Some Call Of Duty 5 details revealed

From gamercentreonline.net:

Mutliplayer perks are also back, including some of the favorites from Call of Duty 4, but there will also be new ones that better suit the time period. The game also features new weapons for the series, such as the flamethrower, which according to OXM, can melt the skin off of your enemies and set ablaze grass and wooden buildings. You are also able to shoot throw materials depending on the strength of the material.

I bet Martyrdom will make it back for all the losers.

Also a squad system (from uk.gamespot.com):

Competitive multiplayer, meanwhile, looks to be a bit more familiar. The system of persistent leveling and character perks used in Modern Warfare has been borrowed and enhanced with a number of new upgrades, like a flak jacket that helps protect you from grenade blasts. But not everything is strictly influenced by Modern Warfare. New to this game will be a squad system (a smaller group within the normal team) where spawns are highly influenced by where your squadmates are and cooperation is encouraged through a squad-only waypoint system. Vehicles will also make a return, though not the swift motorcycles and jeeps seen in Call of Duty 3. This time around the vehicle focus is on heavy-duty machinery like tanks and trucks. If Treyarch is able to pull off forming a cohesive experience out of all these elements and influences, the multiplayer experience should be quite the competitive powerhouse.

I'd be surprised to see Marytrdom in COD5 actually. Sounds like the perks are being chosen on how well they fit the time and I don't even Nazi's had suicide bombers

But there were kamikaze pilots then! :p

Really hope not anyway, think i heard from one of the BAB guys that the cod4 PC version with up to 32 players can be unplayable because of martyrdom and 3x frags.

Or if they insist on martyrdom, only triggers when they have any grenades left. Or sort out silly occurances that happen from it like trying to avoid a group of players with martyrdom just killed by an airstrike.
