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

finally, a CoD for Wii! but, when IS it released? my friend said that the beta came out on the 11th, but I’m not sure, Target seems to be neglecting its existance, as well as Tom Clancy’s End War.
its for wii??? tell me how that works out for ya. anyway im siked for another ww2 game. im gonna kick butt on xbox live.
Ok, World War 2 is sick! Ive played this game and its awesome. Yes, modern warfare was cool, but old world wars is what got this entire series started. So shut up, playing the good game, and if u want modern weapons just go play cod 4 again. Btw, heard rumors that cod 6 is going to be either vietnam or modern but taking place in afganastan instead of iraq.
I love this one - got it yesterday and could not put it down. The funny thing is I was so used to COD4 that when it was dark I tried to put on my night vision gogles and there were none. i then realized tha tthese were not invented yet.
I hope they go back to old wars like the Cival War or something like that. i think that would be cool. Not many weapons to choose from the the tactics would be more important then the weapons.
the online play sucks, if you can even get into agame, you spawn next to enemy players, inside walls and even outside the map. enemys are hard to see. the maps are just too big, you can see they have put alot of hours into the backgrounds, but the people look like they are from cod1, i wish i had rented it before i bought it, it truly does suck hard nuts, i hope infinity ward does the next one if there is one, because i think waw has just wrecked it for me.
awesome for Wii! nice smooth controls and everything! I kept getting killed by grenades, damn them, but yay! its good!
i think that call of duty 5 has just got the same theme as medal of honor or many other ww2 games i still think that it is a good game but call of duty 4 is by far te best..
Well, having bought the game at midnight on release day, my opinion is that it isn’t as good as COD4. Anyone who states to the contrary is not thinking clearly.
The lag online is rediculous, with hit detection all over the shop. At least with COD4 the speed of the auto weapons would counteract this.
Random glitches. On Makin there’s a weird bit that stops you moving (where the platform begins).
Campers are worse than COD4 (admittedly not a game fault per-se) on levels such as Dome.
Grenades are less than useless (akin to a water bomb in terms of blast radius).
Spawn points are quite possibly the worst i’ve seen. I’ve spawned so many times next to where I was just killed (to be either shot or dogged again).
Plus, the whole LOCAL/LOCALE match selection is poor. I’ve still ended up playing yanks with stupidy good connections, even though I live in Wales (P.S: I do chag sheep, before you ask).
In conclusion I think Treyarch should have just been comissioned to produce a big map pack (10 ish) for COD4.
What’s “call of duty?”
i am acually proud of Call of duty 5. i kno that its ww2 and stuff but still i played it last night and it is really good… they need to fix some spawn problems and stuff in the xbox live but the campain is awesome! i still like cod4 a lot but im starting to get tired of modern and want to try something new out
