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

I think its great they chose this era but feel it should have been brought out before modern warfare, cod 4 is great but helis and airstrikes jeez , half the time you cant get your heli off so you cant get another airstrike MAJOR FLAW.
This is an unexplored area of ww2 games which im sure will rock, and all you guys saying it sucks balls blah blah, i bet youre ass you buy it.
I hope they give it the same feel online to with the challenges and xp because that made you keep coming back for more.
Just watched the trailer and it looks awsome. Can’t wait to flame thrower the fuck out of everything. I agree that it seems like a backward step to make another WW2 game but as long as it provides new challenges and improvements to the game play who cares. I’m sure it will be another hit.
I THINK THIS GAME WILL ROCK , BUT I ALSO THINK THEY SHOULD OF MADE THE LAST ONE WWII IT IS GOING BACKWARDS BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY COD IS ONE OF THE BEST WARFARE GAMES OUT THERE AND EVERY YEAR IM AMAZED AT THE IMPROVEMENTS …. IT SHOULD BE VERY INTRESTING TO SEE HOW THEY SPICE UP AN OLD STYLE GAME AND PLAYING COD4 LIVE IS EXCELLENT I GOT 1000 POINTS AND IM READY FOR THE NEXT ONE …..
I’m sorry you guy’s but….. don’t judge before you played the game….!!
maybe it’s a great game….
maybe it sucks…
So to all of you.. have fun gaming.
GO WITH THE FLOW!!!
at the end of the day if you dont like it, its not like cod 4 is gonna vanish, just go back and play that!
cod 5 look’s so kwl u guys who say otherwise suk i mean haven’t u seen the trailers for it ? IT LOOK’S AWSOME !!!
i have see the trailers and i think it looks to much like cod 3 and if it goes to the future ime not going to get it i think that that wiill ruin it so far ive had them all and will be getting this 1
I have read sumwhere that there is going to be 2 new call of dutys the cod world at war which is out at the end of 08 plus another 1 coming out early next year which will be a modern 1 is this true as i have not seen it talked about anywhere and there is no hype about both games to be coming out just about cod waw.
Yes i am Aviator,
Notorious Leader of the Phantom Clan in cod2, i was wondering if there is any germans in cod5 mutliplayer?
though i would prefer and different time gera, it’s not like call of duty 5 is only goin to take place in Germany, Russia, etc. It’ll also take place in the PACIFIC!!! not many game shave done that so i think it’ll be new, even though it’s old…understand lol?
all i no is that if any of u ppl who say “i’m a huge fan” don’t buy it…ure not a fan.
HAVE FUN!! BUY IT!! if it siks…return it stupid!
