No it is not the same COD5 is a Made up name, just like COD 6 COD 7 & COD 8. There are also no games named World at War 2 or Black Ops 2 and it is Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare and not Modern Warfare 4 a game that might be released in November 2013
The following games have been released under the Call Of Duty Series:
Call Of Duty
Call of Duty Finest Hour
Call of Duty United Defense
Call Of Duty II
Call of Duty II The Big Red One
Call Of Duty III
Call of Duty Roads to Victory
Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty World at War Final Fronts
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Mobilized
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex Edition
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
So although the three most recent games are not numbered as such, some think they could be considered games 6, 7, 8, and World at War as number 5. They are not the actual title anymore more than World at War 2 was the title for the Call of Duty Black Ops. Some individuals have even taken to calling the new Treyarch game that will be released in November 2012 as Call of Duty Black Ops 2, which is at least a little better than COD 9. They are not actual titles and should not be used. Some people have tried to use the made up names and should be called out with "there is no Call of Duty 5, 6, 7, etc". One reason they stopped using numbers is because their are two different COD 5 games Call of Duty World at War and Call of Duty World at War Final Fronts for the PS2. There are also more games in the Call of Duty series the numbering most closely is the years of game releases and not the games name or count of game titles.
i think that it depends what you like. if you like ww2 you will like cod5. but if you want modern warfare i suggest cod4. but i personally like cod4.
here is what other people think.
I think COD5 is so much better because of Nazi Zombies online. Its so worth it.
Call of Duty World at war is WW2 which is already over. Call Of Duty 5 is the one in Afghanistan, which is now happening.
No but that has not stopped people from calling Black Ops COD 7 and some will refer to MW3 as Call of Duty 8 learn the name of the games There never was a Call of Duty 5 only Call of Duty World at War
World at War, yes. It has the surroundings, and makes you feel like you're in World War II.
No because black ops has better weapons!
Call of duty world at war was created by Treyarch, the same team that made call of duty 3 and call of duty black ops.
No they are not because Call of Duty World at War in set during World War II
No Call of Duty World at War Final Fronts was designed for the limited capabilities of the PS2 and is not the same game as Call of Duty World at War designed for many of the other systems
No, but Call of Duty: World at War is.
There is no such thing its call of duty world at war not 2 (YET) Call of Duty Black Ops is called the sequel to Call of Duty World at War and was released as the next game for Call of Duty World at War
The call of duty world at war is not a prequel to call of duty black opst.
Call of Duty World at War Final Fronts is rated T Teen and is not the same game as Call of Duty World at War neither is COD 5 which was never released
call of duty world at war
In call of duty, world at war, hold square for ps3 and i think its x for xbox. same as how you get in.
No, Call of Duty 4 was made by Infinity Ward and Call of Duty WaW was made by Treyarch
CALL OF DUTY.
Mine is Call of Duty World at War.
