This game isn't getting enough love. Yeah, it's Treyarch making a CoD4 mod, but it's a damn good CoD4 mod.
My friend played it. Looks awesome and I can't wait to play it.
Also: Keffer Sutherland is in this.
I've been into the multiplayer since its been out. Played it for over 20 hrs and I'm at level 43. I'm loving it ! You people have perk and weapon combos you wanna talk about ? Currently I'm in love with the STG 44 and use both the apeture and long range sight depending on the map. Also got a "stealth" class with camo and a suppressed MP40. I usually play this every morning with friends so send me a message if you see me playing.
I think I may pick this up soon/maybe tomorrow. I played some CoD4 the other day and it reminded me of how much I love that style of multiplayer. The demo didn't really sell me because of the early weapon selection/perks and 3 mediocre maps. But I've heard that's nothing to worry about with the full game. Plus more zombie nazis.
You heard correct. The full game is awesome. When you buy it, look me up.
Flamethrower ....
FTMFW!
The zombie mode looks awesome, kinda like L4D.
I played this afternoon and had a ton of fun. I RAPED fuckers all day. WTF. I think the chumps are on in the afternoon. I so love the tank. Once inside every tojo seems to come after you. Just find a nice spot and pick em off when they try to bomb you. So fun. MP40 with camo perk FTW. Love them bouncing bettys too.
Done. I remember playing a few matches of War with you in the Beta. Definitely good times. I actually tried looking for it tonight at a Blockbuster since I was right near one on my way to dinner, but the assholes had a huge advertisement up for the game with it not for sale. So I'm going to try and grab it tomorrow or Friday.Quote:

So now is there online co-op too? As well, is the zombie nazi horde L4D style mode any fun?
Well, I picked the game up. As long as it's better than CoD3, which I've heard it is in every way, I'll be plenty satisfied.

COD4 is easily my most played game on the 360, and I enjoyed the beta for World at War.
I wonder when used copies will become fairly cheap? COD4 stayed expensive for quite some time.
No it didn't. I picked mine up for $40 like a month after release.
Single player so far = MEH. The sniper part was pretty awesome, but everything before that just felt kind of lifeless and I didn't really care for it (though I don't think I'm that far into it). It's obvious they put a lot of effort into the SP mode, but their delivery of the characters and story have nothing on what IW did with CoD4.
Multiplayer so far = GREAT. Well, got up to level 8. Very solid experience. All of my complaints about the Beta seem to have been alleviated, or I just am noticing them less. The guns feel solid, the map selection seems surprisingly awesome (Airfield RULES so much), and everything else feels just as great as it did in CoD4. The only thing that really still bothers me is how overpowered the dogs are. Since you can't just take them out as a team like you could the helicopter, you are stuck fighting off dogs constantly until they run out no matter how hard you try to kill them.
I'm looking forward to getting some games in with people I know, since that always makes the experience that much better. But overall, two thumbs up, Treyarch did a surprisingly fantastic job with this game and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who enjoyed CoD4's multiplayer.
I lowered the SF and the music. All of a sudden I realized as I am playing the people around me are talking and telling me a story.Quote:

I'm not playing in 5.1 and I can hear Keifer fine. The single player just hasn't gripped me like CoD4. The storyline has been meh, the transitions between chapters with the zooming vector graphics and narrative doesn't do much for me, and I could really give 2 shits about any of the characters in the game, including Keifer. And while I wouldn't call CoD4's story or narrative fantastic, it was at least effective in introducing the characters and scenarios you are around and in.
While in this one it's almost random "go take the airfield on a island against the japanese", and the next chapter, with almost zero explanation of why/how you got there "go snipe with this random russian sergeant who you know nothing about then shoehorn his death in at the end of the chapter to make you feel like you should care about him. The only reason I am going to finish the SP is because the gameplay is solid, the multiplayer is the selling point here as far as I'm concerned.
Playing this tonight. Sending invites if I see you guys.
I had no idea that was Jack Bauer.
You lie. You were playing Gears, without a mic.Quote:

Made it to level 11 on zombies with just me and my friend Luke playing. Felt good about that. My fault we fucked up, too. They took down the wall in the magic box room and I left it uncovered too long. A tip to people playing zombies is to not be shy with your grenades. They replenish every round and if you don't use them you're just wasting points.
Also take the fucking magnum if it comes up. It's essentially the ray gun with less ammo per clip (and in general). One hit kills and everything. I've found that if you open the back room, and then take the couch off of the back staircase there is a small room up there (the room by the front couch, but leave that shit covered up). You can camp with a decent team up there and go pretty far without trouble. 2 people with rayguns, someone covering the window. Hopefully someone has a magnum, or a browning too and you're ballin'.
And ditch the flame thrower at level 11. It doesn't do enough damage to warrant it after 9 or 10.
Yeah, stealth perks in this game, the hot shit. I never really used them in CoD4 but running around with a silenced sub machine gun and the not show up on enemy radar perk = wrecking fools. That and people who play in public games are TERRIBLE. Being able to go 20/10 consistently when I'm only a level 14 and have played the multi for maybe 3 hours total, very reminiscent of CoD4. I <3 it.
Dead silence was the best perk 3 in CoD4.
I don't know how I never used it. I always stuck with stopping power, deep impact, and the M16. I always wrecked people so I never had a desire to switch things up, but apparently I should have since not showing up on radar is amazing.

I'm sure it'lll pick up after Christmas.Quote:

Made it to level 17 today in zombies with only 2 guys playing. It was co-op split screen though so I don't know if it was ranked. Amazing. We came up with a strategy that just plain works. I'm confident with the right amount of luck (if everyone gets a browning or ray gun, or better) we can make it past level 23 with a full party.
This fucking game rocks!
Finished up the single player. Overall it was a solid experience, but that's mostly because of the engine and gameplay mechanics that Infinity Ward nailed down.
MUCH better than CoD3, like a million times better, but still not up to par with CoD4's SP mode. There was really only one memorable moment for me, which was in the last level where you are storming that building in Berlin. The scale in that part was pretty fucking epic. The airplane turret part was a blatant rip off of the 'eye in the sky' part of CoD4, and was literally zero fun in comparison. And I will give it to Treyarch, they made the flamethrower a lot of fun.
Now I'm going to invest some good time into the multiplayer. And I'm down to try out this Nazi Zombies shit anytime someone else wants to play. I made it to wave 7 by myself and wasn't impressed, but I feel like it could be a lot of fun with more than 1 person.
I talked it over with KB ... since he is my roommate. The Russian levels overall were better ... I thought. The American levels were only cool, cause you heard Jack Bauer tell you where to go and shit. Other than that The Russian parts were crucial.
I agree Brand ... the end level was epic.
Anyone still playing this? I'm really tempted to pick this up from BB for $35.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....&ref=39&loc=01
I beat it and I had to give it back to my friends father. I planned on picking it up after the holidays, but now that its 35 bucks ... Pick it up.
I am. If you liked CoD4 you'll most likely enjoy it a lot. Easily the best of the WW2 Call of Duty games, imo.
I'm going to pick it up. It's hard not to given the price and considering it hasn't been out that long. Knowing you ballers are still playing sealed the deal.
DON'T DO IT! LITTLE CHARACTERS!Quote:

I still stand by the idea that multi in this is better than in CoD 4
Why do you think the multi in WAW is better than CoD4? If true I might pick it up for $35, but I didn't exactly think too highly of the beta.
Jesus.... I'm gonna be like Cap on this one. If Sinista picks it up, I will.
But lke Brand said.... the characters in this one might give me an edge.
1. Random grenade kills are way down.Quote:

I will warn you; however, at first the re-spawning and some of the levels with tanks may aggravate the hell out of you.
You are correct. Maps and weapons have much more variety. Just ranked out at 65 this week. It was more difficult yet more rewarding than COD 4. The flamethrower is fun but (thankfully) not the uber weapon I thought it would be. For me, that weapon is still the FG 42 with stopping power .Quote:

Also, the actual maps in the game are of a MUCH higher quality than the 3 in the beta. The weapons are more interesting as well. You don't get instantly awesome guns right off the bat like you did in COD 4. You actually have to earn them and that was a nice touch. There was a sense of accomplishment when you got a good gun, not like COD 4 which I stick with the AK 47 or the M60 the whole time. Here, you gotta try and learn different guns.Quote:

Also the guy from 24 says "out-fucking-standing" when you win and your arms and legs and sometimes your torso get blown off...Which counts for something :)

I don't get why you insisted on quoting Deewtaei. He's completely wrong. It's not "the spawning will aggravate you at first", it's "the spawning will not stop annoying the shit out of you because it really is terrible".Quote:

It definitely has a pattern thats very appparent on little maps as well, so if you're playing Domination, you usually know where the opposite team is going to be spawned next so its easy to rape a team once they lose all the flags. Its definitely the game's biggest flaw and I doubt it gets fixed. After a while, you don't really notice it and adapt to it. I still wanna beat a team in Dom 200-0 like we did on COD4 Crash. I doubt that'll ever happen again. Dome would be the easiest place to do that I'm sure.
EvilMog and I joined a Headquarters game where we were on the losing side of a 240-0 match. We ending up winning 250-240. LOL at the other team.Quote:

Some random thoughts:
1)Nazi Zombie is full of all kinds of win. with 4 people it's the beez' knees.
2)But right now, I am going through a very, very, very, very, V---E---R---Y serious and unhealthy Team Deathmatch addiction!
I seriously can't stop playing it. I suck at it(Fucking kn00bs with their Juggernut+martydom bullshit.) and my K/D ratio is nothing short of laughable, but perhaps that's the reason why I keep cumming back to it. To get better. Right now I'm at lvl 55 1st Prestige. MG42+Double Tap = rape.
3)The knife combat in this game is very VERY suspect! I'd be in a close quarters knife fight with some clown, and it would show my knife literally penetrate his body, and it would even make the "juke" stabbing sound.....and yet, he winds up stabbing ME! If I had a dollar for every time this happens I'd be a trillionaire!
4)Same with gunfights....I'd be in a gunfight with some other knucklehead....we'd be facing each other blasting away, but I CLEARLY opened fire first, yet I'm the one who goes down! The fuck's up with that shit? I don't know, it must be lag but it gets very very annoying!
Perhaps the PC version's got better hit detection? I'm almost ready to stop playing the 360 version because of this garbage.
5)Most of the maps are very good, but Seelow and Outskirts are way way WAAAAAY too fucking big for their own good. With only 6on6 max, those stages make for a very boring game, especially with the amount of shitty camping going on in houses. Take those two maps(along with the dogs) out of W@W and you got a nearly perfect game.
Despite all that, I am in love with the game. I seriously need to check into Team Deathmatch rehab....it's simply addicting on an unhealthy level.
Right now I've got somewhere around 5700 kills/13,000 deaths :lol:
Uh, welcome to online gaming?

Yes, this is bullshit. I played a SHITLOAD of Cod4 online and something is seriously messed up with this game. Theres no way I can get 60+ kills one game then the next game against the same team only get 10 kills. Theres some strange lag shit going on.Quote:

I'll give you the knifing though, they fucked that one up compared to COD4, which knifing was spot on,detection-wise.Quote:

You're either spraying all over (shooting from the hip) or he has a way better gun than you. Never get in to a direct firefight with someone who has a browning or a deployable. And don't hide behind walls, either. They can shoot through them. You can usually tell who has a good gun by how loud it sounds. A browning is hard to mistake.Quote:

Those maps are for sniping. There are some very talented sniping players in this game. And the maps aren't as open as you'd think. Pretty much anything up the middle of that map is a dead zone. Good luck waltzing through it on hardcore without a bullet through your face.Quote:

Thanks for the replies guys you raise some very good points. My game is improving everyday and It's starting to dawn on me that my complaints have more to do with me simply not being that good at aiming, reacting and camera movement yet. Still gotta work on those crucial factors but I'm getting there :)
Now.....I have a question I'm hoping you can answer for me:
I would like to know which version of this game has more people playing late at night...the Xbox 360 or PC version?
The reason I'm asking is because I want to be able to find multiplayer games with good ping late at night like around 1 or 2AM when most people are asleep, and was curious whether my chances of finding a low ping sever in my local during area during those hours are better on the PC version or on the 360 version? Ditto with Modern Warfare?
Isamu, It'll always be easier to find a low lag game on PC since the lobby is done in "PC style" showing the ping and such. 360 is hit or miss. There are more people playing on Xbox than Pc, I'm sure, but you'd prolly have a better experience on PC. I play console for 2 specific reasons: 1) My friends all play on console and 2) I LOVE talking shit on people in the lobby due to it having a party system. I had COD4 for both platforms and enjoyed them on both. If I had more folks on PC , I'd have the PC version as well. As is, most people play WoW 'cept for a few hardcore TF2 and BF2 players :(
Anyone up for some 4player competitive co-op late tonight, or sometime tomorrow?
I haven't played that yet, and heard it's pretty good. Plus I need the achievements.
I'm up for some competitive co op but not tonight, unfortunately.
So after Ogcritic, Biff, and Advocate left I stayed and played one more game with Neowagz. I got in a tank and raped fools. 25 kills 3 deaths. You guys missed a good one.
MY RATIO!!! I was in a bad slump, and couldn't risk fucking up my ratio. It's so important to me...
I wasn't feeling it tonight. I was more of a hindrance than a help.
Nah, a hindrance is someone you don't know who isn't a team player. It was fun having everyone there.Quote:

o crap thats rilly smart!!!
The Magnum is serious bizness.
The Knife is seriously laggy.
I finally got my copy for Christmas. Respawning near an enemy aside, I like this better than COD4. Even if they are bigger maps something just seems right about the whole gameplay.
The best thing about World at War is the guns. It makes going up in levels totally worth it. Even once I hit level 55 in COD4, I'd still use the m16 with red dot site.
Game of the year imo.
Considering that I only played 2 games that were releases in 2008, I'd have to agree.
As much as I grew to hate COD 4, I am actually thinking about giving this one a shot now that the disappointment of Gears 2 is starting to sink in.
For those who played COD 2 multiplayer (which was my favorite in the series), how would you say this game compares?
I always liked COD 2 because it had a slower pace to it and the weapons had crazy recoil that kept people from being able to run around and Rambo people without even bothering to aim.
This is CoD4+1/2.Quote:

The guns are slightly more balanced than 4. I honestly feel as though they have more recoil too, but I haven't played 4 in a while and when I did I just used the m16.
It's fun, but if you only liked CoD2 then you this one won't satisfy you.
With that said, I'm having so much fun with this game.
What what? Fuck no. Maybe game of the year online because this year really sucked hard for the online games. But overall game of the year? No wayQuote:
