Call of Duty: World at War... I think I'll pass

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.

No Call of Duty 2 is still a great game and campaign wise is the hardest between the 3 games out for the 360, also it was and still is much better then the Treyarch made COD3 game in which it was not a launch game and should of been much better then 2 and it wasn't. Also not only was COD4 better then 3 it blew it out of the water, I think it is a mistake for Activision to keep going back and forth on the game and should just give the franchise to Infinity Ward. It would be great to see the COD3 game that IW was working on (which IW stated they made before COD4) to see if that turned out better then what we got.

Only time will tell but no way do I think COD5 will live up to the hype of COD4 nor do I think it will claim top multiplayer spot on Live like COD4 especially with GoW2 coming out though honestly I don't even see it being in the top 3 played after a few weeks of being out.

WW2 + CoD = FAILMajor-Dflat

Get out.

Here's the thing, Treyarch used the COD2 engine to make COD3. Now if IW let Treyarch use the COD4 as it was being developed, then we would have had World at War much sooner, probably earlier this year or maybe instead of COD3, who knows. So of course COD4 is going to look fantastic, because it's running on a new engine we've never seen before. Since Treyarch isn't developing their own engine for their COD games, instead using modified versions of existing ones, they are pretty limited to what the eingine IW created can do.

Think of it like trying to make your own creative painting, but from something that someone has already sketched out for you. Sure you can colour it in how you like and make it look fancy, but it still falls into someone else predetermined outline. So they're not really able to take the franchise in any other direction then the one Activision and IW allow them. Is that really their fault?

Also, Treyarch develops more then just COD games, where as IW doesn't. If IW released a bad COD game, they should be shut down, since they have no other projects except the COD series.

Yeah, Call of Duty needs to get away from World War II. I think they really need to step out of the box, as someone here said. In Call of Duty 6, it could be set in the future, when aliens are attacking humanity, and maybe you could play as, like, a cyborg supersoldier. Oh, or here's an even better plot: You're on a research station where they're doing teleporter experiments, and something goes wrong, and aliens or demons or something starts spawning in, and you have to kill them, and eventually go back to their home base and kill a big bad guy. Ooo, or better yet, Call of Duty 6 could be set in some, like, futuristic sports arena, where you fight with a team against another team in a tournament.

Yeah, Call of Duty needs some original plot lines.

and the 360 version or ps3 version, which ever looks and plays better most likely 360 ,

I think ill rent it

I may be the only one, but I was actually very impressed by the WaW footage.

Idk, it appealed to me.

I feel quite different. Call Of Duty 4 took the series no where. All it did was throw off balance by throwing ing perks and making it to where people who play way more have an a big advantage over new players.

Im dissapointed that WaW is keeping perks, but at least it's giving us meaningful stuff such as co-op and vehicles. Im sure it will be good, at least better than 4.

For the record though I think the series bee going down hill ever since will left CoD2.
