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

a million freaking votes for ps3 man, come on now how else are we gonna roll NiCo style

oh, i saw, and knew about, the zombie mode before i found and posted that. it was just such a cool video, i thought i'd share the video i posted before barely touched on the zombie stuff, not nearly enough to make me want to shell out 60 dollars for a game from a studio i dont trust (atleast not yet anyway)

This is true, but there are so many more people I know on Xbox...That plus my brother sleeps like 4 feet away and he is a COD4 head aswell.

SIDE NOTE: Because of me and my brothers proximatey we yell at each other durring S&D modes and people get soo annoyed. They say things like, "cabrita (they pronounce it cab-re-ta) you dumbass, HE CAN'T HEAR YOU WHEN YOUR DEAD!"

LMAO then he dies and pops back into the middle of the convo and responds to what I have been saying...People scratch their heads, Its too funny.

come on richard, dont leave your nico crew, we tear it up!

[Loki]

I just DL'd the beta and played for a bit. My god, that is terrible.

[jdshift]

Could you please explain why.......I am very curious.

Could you please explain why.......I am very curious.

Um I have been playing beta on Xbox and it is a world of diffrence.

- The maps are new, so you noob around and die randomly from behind blah blah- The spawn locations seem random at times. Crappy spawn engine- The way players move is slower and much more life like- The guns are very strange and their iron sights are poor.This means less camping because long distance shooting is VERY difficult.EX:COD4 = More long distance (M16 RDS Stopping Power) COD5 = More run and gun(Only one catagorey of gun has the abbility to use a red dot sight)Other then that, the rest of the guns use iron sights (except "Bolt-action Rifles" aka Sniper Rifles)

All in all I think the game is good. Its not COD4 but if you have never played COD4 then you will really appriciate WaW. For us COD4 guys this will take some getting used to.

[jdshift]

^ Thank you for that first hand insight.......I am so ready to get my hunger back!! Next week babies!!

No problem bob

[jdshift]

I believe in my heart this game WILL BE SICK!! I just saw a trailer for the zombie mode.....OMFG!! Thats going to be an added plus on top of everything else.

[Crautz240]

Im so syked for this but im also so scared to be dissapointed lol

[Loki]

I wouldn't consider myself all that good at COD4 and I don't play it very often anymore, so maybe I'm just not "into" COD anymore. To me, COD5 feels really clumsy and half assed. My bigest gripe would have to be the spawn system, which is just appallingly bad. It's almost as if the game respawns you at just any old spot, regardless of who is there. After having the great experience that is COD4, COD5 just plain feels outdated, despite being a sequel.

I will probably end up signing up for Gamefly to rent both this and Gears of War 2. I'd definitely like to play the campaigns of both, but the online is so uninteresting that I cannot justify spending the money to buy either one.

Call me crazy but maybe it feels outdated because the story in COD5 takes place 60+ years before COD4 Modern Warefare

But in COD5 things explode like they do in old WWII movies.Its weird, every time I hear/see a granade or a gas go off, it reminds me of old war movies (ie Peral Harbor etc)

Any one else thing so?

[Axel Grungy]

game seems pretty solid so far for me. definately worth the 60 bones!! trying to beat the regular game so i can get the zombie mode haha.

if you havent yet, go buy it.

[hatchback240]

^well thats one vote to buy

i'm still on the fence tho, i'll prolly rent it first. i still have nightmares when i think on wasting my money on COD3 i hope for more, but i'll try before i buy this time.

[S14-NEO]

http://ps3.ign.com/objects/142...sGame

hopefully it's not gonna be "Future Warfare" like all the rumors are saying..

[marlin29311]

Thank God....I hate WWII shooters (hence why I;m not getting this game) and I don't like Treyarch. IW does a much better job...

"Future" Warfare scares me. I don't want to turn COD into some space age science fiction pile of sh*t. I HATE those types of games.

Add to COD4 by changing the storyline etcI just hope I don't end up playing COD4 till 2010 =(

Or I might have to just give up on the whole COD franchise

Just got cod5.

All I can say is cod4 > cod5. I am dissapointed but yet somehow I was kinda expecting it. It's really hard to top a game like cod4. Not to say cod5 is a bad game, it's just not as good. I say rent this before you go out buying it.

[Axel Grungy]

is it just me or does the solo game seem really easy?? im like halfway thru i guess but it just seems to be a cinch.

cod4 was a PAIN!! especially the sniper level in pripyat. OMG

[s13jus10]

got COD5 today..

..this game absolutely mother-friggen ROCKS.

say what you will about WWII shooters, but I love the genre. I played (and was a huge fan of) all Medal of Honor games before COD4, and I love the old-style weapons. World at War takes all the old weapons, drops in the COD4 engine, and plots the game into a "new" setting in Japan/Stalingrad.

It REALLY is COD4 with different weapons, new maps, and a whole bunch of add-ons; online-coop campaign, splitscreen campaign, Nazi Zombie mode (which btw is AWESOME), a new "Death Card" system (which is similar to the Halo Skull system), vehicles, it's got all the perks from COD4 and adds on about a dozen new ones (including vehicle perks).. the list goes on. Not to mention everything's a little more realistic; you can tag someone anywhere on their body other than limbs with a sniper rifle and almost every single time, they'll die with one hit. Oh yeah, and when you play Campaign mode, all of your kills and points will transfer over to your multiplayer profile

The story in Campaign mode isn't as strong as the story in COD4, but it definitely meets the same extreme intensity level. AI isn't the smartest in the world, but the difficulty level you're playing on reflects their actions (or non-actions). Multiplayer is amazing. It's as fast and smooth as ever. Everything just feels right. People die when they're supposed to.. all the sounds and gunfires just feel right. Everything COD4 offers is here (except the weapons of course) and more. Even without any of the .50cal rifles, or the shiny golden Desert Eagles, COD5's weapons can easily substitute any/all of your favorite guns/perks. And yes, there are substitutes for the Red Dot Sight, ACOG scope and sniper rifle scopes in the game. It's not all ironsights like everyone thinks

You may just be biased against Treyarch or WWII shooters in general, but trust me when I say this game is everything COD4 was and more. This game simply can NOT be missed. Anyone who refuses even to try the game is just ignorant and stupid.

and oh yeah, it got a 9.2/10 on IGN

Nice write up =)

I played a little online today.It was hardcore and there was a crap load of camping

The spawning engine is still ****. Horrible job with that. I ended up getting spawned in front of two enemies and behind one enemy that happend to be stareing at me.My little brother sniped a someone who had just "popped" into the screen. I was discussed. If you take online seriously then this is a joke...

The movements do seem much more realistic though.Also I absolutley LOVE the maps for COD5...- Diffrent elevations- Natural settings- Beautiful graphics

And I am glad to see that they utilize the BDSs (Black Dot Sights) and ACOGs.

I do like the coop playing features because its diffrent and cool. Its not the reason I buy COD5 over GOW2 but its a neat feature also the campain points crossing over to multiplayer is neat too (its kinda like auto windshield whipers)

Vehicles are annoying but you will get used to it I guess.

IGN gives it a 9.2 then heck its definitly worth a try! So far for ME anyway the game isn't worth my $60

all the sounds and gunfires just feel right.

I accually don't like the way the guns fire, but how do you know if they sound "right"?

Did you at one point in your life serve under Stalin?

[jdshift]

This game is freaking amazing!! I give it 2 thumbs up!! WAY UP!! In my opinion it is as good as cod4........if not just a little better. Got my copy on the 10th at 4pm FTMW!!!! Get yours.......if you ain't got one, you are missing out big time.

[jdshift]

game seems pretty solid so far for me. definately worth the 60 bones!! trying to beat the regular game so i can get the zombie mode haha.

if you havent yet, go buy it.

So you have to beat to get the zombie mode eh? Do we know if you can play that online?

[s13jus10]

So you have to beat to get the zombie mode eh? Do we know if you can play that online?

yeah, you gotta beat single-player campaign to unlock Nazi Zombie mode. and yes, you can play it online. the cool thing is that you just need one person to have the mode unlocked, and everyone he invites (up to four people total) can play coop with him, even if they don't have the mode unlocked yet. think of it kinda like the single-cart download option on the Nintendo DS.

Nazi Zombie mode is FTMFW btw.. this mode alone is enough to justify the cost of the game. it has a very Arcade-like gameplay to it, but is still COD. VERY VERY fun & addicting. the farthest I've gotten so far in it is Round 10 so far.. the developers say they've gotten to Round 23, so that's my goal hehe

[jdshift]

Well damn.......I have not really put much time onto the single player mode, been loving the online play to get up in the ranks. Please, pretty please ......INVITE me for the zombie match!!

[Axel Grungy]

beat the game today so now ive got the zombie matches. Man, its alot harder than it seems. Unless you hit them in the head they just keep coming most of the time. Plus if your playing with idiots who all bunch up at one window, yur in for an *** whoopin!! Highest level ive gotten is 12 so far.

[s13jus10]

UPDATE!!me, my brother and a friend just got to round 22 on Nazi Zombie mode! haha.. we had this big rotation strategy going on where we stayed in one room and each of us was assigned the windows/wall/door/etc and whenever one had to reload we just rotated.. it was crazy haha. it also helped that we each had the Ray Gun from the mystery box lol. one shot kill ftw.. we were just about to finish the round when my stupid router crapped out on me and I got kicked offline.. our rotation was then INSTANTLY screwed up and they ended up getting killed like 20 seconds later lol. we probably would've gotten to like round 30 or so the way that our rotation was working. my friend ended up getting 801 kills and is now ranked #3 on the Global Leaderboards haha.
