Call of Duty 5 headlines Activision’s 2008 release list
“As reported by Gaming Target, Call of Duty 5 (while completely expected) was confirmed for PS3, Xbox 360, DS, PC, PS2, and Wii. Unlike last year’s game, the next installment will return to its World War II roots and is being developed by Treyarch as opposed to Infinity Ward. Treyarch previously handled development responsibilities for Call of Duty 2 and 3, with Infinity Ward manning the helm of Call of Duty 4.
With regards to its other game staples, Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith said the Tony Hawk series will be getting a major overhaul, this after EA’s Skate outsold Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground 2 to 1 last year.” - Gamepro.com

Huh? You would think Activision would have something a little more interesting up their sleeves. I don’t really like nor ever played Guitar Hero, so maybe that’ll be big. Call of Duty 5 should be very very interesting dispite it being in WWII which I’m pretty sure gamers are sick of, but it should be good.
