Call of Duty 4 Vs. Call of Duty 5 – Infinity Ward or Treyarch?

call of duty 4 cod4 modern warfare vs call of duty 5 cod5 word at war

Now that Call of Duty 5 has been released for a short while, people have been curious whether it rightfully is an improvement from what Call of Duty 4 was. Well, whether it’s knocking down the suchkas of enemy tangos, or gunning through Nazi fascists with a Thompson, the two both have their own good areas.

Each game is made with the same engine, so a certain amount of feel from Call of Duty 4 has been kept intact, with the inclusion of extra perks, UAV, air-strikes, ranks, and many other things. Call of Duty 5 accompanies the addition of more perks with the usage of tanks, and replacing choppers with canines. Graphics are likewise arguably advanced with enhanced physics, dismemberment of extremities, and extra gore.

That being said, any game can have large numbers of extra perks and advances added throughout, but if the general balance and concept of the game doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t actually matter very much, in my opinion. Despite the fact that COD5 has brought many new features and developed upon particular areas, when you take a glance at the general game-play and feel of it, things begin to look less attractive. World at War’s plot is lacking in emotion and luster compared with COD 4, with very few memorable scenes, and limited character growth. Playing through it seems to a greater extent like a barrage of empty meat-bags that lack everything but a measly bone. While in COD 4, almost every new mission seemed to have something unforgettable, whether it was escaping a sinking cargo ship, or attempting to evade a nuke, it constantly leaves you wanting more.

The multiplayer mode likewise leaves something to be sought in COD 5. A lot of the weapons can seem unbalanced and ineffective, but at the same time it seems like there are particular “must use” weapons. Everything else is just tossed in there like sloppy bacon – just as something cool to play with for a while and then forget (can you tell I had bacon this morning?). Matters are vastly favorable for COD 4 in this respect. Most, if not all, of the equipment in the game is balanced in all aspects, so only particular guns will perform optimally in particular situations. Despite the fact that Call of Duty 5 has produced several great advances and many innovative features, overall it doesn’t really make up for the fact that everyone will be utilizing the same “must-use” guns in in each match. I believe that it could have, and should have, been a lot better.

I gave Call of Duty: World at War a fair chance, but have come to some conclusions since, in case you hadn’t noticed :) With the lack of balance and worthwhile situations inside the campaign, it lends itself to but one function: Nazi Zombie Co-op, and that’s just about all. If you’re looking for an good all-around experience and great game-play, COD 4 is definitely the way to go.

    The game is good. Single Player was fun and I also tried out the Co-op which was a nice add. The Nazi zombies is pretty fun. On the other hand the multiplayer is no where near as good as CoD4. It’s a good game, but it wasn’t never going to be another CoD4. Infinity Ward are just so much of a better studio.

  • High On Cookies

    Well it depends on your style of play If you prefer WW2 then cod5 is for you with the WW2 guns , Bolt actions are a nice add especialy if you have a bayonet on it and you know how to use it Tacticaly, Nazi Zombies is fun at first but then gets boring or is that just me? (i Seem to get all the noobs).

    As for Cod 4 i think the Modern guns and maps are what people are after getting to use cool guns to Kill ur opponents I play on ps3 and find both games Very fun to play and switch on and off both

    Can any 1 add anything else to what iv said?

  • Rich

    My COD5 wont work, I even changed my ATI card out for a Nvdia geoforce 8400gs wont work makes me angry

  • Andrew. T

    I haveto agree with what everyone is saying, but another thing is that when i was telling all of my friends about the new call of duty 5 game and when i would mention the fact that it would be going back to ww2 everyone i knew (and i mean everyone) gave me the same response :( ohhh…… i think they went in the wrong direction with this game, and most of the gamers of this era that know like weapons and levels that we would have to deal with today, not back in time

  • i guy

    i agree with your prompt. it matters what you enjoy in these 2 games. (personally, i like call of duty 4,even though i enjoy studying world war 2 more than modern combat. if you can, just buy both.i don’t even have any call of duty games.)

  • kaz

    Agreed wholeheartedly. I bought COD5 and gave it a chance, but I still find myself going back to COD4 time and time again. Overall, I find COD4 to be the best multi-player game for my console (PS3), albeit I have not played Killzone 2 yet.

  • http://www.cod4source.com dittyboppin

    Same here CoD 4 is a much more complete experience.I hate campaing mode in WaW and a really good team will rarely even be challenged in multiplayer mode. I have to say though, the dogs kick ass and work much better than the helicopter :D

  • Faceman

    Fuck Cod 5 And XBOX 360 Even Though In Cod 5 arms and legs blow off and nazi zombies which is lame sometimes COD 4 is by far better ,faster and has way better guns. PS3 owns the Shitbox Please fix me (XBOX 360) Lost And Damned sucks Far Cry 2 Is awesome multiplayer kinda sucks single player is awesome though Fallout 3 looks like crap and is toooooooooooo strategic Brother in Arms is Lame COD 5 gets LAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEE!

  • eric

    actually, i thought the cod 5 campaign was a little bit better…except i loved that stealthy SAS mission with cpl macmillan more than anything else. this guy here is saying that cod 5 has no plot. he’s kidding me. i thought the last missions of the russian campaign was pretty epic and the ending especially epic. obviously this reviewer has never played waw. multiplayer? i dont see how its worth than cod 4. and i love tanks. although i loved the urban environments in the cod4 maps (fav is bloc), i loved the big grassy sniper maps like seelow in waw too. and nazi zombie is just awesome. idk why everyone is hating on waw i think treyarch did a pretty nice job despite the similarities to cod 4

  • Bryce the hero

    they are both really goood ames it comes down to wut is more entertain usin a m16 killin terrorists or a ptrs kill nazis

  • COD 5 SUCKS

    COD 5 sucks ass, i mean really, Cod 4= way better gameplay, campain, Multiplayer, better graphics by far, better guns, more realistic, more creative maps. ect ect. tyrench or what ever the fuck, took everything INfinitty ward did thats great and made it shit. COD 4 IS BETTER

  • CoDfan

    CoD5 single player was much better imo. Found a lot of the historical detail littered throughout the game to be a treat. Also the soundtrack completely buries the one in CoD4 (what little of it there was). The experience was much more cinematic.

    CoD4 did have more ‘character development’ as mentioned earlier, if you consider watching your guy die along the way or become a ‘hero’ thanks to a heavily scripted end game scene to be character development. Zero thought put into the plot – mindless shootouts in Sort-of-Iraq-istan tied to a post-Soviet era anarchist mastermind. I do have to say the AC130 level (with most voiceovers ripped off from the videos posted online shortly after the Afghanistan invasion) was pretty kickass.

    CoD4 multiplayer is much better than 5, no argument there. I buy the games, play the campaign, then play multi. So bottom line in my opinion is buy both if you have the dough. CoD5 campaign is heart pounding, total-war, armageddon style madness (hard to believe real people went through that shit). CoD4 multi has all the modern toys and run ‘n gun shooter fun you could ask for.

    Sounds like 6 Days in Fallujah is never going to see the light of day, so hopefully Modern Warfare 2 combines the level of historical accuracy from CoD5 with the multiplayer experience of CoD4 – that would be a winner. If it’s just Yet-Another-Shooter XXVIII with a ‘plot’ cobbled together from CNN soundbites it will be a 60 dollar ticket to the same, tired game with modern graphics. I’ve been playing these since we were fragging each other over modems in Doom. I expect something superb.

  • http://non nyamyaoreo

    Trearch was supposed to continue the awesomeness that cod4 had. Infinity Ward was tired after making cod4,. Passing the baton to trearch which was supposed to make the game even better. Turns out they screwed up.In cod4 a level 1 should be able to kill a level 55 on a cagematch at least 5 times. But on cod5 a level 1 with a thompson with lame perks with a level 65 prestige level 10 has a flemthrower, PPSH41 with drum round and double tap and some other perks. You cant even get near them when theres a 1100 RPM ppsh versus a thomson with only 20 bullets, M16 was a good idea on cod4 as a starter then its balanced as you unlock better perks but you only get the good guns when youre level 65 and stuff. so basically you have to have a friend or youre screwd. the spawning sucks too. In SND 1 vs 1 u kill someone they spawn within 2 meters withing there original spawning locations. So i have seen a 12 vs 1 snd and the 1 person keeps getting spawn killed and the other 12 people gather around the spawning and keep shooting because he is supposed to spawn there. Its like kills that are really cheap and trearch was supposed to balance the spawning. BOTTOM POINT. Infinity ward chose a bad partner and they did, in fact screw up really bad

    whats more amusing, shooting a terrorist with a M16, Or fucking up some nazis witha ray gun.

    I personally belive that CoD WaW (NOT COD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) was not a terrible game, sure I enjoy CoD 4 more, but CoD WaW was a nice change for when I just get tired of the same old same old in CoD 4. The weapons are a bit more unfair for hgiher levels but still with a Thompson, stopping power, and some skill you can take out a 65. So over-all I think it’s not as great as CoD 4 its just being ragged on a bit too much because it’s not really that bad of a game.

  • http://httpgfhsl willo

    cod 5 is better but od 4 could kick there ass in war cod 5 better gameplay not better guns they both rule

  • http://httpgfhsl beeter than enywone

    cod 4 wins cod5 in the groound it sucks that bad cod 3 could beat hem both in war hahahahahahahah i dont care what the english say beecause there gay way

  • Anonymous

    4 is better than 5 imo.

  • FouLem_Warrior

    I play alot of Cod 4 and Play alot of Cod 5…For me its very hard to choose but Cod 4 Got crazy Guns and no game i mean no game will beat that. But Cod 5 is more like a Dark Place to play with the nazi and shit…i mean its awsome to have a game to play online with world war 2 shit…old school Gunz and very hard to play online(and thats what i like). But if i have to choose or buy one of this game…i mean fuck it for 60$ more i will buy the 2 of it!! and i cant wait to modern warfare 2 comes out…this game gonna be crazy!!! call of duty 4 or 5 and even de modern warfare 2 buy them all!!!
    and for those who say cod 4 is bether…come on you fuckerz take cod 5 and play it online and the story in single mode is awsome with the nazi…maybe your not good enough to play cod 5 what about that huh??? cod 5 got the Best Killa in the world tho trust me…its worth it.

  • tzk

    It’s true about the game balance. At first it just seems like a reskin of an already awesome game with a little bit of intensity, darkness and realism added. The nazi zombies mode is a lot of fun, and personally I thought some of the campaign misisons were pretty compelling from the opening scene to the ambushing banzais to the russian campaign.

    But when you start to do the staple multiplayer, the thing that was already supposed to be awesome because it incorporates the traits of COD4, you realize they found a way to screw it up. It just shows why infinity ward was the group to make the franchise this awesome to begin with.

    If you want to snipe at the beginning, you are stuck with bolt rifles that only do moderate damage to make up for their horrible refire rate. At first I thought that balance was given up in favor of some misguided notion of realism where damage done was linked to muzzle velocities or something, but why on earth would adding a scope to a gun make it suddenly be 50% more deadly? You can one shot with them on hardcore, but then so can the repeating rifles which shoot much faster. When you do get the scopes, the bolt rifles are almost all pratically identical… identically useless compared to the scoped repeating rifle which gets the same magical damage upgrade to 70 dmg.

    Not only do the game’s mines have psychic powers that allow them to tell when a player comes by from any direction (as opposed to the realistic pressure sensors on the real life version that would require someone to pratically walk on top of them) but they destroy everything nearby instead of only in one direction. Since most servers have no friendly fire, the negatives to such a mine are negated. I guess technology has regressed in the many decades since ww2?

    The game has several uber weapons that are just ridiculously powerful compared to the rest, which you can’t get till really high level, so you spend much of game being obliterated by high levels. fg42, ppsh etc…

  • Will

    The exceptional thing in CoD5 is the gentle rascism, and not in a good way. CoD4 Is by far better, especially online, no holes, no glitches and the n00b Tube is not an anchievement when you have it

  • Aaron

    Everything you said here was exactly , right …in cod 5 you are constantly killed by the same guns ,,,, how ever i find cod 5 hardcore alot more fun then regular , mainly on the fact of the guns,,, like the gewheur and thompson and LMG’s ppsh and STG are all more realistically efective then everyone just running around with a mp40 and shit….. Alot of people play cod5 now and i love hardcore search and destroy,, but i always get a craving for cod 4

  • Jonathan P.
  • Tristan

    I like the Story line of Call of Duty World at War more than CoD4 I can get more into that games story. But, on the other hand I enjoy call of Duty 4′s Online gameplay a bit more than Call of Duty World at War.

  • FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU FUCKHEAD

    FUCKING SNIPING ON FUCKING COD5 IS FUCKING SCREWED UP. IT IS LIKE THE FUCKING G3 PROBLEM IN COD4, EXCEPT THERE ARE LIKE FUCKING 5 DIFFERENT FUCKING G3′S ON COD5. TREYARCH ARE GONNA FUCK UP MW2 AS FUCKING WELL.

    TREYARCH SHOULD GO FUCK THEMSELVES WITH THEIR FUCKING DOG’S TAILS INTO THEIR FUCKING G-SPOTS. FUCK TREYARCH. THE ONLY GOOD FUCKING THING IS THAT THEY PUT THE FUCKING TUBE AT LEVEL 3 ACHIEVEMENT. FOR FUCKING WEPONS. FOR FUCK SAKE.

  • John Shore

    this guy previous to me is obviously a retard …. if he had taken the time to do research on who is making Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 he would have relised that the baton is being passed back to Infinity Ward Not treyarch……. this is a very common topic just like the ps3 versus xbox 360 is anhd well we obviously know that ps3 wins that lol xD….. i have both games and feel that they are both really good in thier own ways, like cod WAW if you are in the mood to blast some Nazi,s with a Tommy Gun or a Springfeild then cod WAW is your option but if you just want to blow some Terrorists heads off with a barret 50 calibre then cod 4 is the one for you….. buy them both lol

    i dont like cod4cod5

  • bbaarr

    i am good at zomie i went 2 level 1

  • Ehhuhh

    I think that WaW is a pretty good game except for th online where everyone just spams their mp40s with juggernaut. That weapon is way too overpowered i am a fan of both but i perfer getting shot by an m16 over getting sprayed down by an mp40

  • hahahahahaha

    cod 4 sucks wonse you beat it and get all golden weapons

  • Cod 5

    He said that cod 5 lacked a storyline in the campaign. Errr… Hello? Sorry to go on a rant but the single-player action of cod waw was much better than cod 4. Cod 4 may seem to have more of a sense of urgency but in cod 5 there is somewhat of an aura of brutality. Especially in the russian campaign (executing surrendering germans).

    I’m not saying cod 4 is bad, I have both on my xbox 360 (shitbox, I got the red ring and just got it repaired) and i swap between them. I prefer cod 5 single player, split-screen and online co-op (Zombies mainly) but I like cod 4 online. The addition of tanks was novel, but I think everyone is tired of it now.

    My opinion: Get Both

  • Paul

    Wow, John P. up there was right, you completely plagiarized this article from loyalkng.com. Even the term ‘sloppy bacon’ which you attributed to your breakfast. That’s awful, shame on you and this website.

    http://loyalkng.com/2008/11/17/call-of-duty-4-modern-warfare-vs-call-of-duty-5-world-at-war-infinity-ward-or-treyarch/

    On to the subject at hand, COD5 is much like COD4SOURCE’s plagiarism of loyalkng.com – not much different from COD4. I own and play both regularly, and I still lean towards COD4. The first time I played through the campaign mode, I was blown away. I did it all in one sitting and could have kept playing if there was more to do. I walked away from that campaign feeling like I just played the starring roles in an epic modern war movie. I had never been so impressed by a first-person shooter’s campaign.

    As for COD5, I can’t remember the campaign mode. I remember World War II, Germans, and a dark atmosphere. Actually, when I think about it, I kind of get it confused with the first time I played Medal of Honor at my friend’s house in grade 10. I remember liking the campaign, but I did not come out of it with the same emotion as COD4.

    The multiplayer, for me, is completely one-sided. COD4 brought levels and weapons that forced you to adjust to every situation. You had to choose your perks carefully as to not give your opponent any sort of upper-hand. At level 1, you could take out any player at any level higher than you if you had some sort of strategy. I could go on and on about COD4 but here are some quick highlights – snipers actually mean something; modern well-planned levels allowed for different classes to be superior and forced you to adapt; helicopters are less annoying than dogs.

    COD5′s multiplayer felt sparse. The gameplay wasn’t mean to be much different that COD4, but there was something generally unfulfulling. The weapons were indeed poorly selected – only a few were actually worth using – and the levels were more frustrating than interesting. Dogs were cool and not cool, I’d find myself crouching in a corner waiting for dogs to stab every time they were unleashed. You could still hide and fight during a chopper in COD4. You get shut down hard by 65′s with flamethrowers when you’re low level.

    Overall, I’d peronally rank COD4 over 5. However, it was nice to play the next installment in the series and it was worth the purchase. The multiplayer for COD5 disappointed me when I’d find myself getting killed by people glitching underneath maps and the support team decided not to patch it for months. It’s things like that that help you understand where quality lies in a game. Did they produce it to be a thoroughly thought out work of gaming brilliance or did they rush it out to try and attack the massive market that existed from COD4?

    In the end, I think in this day and age that modern warfare games will take the cake over historical ones. There may be many historians out there who eat up historical easter eggs found in games like COD5, but we see the content of COD4 every day on the news. It’s more real to us than wars from six decades ago and I think we can attach more emotion to content that reflects our daily lives.

  • Culb

    I agree with everything Paul says. The comparison, the gameplay, and especially how weak you make yourself look by plagiarizing this article. Come on, the bacon comment? Pathetic.

  • not-so-daredevil

    cod5 multiplayer is much too unbalanced, i find myself going back to cod4 way too much, i though treyarch was going to make it much better when the baton was handed to them from infinity ward.

    cod5 zombies is fun for a night with your friends, and maybe two or three days worth of “fun” but it gets boring way too fast, including the ones from the map packs

    cod5 singleplayer has a few memorable events, but mainly its shooting people in different enviroments,
    __________________________________________________

    cod4 multiplayer has way more time put into it, thus making the weapons and gameplay much more balanced and enjoyable

    cod4 singleplayer levels have something fun and interesting in each new level, making me want to actually see whats next
    __________________________________________________
    BOTH games suck at spawning
    BOTH games (for me at least) have terrible lag

  • Mario

    Lets face it people World War II has been milked for all its worth modern wars is the future of gaming

  • cod 5

    both good but every 1 that says the guns suck just isnt good at the game so cods and halos and xbox RULE

  • dslafk

    cod waw is garbage
    tanks are way 2 fucking overpowered, it wouldve been fine if the person couldnt get out of the tank and shoot his goddamn mp40/juggernaut
    while im placing a satchel so much goddamn effort put into trying to kill one guy in a tank
    fuck mp40 2 shots to kill and 1 headshot to kill
    guns are hella unbalanced submachine guns are too good
    four tankmaps ruin the game: seelow, downfall, roundhouse, outskirts
    i dont have the map pack because i borrowed it from a friend. holy shit treyarch is like forcing u to buy the fucking map pack. one out of every four times a map that i dont have shows up and i have to back out. it once took me 5 minutes to find a fucking game
    fuck treyarch. infinity ward, do everyone a favor and disband activision and treyarch
    cod4 is hella better and mw2 is hella good…….for now

  • josh

    i heard infinty ward wants to disband activision
    this means that treyarch cant make anymore shitty games
    i fucking hope they disband them

  • johnny

    i played mw2 thats what you call a worthy prodecessor
    treyarch didnt do shit in cod waw
    cod waw had so little additions

  • Anonymous

    Unbalanced is just another word for unfair, you can be outfitted with any kind of weapons of any kind of power but in the end you can still get knifed in the back, so dont gimme that bullshit about WaW not being balanced, there is not one CoD game that is balanced and thats just the way it is.

  • Wow noobs

    Hey dslafk stop whining about the tanks u dumb ass. Here’s what u should do, while ur planting the c4 take out ur gun so when he comes out u can… Gee idk maybe shoot him… And stop shitting in ur pants about how cod5 is unbalanced. I would like to c u guys make a better version although I do agree about the mp40 but the people that use r noobs it r noobs.but anyway, was and mw I would say r pretty equal because it’s the little things that make them both good like in waw it’s a lot faster when u knife someone and the dogs own and the sniping spots r way better than cod4. And also the guy who said the campaign had no plot line or interest must be on crack. At the end of the russian one the guy hacked a Nazi away wiith a butcher knife! That’s something I remembered so u can suck it dumb ass.but there also some bad things about waw like the noons that use glitches and cheat. in mw I like how u can actully enter a lot more buildings than waw and that the sniping weapons r semiautomatic and u can actually kill someone up close with it and defend ur self.

  • Wow noobs

    Sry about the mispelled words the keyboard on my iPhone is really small and aggervating

  • Rduke

    Where to begin…

    First off… I am not sure how anyone can say COD4 is a good game, or even a standard to judge other games… (in regards to PC play)

    COD4 looks ok… But COD5 looks much better-

    The movement in COD4 is close to absurd, as is the game play tactics that people use— Hopping like a desperate twitch gamer in COD4 is almost a sure way to ownage… due to the weapons shooting 900rpm all with laser precision to hitboxes the size of dumptrucks… You don’t really AIM in COD4 .. it is general direction ftw– because the bullets will penetrate through 5 brick walls and an engine block anyway…

    That is the sure signal that it takes far less skill to be successful in COD4 then COD5…

    Which is why so many still play it-

    Cod4 maps are tiny, entire buildings provide as much cover as wet toilet paper and grenade’s rain out of the sky virtually at the beginning of each round.

    It is horrible… shameful in fact.

    COD5 is vastly superior, and is one of the better FPS to come out in a while.

    It looks better, has more custom maps (read larger, more diverse and realistic locations)-
    The weapons take more skill to use effectively and there is way less spam…. Sure the weak always gravitate toward the STG, PPSH, etc…and sure they will get you a bit, but with some experience and a bit of tactics you can wipe the floor with spammers–

    COD4 spam rules the day…

    It is a pile of shit, and people supporting it makes the genre even worse, as it simply dilutes skill and taste.

    For the record I have no problem with modern weapons, as long as the maps are not 6′x5′ boxes with paper walls…

  • jalo

    COD WAW is awesome. Online is ridiculously fun. Every gun is awesome, and the maps are perfect. Not sure what this reviewers is smoking, but this may be the best COD game ever.

  • Falcon

    W@W was so unbalanced and I hated the Campaign. Zombies was the only thing decent about it. Treyarch should put in the towel and leave the Call of Duty games to the professionals

  • Amlabdog7

    COD 5 is the best call of duty in the series call of duty black ops came out a few months ago black ops came out but did not have half the excitment WaW did and the black ops zombie mode was not as good
    the maps are kinda better than WaW but world at wars best cod 5 has a lot of bad language words like
    F word A word D world GD word S word and a lot more one of the nice things about cod 5 is you can go under options and turn the bad language of and the blood affects of wich will please any over pretective parent cod 5 beatsv any other one in the series because of the campaign the all new flamethrower
    (not good in zombie mode) and the zombie mode once you beat the campaign you unlock zombie mode and you start with the worst map nach-der-untoten if you have xbox live or playstation network you can download verruct (zombie asylum) shi-no-numa (zombie swamp) and der-rise the biggest zombie map
    (zombie factory) verruct is okay but shi-no-numa and der-rise are the best i can say alot more good things about cod 5 but i will stop here buy cod 5 you will be happy you did
