Why Call of Duty 5 failed before the first hurdle

1) Treyarch are making it, the same fools behind such favourites as Call of duty 3 and... well you can see where this is going, cant you?

2) Its WW2. What... The... Fuck...? Are they mental? Cant they see how popular CoD4 is? Do they not realise that perhaps, people no longer wish to relive WW2? You know, if you take the length of all the WW2 games, its longer than the actual war!!! Trufax!!!

3) Activision do not seem to care. If they did, surely they would either have canned this crappy alternation between developers rubbish or have used their influence as publisher to say "No. No more WW2! No! No! No!"

4) Its coming to the PS2 and the Wii. What does this tell us about a) the target demographic? b) The quality of the game (not necessarily, but likely)

5) Even if it turns out OK, people like Call of Duty 4! And as we all know, gamers are a funny bunch about loyalty and fanboyism. CoD5 will never be accepted. If it turns out ok then it will be allowed into the family as a son. Not a favourite son of course (CoD4 anyone?), more the weedy son that will never come to anything but your own blood none-the-less!
