Thanks to Matt over at PCOD (http://planetcallofduty.gamespy.com//) has this info posted:Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/gaming/rumor/call-of-duty-5-heading-for-the-pacific-331754.php) has a report up claiming that a source close to Treyarch has revealed that Call of Duty 5 will be set in the Pacific theater of war.Someone who is more than close enough to know such things has tipped us off over the weekend that, yes, Treyarch are indeed hard at work on Call of Duty 5. And that, yes, the series is heading back to World War II. That's the stuff we'd heard already. What we didn't know is that, according to this tipster, the game's set in the under-utilized Pacific theater, something only one major WWII shooter - the awful Medal of Honour: Pacific Assault - has tried before. While (if true) the move back to well-worn WWII is mostly disappointing, if this game can branch out and explore some of the less "popular" aspects of the conflict (China, Burma, New Guinea), it might not be so bad.As soon as we know more, so will you.

I don't know if that's sad or what. COD4 seems to be doing well so I'm not sure why they'd move back into that era. Look at Airborne and Pacific Assault. Two games w/ promised that crashed and burned.
They should take COD4 to the next level w/ tanks, planes, better VOIP, etc.

Remember T-Rex,
Treyarch more then likely started CoD5 development right after CoD3 so it had nothing to do with CoD4. If what Matt has said and what IW has touched on a while ago.
They (IW) will handle the even numbered games and other Activision developers would tackle the odd numbers. Also even supporting PC/Console odd only Console.

Grey Matter..... now Treyarch created and developed CoDUO and they're the ones doing CoD5. Hopefully, we'll see it for the PC this time around.
