Call of Duty: World at War (a.k.a. COD5)

[Axel Grungy]

Maybe its just me but i freaking suck on multiplayer on WAW. On cod4 im not too shabby and can usually get in the top two or three on my team consistently. Maybe i dont know the maps as well as everyone else, but man i just get owned and owned lol. I dont play 5 nearly as much as i do 4 tho.

i totally agree with you man, im not going to brag, but when i play CoD 4, I usually do pretty good, like you im usually on the top three ( mainly third lol) so you would think your skills would transfer to CoD5, but nooooooo i have also been having my *** handed to me on multiplayer. I think its a combo of the new maps, guns, perks and so forth, but i would still think i would do somewhat 1/2 decent. I dunno

And let me take the time to tell you guys how much i hate bouncing bettys!!! ARRRGGGGGGGGGg these things suck. on CoD4 i can spot claymores from a mile away, but these screwing bouncing bettys are so hard to see and i always get caught by these screwing things! and the dogs, i hate that dogs

[jdshift]

It's going to be a learning experience for sure, I have found that if you get a 30+ killing game in cod4 then it was pretty good...........20+ in W.A.W is a pretty good game. Have not had a awsome game yet of 47-7 in W.A.W yet like in cod4, practice almost makes perfect is all.

*EDIT* I also gotta add if your with players who just have NO IDEA what they are doing..........it will make it so much harder on you. I hate campers!! But I found myself having to slow down alot more in W.A.W and camp here and there..........it's a different type of gaming war than cod4.......make some adjustments accordingly. Bouncing bettys do suck.....still trying to figure those bastards out.

yeah ive kinda noticed this as well, i seem to live longer if i camp (which i haate). As soon as i start moving around i get my *** handed to me.

im used to cod4 where im constantly moving around. I have to change my whole gameplay it seems. GAHH!!!

[s13jus10]

I think the only excuse anyone is ever allowed to have for camping is if they're sniping, or if they're playing S&D. other than that, campers can go suck on something.

speaking of sniping, I freaking LOVE the PTRS. this gun is leaps and bounds better than any other sniper rifle in the game. the first match I used it was Sabotage on Cliffside.. ended up 41-11 hahah

someone hit me up on PSN! let's play some Headquarters/Sabotage! Screw Hardcore hahahha

[Axel Grungy]

i swear to god, is it like REQUIRED to have martyrdom. im getting soooo sick of that pansy crap.

[hatchback240]

haha, i feel ya'll on the change of pace that W.a.W provides. it took me a week worth of playing to even place midway on the score board, and i used to run in the 20-30 kill average on COD4 when i played consistently. my friend aaron adapted pretty damn fast tho, he pulled a 54 and 6 out of his *** the other day, every time he got the dogs he'd get a kill or 3 and then someone would kill him, then he'd have artillery and dogs again, repeat process. it was prolly the most ridiculous match i've ever seen agreed with s13just10, i dont mind snipers that camp, but retarded people who spawn camp or just hide in a corner and wait for people to walk by piss me off. and as for martyrdom, while its fun to use, its pretty ghey and gets old, real fast. just put the perk that resets the timer on grenades you pick up and use their faggotry for your own purposes

[LocAL_anarchy]

It's one thing to camp, or creep around, which is pretty much a neccesity in cod5. but it's getting really lame with all the glitch b*****s lately. sure, it's fun on zombies, but in multiplayer, it's just flat-out bs. it's to the point that whenever Roundhouse, Castle or Makin come up, I just back out.

^Hell yes!! They need to hurry up and patch that shiet up.........Mankin I just saw somebody in a freaking rock today, BS!! The glitchers in the game matches need to MAN UP and face their whooping.

[otterman]

Screw Hardcore hahahha

I love Hardcore mode. It's so much funner then regular, I think. It's all I play.

i swear to god, is it like REQUIRED to have martyrdom. im getting soooo sick of that pansy crap.

Yeah a lot of people run around with martyrdom. I think it's kinda dumb. It sucks at first until you get used to it and learn not to run over your dead bodies. I think there's better perks then Marty anyways.

Here's my main three set ups. I have more but these are the ones I use mostly.

Fun/Spray Set up:Main: Thompson w/ Aperture SightExplosive: Frag/SmokeSecondary: Colt M1911Perk 1: Bouncing BettyPerk 2: Stopping PowerPerk 3: Steady Aim

Sniper/Camper Set up:Main: M1 Garand w/ Flash Hider (I hate the scope)Explosive: Frag/SmokeSecondary: Colt M1911Perk 1: Bouncing BettyPerk 2: CamoPerk 3: Dead Silence

Distance Set up:Main: STG-44 w/ Aperture SightExplosive: Frag/SmokeSecondary: Colt M1911Perk 1: Bouncing BettyPerk 2: Stopping PowerPerk 3: Steady Aim

I'm probably going to switch Steady Aim for another perk now that I've gotten used to the guns. Probably Extreme Conditioning.

Anyone else hate the 'Kill Cam?'

[marlin29311]

Martyrdom is gay, both in 4 and 5. Sorry, but we can crap out grenades in modern times, why should be crap out grenades in WW2? I'm sure crapping out a stick grenade must suck.

I opt for more of a GOW downed grenade kill, where you suicide...kinda like last stand, but with the ability to pull the pin on the grenade. I feel it would add more worth to that ability...

I've also noticed that COD5 is becoming really annoying. I find that I only use it for Zombies now, and that is even passable by playing horde in GOW2. COD4 (while it had it's issues) i feel has a much better gameplay than 5.

[otterman]

What's annoying about CoD5?

[marlin29311]

Uneven weapon distribution, rampant camping, glitching (I can't even play castle anymore...), some knife issues, a couple other things.

I dunno, I feel like treyarch just f'ed up the great engine that Infinity Ward made.

It probably doesn't help that I'm not a WWII shooter fan either, but strictly gameplay speaking, it's become annoying.

I dont know about the uneven weapon distribution. Everyone gets the same stuff, just gotta find what you're good at.

Camping doesn't bother me too much, I havn't found anyone that camps for too long (doesn't seem like you can). Even if they did camp for long, eh. Everyone has their play styles.

I keep hearing people talk about glitches. What glitches are people talking about? Is this a Xbox/PS3 only thing maybe? Maybe I'm not paying close enough attention.

Knifing does kinda suck, I only use it to kill dogs.

I've never played CoD4 so I have nothing to compare it to (other then Cod1&2 lol). Maybe if I played CoD4 I wouldn't like 5 so much. : But I don't want to fork over the money for another game.

I play on ps3. Theres a bad glitch in "castle" level i think it is. You can somehow go underwater/ground and shoot ppl from below. Its really annoying and unsportsmanlike, im sure they will put out a patch soon enuf to cancel that.

also, is it just me or does the "sprinting" animation look goofy as all hell?/? i almost laugh everytime i see it. I think the player animations were much better in cod4.

I meant more towards the fact that lower level weapons are complete garbage compared to the higher level ones. The PPSH totally rips people apart, and the PTRS is completely unfair as a sinper. The stuff you start with recoils like no other, and doesn't kill crap. Lower level players are at extreme disadvantages compared to higher level ones (it wasn't this distorted in COD4.)

Camping is just more rampant in COD5 - COD4 had much better open battles and people not holding the crouch button in a corner...

It may just be a console thing - in Castle, there is a way for the lower team to start off and get under the map, making it impossible to kill them. There are others too, and I don't believe they have been addressed.

I still stand by COD4 being a much better game.

Thee are several, and on several levels. Besides the underground killing mentioned on CASTLE, it's really rampant on ROUNDHOUSE. Starting to see it on SEELOW as well. In MAKIN, there is a rock glitch at the top of the map, where you basically crouch inside the one rock sticking out, and you are impervious to almost everything, yet you can pick people off like crazy. And around that corner, there is a window glitch where you can hang in one of the closed huts and fire away. There are a few other as well, but I haven't seen them yet.

Rofl yeah it does look pretty weird. They run super fast too, but I guess they have to otherwise sprinting would be pointless.

Yeah, I can see what you're getting at there. I think each gun has the ability to be as good as another, some just take some practice/work to get used to them. But I guess that would be seen as imbalance, which is understandable.

I actually hate the PPSH though, I don't see why people swear by it so much. It pisses ammo and is pretty weak. The rang isn't too good either. To each their own though.I use the more lower level weapons to for some reason. My weapon of choice is actually the Thompson. My favorite bolt action is the Springfield. Maybe it's weird, I dunno.

Damn that sucks. I doubt it's just a console issue, I probably just havn't noticed anyone doing it. Makin is a terrible map to start with anyways. I can't see **** when I play that map lol

[Axel Grungy]

I find that really all the bolt actions and regular rifles are totally useless. I mean the bolt actions are used for sniping but thats it. I find that if i use anything else but a SMG or a LMG i get totally owned. Unless im sniping and im camped out somewhere.

They should have modes wheres its bolt action weapons only, or SMG's ...etc. THAT would be fun, it would really level the playing field a bit.

Does anyone notice that its seems alot harder to be a sniper in this game?? Even in hardcore mode with stopping power i hit people and it doesnt kill them!! and they dont have juggernaut!! WTF man??

[otterman]

That would be fun! I think they had that in COD2 or 1. It was a server mod though, not something released by whoever made the game. I'm sure someone will come out with it sometime soon. The modding community isn't big for COD yet, I think the people who made the game (can't ever remember their name) havn't released a SDK yet or something. I remember reading something about how the devs havn't helped out the modders very much.

Gotta keep in mind we've been going through a couple of holidays so patches are taking a while. Patches with other games are taking a while too, it's always like this this time of year.

[Axel Grungy]

i had a 22-1 game today. I was pretty proud of myself LOL. Being a sniper on cliffside of all places. I prefer playing ground war, lots more people to shoot at.

[s13jus10]

^^there you go, starting to get the hang of it!had a few good runs today myself.. one game, I went 41-9, very next game I was 37-3, then after that went 41-11.. hehe. my K/D ratio is finally starting to get better. I've got like 3100 kills and 2700 deaths.. just got to level 62.. almost have the flamethrower

[Axel Grungy]

i killed a dog by hitting it in the head with a frag grenade!! not the explosion just the THUNK!! i almost wet myself.

[s2k-stig]

Game is pretty sick catch me on xbox live if any of you want to play.

NineFourFour is my tag

Any one play WaW on the Wii?

IMPOSSIBLE!

And the worst part about it is that there are some really good players online playing the Wii...

I went 3-16 and 2-10 in TDMNo hardcore

i would not say that they all suck with the rifles and stopping power almost every time is a one shoot kill on hardcore. i dont know the name but the first two gun when u go to rifles have like no recoil witch makes it very accurate when your shooting far away or close by. the best i have gone i have done one game i think i got 19-0 then 20-0 then i think i got 24-1 all on hardcore one right after another

Playing WaW on Wii you need to use the stupid motion detection and you attach the Wii remote to a plastic Nintendo gun...So basicly it is VERY difficult to keep track of your vetical movements as well as horizontal.

But as I was playing I found people who are amazing at it...Like rediculously good...Like 40 - 2 kinda good

Just play it one day, you will know what I mean

Lol, they're 40-2 because everyone sucks like you do...they just got lucky.
