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

ive yet to get the raygun, the stupid mystery gun box keeps giving me the kar98 lol.

Did you guys stay on the ground level or go upstairs at all?? seems like whenever i play as soon as we go upstairs we usually lose.

[s13jus10]

we stayed on the ground level. here's our strategy more in depth:

-stay in the main room and just kill off the zombies until about round 5 or so. -to get more points for every kill, shoot the zombies in the body about 5 times, then kill him with a headshot for 100 points more. so by round 5, each of us had about 2,500 points or so killing them and boarding up windows.-opened the door that says "help" on it, and everyone buys the Mystery Box as much as they can until they get weapons they wanted (best ones in order are the Raygun, Magnum, then the LMGs. the flamethrower also works wonders when you have Insta-Kill) note: SHOTGUNS SUCK. they take WAY too much time to reload. SNIPERS suck in this map also. STAY AWAY.-at this time, we stationed 1 person in the Mystery Box room and the other 2 people in the main room. we just kept holding them off at our stations as much as possible, and between every round we'd each take a break to buy the mystery box as many times as we could until we'd get something good.-around round 11 or 12, we would then all move into the Mystery Box room and hold off the Zombies from there. I was stationed to just watch the windows, my brother would watch that hidden wall that breaks down, and my friend would stay at the door and simply blast away at all the zombies that come in from the main room.-whenever my friend would need to reload, my brother would cover for him, and I would rotate to watch the windows and the wall. It was easy for my brother and me to reload while boarding up the windows/wall. and every once in a while, one of us would throw a grenade into the main room of swarming communist zombies. note: each player gets 2 grenades replenished at the end of every round.-at the end of every round, when all the zombies are gone, we would run out to the main room and board up all windows as much as we could just to hold them off as much as possible.-then when the zombies started swarming in again, we would all retreat back to the Mystery Box room and restart our rotation again.-Lather, Rinse, Repeat lol.

yeah, we played a LOT to figure out an actual strategy for it. we would've gotten way farther than round 22 if I didn't get kicked off or if we had a 4th person to help out.

Well, after playing this game for a few more hours my opinion has changed a little. I still don't like it quite as much a cod4 but it's getting really close. The more I play the single player the more I'm liking it. I definately like multiplayer on 4 better but the maps on this one are fantastic. In another month I'll know if I really like this game or not, I love the dog feature in multiplayer though, that's my favorite.

Btw, flamethrower ftw!!!

Hmm, this thread is getting interesting.

My brother got COD5 for the Box so I will wonder around these options and modes you guys mention...

[jdshift]

Dude you won't be disappointed!! Jump into the game already

got to level 15 on zombie mode. I have still yet to get the flamethrower yet GRRRR i wants it.

[jdshift]

Put in a request at gamestop for the carbine gun........I did not even pre-order with them, they gave me a code for one FTW!!

[jdshift]

Anybody going to invite me for the zombie fest!!??

[Axel Grungy]

the carbine sucks personally. I get owned if i use anything else than an SMG. You cant make your own class with the carbine either, you can only use it in the RIFLE class that is default. BIG JIP

[s13jus10]

I asked them for one too, but they said they're "not allowed to give them out anymore".. ghey

Free guns are FTW, but the carbine most certainly is NOT. that thing SUCKS.

Right now, for small/medium maps I use the Thompson BDS/Bouncing Betty/Stopping Power/Martyrdom, and for medium/large maps I use the Gewehr with the same perks as above.

on the same note, I freaking LOVE this game!! MAPS!! GUNS!! DOGS!! ZOMBIES!! AAAAHHHH!!!11!!1

my only complaint so far is about the online. they still havent gotten it to play 12 to 18 players smoothly round after round after round. i still have the same connection problems i did with cod4, and it still pisses me off. they should have called up insomniac and got some pointers from them on how to do online. i have only had one disconnect on that, and it wasnt even a 60 player map at the time. the 60 player online usually runs better then cod4 and 5, and the 8player coop hasnt screwed me yet.

So far so good.The single player is not as good as COD4 but they tried, they tried. Co-op mode makes the campaign much more fun, so this levels out the playing field.Zombie mode is almost as fun as Horde mode, and well worth a gander.

Multiplayer is a copy and paste of COD4 so if you enjoyed COD4 you will enjoy this. THe maps are generally larger, since alot of people complained that COD4 maps were too small.

My biggest gripe is the later weapons are absolutely ruthless. In this game seeing high level people is really scary because theres a big chance they are using one of the ridiculously overpowered guns.

PPsH - this thing has no recoil, shoots fast as f*** and has decent bullet damage...even in the hands of a terrible player its a force to be reckoned with.

Potaris - What a gun, what a gun. Get shot in the leg and it dismembers you. I suck at sniping, but when i picked this thing up, i became lethal, just point it in the general direction and boom....dismemberment.

MP44 - the only automatic rifle, makes short work of anyone foolish enough to stand in front of it.

FG42 - The only MG worth holding, sleight of hand makes this arguably the best gun in the game. Accurate up to 100 billion meters, lots of power, and in close quarters its fire rate makes it a room clearer.

Sawn-off shotgun - Sleight of hand, and close quarters = devastation....absolute devastation.

These later weapons make it almost impossible for low level people to win any gun fights. I had to resort to guerrilla tactics, to get any kills. no need for dead silence just crouch and no one will hear you coming.

But all in all its definitely worth the purchase, its not game of the year material like COD4 was, but its def worth the money. A patch or two will make this game golden.

[jdshift]

The game rocks hands down!! The carbine works very well for me

[s13jus10]

my only complaint so far is about the online.

I don't know if it's just me, but this game has had NOTICEABLY better online connection then COD4. when I played COD4, I rarely had full bars. but when I play COD5, I rarely don't have full bars.

It's funny because before COD5 came out, I was thinking it would be just a solid substitute/break away from COD4. now, I'm thinking COD4 is just a solid substitute for COD5 haha. I actually haven't even TOUCHED COD4 since COD5 came out lol.

[jdshift]

I have noticed the server for the cod w.a.w. network seems somewhat overworked...........has been in the past couple of days having a hard time to connect to a game. I also noticed that stats upload pretty late. Once they get this worked out I will be ultimately happy....the game is solid none the less.

After playing COD5 online and campain and Co-Op campain I decided not to purchase it.

If any one is still rocking COD4 let me know...

i'm still rockin cod4 man hit me up anytime

[jdshift]

The zombie mode is CRAZY!! Only been able to get to level 13........the campaign was short but pretty freaking amazing. Now with a few tweaks in the online mode will be good, seems more lag than anything.

[jdshift]

As frustrating as Call of duty w.a.w. has been as of late........the zombie game has made up for it. So much strategy comes to play in that mode, me and 2 guys made it to level 18. We figured out the recepie to advance further into the massive crowds of zombies, hold the main level as long as possible until about the 8th or 9th level, stack some points, open the "help" door, 2 in the back, 1 holding the front, if we had 4 it would have made a major difference. The ray gun also is the key in the mystery box....the shotgun, chain gun, rocket launcher, flamethrower in any mix with the ray gun will destroy!!

How 2 players got to 95............ it's impossible!! I call glitch or cheat on that one. But got to level 21 last night with a new twist from our previous plan we had. Hold the main level to level 8, hold the last zombie until everybody can get into the "help" room with the mystery box as everyone is trying to get the ray gun. Luck of the draw.....sometimes it works, sometimes not. Get your ray gun and secondary weapon to have all 4 players in the room, 2 watching windows and wall, 1 holding down the doorway with a ray gun, 4th is helping as needed.

Switch players as ammo begins to get low with a ray gun at the front door.....very important. This system is very effective usually zombies will drop insta kill, max ammo, bomb to let you keep progressing through swarms of zombies. I gotta tell the guys not to try and revive a man who is down........at that point they have plenty of points to get the ray gun again, just hold it down.

What's your gamertag??

[jdshift]

jdshift........why? gametime!!??

[jdshift]

Got to level 25 in ZOMBIES!! Same point of attack.......but 4 of us got the ray gun while I held the front room with a fellow gamer holding down the side window and helping as needed...........ended up with 1100 KILLS!! 2 in back just having a walk in the park, but lack of ammo became the enemy while we tried to scramble upstairs for salvation.......no luck.

haha yeah, I actually played with one of the guys that got to level 95.. and yeah, they found out a glitch. he showed me how it's done, but I haven't done with anyone else ever since he showed me. zombie mode is way too much fun to ruin it with this glitch

jdshift, if you're interested, shoot me an invite next time you're on and I'll show you how it's done

[snwbrdr435]

Played zombie mode a couple times and just need to play it with a group. Got to wait for everyone to get w@w first tho.

[jdshift]

^^ Will do Just got to level 65 today FTW!! The flamethrower is sick now just finding the right combo's to put up numbers like I did in cod4.

Add me snwbrdr435..........gamertag is jdshift and on ps3.

*edit* 65 is the gameplay level.......not zombie for the record.
