Confirmed: Call Of Duty in WW2 with what seems to be an alien force

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/09/call-of-duty-world-at-war-revealed-treyarch-to-develop/

According to the article, Treyarch aims to "explore the darkest corners of WWII," giving the military shooter more of a survival horror flavor by "tackling darker themes" and pitting players against a "new, seemingly alien fighting force." Activision has yet to officially announce Call of Duty: World at War, though it seems clear that we'll be trading in our guided anti-tank missiles for submachine guns sooner than we'd like.

Please, is this some sort of joke?

So it's a Resistance clone?CJL13

That could actually be interesting. But again, the only good game I can think of that took place in the PTO was Pacific Heroes...and that was an arcade flight game.

I don't think it means alien as in extraterrestrial but alien as in strange and unfamiliar. The Pacific is an area of WWII that few WWII games focus on, so this, to many gamers, will be a new experience. Quite frankly, considering how overdone WWII is in games today and how Nazis are even more common enemies in first person shooters than arguably any other, I'm glad to see it. It may be a fresh take on the genre.

I wish Activision would let IW keep the franchise to themselves.Teufelhuhn

Odd. I think Treyarch does a good job with the COD series

Agreed. And I personally LOVED Big Red One. In fact, I thought it was better than CoD2. Sure, Treyarch may not be as good as a dev as IW...but they aren't nearly as bad as people make them out to be in the forums.

Yeah. Also I feel the online multiplayer in COD3 was better than COD4's multiplayer

You know, for a good idea of what they mean by 'a seemingly alien force', watch Flags of Our Fathers. During the invasion of Iwo Jima, the Japanese used the extensive netword of underground tunnels to wage war against the American invaders. They had the ability to appear even thousands of yards behind the frontline, deep into American-held territory. And they used this ability. Some Americans record that they woke up one morning with a dagger stuck in the ground beside their head, with a message written in eather poor English or Japanese (sometimes both). There are also accounts of soldiers seeing fellow men in neighboring foxholes suddenly get 'swallowed up', and when they ran over to investigate, not a trace of them could be found. While it is now known that those soldiers had probably had the incredible misfortune of digging a foxhole smack dap on one of the many tunnel entrances the Japanese had scattered throughout the island, you can imagine what kind of effect these sort of things would have had on the American troops. The enemy, which mostly remained unseen, would have appeared to be surreal...almost not of this world. Verge_6

No way! That is damn scary!

That would be really nice if they manage to put that in the game and keep up that atmosphere, imagine walking with your squad, you are leader but when you look around you realise all of a sudden you are alone.

Sounds almost too ambitious to hope for.

Oh yes. Me and Waz were on opposite sides, actually. He was an M-60 gunner, and I was an advisor for the Vietcong troops. First fought each other at Do Long bridge. He still bears the wound on his left leg.

Your still in that wheelchair right? Mah bad, didn't mean to hit you there. Meant to hit you up further where it would have killed you...

No, I was back on my feet within the week. And it was a testament to your inability to hit ANYTHING, even when you had an LMG in your hands. I, and my Vietcong commrades, laughed at your horrendous display of marksmanship.

Why do you think they gave me an LMG? At least I stand a chance when im putting 10,000 rounds down range...

If they gave me a rifle I would be cannon-fodder.
