Its good, but COD4 is perfect, thats the problem.
In reviewing this game i have to compre it to COD4 as its really the only reason i bought it,
I love COD4, in my eyes COD 4 is perfect, especially as an online multiplayer,
i have played COD4 for over 30 days, gladly achieved 10th level prestige and done nearly all the challanges and i always go back for more.
Ive played COD WAW all weekend and found it to be a chore, its not fun, far from it,
i can only stomach 2-3 hours at a go, compared to 4-6-8 hours on COD4.
The main thing i dont like is the sound, its terrible, now this might not bother some people but when its on a 5.1 home cinema system you expect grenades to go BOOM and an artilary strike to sound like one, they dont, they sound pathetic. I cant beleive the people from tryech sat in te recording studio and were happy with the sound fx?
All the in sound fx are weak, even your footsteps and your enemies footsteps dont sound right, and in game music? i dont think so!
The graphics may be on the same engine as COD4 but IMO they are n't as good, too much gloom, i know thats maybe what they were after to capture the fall of berlin for example, but it makes for a miserable playing experience. Ive been going back and forth between to the two and COD4 is far superior in every department.
Tha gameplay itself feels like COD4, all the games are there, free for all, search and destroy etc.. but it does n't feel right?
It feels lie an inferior version, a cheap copy, the guns are mostly rubbish and the respawning points are at times a joke!
Then theres the maps, some of them are not very interesting, just labryinths that sprawl all over place, we could all design maps that are just big and confusing,
but theres nothing like CRASH, BACKLOT or CROSSFIRE etc ...
I must admit i was sceptical a few months ago when it was announced that it was to be a WW2 scenario, but the trailers and previews won me over, i really wanted to like this game and was looking forward to it, maybe too much, but know i feel terribley dissapointed and will continue to play COD 4 until COD6 comes out.
verdict - dissapointing and very over-rated!.
