I Was just playing it on veteran for the last two days and man...the game is sick!, intense in every way , the vendetta level was just plain amazing .... infact all levels had something special .. i just don't see why this game is getting the hate when it offers something awesome in terms of story , MP , Zombie Mode.etc



People Who have the game , what do you think about it?

Yeah , it's sad that they are missing out on an intense + awesome experience...i never though someone could make a really good WW2 game...but i guess they succeeded in doing so.

The IW fanboys don't like Treyarch. Ignore them, they're just fanboys. Wouldn't know a good game if it hit them in the face. I just find it extremely frustrating at times, lol.

I like most people are avoiding it because it plays exactly like CoD4....a game I already own. Once some friends pick the game up I'm probably gonna get it though. But I think your over generalizing the Treyarch thing a bit. Since the games release I have not seen anyone bash the game because of Treyarch, everyone is hating on WaW because its WW2 and its CoD4 copy and pasted with different guns. Developer is not the issue at hand here.

It's a great game, but the multiplayer can be massively frustrating for some reason. Even more frustrating then most other games I've played. But that's just me. I definitely like the Nazi Zombies mode.

WW2 games are WAY overdone. I made the decisicion to never play another WW game after CoD3. I thought they had came to their senses with CoD4, but obviously not.

 

But who cares, more money for me.

Im not a big fan of the whole COD series in general. My brother plays this game and actually won a tornament playing this game. But the fact of the matter is WW2 genre is really over used. Cod 4 was something new which made it that much better. Cod: WoW is the same as Cod 4 just different models in a different time period. This game shouldnt have costed 60 bucks when you can experiance the same thing with Cod 4. That is why people hate on it. Some of the reasons why i personally hate it besides the fact that i hate COD WOW is the addition of vehicles in multiplayer. I hate the lame names they give to certain forces and the voices they use for it(aka marine raiders and the anoying guy who talks all the time"enemy recon plane"). I also think WW2 looks really unatural when every country has acces to every gun in ww2. It just looks stupid to me a german with a tommy gun, a russain with a *** gun, and an american with a mg42.

I hate to break it to you, but a majority of the people in the "gaming community" don't give a crap who made the game. The fact that we all studied WW2 all the way through school, and there have already been about 1000 games on the same genre, is enough to make most people instantly hate it. Because of this game's setting, there is NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING they could do to make it anything more than the same mundane crap that other ww2 games have. Now, I'm just waiting for someone to chime in and say, "YEAH BUT IT HAS ZOMBIES," personally I chuckle at this; it just goes to show that the makers knew that nobody would want their game so they through some half-assed gimmick in to justify the 60 dollar price tag. If anything, that's just another reason for me to never play this game. They should've stuck true to modern warfare, that's all anybody cares about these days; that and future/fake warfare.

Honestly, just because Treyarch made it, doesn't mean I don't want to play it. I played the beta and it felt exactly like Call of Duty 4, but a little less refined and I don't want to have to go through the same leveling system, unlocking most of the same perks. No, instead I'll just play Call of Duty 4 whenever I feel like playing a Call of Duty type game. Money is just too tight right now.

In a nut shell, most people hate COD:WAW because it's set back in WWII. However, what most people don't realize is that the game, even though it sticks to 4's style (which I think it should, or else people would complain even more), is an entirely diff game. Having more perks, using vehichles, using a flamethrower, a zombie mode, 4 -player coop, etc, makes this game DIFFERENT, yet, it keeps COD4's style throughout the whole game. Treyarch made a phenominal game, and if people are missing out because it's "WWII again," then I'm sorry but that's their fault.

I never played COD4 online, but thought i'd try out world at war. but ended up selling it 2 days after lol

it was just bad the guns didn't feel realistic and the gameplay made it feel like you are just a floating

camera with a gun. which totally detaches you from gameplay as it feels inpersonal. all in all i give it a 6.0

Ok? Then what your saying is that every FPS must feel like "a camera with a gun", right? I don't get where your coming from on this one, friend.

Infinity Ward made CoD1. Up untill CoD3 Treyarch was only in charge of making the dumbed down PS2/Xbox versions of the PC and 360 titles. CoD3 was Treyarchs big break and the popular opinion is that the game was a failure. WaW is a high quality game and it makes up for CoD3 but its a game about a war that people would rather soon forget as far as entertainment goes. Noone "wanted" WaW, this is shown by the extreme backlash that stormed the internet when Tryarch first unveiled the game and still persists now. Infinity Ward the creators of Call of Duty took the series from its WWII roots and firmly planted it in modern (albeit fictionalized) day. Treyarch who obviously plays second fiddle to IW took the ballsy move of not following the example.

I thought WAW is a great game... no reason to hate, if you don't like WW2 games don't buy it, but don't bash the game and say that it's bad. Everyone has the preference, I don't like RPGs, but I won't go out of my way to say Final Fantasy 1-13 are trash/bad/horrible, I just can't get into them...

It doesn't really bother me what other people think about it. All that matters is that I am loving it. Even if it is a COD4 copy, is that really a problem? I love COD4 and I love COD:WaW. As much as its similar to COD4 in multiplayer terms, the single player campaign is great and playing it co-op is even better. Then theres the multiplayer itself, whilst very similar to COD4's offers a much different experience. New maps, new weapons, a few new perks, dogs, and tanks makes it completely different. 

But hey, if you don't like it, its fine by me, doesn't affect my time spent playing. Have fun to all those enjoying COD:WaW, and to those who are avoiding it, hope you have a good time with any of the other great games out at the moment/
