. It didn't get good until I imagined electronic music by Frenchmen ending the Nazi Presence in France, except the French are about as successful in wars as sega and game consoles.
Also, about the French being shit at war. They were a dominant force back in the 1000's, and the Mega Drive (No, it's not called Genesis) was one of the greatest consoles ever. A better analogy would have been Modern France is to war, The Wii is for Masculinity.
*Other news that people think is new but isn't*
Dan Akroyd admitted to reprising his role for an upcoming Ghostbusters game back in April of this year. That months Game Informer (the April 2007 with the Uncharted: Drakes fortune cover) reported it in the Good, Bad, and Ugly section.
That is all.
but seriously why dont they do vietnam, or world war 1 or any of the other wars that there havve been over the course of human existence because WWII isntead.
Unless there is something revolutionary like the bear cavalary I will be avoiding this
COD6: Mehdi Army
I called it!
-Activision Blizzard
The real reason behind all of the WWII is because it's the last war that America "won."
I'd really like to see them try again to make a war like the Civil War more game friendly.
Actually, I feel that COD4 shouldn't have been called COD4. It should have been the beginning of its own franchise. If their intent is to split the "modern day wars" into their own franchise, I don't have that big of a problem with this.
And with the ad saying "And if you’re a fan of World War 2 shooters, then even better!" then you can be 90% sure it will be set in WW2 again
2. If it is set in WWII, I hope everyone boycotts it
Heck, I just want more spaghetti western shooters like Call of Juarez.
Either way, I think CoD5 should be set in the future and somehow involve robot dinosaurs.
Treyarch did not make United Offensive. That one was actually pretty good.
It was Gray Matter Studios that produced UO.
