i know thats what i was thinking, going to turn out like thps series did. haha. but being that if its true call of duty 5 is being made by the makers of call of duty 3, maybe it was worked on while call of duty 4 was being developed by the other guys. i bought call of duty 3, and it wasnt a bad game, but was pretty boring all the way through, same scenario the whole game it seemed (from what i remember). then online sucked, or i sucked. i was playing resistance online at the time and when i tried cod3 online i didnt like it. after playing cod4 the game and online i could never go back to the game if its anything like cod3.
