Disgruntled Call of Duty: World at War Player

If you plan on doing anything involving Co-op offline then Call of Duty: WaW is NOT for you. After Gears of War, Halo, Half-Life Svenco-op etc I imagined that they could have a decent Co-op experience, but it doesn't. The game itself is great, but the technical flaws destroy all that.

I'm just writing this to warn anybody else who plans on getting it for co-op because some of the reviews I read etc didn't cover this.

1) You cannot save the game playing co-op. My roommate and I just played halfway through the game but now have to restart because we couldn't save it. (Hopefully there is a code or something we can enter to unlock all the levels)

2) The split screen is terrible! It is in fact not even a split screen in the traditional vertical or horizonal, instead it's two squares that aren't aligned and cover only about 2/3rds of the screen leaving the rest to black wasted space. It looks like you're playing 4-player Goldeneye but player 2 and 3 aren't there.

The game is great, but these are big problems for playing co-op offline. This is not a co-op game, but a solo game. If you are getting it because you want to play with a friend, it's not worth it.

Ok, first of all, not everyone has your preferences. Second of all what mode are you playing the campaign on?

From what I have gathered, the CoD:WaW co-op campaign is more for competing with buddies on recruit or regular, to see who can get more points or just run through the levels for fun, not to complete the game. I don't know if you know, but barley any of the trophies/achievements are attainable in co-op, so you might as well play it solo if thats what you are looking for.

Sure, it's nowhere near the exerpience you get from Halo 3 or Gears of War co-op, but it's a first for the series and will hopefully improve, and the screen size really isn't that bad...unless you're on a TV smaller than 32". And you probably don't have any, but much like Halo, WaW has cheats similar to skulls in Halo, and it's fun to run through co-op campaign with some of them on.

And do yourself a favour and beat the game on any mode solo. Trust me, what you unlock after will be worth it to play split screen or online.
