A recent ad for a Call of Duty level designer has pointed to what many believe to be a return of the game to the World War II genre for the fifth installment of the franchise. The ad in question asks for applicants who are “a fan of World War II shooters.” No doubt we will hear from developer, Treyarch very soon regarding this info.

Last months data from Xfire has revealed a drop of 18% in hours played for World of Warcraft. The drop is not just exclusive to WoW, as many of the top ten MMOs have experienced a similar drop. Second and third spots occupied by Guild Wars and Silkroad Online dropped 13% and 27% respectively. One explanation for the drop is the end of summer holidays in the US, causing many students back to their studies - Halo 3 is also likely to be a contributing factor.
Top FPSs have also taken a hit, with Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer and Counter-Strike Source losing 12% and 18% of their audiences respectively.
