I think Treyarch have learnt the lessons, and looking at thwat made COD4 so popular. And too say... it looks like a good game from what IGN said. It will be hard too emulate the jungle warfare (Its been attempted) but if they manage to pull it off (And it seems like they are, flamethrowers, sniper tactics, charges and those horrible captures...) it will hopefully rocket to the top.

Disappointing about only two campaigns though. I would've liked to see a Australian or British campaign in Singapore or Papua New Guneia (*cough* Australia was the first to beat the Japanese *cough*) but in the US Campain I can see the oppurtunities (Would they dare include Pearl Harbour?) but the Russian one could easily be replaced by a Australian, or at least Commonwealth campaign.

I never got what was bad about Treyarch, I've never played COD3 so I can't offer my opinion on that, but United Offensive was pretty good.

Indeed. I'd have to agree there. I hope they'll stick to no rail shooting moments (except for the russian campaign maybe) and MOH: Pacific Assault which demoed and died lol. I just hope I get a new comp that can run it lol...

Yea that's true. An Australian would have been a nice one at that...sad thing is is the Russians (afaik) never really ran into any resistance when they trundled down Manchuria(maybe somebody could shed light here). I'm also reading about rumors that a Berlin siege mission or two will be included...ala, end of first game shifted to Asia and fight Japanese type thing...

Neither have I but UO was actually one of my favorite games from the series due to the openness of their MP maps and tank hunting was the bomb!

Does it actually say the Russian campaign will be against the Japanese? As you say it would seem an odd decision since AFAIK it was a fairly one-sided campaign.

Maybe, and yea it was quite one sided. Now looking again it might be in Europe judging by the look of the buildings in one of the screen shots.

No, it doesn't, but seeingas the US Campaign is in the Pacific, and the Eastern Front regarding germany has been done to death (With fought every battle concerning the Red Army, importantly).

Though the Russians encountered 'little' resistance, little resistance is still resistance. The numbers might not seem alot, but it was still people shooting at them. We've fought in Moscow, Stalingard, Kursk and the Red Army surge against Germany in Eastern countries. They could still do St. Petersburg, and maybe the Winter War but...
