Without any doubt, Call of Duty 4 is a masterpiece. Don't come here saying that Crysis is better, because I have something you don't have anything to counter - please, tell me how is it possible for Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare to run that well on mid-range systems with details pushed to the maximum, while Crysis will surely crawl on those systems? I rest my case here, because we're not here to fight over COD4 vs Crysis. Something BIG is waiting, and that thing is nothing else but...Call of Duty 5!!

<-250x250 Square - left->According to Activision, the fifth installment in the notorious Call of Duty series takes us back into the World War II, and is going to be called Call of Duty: World at War.

The fifth game in the series is taking things to a whole new level, but if they take a step forward as big as COD4 did, I am sure that COD 6 will require brain implants! Here's what Mark Lamia, Studio Head for Treyarch, has to say: "With Call of Duty: World at War, we’re redefining what it means to play a WWII game. We’re excited to give players a host of new enemies that employ entirely new tactics, as well as new, groundbreaking tools – like co-op and the flamethrower – to succeed in the epic fight."

The game will be available for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and all these versions will support online cooperative play for up to four players, while the Wii version, expected to drop by pretty soon, will also have support for split-screen offline cooperative gaming! Oooh, my, remembering me about good old Nintendo times...

Unlike wandering around on two or four wheels, it took quite a while for flight to become available for the mankind, and to become as safe as possible, too. Helicopters appeared pretty late, being used for practical purposes for the first time by the Germans in the 1940s, but then this type of aircraft became popular pretty fast. Speaking as a gamer, I always liked jets more, but it seems we won't get to fly any plane in GTA 4, because all that you can get to fly from one point to another are a few helicopters, and nothing more. Anyway, if you get bored with it, you can easily go grab a boat, a bike, or one of those many GTA 4 cars...

- Annihilator - 8500kg, $52000, 336 km/h (208 mph), 3.1 seconds
- Helitours Maverick - 4500kg, $52000, 336 km/h (208 mph), 3.1 seconds
- Maverick - 4500kg, $52000, 336 km/h (208 mph), 3.1 seconds
- Police Maverick - 4500kg, $52000, 336 km/h (208 mph), 3.1 seconds

<-234x60 Half Banner - left->Same acceleration, same top speed, same price...I don't know exactly if my friend messed these up or no, because I didn't manage to get a chopper yet, and he wouldn't let me play using his saves. Well, a geek remains a geek, so let's hope he's right this time...

It's sad to leave behind the GTA 4 cars, bikes, boats, and now, the aircraft, but there's still a lot to check, like all the characters revolving around Niko but that, my friends, is a completely different story, for another day!

As I said yesterday, today is the right time for filling up our personal docks in Liberty City. Just think about it - the sun is shining, it's Saturday, the wind is gently blowing...so what can be better than grabbing your boat and going out on a weekend cruise? Yeah, right, if you're addicted to bikes or cars, then you should go back and check the GTA 4 bikes article, also having links to those previous articles about all the cars in Liberty City, but today it's all about boats, so go get your life jackets and life savers!

<-234x60 Half Banner - left->The Dinghy, pictured above, is not quite the boat of my dreams, but it can surely take you from a place to another pretty fast, but watch out for rain! With the Dinghy, you may leave home in a dry suit and end up a wet rat...

- Dinghy - 2000kg, $40000, 35 knots
- Jetmax - 5000kg, $40000, 50 knots
- Marquis - 12200kg, $40000, 12 knots

The Marquis, pictured above, is just my kind of boat. Despite the fact it can be very slow, I think of it as my mobile living room, and there's one thing you won't get with the previous two boats - sails! If you feel like sparing some fuel, and the wind is good for sailing, just drop those sails and enjoy the experience!

If you really want to scare your friends fron the interlope world, just get the Police Predator and go to their docks! I am sure their reaction will be priceless...

- Police Predator - 3000kg, $40000, 45 knots
- Reefer - 8200kg, $40000, 19 knots
- Squalo - 3000kg, $40000, 45 knots
- Tropic - 5000kg, $40000, 50 knots
- Tug - 50000kg, $40000, 19 knots

Now, I have no idea why would you get the Tug, but if you really need to get from one point to another on water and this boat is the only alternative...why not? Just be sure your friends won't see you in it!

These being said, we'll see each other again tomorrow, so be sure to get your flight gear in place. On Sunday, we're going to fly!
