CoD:WaW Reviews?

[cawblen]

I haven't seen any as yet.

[jacob.armitage]

Gamedaily (http://www.gamedaily.com/games/call-of-duty-world-at-war/xbox-360/game-reviews/review/7264/2186/) is the only one i have found so far.

Call of Duty: World At War needs better character development and more "oh my God" moments. However, it's still a terrific first-person shooter. The combat is tight, the presentation shines and the multiplayer, particularly Nazi Zombie mode and co-op campaign, will keep you blasting enemy soldiers for weeks.

a respectable, and probably quite expected 8 out of 10.

[Orca]

Reviews should be coming up any time now - the embargo is done.

[OldJadedGamer]

Gamepro gave it 4.5/5 but then again, what game *doesn't* get that score from them?

[Kelegacy]

If it was anything but WW2, I'd be excited. But I'm not.

Man, I've been burned out on that war. Gimme something new.

[Mastergeo7]

It's not as epic as COD4, the story is kinda disjointed but still it's a pretty solid game.
The flamethrower kicks ass, Zombie mode it's pretty fun as well as competitive Coop!

Also if you hated COD4, this is a WW2 carbon copy of it and I REALLY mean that

Sniper scene: Check
Bombardment Scene: Check
A Main Char gets Killed: Check
You almost die at the end: Check
And so on...

[Orca]

It's not as good as CoD4, but who's not sick to death of playing CoD4 by this point? I know I am - well was, months ago.

If IW had supported their game with even a half-decent amount of DLC additions, it'd make this one pointless. As it is, I can't imagine putting in CoD4 for multiplayer now instead of CoD5 (which it is, don't get me started on the numbering/not numbering thing).

You should give me your copy of CoD4 (or sell it for cheap).

[rinichanraar]

I preordered this, but haven't picked it up yet. Despite it being a bunch of WW2 action, I'm looking forward to it. I hope it's as enjoyable as CoD4 was.

I just realized I got halfway through CoD4 on Veteran and forgot to finish it. Oops.

[pseudopseudo]

Ha! Me too. I've actually been thinking of throwing it in and attempting to finish it lately. For me, Veteran just seems SO MUCH HARDER than normal. Exponentially, even.

[rinichanraar]

I agree. I feel like a big wimp when I play on Veteran because I have to be really careful and be under cover all the time or else it's like auto-death. (Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong!)

[scythe]

GameTrailers' (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/42153.html) review is up.

[OldJadedGamer]

IGN gave it a 9.2

[cawblen]

just bought my copy but i refuse to unwrap it until Dec. 19th...if i open the game before this date i could as well piss my MSc. down the drain lol

don't worry...i'll enjoy playing catch up in MP!

[wyeast]

I got your back, DangerChan. :D

(read as: "I'll run around like a dork and draw their fire while you run to the goal line") :o ;)

The veteran thing - you're not doing it wrong. Some of those levels were virtually broken at that difficulty setting. Running through the missile silos? That level was like 99% luck if you even survived it. :mad:

Aw, thanks! :) I keep seeing you on LIVE playing the WaW beta, by the way. How are you liking it? (I guess it's kind of a lame question now that the actual game has come out. I should probably go pick it up soon. :p)

aww man, i guess most people round these parts will be picking it up on 360...

anyone picking this up for ps3?

[BLeeP]

The WW2 setting doesn't really interest me whatsoever (only WW2 shooter I ever really enjoyed that wasn't Wolfenstein would probably be Medal of Honor 1), and I find it hard to get excited over what is being called a carbon copy of Call of Duty 4. I played the multi in CoD 4 quite a bit, but then I noticed all of these problems that it had and I just couldn't play it for long stints anymore. Actually, I guess it was one problem, and that problem would be: Guy is shooting at me, I dive behind a building and then I die. Then, on the kill cam, you see that I stood there smiling while he blew me away.

It just got to be too much BS.

I do want to try Zombie Nazi mode, though 8-(.

[OldJadedGamer]

IGN has their 360 review up but not the review for the PS3 version. Maybe they just didn't get it in time... who knows.

I liked it ok. (but bear in mind I liked CoD4 already) :o I did have a few dislikes, however...

Gun Balance

With the absence of assault rifles, sniping has become a bit more prevalent. Granted, it's still a bit tough to snipe since it was built that way in the MW engine, but without a really good way to provide suppressing fire over a distance, they kinda shoot at you with impunity. It's not awful, but it does give me a little flashback to CoD2/3 where no-scope sniping was rampant. I started to get into a rhythm with the MP40 and G43 so it was alright I guess. :o

Damn Dogs

Dogs are annoying as crap. I suppose it's a bit of a tradeoff w/ artillery being relatively survivable compared to MW's airstrikes, but the double whammy of having kills count towards the next lap (if the person dies before the dogs are done) makes it too easy for a conga line of dogs to develop. One or two you can handle ok if you pay attention. Beyond that is harder to manage. Compared to helicopters which were usually pretty beatable with a coordinated team.

@#$@$ Spawns

Just like CoD4, you spawn next to your teammates. This opens up the same reverse spawncamping jackassery that was rampant in HQ on MW. Except this time it's HQ and War modes. Getting my ass handed to me, fine. Whatever. I know I'm not that good and losses happen. But do I really need to suffer an extra 50 deaths just because they feel like being dicks about it just so they can pad their K/D?

Vehicle Balance

I'm still suspicious of vehicles and how they can upset the game balance. Particularly since you can potentially have one team holding onto both tanks on the map. (actually not that hard to pull off) Most of the time it takes at least two guys to take one down, so having both tanks means you've tied up 4 of 6 on their team, while you have guys on foot shanking them while they're trying to line up a shot.

But overall I'm optimistic. Like I said, I enjoyed CoD4's MP for the most part, and the 360 community for that game has dwindled to mostly the hardcore players... making it harder and also spiking the frequency of running into teams who take it way too seriously and feel the need to constantly give you shit for being a pussy and not prestiging often enough.

And I'm really looking forward to the Co-op. I'm hoping it brings some real squad tactics into the game vs "OMGWTF rush to the trigger point to stop these guys pouring out of the doorway". :p

Also, at the end of the beta I was looking over various stats to see how I did, and noticed the # of kills I had for TDM. :eek: :D

[Rakael]

Meh, WWII.

Didn't they learn their lesson from the MASSIVELY popular CoD4?

[cp#]

This game has already been available for a couple of days. My friend got a copy on Sunday and there were already several thousand people playing online (full version, not the beta). 30k online last night in hardcore deathmatch and the release was today?

[Sl1pstream]

As it looks like the multiplayer is nothing more than a total conversion, I can see myself playing CoD4 until IW releases their next title. I don't see myself spending € 60 on a title I already own. Sure, there's singleplayer, but I don't buy a CoD title for the singleplayer mode.

The only good points for COD5 are the extra multiplayer modes.If IW adds a Zombie mode and a Coop mode (Online and Offline) for COD4, you got pure win there.

Plus, based on all the reviews I've read it seems that the singleplayer is a letdown when compared with COD4. That was going to be my reason to buy, exactly for the reasons you stated: it seems like a COD4 WWII mod.

I'll wait for COD6... wasn't it rumoured to be set in the future?

[jacob.armitage]

Meh, WWII.

Didn't they learn their lesson from the MASSIVELY popular CoD4?

They where saying that the development of this title started quite a bit before the launch of CoD4 and how positive the response was for it. They had already gone through pre-production. chosen a theatre of war, chosen to have a large emphasis on co-op and designed the progression of the game. There was a great interview on GTTV about it.

[Virtual Machine]

*FACT*
Anyone who plays both and thinks the single-player was better in COD 4 is smoking BAD CRACK.

And that's one to grow on.

I was going to ask does anyone actually still play COD for the single player...I know some do...but i'm getting asked by others to play so they can play online. I rarely ever hear anyone talk about the single player.

For some reason, this reminded me of the old "say not to drugs" ads of "this is your brain on..." just replacing drugs with "...COD5"...

[BLeeP]

Actually, Call of Duty 4 had a great single player, and was probably one of the best single player experiences to be found in a modern FPS.

[Krispy]

I haven't played CoD5 yet, but this is the truth.

Loved the first half, hated most of the second. The middle eastern stuff was the most impressive to me, and goddamn that was impressive. So i liked roughly 2-3 of the 4-5 hours total it took to beat the damn game.

Though to be perfectly fair, i hear the new one is roughly the same length, which is hugely disappointing to me after the marathon lengths of CoD: Big Red One (where the Normandy level alone took me over half as long as the entirety of CoD 2: IW) or CoD 3.

My biggest problem with Call of Duty 4, and bare with me here, it's early, i haven't had my coffee yet:

The Call of Duty series, when mired in World War II, was all about realism, and acting as a sort of monument in video game form to the battles fought by the US and her Allies. They focused on fictional characters in a non-fictional war. The same approach could have been Taken with Call of Duty 4, Instead they went with that lame assed Tom Clancy, "We Vill Destroy the Amerikenz and resurrect ze Motherland! Come my Iraqi Friend! We will be known as the Golden brotherhood of the peoples army Jihad! LAUNCH THE NUKES!"

It took a series that was about as reverent as a video game could be to the soldiers of the world (without being Brothers in Arms), and turned it into an action movie.

What would I have done? Start with a nice setpiece, maybe US in Desert Storm '01, night time, with burning oil fields and what not. Skip ahead to Bosnia/Kosovo with some UN Peacekeepers, A "Black Hawk Down" level in Mogadishu (tell me a nice lengthly level fighting through a violent city as the sun sets wouldn't be awesome). Finish it up with Canadian/British peacekeepers in Afghanistan and the Iraq invasion. Hell, if time permits, throw some Rwanda in there. Keep it real.

Why does everything have to be so steeped in reality?

I think the whole reason lots of people liked the storyline of CoD4 is because of the reason you just stated - it plays and feels more like an action movie. Why restrain yourself to real events? Fictional ones are way more interesting.

[biosc1]

Skip ahead to Bosnia/Kosovo with some UN Peacekeepers

Right..that would be a fun level. It would start with:

"Okay troops, no firing of your weapons". You would then spend the level sitting in one spot, dodging pot shots.

Then it would move on to:

"Okay, you may fire if fired upon." You would sit in one spot, dodging pot shots and occasionally firing back, while getting heck from the media at home about how you are no longer a peace keeping force because you are actively firing your weapon.

Hell, if time permits, throw some Rwanda in there. Keep it real.

I know a couple of guys who served there...yah, I don't think we want a level on that.


Give me realistic warfare without the realism, if that makes sense. I want to be entertained. I don't want to learn my history from a video game.

[Wilkz07]

Not too impressed with the solo campaign. It has the 'been there done that 3 CoD's ago'. Switching between Russian and US is still tolerable and the cutscenes are.. interesting. Overall I would only buy this game for co-op and mp. Playing on Normal and being surrounded by grenade indicators every couple of steps isn't my idea of a fun shooter. Plus, if you know your history you know what happens... at least with CoD4 it was a fresh, i'm excited to see what happens next story.

I do love my Story-mode fps but call me when it goes back to Modern Warfare.

[OldJadedGamer]

I got the game, did some small single player and did some small multiplayer. Will do some co-op tonight when more of my friends buy the game.

Btw, MAJOR suckage for the game... you can't play Hardcore until you reach level 18. Until then, you have to eat at the kiddie table of horrible TDM. Bad decision not letting you play with the adults right the beginning.

[Goronmon]

Ha! Me too. I've actually been thinking of throwing it in and attempting to finish it lately. For me, Veteran just seems SO MUCH HARDER than normal. Exponentially, even.I bitched about Veteran endlessly when CoD4 released since I started the campaign on Veteran. The most annoying things were the enemies that always knew exactly where you were and were capable of throwing grenades at your feet from anywhere in groups of 2 or more.

I did manage to complete the game. I even was somehow able to complete the bonus airplane level at the end, where I think you only have 60 seconds to complete it and the enemies are just as hard as the normal campaign and more prevalent. That level alone took hours of tries.

[wyeast]

Can't play much of anything in MP until lvl 14. I got out of the kiddie table at 11 and now I'm stuck in TDM for a while.

Also, Downfall is too small of a map for 4 tanks. I spawned into a match where the other team had like 3 of the tanks and had our whole team bottled up inside a building in one corner, blasting the shit out of it while we die repeatedly. :mad: :mad: :mad:

With smoke and extreme cond. I was able to break out with two tanks on my tail - but it was way too late to swing the tide. :(

kiddie table exactly. i joined a competitive co-op and i'm pretty sure the 3 others on my team were 12 or younger. quit after i got the co-op achievement and had muted all of their shrill-cry voices.

[Zero]

I was going to ask does anyone actually still play COD for the single player...I know some do...but i'm getting asked by others to play so they can play online. I rarely ever hear anyone talk about the single player.



CoD4 was the best game I played in '07 and I played maybe 3 or 4 matches of it's multiplayer modes.

[rinichanraar]

I thought the CoD4 campaign was fantastic. Gameplay was a lot of fun, and I actually felt slightly emotional at the end.

I completely forgot until now that World at War has co-op. Apparently, there are a ton of solo-only achievements.

To some, sure. What i always liked about the series, and Medal of Honor (until those Nazi Storm bastards... and European Assault in general) was it's balance of realism and typical video game-y behavior. If everything was based on real conflict before now, why change that? I liked that approach, i thought it felt a little classier.

To Telefrog - poor choice of words on my part. A better choice of words would be that Call of Duty (and Medal of Honor before it) attempted to educate, as much as a game can, or somehow get across some impression of what veterens accomplished. It's only a video game, sure, but it always felt respectful. CoD 4 felt more like the "lite" version.

No sweat, man. It's not like I'm some crazy warhawk vet with stars & bars blood. I just thought it was funny that "reverent" was used to describe such an obviously commerical entertainment product. :D

[Rakael]

Hell, I loved the CoD4 campaign, and the MP owned my soul for quite some time. I'm also sick to death of WWII games. We have been there and done that about a thousand times already. Nam, there is a war that has some awesome stories to tell. Korea, The Forgotten War also has great stories to tell. WWI could be pretty cool also if done right. I just wish devs would get over their infatuation with WWII.

[wyeast]

I completely forgot until now that World at War has co-op. Apparently, there are a ton of solo-only achievements.
Just like CoD4, all the achievements are campaign-only. About 1/3 are co-op-able, the rest are solo-only. As mentioned before, I already have 4 playing co-op and there appears to be about 10 more that are achievable w/o going solo only.

(although suspicions are the two secret achievements are prestige once, and 10 times, so they may not count)

[Mastergeo7]

I want an alternative reality COD with Zombies in the European theater. Not a Wolfenstein, more like an outbreak in the middle of the war.

Nazi scientists gone mad that kind of stuff ;)

[wyeast]

Finish the campaign to unlock the zombie mode? :eek: :D

[Mastergeo7]

Finish the campaign to unlock the zombie mode? :eek: :D

Well that's why I'm asking for a full campaign about zombies and such! Not just a 'Zombie Horde Mode'

[pomeroy]

I thought the CoD4 campaign was fantastic. Gameplay was a lot of fun, and I actually felt slightly emotional at the end.

I did, too. But I'm just not sure if I'm going to actually buy another CoD. The campaign is only fun once, for me...and I suck ass at the multiplayer.

[wyeast]

Ah, I see your point. :D

[OldJadedGamer]

The more I play, the more I see it's not that bad. It's defiantly COD4.5 though.

[Deadend]

I gave up on the 2nd level on easy. I don't like that the japanese soldiers can melee 1-hit kill me like the dogs in CoD 4. Fuck that shit, I don't enjoy the guns either.

You got to fight them off and stab them in the neck... and get your achievement for it ;)

[biosc1]

How's split-screen co-op? Anyone try it out? Any issues?

[Kielaran]

i didnt see another thread on the game, so I guess I will put this here:

COMMUNITY GAMERTAG ALERT:

Add CoGWaW so you can use Friends of Friends and find other Coggers to play with.

[rinichanraar]

How's split-screen co-op? Anyone try it out? Any issues?

I tried it for about five minutes on accident. I was trying to play splitscreen Nazi Zombie mode (it's actually called that in the game, haha), and I accidentally started the co-op campaign instead, so we ran with it for a couple of minutes because my partner hadn't tried it yet, then quickly went back to Nazi Zombies. Co-op was fine and all... nothing too notable though.

I'm guessing that there's at least one part in the co-op campaign where you're prompted to split up (similarly to the way Gears does it), but I'm not sure. I just got that impression because there's a part in the solo campaign where the objective told me I could either go left or right to do something.

Anyway, is anyone up for killing Nazi Zombies? I only have one person on my friends list who I ever see playing CoD: WaW (wyeast!), and whenever he's playing, I'm usually playing something else.

[wyeast]

You're not actually prompted to split up, but there are a couple of situations where you have some opportunity to split up. (the last half of the pelilu campaign comes to mind - there's a couple of back-routes that are available assaulting the mortar pits - also, I tend to rain mortar shells while my buddies are busy making the main assault. :D) However, the heal-your-fallen-comrade aspect kinda makes you keep close tabs on each other, so one person really shouldn't go rogue and run off by themselves trying to flank. Otherwise it's pretty much the same missions as solo, just with more buddies to chat with and go "WHOA, DID YOU SEE THAT TREE BURST INTO FLAME?!?" :eek: :D

You also lose a couple of the obvious solo-only missions like your favorite evening with Gentlemen Oldman/Resnov. Also you don't get the Black Cats mission. But the rest are pretty much straight-up playable. It also seems like they scale up the difficulty to compensate for having more guys on your side... I've heard that it also takes your XP into account, but I don't know that for sure.

I'm surprised you're having a tough time finding people to go shoot up teh zombahs. I figured people were more interested in that then playing straight up MP. Feel free to gimme a holler, I can try to drag some of my other friends along, too. :) I mean, not that I wouldn't be a proper greedy otaku and try to have you all for myself, but it is zombies and more warm gun-toting bodies the better. :D

Less Oldman?! Sacrilege! I'm glad I went solo then!

You know, I thought the Black Cats mission could potentially be pretty cool with two people, but I can see why they'd remove it. Partners would probably run into each other too much since there's not very much space... but it'd be kind of fun to run by each other when switching positions. :D

Well, I think the main problem is that I don't have very many friends who own the game. I could probably find a random team online or something, but I think it'd be more fun with people I know. So far, I've only played it locally with a friend, and we were only able to get up to wave 11 together. I imagine it'd be way easier with a bigger party.

I actually tried to play it alone before my friend dropped by the other night, and I only got to wave 4 or 5, but I maybe would have been able to go farther if I'd "paid the movers" (moved the couch that led upstairs). I kept getting freaked out by the reloading animation... I kept thinking my huge hand was a zombie. So lame. :p

[Wilkz07]

Played with my first Glitch Exploiter today. He used the wall glitch in Castle to go 32/0 kills. Good times. After i realized what was going on I stayed out of that area as did most other people.

Ahhh the joys of spending $64 on a game to play under the map.

Tell me you reported him, at least. Hell, you have evidence right there!

[OldJadedGamer]

It's really stupid for people to do this outside of Hardcore since everyone can see what you are doing on the killcam... but yes. Report him.

yeah i reported him, as did everyone who passed through that area. I usually skip the kill cam but when i heard teammates screaming about a glitcher i watched them all. then just stayed out of the area. I admit i did go back to where he was just so he would shoot me and i could get a picture.

most of the matches i played last night someone on team said if there was a glitch exploiter and where he was so we just didn't go in that area.

hopefully things get fixed if they can.

I wonder if Treyarch will support WaW after release. This needs to get fixed, as well as some other issues. If you play hardcore war, you know that Upheaval is in the rotation WAY too much. The dogs can glitch themselves, too - I've seen them kill teammates through walls, change direction in midair, "hover" straight up a 6-7 foot wall, etc.

The game's been out about a month now, hasn't it? I'm curious to see if they address any of this.

I'll keep playing WaW because my friends are playing it. But it really just points out how good CoD4 was. The overall lack of polish on WaW shows me that Treyarch really shouldn't be allowed to have the reins to this title. CoD4 had its problems, and that Treyarch didn't fix these AND added some new ones is disappointing to me.

definately needs to be fixed. i'll keep playing mp to work on the challenges and hopefully other players will point out glitchers so i can steer clear. co-op has been tons of fun though. nothing like exploding heads.

As much as it pisses me off, that shit is fun to watch. My brother got raped by a dog that flew around a corner the other day. FLEW AROUND A CORNER.

Anyway, is anyone up for killing Nazi Zombies? I only have one person on my friends list who I ever see playing CoD: WaW (wyeast!), and whenever he's playing, I'm usually playing something else.

EvoG, Aggort, and I finally got around to all playing together last night on TDM and War. It was nice to finally play some MP on this. I know any of us would be up for some Nazi Zombies. I think I have you on my friends list now. Just shoot me an invite.
