Treyarch Community Day by Alex “Sparks”

- Please remember all information mentioned regarding Call of Duty: World At War are from demo levels/footage shown to us which are subject to change in the final product. -


- Arriving At Treyarch

Upon arriving at Treyach, we were all guided to a meeting/cinema room where we were introduced to Mark Lamia (Treyarch Studio Head), Noah Heller (Activision Senior Producer), and Rich Farrelly (Treyarch Creative Director).

After a brief introduction by each, Mark Lamia began telling us about their goals with this new title. Mark said the team’s goal is to step up and create a Call of Duty like no other. He hopes they can show the community they’ve got what it takes to make a memorable game. He acknowledged that the PC community might be a little concerned since Call of Duty 3 wasn’t for the PC, but he says the team plans on interacting with and supporting the various platform communities in the future when they get their own forums up and more info on the game comes out.

Mark sounded really passionate about Call of Duty: World At War, and for the entire studio tour that followed he was with us every step of the way and answering most of the questions that came up directed at the various developers we met. If he hadn’t been introduced as the President of Treyarch I could have been easily fooled he was a Designer of some sort. It was great to see a development studio’s president not only take time out of his day to give the tour but to also know so much technical behind-the-scenes information about the game being worked on, it showed a good sig

After Mark’s speech, they loaded up Call of Duty: World At War.....

Call of Duty: World at War is due out for Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii this Autumn.

Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has sold more copies than Halo 3. It sits atop the most played list on Xbox LIVE like an invulnerable king perched on a throne. It was, for many of you, 2007's Game of the Year (not us though, but it was close). It raised the FPS bar, a bar many developers have failed to reach since. And now the time has come for the next game in the multi-million selling series.

This time though we're going back to WW2, there's a four-player co-op campaign, vehicles in multiplayer and CoD3 developer Treyarch is in control. We sat down with senior producer Noah Heller and creative lead Rich Farrelly to get the first details on the game and find out why there will never be a numbered Call of Duty game ever again.

- There was a lot of speculation about going back to WW2. When do you think games will be done with a WW2 setting?

In the works at Treyarch Invention, the studio which developed Call of Duty 2: Big Red One and Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty: World at War will take place in the Pacific theatre (and partially in Russia's advance into Berlin). For the first time in Call of Duty's campaign 4-player co-op is supported over Xbox Live - and it supports meta game perks as in CoD4's online mode.

Scheduled to hit the store shelves during Activision 2009 fiscal year, which ends March 31, 2009. Call of Duty: World at War will be available for PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and DS, as well as for Wii and PS2.

“The next Call of Duty® revealed! Watch the premiere of the worldwide reveal trailer for Call of Duty®: World at War only on Xbox LIVE Marketplace June 21-June 22.

Call of Duty®: World at War redefines WWII, challenging players to survive the most harrowing and climactic battles of the Pacific and European theaters.”

It is popping up more and more now.... the rumour that the first Gametrailer of Call of Duty number 5, World at War, will be launched on 23rd June.

If it is a true fact ?? We dont know. :)

Activision didnt make an official statement. 
 

     Details about CoD: World at War are now slowly emerging.

Thanks to Xbox 360: The Offical Magazine we now know that Treyarch will in fact be making this game as rumours had foretold. This may make a lot of you players out there anxious as their release of Call of Duty 3 was lackluster compared to the latest Call of Duty 4 release but there is no need to worry. Unlike the 11 month deadline that Treyarch had to get CoD3 out they will have had two years to work on the upcoming title.

Speaking of titles, as you may have guessed by the title of this news report, the Call of Duty series will be moving away from the numbers in it's titles as #5 will be set to be called World at War.

Now the stage must be set. Where and when will the action take place? As rumoured the action will indeed take place in the World War 2 time frame, specifically focusing on the Pacific theatre of war between the Americans and Japanese. You'll also get to see action between the Russians and Germans as Russia advances on Berlin.

There will be lots of new additions to the series through this release:


CoD4 engine will be used: To keep things fluid and the gameplay environments will be more destructible


Vehicles: Be prepared for all out war with a multitude of WWII vehicles to use


Extreme AI:Get prepared to battle the enemy like never before with the Japanese set to be as aggressive as ever performing flanking moves, setting traps, hiding in trees and in the ground (yes i said IN the ground)


New Weapons: Be prepared to use a flamethrower to flush enemies out of bunkers and set the grass and trees on fire (WooHoo)


Multiplayer staying: The MP mode of play will remain with the addition of new vehicles. Players will also have the chance to upgrade their perks through the new leader system which rewards you for staying close to your leader in game.


Co-op mode: Will feature a split screen for two players and online co-op for four players.
