I've heard about CoD 5 being based in the Far East... Guadalcanal baby! So it might be slightly different to most WW2 shooters. MoH Rising Sun was based in the Pacific theatre but I can't recall any other games alon the same lines.

The Far East has a bit of potential... there was the initial US defence of their Pacific possessions (Philipines etc), then the island hopping adventure the US Marines embarked on to take stuff back, there was the very long war in China and also the land war in Burma and that general area.

CoD likes to jump about a bit and in this game it wouldn't be hard to go from US Army to Marines to Navy, and there were also Chinese, British, Indian, New Zealand and Australian forces present in large numbers.

I think Treyarch are decent enough developers... I really like IW but these chaps will get the job done. The medic class was cool, could have ben handled better but a nice innovation. Is it any worse than Martrydom?
