From Joystiq: "[...]New scans lifted from the latest issue of the UK's Official Xbox Magazine have confirmed earlier rumors that the series' fifth installment, apparently dubbed Call of Duty: World at War, will be handled by developer Treyarch, and that the game's previously teased "new military theater" will again drop players behind enemy lines in a battle for the Pacific during World War II.

It's easy to be jaded about World War II shooters, but Treyarch makes a convincing argument to stay excited with World at War. The game is packed with a deep amount of gameplay to appeal to every type of player, from those who want to experience a gritty single-player campaign to those who like to play with their friends to those who just like to play multiplayer. This is a solid, confident shooter with plenty to offer the casual and hardcore alike.

Although we still don't know definitively who's developing Call of Duty 5, Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith said the next game will be changing settings again. In a conference call yesterday, he said, "We'll bring the intensity of the recent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare title to a new military theater." Also confirmed were plans to launch on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows and DS -- as well as PS2 and Wii. We're hoping the "new military setting" isn't related to World War II.

The Treyarch-developed shooter will include four-player online co-op for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, while the console versions will also allow soldiers to pair up offline for local split-screen gameplay, with "a unique co-op mode for two players" reserved for soldiers waggling on the Wii. However, the game's online focus won't end with simply gunning down enemy soldiers, players will recieve persistent experience points for participating in both competitive and cooperative online battles.

Early retail checks show the latest Call of Duty outselling last year's game by a factor of two... but there's a catch. "All platform" sales of World at War were double that of Modern Warfare in the first week, according to UK-based Chart-Track. While an accomplishment for Activision, which publishes the franchise, keep in mind that Modern Warfare sold on three fewer systems, shunning Wii, PS2, and DS versions in favor of 360, PS3, and PC versions only. World at War sells on all six platforms.
