It was just really a copy paste of CoD4's code.
The campaign I really liked because it showed different persepectives in the war (japanese sneaky with traps, russians mercilessly hunting for revenge).It did everything right in my books except the constant spawn rule (you must move to a set line for your team to advance and stop enemies spawning) and MASSIVE numbers of grenades thrown at you on higher difficulties.
However multiplayer was a farce for me. SMGs were made better than just about every other weapon. Dogs can kill you anywhere - as opposed to helicopters which you can hide in buildings from. The maps all looked pretty much the same to me at times with very few vantage points to shoot effectively from. Tanks were overpowered and required alot of manpower to destroy.

Well, as I see it, when CoD4 came out, people loved the way that it broke free from the series and provided players with a game that had all of the best of Call of Duty gameplay without the typical Second World War story to accompany it. It seems as though the return to WW2 was a step back to that generic WW2 shooter - and we've seen far too many of those for CoD:WAW to really offer anything new to the players. So, maybe people resented the fact that it wasn't as innovative for the CoD series as CoD4 was.
That, and it wasn't made by Infinity Ward. If the popularity of CoD4 has taught us anything, it's that if you assign Infinity Ward to develop a game, it's going to be a good 'un.

You know, I loved COD:WAW. It was the first truly visceral World War Two based FPS I'd ever played, and I think it did a great job at demonstrating some of the horrors of war.
I felt a chill as I burned my enemies to death with the flamethrower, and they writhed in pain, screaming as I hurried to shoot them, to end their pain. I felt the rush of furious combat as I charged with a bayonet. I saw my comrades not just dead, but mutilated, charred or with limbs missing, and even watched as a young private in the Red Army had his head brutally blown off. It was engaging in a way that, for me, the previous Call of Duty games simply weren't.

I played Call of Duty: WAW and it was just not as fun as CoD4. Plain and simple. It felt inferior as an FPS is all.
Just the dogs, otherwise, I find it superior to CoD4 in most ways. But I still don't play either of them much. And I got rid of CoD4 awhile back.
Personally I thought both games were overrated. The single-player campaigns were enjoyable for each, but I never really got into the multiplayer hype that both had. I can see how some people may find the rewards for added playing/killing sprees to be addicting and fun, but I just found them to be detracting and unfair. I like an even playing field in all of the matches, not just constantly rewarding the better players with better weapons and tools to make it even easier for them.
I thought it was pretty awesome the first play-through, but after I beaten it, it started getting boring, unless I had a friend to play it with.
EDIT: Also, where are the cheats, they made the campaign in CoD 4 more fun after I got bored with it. Where's the slo-mo cheat?

I enjoyed World at War, but it was just like all the other Call of Duty games. CoD4 was just as boring, only it has guns with red dot sights and underbarrel grenade launchers (and everything fires on full auto).
It's always that same Call of Duty scenario. Lots of AI fighting, a lot of people dying but they're just replenished by more AI. The same MG will get remanned, new panzershreck dudes will appear on the roof .. The scenario won't advance unless you charge up like an idiot, then then the rest of the army will decide to advance up with you, and the respawns suddenly stop.
Neither Call of Duty 4 nor 5 was bad, and they're pretty much the same when you look at it.

It's not that it's bad the game just lacks the variety that is needed to hold the attention of an ADD gamer like myself. People are badmouthing it because, people think it's cool to say, "I like the old one better."
Because it's a reskinned CoD4, which was only mediocre in my opinion.farmerboy219 said:
