Call of Duty 5 (Call of Duty World at War)

Source: http://www.clanbase.com

It looks like the leaked details that were reported last month have been apparently validated in a UK-based games magazine, plus news on multiplayer.

For starters the game won't be known as Call of Duty 5, it will instead bear the grand title of Call of Duty: World at War and will be set primarily in the Pacific during World War II, although you will also be able to play as the Russians as they invade Germany.

As reported previously Call of Duty: World at War will be released on every platform except the PSP and will be developed by Call of Duty 3 creators Treyarch with specific teams working on different versions.

The game will be built on the Call of Duty 4 engine but various enhancements will be added, for example burning down buildings and foliage.

As for multiplayer for the first time in the Call of Duty series there will be a co-op mode for up to four players. Vehicles will also feature as well as squad-based elements. Multiplayer perks will also return including some of those from Call of Duty 4, but will be more suited to the time period.

Treyarch have stated that Call of Duty: World at War will be the 'darkest one yet' having had two years dedicated to it's development in comparison to Call of Duty 3 in which they only had eleven months.

Microsoft say no to new Xbox 360 in 2009

Sounds like that rumor about a new, smaller Xbox 360 coming next year might have a shorter life than a red-ringing console.

Specifying the release of "slimmed down SKU in 2009", Microsoft representative let us know today that "While we don't normally comment on rumors like this, we can tell you that we have no plans to release a new console in 2009".

Yep, rumor assassinated, just like that. Of course, there still exists the possibility that Microsoft's just playing coy to prevent a little bit of Osborne effect from creeping in during their heated battle with the PS3 -- but they did go out of their way to directly comment on the rumor, so take it as you will.

Our view: I personally think that Microsoft could be making a mistake not re-furbishing their current Xbox as it brings more customers and can even interest those who have damaged or older models. Maybe a new console is in the making?
