Call of Duty 5 headlines Activision's 2008 release list

In addition to announcing record profits on Thursday, Activision unveiled its 2008 release schedule, led by several familiar franchises.

As reported by Gaming Target, Call of Duty 5 (while completely expected) was confirmed for PS3, Xbox 360, DS, PC, PS2, and Wii. Unlike last year's game, the next installment will return to its World War II roots and is being developed by Treyarch as opposed to Infinity Ward. Treyarch previously handled development responsibilities for Call of Duty 2 and 3, with Infinity Ward manning the helm of Call of Duty 4.

With regards to its other game staples, Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith said the Tony Hawk series will be getting a major overhaul, this after EA's Skate outsold Tony Hawk's Proving Ground 2 to 1 last year.

Additionally, two Guitar Gero spin-offs are expected this summer, with Guitar Hero 4 shipping in the fall. The full list of tentatively planned titles are as follows:

April - June 2008
  • Kung Fu Panda (six platforms)
  • 2 Guitar Hero Spinoffs
Fall 2008
  • Call of Duty 5 (PS3, Xbox 360, DS, PC, PS2, Wii)
  • Guitar Hero 4
  • Next Tony Hawk
  • Quantum of Solace (Bond 22)
  • Madagascar: The Crate Escape
  • Kung Fu Panda Followup
  • Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
  • Next Spider-Man
Early 2009
  • Monsters Versus Aliens (Dreamworks Animation)

Making Call Of Duty 5 in WW2 is not a good idea because they did COD 4 which is in modern which every one will say that this game is the coolest and every one liked. if they want to make ww2 again then why they did COD 4 they shod make it in ww2 mode why make good game when you can still make sucks games like ww2 it's not that i don't like it but lot of people and me want to have new COD 5 in modern or be like that you start COD4 in modern then finished in modern make people happy that is you target or make ww2 but some how be like modern........ repeat of ww2 is not a good that's sucks.

There's a couple problems i would like to point out:

A) On Co-op mode the screens are split all weird. they shifted the left side up a little bit and the right side down a little. the rest of the screen is like a backdrop or frame. pretty lame and just threw me off.

B) Once again, you cannot play online with multiple people on the same Xbox. Even if each person has their own Xbox live account this is an impossibility. hmmm you could do that in COD 3. Why the downgrade? Halo definitely got it right when they allow you to have guests and play with up to four people online on one Xbox. This was one of the main reasons why I was excited for this game to come out, only to be disappointed. Now I have to wait for "COD 6: Cavemen and Catapults" to come out with this feature, but something tells me I'm going to be disappointed for a third time...

Everything else is great though.
