Call of Duty World at War (CoD 5) has got many gamers talking with some saying they cannot wait and some saying why the hell is it based around WWII, well we have some more news about the game for those who want the game and who are a little interested.
Activision Inc and Treyarch has just announced that they will be taking all you Call of Duty players into deep South Pacific and European theaters this fall for Call of Duty: World at War, this new game which may be loved or indeed hated is a game that contains a gritty fight that will put players up against enemies that know no surrender and of course the enemies show no mercy at all. The new game utilizes Call of Duty 4 (CoD 4) Modern Warfare engine and now throws the rulebook right out of the window of war to transform World War 2 (WWII) combat through a new enemy, there will be stunning new tactics and new experiences of the climate battles that gripped a generation. As U.S Marines and Russian soldiers you the player will love new features like cooperative gameplay, cinematically intense experience and brand new weapons like flamethrowers.
“With Call of Duty: World at War, we’re re-defining what it means to play a WWII game,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head for Treyarch. “We’re excited to give players a host of new enemies that employ entirely new tactics, as well as new, groundbreaking tools - like co-op and the flamethrower - to succeed in the epic fight.”
Call of Duty: World at War features cool co-operative play “No One Fights Alone”, mantra with up to four-players online for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, or two-player local split-screen on consoles, this game will also be supported on the Nintendo Wii which will also feature co-op mode for two players, what we like is the fact for the first time ever in the Call of Duty gaming players will see new single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution, the co-op campaign will allow you to rank up and like the CoD 4 get many perks in competitive multiplayer by completing challenges and earning experience points, of course this is where the fun factor and addictive gameplay comes from. Whether playing competitively or cooperatively - if players are online with Call of Duty: World at War - they will always gain experience points. Based on a player’s experience rank and rank of the player’s friends, Call of Duty: World at War will scale dynamically to provide a deeper level of challenge.
Call of Duty: World at War is still in development for the Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PC, the game will be released this fall of 2008, the game has not yet been rated by the ESRB, ok so we will see the game this fall but I was not happy with that so I done some digging. Apparently the game will be release December 31, 2008.For more information and exclusive updates about Call of Duty: World at War, visit www.callofduty.com

im a little disappointed as this a ww2 game it means that it will be very limited game play and weopanry. It also means the story line will be similar to a million other games and will nowhere near be as good as the fourth
ha.
Actually i think that call of duty5 will be really good.
You obviously have not played the whole Cod series, or if you have then never appreciated it. CoD 2 was on of the most revolutionary FPS games to come out on console and PC, the engine was completely different from the first CoD and I would argue that its playability rivaled that of CoD 4. Yes, there are cool new weapons in CoD4, but this is WWII. They didn’t have red dot sights on their 8 shot Garands or the ability to call in an assault helicopter. You feel a sort of nostalgia about this game if you were a lover since the beginning, I admit I even felt dirty about playing a modern CoD game when I first bought Modern Warfare.
Was rather hoping the title would have been COD Future Warfare :-(, Ill give it a go all the same.
i have played number one and two and didnt think they were as good as number four. i mean ww2 has had a million different games based around it so to me its pretty out dated as a games bases now…
i agree with dan i hoped it would be modern i just like the guns better
Im getting sick of WW two games their overrated the fifth COD you better be able to customize your guns
If you cant customize guns all I got to say is im taking that shit back
Future warfare???Go play Halo noob. WW2 put man vs man and no weak helis to ruin the gameplay
first off… would u rather shoot a fully auto .30-06 BAR or a measly 5.56 M4? hah in WW 2 pretty much every weapon used was a sniper rifle…. not a spray and pray weapon. K98, Mosin Nagant, M1 Garand again another semi auto .30-06 were all pretty much sniper rifles, but if ur not a gun person then this game probably wont be for you, other than that, they could have a totally different story line for this Call of Duty, if u thought COD 4 was good, wait till you try this, know how awesome COD 4 is i know they will make this game better, otherwise what would be the point?
I agree with you too. The modern weapons are just more fun, and to many games are about WWII. I was really hoping we would get another modern or future game.
Is Infinity Ward not helping make the 5th one? I heard that from somewhere.
