World at War is not the 5th CoD and yet some people call it "CoD 5."
Anyway, Call of Duty 4 was the last title to feature a major number in its name. Every game after was either a sequel or a spin-off with separate titles.
Since Call of Duty releases yearly, do you think they'll run out of ideas and make a Call of Duty 5? Maybe that one will go back to WW2.

Nah because I think COD is all about the sub IP's now. Sledgehammer will do something new this year, probably Black Ops III from Treyarch, maybe Ghosts 2 from IW.
