Call of Duty: World at War

[SamuraiMoogle]

Weird that you think it's pretty much the same game, Moogle. I read that all of the guns have significant recoil now, at the least.

Well I guess the gun part is true. I still cant find a combination of weapons I really like. Other than that though, this game is Call of Duty 4-WW2


No flame throwers till level 65!

So, unlike you jerks that didn't post about the Eurogamer beta code, I'm going to be super nice!

If you guys want in on the beta, register for an account at callofduty.com. Then, follow this link: http://www.callofduty.com/beta-redee..._code=VX7PZ963 and you'll receive a beta code immediately.

I've had it since yesterday. I like stabbing the dogs when they run at me. But yea, the guns definitely have a different feel. When I first started, I played like in CoD4, it didn't work out to well. I like it. Should be worth picking it up just for the multi.

Very nice. I was interested in checking it out to see if it was decent or just more Treyarch shit.

I'm on this. Map designs are pretty shitty with lots of spawn camping, but if you got a good team around you, its do-able. Tanks seem pointless and attack dogs are fun as shit. I'll enjoy this game more when there is straight-up Domination mode to be played.

Eh, I'm not a fan of what I've seen thus far. I've enjoyed the semiautomatic weapons (SVT-40, Gewehr-43) so far, but the SMGs are a bit overpowered and the bolt-action rifles way underpowered. The spawn system is also about the worst I've ever seen; in about 40 minutes of play I've spawned directly behind enemies and spawned having them right in front of me facing me. Apparently there's even a spot on Makin where you can just stand and knife all day and the enemy will keep spawning there.

<3 Robo for hooking it up with a beta code. I'll be playing this tomorrow if anyone wants in.

[SamuraiMoogle]

I'm sure I'll be on and off Live all day. If you see my playing anything send me a invite.

Level cap's 24 now, I suppose I'd like to see what some of the new guns play like.

So I put in a good hour, and so far all I have to say is MEH. The weapons don't feel nearly as solid as they did in COD4. The 2 starting weapons I tried, Springfield & Thompson are pretty boring and not fun to use. The Springfield isn't as accurate as it should be, and the Thompson just seems very overpowered in comparison to the bolt action guns. I did get my hands on the BAR, which is definitely an improvement, but still not as fun to use as something like the M16 in COD4.

The 3 maps shown are very uninspired. In comparison 2 Crash & Overgrown which were in the COD4 demo, the Beta maps have a lot to live up to, and these just really don't. Granted I have only played around 10 games, but I am not impressed thus far. The only map I have enjoyed is the circular one with the tanks, the other two (the one on the beach, and the one in the castle) just do not seem very well designed.

Then there is the artillery strike, dogs, and spawning. Like mannerbot said, the spawning is god awful. You can spawn camp EXTREMELY easily, and you tend to be spawned in areas with a lot of action over and over. The artillery strike is extremely overpowered, lasts too long, and it killing stuff inside of buildings just isn't fair. Then the dogs while fun, are also over powered. Especially considering even the attack dogs spawn camp you in this game.

With that said, I'll be online playing this some more. Send me an invite if you decide to hop on.
