Call of Duty: World at War

[andromeda23]

Obviously you've played the beta out and I haven't though... So tell me, what is included, and what can I look forward to?

I'm not saing it's bad. I'm disappointed becasue game look like only model and maps were changed, nothing else. And that quite sums it up. Call of Duty 4 in World War II Setting. With World War II maps, World War II enemies and World War II weapons plus Call of Duty 4 perks and exp system. (which I'm not saing it's bad, I realy like it in COD4). You can create custom class, choose weapons: bolt rifles, semi rifles, side arms, granades etc. The same perks as COD4: Extreeme Condition, Jaggernaut, Last Stand etxct. You can choose from number of attachments to customize your weapons.

In Beta Demo you can take control over tank (two tanks in one of the maps). Like in COD4 you have unlockables and challenges. This is demo version so similar to COD4 MP demo you have Level Cap at Lvl 11 So I can't tell you what is going to happen after Lvl 11 exept prestige mode which will be unlocked at Lvl 65 in full game (I think.

And weapons could be better ballanced. It takes two shots with Arisaka bolt-action to take down the enemy.

See that's fair. And good to know. I mean, are you still going to buy the game based on your xp with the beta?

@Sir_Montague:
I'm not sure about it. COD4 is a great game, its MP was something new and fresh. Actually first modern FPS worth buying, since don't know when (not to mention RS:Vegas - but there is kind of different game structure). Now they are going all the way back. Many people are buying games for MP only other don't give a crap about MP and are only interested in SP. When I first time played COD4 (was in the game shop in the day of the realese just after work, which I never do if it comes to video games), couldn't wait to see SP Campaign. With COD:WW it doesn't bother me at all. Yet another WWII game with the nicest graphics and the enemy is shouting with Japanese accent instead of Russian.

Yet another time video game industry didn't impress me at all. Lack of impression wouldn't be a problem but there is disappointment feeling lurking just behind the corner.
There are probably thousands of players going isomaniac waiting for that game: "This is going to be the best WWII video game ever" - they are saying, saving there allowance, but I?m not among them.

My experience is coming form beta multiplayer demo, and as it says on the beginning it's, only beta demo and lots of things are going to change in full version, but how much it will change? Will it be enough to flush the taste after that "bitter pill"? I'm afraid not, at least no in my case.

In my opinion MP in CoD4 was the "biggy". Multiplayer really and life like single player made that game worth every penny.

In context of COD:WW, at least multiplayer, is going to be lastthing which bring me to spending my money on this title. I can't argue with single player or co-op mode as I haven't got a chance to play it. Ignoring fact that is another title about WWII, I'm sure single player campaign will provide couple hours of quality entertainment. Also co-op gameplay option is another reason to, but like in place of "Kane & Lynch", rent it rather than buy it.

 

[Are.Oh.Why]

Despite the horrid english I share Andromeda's opinion. I had already decided not to buy Call of Duty: World at War as soon as I heard it was about WWII. It would need to get perfect recommendations from at least 2 dozen reviewers I actually respected before I'd be willing to rent it.

I'd probably still hold out until there's a written referral for the game to be essential to human life from about 95 different Nations. Infinity Ward didn't develop it so I'm not interested.

Wish you are right

WWII is indeed getting very old in the FPS genre. However, I am going to give this game a go, because except for CoD3, Treyarch has done some great work. I also like what I've seen of it so far, more so then the just released BiA:Hell's Highway. Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is the only note worthy WWII not in overused Europe game that was any decent, the rest were easily ignored for being poorly made or too bland.

I just refuse to buy another Treyarch game after the steaming pile of horse shit that was CoD3.

I dont care it CoD5 is the best game ever I will never forgive them for what they did to CoD2.

And please lets move on from WW2, the americans turnt up late and nuked a country on the verge of surrender, but I doubt that will be covered.

I dont see whats all the hate for WWII its is just as over done as every thing else, how a bout things like halo(=BAD) with space marines, not only are there a million of them but they even have board games and MMORPGs. personally i welcome this, i want to kill people with doggies!
