call of duty 4 vs call of duty 5

to be perfectly honest i havent played the 5th one for one reason....its back to the ww2 setting, is anyone else dissapointed that they went back to ww2 (which in my opinion has been done to death) and was hoping that COD5 would have had the same theme as modern warfare? or was anyone else glad they strayed away from there modern setting and back into what the franchise was known for?

lol all these people saying how good WaW is i might end up getting it at some point! still going to get resistance2 this friday when it comes out this friday though :-D

COD4 is still going strong online though! LOADS of people still playing it!

I love 5, not to say I hated 4 cause it was a favorite of mine last year, but 5 rocks. Its basically 4 with a few added features and a little more organization. There are now 65 levels to get to prestige instead of 55, the WW2 setting shouldn't bother anyone, the maps are fantastic just like in 4, the weapons are back to the old days but me personally I love the older weapons more. They are all very well tuned and sighted in, very well rounded, some people say they dont like the sounds of the new weapons but they dont bother me. There are some new perks that are cool that weren't in 4 and vehicles in a few maps (tanks nothing else), 10 create a classes unlocked after 1st prestige. The dogs is a cool new addition cause they can tear people up, or they can just get dominated. All in all if you loved 4 there is no reason you cant enjoy 5, maybe not like it more but me personally, I love it more than 4. Go rent it if your unsure, but if you put alot of time into 4, you'd have no problem doing it in 5, its got the same fast paced action, and intense gameplay, and zombie mode is fun from what I hear, i'm not a big solo player.

World War 2 has been done death just like you said, one reason I won't be purchasing the game...im gonna rent it though, COD4 was my 1st COD game because they did something new, look like it'll be the last for me, since KillZone 2 will be taking over soon...

From my experience with both games, COD4 > COD 5 in every way.

I don't know about online as i haven't played 5 online, but as far as SP experience - i'm talking story, graphics, animations, music, weapons, atmosphere, memorable moments, COD4 is in a entirely different league. COD5 indeed tries to follow the same formula, it actually tries to be a carbon copy in a different setting, but as it turns out it fails in reproducing that "something" COD4 has, because COD4 is more than just slick framerate, impressive scripted sequences and smooth online, it has a certain flavour, a certain personality COD5 failed to reproduce.
