The Final Debate: CoD4: Modern Warfare vs. CoD: World at War OR BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I skipped CoD4 for various reasons, but got WaW for Christmas and have really liked it so far, especially multiplayer. I'll get CoD4 when the price is less than $60, of course I never see it on sale anymore.....scfan3

My vote goes to COD4. I was never a big fan of those types of games (FPS) but it really opened my eyes to a whole different genre of games.

As far as gameplay, COD4 wins with me b/c it was the originator. WaW is a duplicate set in a different era but it does have some positives. For one, I like sticky grenade. Bigger maps are a plus, and the tanks are appealing at first but quickly get old when you have a team that does nothing but wait for tank respawns, and its even more frustrating when you have a bunch of dudes on your team who dont have any defense for tanks on tank boards...but thats just a personal peeve. My personal grievances with online players doesnt take away that WaW is a decent game but I think overall COD4 is better.

Gamestop $49.99 (new) and probably cheaper is you buy used.

Ebay you can find at roughly $36.

Now you have no excuses. Go out and buy it and then come back with your decision of which one you prefer!

WaW for me. I'm just much better at Waw than 4. I have just a 1.30 K/D on WaW but i love the hell out of it. 4 i have like a .87 K/D. I'm excited for Moder Warfare 2 tho. There is a few minor problems with WaW like the glitches get old and the big maps with tanks...gahhh. I'm just a big fan of Call of Duty, before i was in love with Wolfenstein Enemy Territory on PC but once i got the 360 and 4 i fell in love with CoD. Cheers to CoD MW2! Have fun and hope to see you on the battlefield. Eis12

Cod4 there are less campers nd the graphics are betternaruto7777

I really like both games...but I prefer World at War...SexyPorkins

it really doesn't matter cod4 and world at war are both good games there is no need to debate over these games. or

Both give me different things. Call of Duty World at War takes it back to what I loved about the series, WW2, and Modern Warfare brings on the awesome modern warfare. Toriko42

Does the bigger box imply the better game? :|

I have to say that COD 4 was better mostly for the new weapons and I love old school mode and the multiplayer maps. World At Wars Multiplayer (offline at least) SUCKED:! but the missions were pretty good. The only thing I realy liked about World At War was Nazi zombies. If the COD 6 has all that COD 4 had plus some form of Nazi zombies I think you would have an amazing game. niches_hugic

Honestly, let's get this thing stickied, because people are always arguing which one is better....Logan1616

the final debate... until someone else makes the exact same thread in about an hourDeltapixel

well thats a point of a debate, when you post a debate you should expect people too argue about their opinion

think a bit before you start a thread, eh?

MW is much better than WaW, the multiplayer was almost a carbon copy of modern warfare's, but it wasn't as fun, everything on the game was a rip off of modern warfare, from the way they descript the achievements, to how you keep getting saved when it looks like you're gonna die, the main menu screen, the multiplayer. Why didn't Treyarch actually try to come up with something interesting instead of just copying Infinity Wards hard work:evil:R7_3

well Waw was my first treyarch game and i liked it but COD 4 is just has great so no contest

ps cant wait till Modern Warfare 2

WaW is what I play more only becuase my COD4 is getting old and overplayed by me. They didn't add much but bloody graphics[GIMIC]and different enviornment. Zombie mode is very entertaining though and even though mnay people say it gets boring I dont think so. Overall, I'd say I had more fun with COD4 because when it was released it had a fresh new feeling to it unlike WaW which feels like a professional mod.Helloiseeu

CoD WaW for sure. The helicopter in CoD4 is way to cheap and the dogs in WaW are much more fair and cooler imo. Other factors that I don't feel like listing as well.PS2Dude89

[QUOTE="Logan1616"] I KNOW THAT. But the gun didn't fire like that in CoD4. In CoD4 the MP44, same thing as STG-44, fired faster. I'm not sure why though. Why are you complaining though, in your GT it says you last played CoD4.... By the way, what is your K/D ratio?Rehehelly

I did last play CoD 4, I prefer it over CoD WaW (although I only have experience of the BETA). Not interested in WW2 as i've played about 1000 WW2 shooters, multiplayer seemed the same aswell, although war was more fun than domination.

I am complaining because about 10 of these threads appear every week. Comparing the two games, why not just stick with the game you prefer. It's like comparing FIFA and Pro Evo. According to Major Nelson more people are playing WaW than CoD 4 so it must be doing something right.

And it's about 1.05. Just got to level 53 today so, i'm still fairly new :)

Cod4. IW actually did something new by bringing it up to current weapons that are interesting and fun to use. Treyarch just went back to the same old boring stuff that we've already played a thousand times and better.FalcoLX

It's a debate you guys, not an argument. They're different. Both sides can bring up details and arguments they'd like to make and both sides can refute. To those who don't like these threads, don't post. There's your solution. Onto the point though, which is better?Logan1616

a debate is an arguement man. one side against the other. its an arguement to prove that one side is better than the other. and that is what this is.ive noticed that everytime someone says call of duty w@w you try to tear them down and say cod4 is better. in your opinion you like cod4, good for you it was a good game,but you dont like w@w, why because infinity ward didnt make it. but uses the same features

every COD has built off the success of the previous entry. thats what sequels do. So why does eveyrone keep saying that like its a bad thing. other than the perk system and new setting COD4 was a copy of 3, just like 3 was a copy of 2, and 2 was a copy of 1. and MW2 will build off the success of both WaW and MW and it will be a copy of both. Especially if they include some zombie mini game like everyone is wantingceells87

[QUOTE="ceells87"][QUOTE="Logan1616"] The only thing 4 really took was the classes really, and even then they totally revamped them. To me, CoD: WaW seems just like a CoD4 ice cream sundae except with chocolate ice cream, strawberry whipped cream, and instead of a cherry on top, it has a nice raspberry. lolLogan1616

[QUOTE="Logan1616"][QUOTE="ceells87"] once again thats what a sequel is. what if treyarch actually had stuck with MW. Then you would be the exact same thing as well and IW would be making MW3 and we'd be stuck with just another modern setting shooter. there isnt a single WW2 game that plays or looks as good as WaW, not even COD2 made by IW. instead Treyarch took what worked in 4 and took COD back to its roots and did it very well. No one here has given legitamit reasons why they dont like the multiplayer or the single player other than the fact that its not MW. Thats everyones only reason. and if thats their opinion thats fine and i know plenty who have the same but that doesnt make it a better game in an argument. 4 had glitches and campers just like WaW has. The only difference is that IW has had time to fix most of them and thats why we dont see them anymore. Given time Treyarch will do the same. All MW2 is going to be is strawberry icecream, on the same kind of cone or cup with caramel, chocolate whipcream, and a blueberry. ceells87

[QUOTE="ceells87"][QUOTE="Logan1616"] Legit reasons? -Unbalanced weapons. (In my opinion, may/may not be true) -The maps don't play to all players gamestyles, some are too large for their own good. -Glitchers, many more bugs in WaW. Will get fixed no doubt, but annoying at the moment. -Bolt Actions not 1 shot kill with stopping power, seems very unreasonable to me. -Tank Whoring -Map Variety. There aren't many specific maps. There are a lot of open, city maps. -Menus aren't organized and there's more of a hassle when dealnig through all the menus in WaW. What I'm trying to say is this. The degree at which WaW copied a lot of CoD4 is very high. CoD4 didn't take CoD3's features and copy them to that high of a degree. Of course, Infinity Ward will be off their own success from CoD2 and CoD. But Treyarch took from IW's success, which in my mind seems unfair. I just want them to come up with their own brilliant game. Plus, after CoD: MW2, I expect Treyarch to go crazy and put it in future warfare. But who knows...Logan1616

[QUOTE="Logan1616"][QUOTE="ceells87"] dude Treyarch had no choice but to build off of MW. Activision is the one paying them and the only reason they can make COD games. if they said "hey we dont want to do that because it is copying a successful game" do you really think activision would have given them the right to make WaW. as for your reasons -COD4's weapons are just as unbalanced by what your saying. -COD4's maps dont cater to every gamers play style and some are too small for their own good. and if they dont cater to your playstyle then maybe you should try adapting instead of thinking it should fit your need -the glitchers when COD4 came out were just as annoying -Sniper rifles like the Barrett .50 cal arent one hit kills which is far more unreasonable -tanks arent hard to kill if you actually try and dotn run away -there are specific maps since they arent all the same -and the menu is EXACTELY the same as MW. I mean 100% the same. What you need to realize is that Treyarch CANNOT go out and make their own brilliant COD game. IW made MW because Activision liked the idea and allowed them to roll with it. Thats the only reason we have it now. Its business and money rules all especially when a company owns the right to a particular seriesceells87

I think that CoD 4 Modern Warfare completly wins in story and wepon wise, but in CoD World at War the overall mechanic and graphics excede that of CoD Modern Warfare. All in all ive played CoD Modern Warfare's campaign four times, Ive only played CoD World at War twice because of the lack of enjoyment in the second runthrough I stopped playing. There is one thing that I favor CoD World at War over CoD Modern Warfare, and that is ZOMBIES! That's the only edge I think that CoD World at War has on CoD Modern Warfare.cokecanw00t

Hey you guys, what do you think about the guns in both games as well? Do you like the old school tommy gun or the new school MP5?Logan1616
