Cod World at War surprised..

I skeptically downloaded the beta and was seriously disappointed in it. Treyarch needs to stay away from the Call of Duty series, and maybe gaming in general (they shouldve learned that from Call of Duty 3 - FLOP!) The graphics are no where near as smooth and crisp as CoD4, even though they are running on the same engine. The menus and all the customization feels way too cluttered to be organized and accessible.

WaW is coming out in a few weeks and as of the beta its buggy, spawnkills are way too frequent, the graphics are that of PS2, and the guns are not balanced (I went 31 and 12 in my first round with a Thompson, and ranked up to level 4 almost sniping people with the damn gun.)

Some people like it, some people don't. I clearly don't. :twisted: the game is an insult to the CoD series.

Weeks? It comes out on the 11th lol thats 5 days

I've played every Call of Duty that has been released on the Xbox360 to date, and World at War makes me think of Call of Duty 2 mixed with Call of Duty 4, but not as good as Infinity Ward would've done.

I recommend it if you're a Call of Duty fan mainly because the game will tide you over until Infinity Ward blasts us away with their version of Call of Duty :P

You're speaking as if the beta version was the final version. The beta is exactly that--a beta. If you find bugs in it (and you will) you should tell Treyarch about it.

the graphics are that of PS2

Perhaps a little dramatic. The graphics are just as good as CoD 4.

My beef with the game is the fact that there isn't that feel that your fighting guys during war. It feels just like a 5 on 5 or 4 on 4 on a map. For instance, on Call Of Duty 4 the envoirment feels alot more war related b/c you feel like your playing in an area that's been ravaged by war. As for WaW, you feel like your fighting guys in an arena. When I was playing last night I already heard a few people say that there tired with the maps b/c they were either perfect for camping or just flatout rdiculous (When fighting a tank).Heroldp813

I feel like I'm fighting in WWII battlegrounds. I really don't see where you're coming from here at all. Roundhouse looks pretty ravaged to me. Besides, we've only played 3 maps people. You can't really judge too much from just these maps, which themselves might become tweaked by the time of relase.

Not tweaked BY the time of release, tweaked much LATER after the time of release.

That's cool and that's your opinion. My opinion is that the maps don't feel nowhere near as engaging as the COD 4 ones. It's a good game but it's not reinventing anything though. Here's a question, if COD 4 came out alongside COD:Waw, which one of the 2 would you get? (Not having played COD 4 yet)

I haven't played a CoD game since CoD 2 and just played the World at War multiplayer beta and I have to say that I am very surprised at how great the gameplay and graphics are... so smooth. I've been playing Halo and Gears online mostly but after playing this Beta and how fun and addicting it is that maybe not playing CoD 4 was a big miss on my part.. Seriously.. they have perfected the shooter genre and I am going to pick World at War and Cod 4 since I heard it's basically the same thing just based on different times.atreyu27

From what I played of the Call of Duty: World at War Beta, I can safely say that I will skip out on this game.

The beta was alright, but I was left unimpressed. It just felt too clunky to me and less refined than Call of Duty 4.

COD 3 was a fantastic game, and was one of, if not THE, best online console shooters when it was released. Regardless of opinion, it was still impressive how much they added online. Calling it a flop is wrong in so many ways unless it is purely your opinion, random Treyarch hate annoys me as frequently people have no grounds for it. Give me a GOOD argument why cod 3/5 are/will be bad (respectively) and I will try and retortJJpenguin

COD3 was okay, but in no way fantastic, treyarch apparently still hasn't learned how to handle glitches, if you've really played COD3 you would know how glitchy it was, and Call of Duty: WaW seems to be continuing the glitchy-ness of COD3.

I liked it. I also liked CoD4. I won't be buying it though... I decided to put my money on something else. It just feels to much like CoD4.

However I do think Treyarch did a great job with the game. Some of the comments above are kind of outrageous. TBH im just sick of FPS in general. GoW2 will be a nice change for me.

I thought the sniper was a lot of fun to use, the rest of the game......pretty meh. Nowhere as good as CoD 4.

And i hate the dogs, i think they're stupid and horribly glitchy.
