Now that the beta for Call of Duty World at War is over and the real version is available now I thought I'd reflect on some time I spent playing in the beta and give you insight on what to expect in the multiplayer aspect of World at War.

Any fan of Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare multiplayer would probably all agree on how much they love it because you can customize your loadout of weapons, attachments, grenades and perks to make an avatar that reflects how you want to play so I was pretty stoked to see that in World at War all this has returned but in the WWII setting that we are all familiar with by now and a ton of new perks to choose from.

If you don't know, perks are different abilities you can choose for your character in multiplayer such as carring around a bazooka or satchel charges or being able to sprint longer distances or even being able to revive downed allies.  World at War has much more perks to choose from than Call of Duty 4 introduced and even has perks for vehicular combat which is also a newly added addition to World at War.

There are still the great amount of weapon attachments you can earn by completing the weapon challenges that include killing a certain amount of players with that weapon or how many headshots you can manage to make for even more experience points towards your rank.

You can rank up just as you could in Call of Duty 4 by completing challenges that unlock different perks and weapons and even more challenges you have the option to complete, so even though you may be happy with the loadout you have with your character you may need to tweak him a bit more after earning more perks, but just as in 4 you can only have three perks at a time plus one for your vehicle.

The three maps in World at War beta that were featured were very good, pretty small making for some intense close quarter battles and one map with 2 tanks, one on each side.

I don't want to judge any of the gameplay, after all it was just a beta but it played like Call of Duty 4 which is definetly not a disappointment and any fan of the series would enjoy this game especially any fan of the new customize system and a junkie for the classic WWII setting.
