Call of Duty 5 details leaked

by: Kincaid


Rumour and speculation are rife that Call of Duty 5 is not only playable, but already going through the qualify assurance phase.



Previously it got reported that Call of Duty 5 will be released on no less that six platforms. However, according to inside sources, Infinity Ward won't be working on the title. Instead, Call of Duty 3 developer Treyarch will be working on the game, as previously hinted last December.

The game is also going to be set in the Pacific theatre of World War II according to the same sources and reputed to be using the same game engine as Call of Duty 4.

Apparently it will only be a 'matter of time' before we see a demo suggesting the game could be released well before March 2009 as previously indicated.

Call of Duty 5 unveiled for six platforms

by: Kincaid


Following the announcement of record revenue last year, Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty 5 will be released in the fourth quarter of the current financial year, ending 31 March 2009.



Activision CEO of Publishing, Mike Griffith said:


We’ll launch on all four platforms we’ve participated on in fiscal [year] 2008.

The game will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Nintendo DS whilst Griffith confirmed that the game will also launch on the PlayStation 2 and the Wii.
He added:


We’ll bring the intensity of the recent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare title to a new military theater to engage our significantly larger user base which nearly doubled last year as new users came into the franchise.

We previously reported that Call of Duty 5 was going to be set in the Pacific Campaign of World War II. However the publisher did not say whether Call of Duty series creator Infinity Ward or Call of Duty 3 developer Treyarch was responsible for the project.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Gameserver - Denial of Service


Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

======
2) Bug
======

In CoD4 has been introduced a new type of connectionless command (like
getinfo, getstatus, connect and so on) called "stats" that seems
related to player statistics and can be of 7 types (from 0 to 6) which
are sent by the client in sequential order just after having joined the
remote game.

Exists an additional type (7) which is accepted by the server and if a
client uses it the remote server will crash due to a memcpy() with a
negative size value (the attacker has no control over the source data
and this value).

The stats packet requires that the client is in the server since the
qport value specified in it and both IP and port must match those used
by the player, so the attacker must know the password if the server is
protected, being not banned and moreover having a valid cdkey if the
internet server requires it.

Solution so far :

Restrict access to game servers to trusted people only.

On March 31th the official Infinity Ward Map Contest ended. (as announced on their frontpage.)

More then 50 maps were submitted on the IW forum. All mappers were buzzing with excitement because after all these years their work finally would be judged by da Masters.

And we all waited and waited some more.....

Then, on the April the 15th, IW's Community Relations Manager; Fourzerotwo posted this :

" We’re getting ready to announce official submission guidelines / location for the Community Map Contest. In the coming week or so we’re going to be letting you know where you can go to officially sign-up and submit your Custom Community Map on the PC. It will also have a list of all official prizing that the winning map will walk away with. We’ve secured some nice prizes so I’m anxious to get this thing kicked off and a winner announced.

I should also have some official news for you on the status of the potential map pack release on the PC along with the Community Map Contest news. So expect that news in the near future as well. "


Bit wierd announcement for a contest that already ended...

I also commented this news with a :

Keep in mind: Europeans never can enter sucha contest. If so.. it would be FIRST time.


On April 16 IW responded with that they would make sure that also the EUROPEAN Mappers could enter this contest... So on 24th of April the US mappers got their submission rules (read legal contract) with May 9 ( today! ) as final day for map-submissions.

But what about Europe? or other continents like Australia or Asia?



Huh... ?? The rest got nothing!!

Since the April 23 there has been no futher update about this Mapcontest. It is still unkown which other countries can or cant submit maps. And we talking about more then half of all maps made for this contest.

So today is last day the US mappers can submit their map. Some European mappers will try to submit their map by using US contacts... But in the end the US LEGAL rules will/can disqualify them.


I said this before: I dont think Infinity Ward can be blaimed for all this. It has been Activision that took over with all the LEGAL bullshit. And now IW doesnt know what to say or dont want to say anything about this contest anymore.

Cancel this contest now. And start new contest in the way Infinity Ward Developers planned to do it;

ALL Mappers submit their map and Infinity Ward picks their favorite.

PeZBOT 004p2 : Pathfinding Fixed.


- Bots now follow SOME of the quick commands, they are;

On Me! - Bot's within 2000 inch radius, will follow player giving the command.
Move In! - Bots will stop following player, and continue playing the gametype.
Base Of Fire! - Bots will shoot at the place you are pointing to
when you issue the command. They will keep shooting until
player tells them to do something else, or they see an enemy.


- Using UAV now also spawns a pack of dogs that attack the enemy for 2 minutes. For now
(till i get the time to make a custom class just for dogs) the sniper class is
replaced with dogs, so if you choose a sniper class other people will see
you as a dog doing a handstand half way embedded in the ground. So i'd avoid that
Use "svr_pezbots_dogpack_size" to change the number of dogs spawned.

- Bots can now play headquarters.

- Bots can now use the hardpoint perks; uav+dogs, airstrike, and helicopter.

- Bots throw grenades. (120-1 chance they will throw instead of shooting).

- Bot animation system improvements, less jiggling about. Correct death anims etc..

- Better ground clamping, bot's shouldn't get stuck in the upper floors of buildings
anywhere near as much as they used to.

- Bots now push out of eachother while moving, so they dont get stuck inside eachother.
