Call Of Duty: World At War

I recently downloaded the beta and having playing cod 4 from the day it came out id had my fair share of playtime on the game sao i basically knew wat it was about. Then like most people heard the annoucement that Call Of Duty was going back to world war 2 , and i didnt seem to impressed and thought it would be abismal.

I played the beta for the first time 4 days before the beta ran out and i was basically hooked straight away, the gameplay is similar to that of call of duty 4 but i think its a little bit slower as the maps seem alot larger and not as many 'camping' spots as the 3 maps you play are fairly open. I think the weapons they have hit spot on as they reflect near enough all the WWII weapons, as a sniper fan and single shooter person i love the fact that the rifles you start with are single shooters and that you dont get the red dot sight at 25 kills because come on some people can get that very easyily by runnign around hip firing. Not to say you stil cant do that but this time you have to get 50 or 75 kills to earn the sight. Another part that i found hard but didnt anoy me at all that was all the other snipers apart from the springfield you had to get 25 kills as using it as a bolt action rifle without a scope or dot sight to earn your scope. Frustrating as it is, as you have to hit people 2 times usually unless u hit them in neck or above (this is even with stopping power) it make it harder to rank and get the attachments to the weapons.
As i found with cod 4 i thought it was very easy to rank up and get the 150 kills with the weapons as you get the red dot sight at 25 kills.
On the whole game play and different game types you can have i love the fact that there is still the hardcore side of the game and the normal type. i love the fact that they have also introducded the capture the flag game type again.

On the whole i wud recommen this game and i feel its success will be bigger than the success of call of duty 4.

Having read up on this game, watched hours of game footage and played 4 days on the beta i can say this game is set up to be amazing.
At first i thought this game was going to be cod3 remake that would get boring after a few days. I was soooo wrong, with only 3 maps and half the weapons the beta is still exciting.

Good points;
-Amazing campaign that looks like it will be hard and fun
-4 Player split screen in all campaign and zombie modes
- Zombie mode !!! This is going to be really big, if you havn't heard about this well, zombie mode is a game mode where 4 players online or in splitscreen have to defend a house from nazi zombies, it looks very exciting and hard.
- The online- online will not be as good as cod4 but it will be very good

Bad points-
Unnaccurate guns
Noting else except from its not free!!!

Overall this game will be cod4 but put back 60 years, yes this is a good thing because it is the best game out there but with a huge expansion pack :0

Zombies made this game. Multiplayer was ok until 6 year olds starting playing and ruined games and game chat. Campaign was half decent, but not a scratch on COD 4 or MODERN WARFARE 2

Nothing short of brilliance! Action play is quick and graphics are very detailed! Online Beta play gives an awesome look at what to expect. Will be pre-ordered and played to the max. Brilliant maps, really is World War, can't wait!

Been playing this a couple of days now, and i must admit the first hour or so i really didn't like it, i didn't know the maps, and i just wasn't used to it. (Got killed a lot) and i'm not used to that on cod4 being 10th prestige and a kill ratio of 2.8 :)
But that's all changed, once you get used to the weapons the maps and how people play, it is a great game, good perks, weapons, bigger better maps than cod 4 but a little slower paced. Also it's good to see your legs and arms getting blown off on the kill cam

I also noticed one of the perks doesn't unlock until level 65 (flamethrower) and the more prestige's you do the more custom slots you get to create your own classes, so this time round it pays to prestige.

So if you can get used to ww2 weapons and like bigger maps i think you will enjoy this as on online game.
