The rumors just keep coming readers! This next one is from the same source as all the rest, and has to do with the next installment in the Call Of Duty series. Just like the fourth installments various box arts, it seems that the fifth installment will have many different box arts before any single one is chosen to represent the game.
Also, as you may have noticed, none of the box arts have the number "5" on them anywhere. Instead, the game seems to have solely adopted the recently announced subtitle of World at War.

Update: Clarified confusion regarding the World at War subtitle.

It's odd that you guys had this survey this morning and yet are only posting this once we all at Neogaf played detectives and I commented here. It's nice to cite your sources, even if you had them already, because you obviously didn't realize what you actually had. I brought Forza 3 being 2 discs to your attention in the comments, and no thank you.
::sighs:: Oh well.

Same as I posted in the other thread:
I've been a member on GAF for years, thanks.
We'll be getting everything up over the course of the day.

I think that at this point, it goes without saying that these rumors are looking very legit. Sorry Jeff.
As for the ploy of avoiding the already present stigma Call of Duty 5 has, you're absolutely on point.

Perhaps not calling it COD5 is a sop to Infinity Ward allowing them to produce the "proper" sequel and Treyarch to be handed the "update".

Yes, that's what IGN seems to think as well. COD5 is saved for IW and next time.

This is just another "big red one" or to put it another way something we have seen before.

I like the top right one, but now we have confirmation that it's WWII again it seems, judging by the uniforms and guns.
Lame.

Top left is ,by far, the best.
But I'm all for another good, good being the key word, WWII game. To me, "modern" war games are a little boring. If I want to see "modern" war, I'll go to Youtube or CNN and watch it. WWII is THE war of all wars. And is more interesting in my opinion.

Shit, sorry, I meant top left was the best. I was agreeing with you on that one.

I give up. It's too late. Top right, top right. Fuck, this is embarrassing. Goodnight.

It's supposed to be set in the Pacific theater, which would be a slight change in pace. I like the box art with the helmets on the rifles.

Wasn't it already known that this wasn't gonna be a True sequel to COD4 I mean Infinity Ward seems to be smart enough to know that going back in time was outdated and boring and that the presnt day is where all the action is at.
I hope this has 32 multiplayer online cause I'm getting sick of the usually not going above 20.

i thought it was public knowledge that this one is called Call of Duty: World at War. It's been in magazines and mentioned on a few websites, i thought it had been mentioned here also

You are correct, this is where i heard about it last week i think.
WTF are you guys on.....fair point the box art stuff is new.
P.S. I go with the helmet one (the 3rd preview at the top)

Top right (helmets on rifles) definitely wins.

that one reminds me slightly of Resistance: FoM, and Ninja Gaiden II, because of the rifles in the ground.

Thank you. (for agreeing with my above post)
I think that one is definitely the best too.

I agree with the upper right box art. Truly dramatic.
