World at War really is putting the World at War Some people hate it Some people love it Wha
Call of Duty: World at War, is CoD 4, but its around 100 years earlier.
First of all lets take a look at the Single Player. There are 2 campaigns which keep on alternating throughout. The 1st one is the Marines taking Okinawa (including the Makin rade) and the 2nd is the Red Armys' advance towards Berlin. This is officialy the best single player campaign ever. You could take it easy on 'Regular' difficulty or try your strength and show good you really are by headign through the missions on 'Veteran' difficulty, as the motto goes 'You will not survive'.
The storyline is one of the best ever created. Obviously main outline of it all was already written 100 years ago, but with everytihng else, like the characters and how they interact with each other throughout the game give almost a second storyline inside the first one.
The online multiplayer is in more ways than one, better than than on the previous game in the series. For example, just the added feature if ur teammate is on last stand, and you have last stand as a perk you can go and revive him and save him from a death.
Extra Match Types eg. War, Capture the Flag add to the World War feel. The running commentary that goes along with the game cann really get on ur tit ends, but uve just got to deal with it. The voice chat is as ever superb, and the maps are absolutely amazing. There is one massive problem that could destroy the game altogether. There are about 10x as many glitches on CoD5 than they were on CoD4. On WaW you can get under around 5 maps now, there are bayonet jumps (although they don't do that much harm tbh) and it really spoils the fun, if u keep on getting killed by a person that is underneath you that u cant even shoot back at.
The weapons are amazing, as expected, with my personal favourite to be the 'Thompson' which is a fantastic Submachine Gun. The Perks are flawless and the added bonus of unlocking extra Create-a-Class slots as you Prestige. Also the addition of Dogs instead of a Helicopter as got to be fantastic.
All-in-All this has got to be the greatest World War II fighting simulation game of all time.
