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

Yo cmon guys… yea sure cod 4 had deagles, m4, mp5 but the thompson and m1 Grand are awsome and how could u forget WWII thats what started call of duty trust me world at war is gonna be sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
it’s like some one sed if u dont like it hu cares return it, i think u might even be able to drive the cars and that but thats what i herd so dont get all excited about what i say, all im saying is u dond have to buy cod5 if u dont want to so get over it !
i think COD5 is gona be so cool!!
WW2 will result in less airstrike type attacks and more intimate combat which is really what makes these games what they are……the real question is are you a martyr and a final stand?
Plus although maybe not all fully automatic or futuristic there will be a wide selection weapons..flamethrower!!
you have my vote team COD.
i heard it was confirmed middle of nov in a mag i thought it would b crap asswell goin back to wrld war 2 but type in callofduty.com n there is an online co op video looks mint
YO I WANT TO KNOW IF WE CAN PLAY GERMAN IN COD5 MULTIPLAYER.
well in ww2 did they go to germany if yes then maby if no not shure
i no that cod3 was crap but that was because it was only givn 8 months 2 make it so now that they hav been given 2 years for it meaning its gona be awsome. u may be anoyed that its going back to ww2 but u can do more thing that u couldnt do in other games like use flamefrowers and damage the envireronment around u
Well I gotta say I’m looking forward to it…CoD united offensive was one of my favorite games….I really like modern warfare games but at times i get really sick of the noob tube. frag whoring, and air strikes. I like a challenge in a game and using a weapon that doesn’t have red dot sights or Acogs, just plain old iron sights, is a challenge…Agree or disagree people will buy it and i’m sure it will be just as great as the others.
