Agent X, my secret industry insider has informed me that "Call of Duty 5" is not going to be produced by Treyarch. Treyarch is producing "Call of Duty, World at War" and its the eighth game in the publisher's (Activision) popular Call of Duty franchise. Treyarch's new COD game will drop players behind enemy lines in a battle for the Pacific during World War II.
So why the message from Agent X? What is the big deal? What is going on? Since this information is highly classified, I had to find a way to decipher the secret in the message that Agent X had sent to me. What is Agent X trying to tell me? Officially Treyarch's "Call of Duty World at War" has not been dubbed Call of Duty 5, eigth game in the series.
Due to Agents X's comments, I dug a little further and came across this interesting article by Front file. com . Front File writes; "Awhile back, publisher Activision decided they wanted to have a new Call of Duty game out every year, which did not leave enough time for Infinity Ward to create the games they wanted to. So a compromise was made after CoD2: Infinity Ward would get two years to make another title, and the franchise would be handled by developer Treyarch in the interim. This explains why CoD3 may have seemed quite a bit different from CoD2. It hasn't been confirmed, but it seems that this deal may carry over into the next game as well. During that time though, Infinity Ward will also be doling out new downloadable content (maps, weapons, perks, etc. ) for CoD4. " (news. filefront. com/infinity-ward-not-making-call-of-duty-5)
Wow, this is really starting to make sense. The real question here is, "Are there two Call of Duty games in development"? Will Infinity Ward develop it's sequel to "Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare" and publish COD5 with a release date of December 2009 while Treyarch develops "Call of Duty, World at War", the eight game in the franchise and with a release date of December 2008?
I've deciphered Agent X's message. Call of Duty World at War is the 8th came in the Call of Duty series but it is not Call of Duty 5. Look at the following Call of Duty Release chart:
1. Call of Duty (publisher Gray Matter Interactive)
2. Call of Duty; Finest Hour (publisher Spark Unlimited)
3. Call of Duty 2 (publisher Infinity Ward)
4. Call of Duty Big Red One (publisher Treyarch)
5. Call of Duty 3 (publisher Treyarch)
6. Call of Duty; Roads to Victory (publisher Amaze Entertainment)
7. Call of Duty 4; Modern Warfare (publisher Infinity Ward)
8. Call of Duty World at War (publisher Treyarch)
Call of Duty's numbering is as confusing as the Star Wars series. In conclusion, Call of Duty 5 will not be produced Treyarch. Infinity Ward will most likely be developing COD5 with a release date of December 2009!
You heard it here first!
