In anticipation of the release of the next COD game I was considering selling COD4 early to get more for it. Then I watched the gameplay videos for WaW.

Don't misunderstand me, it doesn't look BAD, it's just that it doesn't look good. I love the idea of FINALLY introducing a japanese campaign but it still looks so much like COD2! I mean I was expecting some like far cry-esque forest and brush fighting and . I mean that's how it was in the Pacific right?

COD4 had so much hype and anticipation, and it propelled the series so far! while WaW just seems like a huge step back. I don't get it. I must say for the first time I'm NOT excited about the next COD game and I certainly won't be getting it around launch day.

Hopefully people will still be online in COD4.

I'm not picking it up either. Why buy World at War when you could buy Far Cry 2?

Whether you like it or not, this game is selling in the top 10 pre-orders. It's even ahead of Far Cry 2 at Gamestop.com. I'm getting it. It looks pretty good, although the graphics aren't the best.

The attack dogs in MP have at least made me want to try this bad boy out.
Hopefully I can get into the beta.

I think this game will be great, it looks like call ofduty two but mixed with cod 4. Honestly, I got very tired of using cod4's weapons, they were all too accurate and not enough skill to use the different weapons. I'm glad people will have to go back to iron sights.

I kind of want WaW because like chcknbopper said, it is so easy to get kills with the danm red dot scopes so it takes no skill. I am giving treyarch a chance, because it seems fun.

Just heard yesterday that Infinity Ward is coming out with another modern Warfare late in 2009! So ... for me its COD4 online for the next year, I'll skip COD5. From what I've heard around the forums the majority of gamers will continue to play COD4 online more than CO5.

The game engine is the CoD4 game engine and the graphics look great. Treyarch has had 2 years to develop this game this time which is X2 the time they had with the previous. Yes WW2 is a bit tired for FPS but I have hopes this is going to be a great game. Definitely giving it a shot.

Yea I felt COD3 was a low point in the series for sure. Hopefully their extra time pays off. I'm not noticing much difference graphically, but I am sick of WWII guns.

I don't think World at War will ever be played more than CoD4. It isn't a sequel.

Yeah I'll pass too. I have nothing against the developer but it's just that it is so stupid that they decided to go back to WW2 and I just feel that no other developer can do COD4 and the COD franchise better or even good at all than Infinity Ward. I'm going to wait until next year when they release their new COD6 game and buy that. Lets hope they don't dwell in the past like this game will too.

Idk if I'm gonna get this or not. I have played most of the COD games but I have never got one. For some reason I could care less for COD 4. I have been thinking about getting WaW though.

I never understand why people want a vietnam game.

patrol, patrol, patrol, get ambushed, return fire, find 2 dead bodies, return to base.
next mission
go get intel from locals, kill locals child, return to base

sounds like an awesome game to me:roll:

Korea would be a great place for COD to go though

I have no intention of wasting money buying COD5, considering all the great games that will be out or will be coming out at or around the same time it would be a waste of money especially considering Treyarch is making it, COD3 anyone? Honestly what a huge disappointment that was after a great COD2 at launch for the 360 and with how popular COD4 is I don't think Treyarch can make a game that will live up to the hype.

They should have just consolidated this game in with a new Tony Hawk. Mediocre + Mediocre= Awsomely Less Mediocre. Have Paul Walker do voice work, this is would be buyable.

This will probably how it will go.

The IW fanboys will dismiss the game because its made by Treyarch. The game will be released and LOADS of people will buy it the first day and play it. This game will kick ass and sell like hotcakes like EVERY COD game has done. And COD3 WAS popular, don't deny it, there where thousands of people playing multiplayer each day.

And for those who still play COD4, thats fine. but man, aren't you tired of playing the same damn game day in and day out? More DLC? Thats laughable.

I don't understand how it can look like COD2 when it's using a updated version of COD4's graphics enigne. :? I've watched some trailers and it does NOT look anything remarkably similiar to COD2.

Maybe you should go back and play through COD2 again, then you might realize that maybe it wasn't that great of a game. It made for a great launch title to showcase the 360s graphical prowess, 60 fps and great 5.1 audio, but there's no sprint and you can't throw grenades back. WaW should be another step in the right direction.

I know. Maybe they were watching it on low resolution in a tiny window. Or maybe they need glasses?
