These games look great, been wondering which one to choose for awhile.

At first, I was leaning towards Modern Warfare since it had modern weapons, and I love modern weapons! but then, I already have Battlefield Bad Company, planning to get the second as well, so I kinda felt like my thirst for modern weapons were balanced (Did I mention I had MGS4 as well? That has modern weapons too). On the contrary, I've never tried a World War II shooter before and I think world at war seems like a good start.

Those were the factors that kept me from choosing between the two until...

I found out WAW had Co-op! Seriously, this is important to me. About 2/5 of my games have co-op (That isn't even a rationed amout :cry: )in local but then I just RECENTLY found out that WAW had co-op!

I don't know about Modern Warfare 2, if that has co-op then I could pass up Bad Company 2.

Am I dumb or what? :P

I dunno, does that have co-op? I mean, I have real friends and I feel sorry for them just watching them watch only one person play at a time -_-

Cod Waw has co-op as does MW2, but it comes out November 10th...that's a LONG time from now.

Is that confirmed at all? If it also has split-screen co-op then you've just changed my mind.

I have owned both games and I find MW Better by a mile! I even gave away World At War, the guns arent as good and I hate the maps, to many campers and racists to.

I can tolerate campers and racists but, could you tell me more about why you think MW is better?

MW probably has better weapons but i find WaW more fun. Nazi Zombies is amazing if you're looking for co-op and the multiplayer is still fun. COD4 maps are probably more fun but you have to sacrifice the co-op. Co-op made me decide on WaW so i could play with my brother and we've played nazi zombies on end for hours. I'd say WaW if you already have BC. BC multiplayer was just as fun as MW in my opinion but to each his own right?

That makes no sense considering... They use the same engine. They have the same gameplay. WAW has additional features like co-op and Nazi Zombies. WAW had a patch that prevented spawn grenade-launching.

Modern Warfare is better in my opinion. The graphics are better in COD 4than WAW, so is the story and gameplay. But go forWAW if you want, because if you like co op games then that is the one for you. :)

MW is better for MP. However WaW has Co-Op, decent MP, good SP, and trophies...

The gameplay isn't the same. It doesn't feel as good as MW did. MW was the most comfortable and fun shooter I've played in awhile. I hated WaW

I think Modern Warfare is better. Online is about the same except no Nazi Zombies on 4, but I found the single player in 4 to be a lot better and online is still awesome. The only thing I wished it had was coop, but even without it I think it's superior.

So lemme summarize, if I play COD4 then I'll be disappointed with COD5? More or less I guess because I have tried MW before and it is pretty badass. Thus, I'm leaning more towards COD5 since it has more co-op features and it will be my first WWII shooters. Again, thanks for the opinions ;)

I like both of them, but if you're only getting one, I'd say MW because it's more balanced.

Seriously, WaW is broken. Almost every player uses MP4s, they are practically not fair. They have the range, power, everything.

There's no need to use any other weapons except MP4s. Very unbalanced.

World at War is the better value. You get Zombies and Co-op which increase the amount of time you will spend playing single player. If multiplayer is your things, Modern Warfare is more fun. The modern weapons and the time you will spend alive is much shorter. World at Waris the better game though. While the MP-40 is overused, it gives noobs a chance but is not a game breaker. The maps are bigger, there are more game modes, and more weapons to choose from.It is still fun but more of a serious, professional typeshooter than Modern Warfare. The ridiculous no scopeswith sniper rifles and such that seem so cartoonish in ModernWarfare, arenotrelevant in World at War.

Cod4 needed some larger maps, like seelow in waw. Cod isn't really geared toward sniping, more for running around. Kill, die, kill, die. Thats why i'm looking foward to mag. It should be better for longer range firefights, and more tactical play, hopefully.

MW has a much better story than WaW. guns are better, the fights are better everything is just on a better scale but if youre soley searching for coop then whats the point of continueing this debate.

actually it makes perfect sense.. campaign - cod4 online - cod4 weapons - cod4 cooperative for a campaign that wasn't even fun NO THANKS.. zombies i'll give you is the best feature which is really sad, absolutely boring, uninspiring and not fun.. w@w story nades vs cod4 online nades, yeah w@w was far worse shall i go on? i think not..
