The unrelenting fury that is Call of Duty world at war
The campaign mode (which i always play first) was phenomenal! The visuals were beautifully well-polished. The guns awakened freshness of gameplay whenever you found a new one. Not to mention the Death cards. Death cards are the equivalent of "Halo 3"'s skulls. Similar to Halo 3, most death cards are counted as cheats, but not for you, for your enemies. (They were easy to find also.) Just about 3 or 4 of them help the average gamer.
The audio is groundbreaking, literally. You hear every explosion, every gunshot, and every grenade that has been thrown at you with great quality.It makes you feel like you really are there avoiding being killed by Banzai attackers and the Nazi war machine.In multiplayer,it is a bit more confusing than in campaign when it comes to audio. You hear explosions, gunshots and you fellow teammates in your ear or in the game yelling.You also hear the Omniscient narrator telling you to "Crush you enemy".
Mulitplayer does have a positive side though. You can get a wide spectrum of machine guns, Sub machine guns, sniper rifles, rifles, and even shotguns. But the choices don't stop their, you get to choose 3 perks, including 1 vehicle perk. Perks assist you through the in-game experiences. It is also greatly populated with many different game choices. Such as team deathmatch, Capture the flag, headquarters, and Search and destroy.
The ranking system is much, much easier compared to Halo 3's. Instead of getting one experience point per won game, you get a minimum of 5 points per kill. Depending on what game variant you are playing on you can get up to 50 points per kill. Capturing objectives such as a flag in COD's "Capture the flag" mode, you can get 100 xp points for doing so.
The fun of multiplayer doesn't stop at its highest rank, such as other games. You have the option to gain prestige. Which means you start all over again from level 1 to 65, and when you accomplish that again you gain another prestige.
Call Of Duty: World at war does have its negative sides, but they are not large enough to be written about. I recommend buying this game. This is one of those few games that has such a large replay value.
