Well... it's a return to the Big WWII. Personally I think it's gonna be hit or miss, because Modern Warfare was so awesome in its modernness and whatnot that it's going back to the era of Nazis and Imperial Japan vs. America and the Allied Forces just seems like a bad idea.

For those of you not caught up:

Spoiler for Wiki'd:

Call of Duty: World at War is a first-person shooter video game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360, and Nintendo DS. It is the fifth installment in the Call of Duty video game series, excluding spin-offs. The game is set in the Pacific theater and Eastern front of World War II. The game is scheduled to ship in North America on November 11, 2008, in Europe on November 14, 2008 and in Australia on November 12, 2008.

Gameplay
World at War will feature a more mature theme than previous installments in the series. Swimming will be introduced to the series. While in water, the player cannot sprint and will only move at half speed. Flamethrowers, introduced in Call of Duty: United Offensive, will appear alongside flammable environments. The game will be more open-ended than previous games in the series, as there will be multiple ways to complete missions.

Multiplayer
World at War will feature cooperative gameplay with up to four players via split screen on consoles, or four players online, for the first time in the franchise. In addition, the Wii version will also feature multiple players on one screen. It will also use a perk system similar to Call of Duty 4. Activision has also confirmed the presence of vehicles in multiplayer. The Nintendo DS version will feature online multiplayer.

Plot
The story mode features two campaigns, one featuring the United States Marine Corps battling the Japanese Army in the Pacific, and the other following the Soviet Red Army raiding Berlin. One part of a level entitled "Makin Raid" shows an Allied prisoner of war being tortured by the Japanese before having his throat slit by a katana. The player's character witnesses this scene and is later rescued by US Marines who liberate the camp. Two other levels were later revealed by IGN: one involves the player using the machine guns on a PBY Catalina to attack a Japanese naval fleet, and the other shows the beginning of the Russian campaign. In that level, the player and a Russian sniper attack German troops under the cover of a bombing raid.

So, comments, thoughts? What do you hope to see from Call of Duty: World at War?

As for me, I dunno. I don't like going back, like I said... but, this is CoD, and the games never fail to impress.

Personally, i'm not expecting much on this upcoming installment of World at War. Like you said, Modern Warfare is already awesome and honestly that's the only CoD game that got my interest since it was commercialized plus the online system is enjoyable to the fullest, although, connection may get tough sometimes.

now, if the future previews of the game prove to be sth to look forward to then i might consider checking out the game. Then again, i already have CoD2 & 3 for the PC and CoD3&4 for the PS3 so i may just buy it for the sake of collection.

Ehhh. Even if I love WWII and CoD 2, I probably won't get this. CoD 4 is already fun enough for me as it is and it seems like there isn't going to be anything new except vehicles and co-op. =\ *Waits for Infinity Ward's next version of CoD*

Well I got into the MP Beta(360), and it's basically a COD4 WW2 mod

Not that it's a bad thing, since COD4 is still the king as far as FPS goes. If it ain't broke, you know? So yeah, MP is fun. Oh yeah, and Dogs are the new hotness. Watching them chase down and tear apart the enemy is priceless

Utau · 2008-10-12, 00:06

what? they added K-9's in there?

god I hate those

but actually, sounds good to hear they added that. anymore mods aded?

I've only played a few matches or so, so haven't discovered everything. Outside of Dogs, there's some of the same stuff that was in COD4. For instance, calling in a recon plane, and calling in air strikes. The dogs are the equivalent of the UAV I guess. I did receive a gas mask perk, so I'm guessing their are gas(mustard?) bombs or something. Haven't encountered gas though yet. One of my friends said he got gassed before, said your vision starts to blur, you start coughing, and it's harder to maneuver. So having the gas mask on pretty much eliminates that obviously. Oh yeah, and tanks suck. Don't like them at all. The few times I've seen them in action they were all controlled by guys on my team. So it's not like I was getting owned by them, just don't like them.

also, not real big fan of the maps. There's only one I played that felt balanced. The other two are either poorly designed or spawn camping city. Overall though, it does seem to look a bit better than COD4, and run smoother. In MP that is.

Edit: Yeah, Tabun gas is what its called. Just ran into a match where everyone were spamming them like no tomorrow.
