Why do people have this huge hatred for this game all of a sudden. Pretty much every one is saying is rubbish but I dont see whats wrong with it. Yes cod 4 is better I don't deny that but its still a great game.
Whats wrong with COD: WAW?

I think that some people dislike it because it seems like a step backward for the series. Whenever a sequel doesn't live up to its predecessor(s), fans riot.farmerboy219 said:
It's not made by Infinity Ward, it's just taking the Call of Duty name and putting it on a WW2 shooter.
AI is ok. Maps in COD games are always linear. Multiplayer is broken (stupid tanks). Graphics is as good as COD4, if not better (which is pretty good). It did everything well, but 1 thing badly, but it's so bad, that a lot of people now hate it (stupid tanks). And dogs>helicopters at least to me.Mazty said:
If you're going to criticize a game, at least pretend you've played it.
yeah like the above nobody wants to fight Hitler any more he's basically been turned into the single most boring villain in video gaming and you can try and say oh but we're gonna take you to fight Japan and stuff but eventually you go to Berlin and win the war the graphics suck the AI is bullshit and as mazty says it's a giant step back with absoloutely no new concepts or levels that makes it 'more like a survival horror game' as we were promised in many of the early reviews etc.
IMO CoD WAW is the single most bland shooter ever! end of story

I liked W@W a TON more than most people I know, but that said, I agree that it's slower, less polished, less balanced, and indeed a step backward for the series.
If W@W came out a year before Duty 4, we'd probably be singing its praises - but like the above poster said, when a sequel takes a step in the wrong direction, then fans riot.
Personally I think the game is decent, but also has to live in the shadow of the CoD4 juggernaut, making it sucky by comparison alone.

Maybe you should read what you quoted again, I don't think you understood what I'm saying.farmerboy219 said:
No, it's taking Call of Duty 1 and slapping on nicer graphics and a different story, like all Call of Duty games have been so far.not a zaar said:
I disagree with a lot of the above comments, I really enjoy CoD - WAW. It is unlike the other WW2 based CoD's as it is placed in Japan for a majority. Also, I quite like the maps for multiplayer (tanks a bit of a let-down) but I still enjoy it! Also, I don't understand how it is linear in comparison to CoD4 (that was pretty straight forward, too!). I disliked CoD4 quite a lot, but CoD - WAW was far more enjoyable.
Graphically, its about the same as CoD4 except with the limb dismemberment (which is a necessity, WW2 was very very graphic), multiplayer has its pros and cons, the story, however "linear" it may be, is more playable in my opinion than CoD4 (the only mission I liked of that game was the assassination attempt). Also, I like the inclusion of the Zombie Nazi side game, mucking around with mates on that is a hoot!!!

Are you saying that COD4 is better than COD5 because call of duty shouldn't be a WW2 shooter? Your point doesn't make any sense.not a zaar said:

You have just summed up just about everything i was going to write about it, i use to tell anyone that would listen how good cod4 was till something in my head told me to try cod waw, and now im hooked on it, but it has taken a step back from cod 4, but i like the tanks and dogs, if it had been airstrikes and heilcopters everyone would have moaned that it was to like cod 4, but its a no win situation, if they are gonna keep changing makers of the game then there will always be people moaning bout it
