Yet for some reason the gaming "journalist" who reviewed this game deducted points from the overall score for familiarity? So should Modern Warfare 2 be deducted points for familiarity?
This game is actually amazing! Its the most underrated call of duty ever. Have one of the best campaigns in the franchise and is quiet long!! Quiet emocional. Great graphics even today look amazing. Soundtrack is amazing, Vietnam setting looks awesome to. The multiplayer is so fun, one of the killing streaks is sending dogs after someone haha! So cute and funny to see that!
I'm a sucker for any FPS, and WaW honestly has the most addictive multiplayer ever. Modern Warfare 2 was great, but me and alot of my friends are already moving on to new games. Lets be honest though. Both WaW and MW2 are copies of Modern Warfare, except WaW was a bit more original in terms of creativity (NAZI ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
World at War had an awesome single player and multiplayer is just amazing. The maps on 18 players is just more instense and epic than COD 4. The gun sounds and the variety of guns make World at War to me a better game. Also COD4 was more like a shooting gallery than an experience. Guns all fired too similar and when the battle did heat up the gun fights got really boring and dull. COD:WoW was more intense and the multiplayer battles are more satisfying. Thumbs up to Treyarch for delivering.
hey i got a question um im thinking of getting both cod 4 and cod waw and im new to the cod series is it true that all the people that played online on the 360 who played cod 4 online don't play cod 4 anymore becuase of cod waw so does that mean that there are barely any people playing cod4?
All three games were mature. MW1 had some shocking moments but they were few and far between (the execution of Al-Fulani, Victor Zakhaev's suicide, Al-Asad's death etc), WaW obviously had the dismemberment feature which made the game feel a lot more violent and brutal (even though that at some points the campaign felt more like Vietnam than WW2) and MW2 had the airport mission, the deaths of Roach and Ghost and the Russian occupation of the United States of America.
@FabioPTv OMG i totally agree with you. People are obssesed with MW but i think this is a better game overall. The fact that you know that the events you're playing actually happened gives you a different feel than playing a fictional campaign.
i have never owned a cod game and i asked my friend what is best for begginers and he said cod 4(modern warfare) or cod world at war. i have played cod games but never owned. so which ones better, cod 4, or cod waw?
Never understood all the Hate against WaW. What a highly underrated Game. Just because all the Kids dont like WW2-weapons doesnt mean this Game is bad. In my opinion, WaW is far better than Modern Warfare 1.
When we see a review similar to this, in other words talking about how the setting has gotten a bit stale, we can expect a switch in FPS games lol. It was cool seing this review.
I reached my limit on playing the same shit over and over on CoD4 a few months back....actually, when BF:BC came out. Even if W@W comes across only as some sorta alternative expansion on 4 isn't that a positive for the series if it's keeping people interested?.
It's a good game, i haven't completed the campaign. The multiplayer was fun, but after a month or so i got bored. There is a free multiplayer trial on xbox live (not sure if ps3 does it). You can download it and try it and see if it's worth the money
I like the story better, and the online i found was better as well. Although i doubt a lot of people would be playing them. There would most likely be more people on COD4 than WAW. But if they are $10 i recommend you get them both
my friend has this game and the first level just when your a P.O.W. and seeing another soldier getting killed its hard to see. I mean its a game but alot of the material these games used was from actual soldiers input. I just hope most of the gamers realize this is a game and war is not a fun thing. I don't believe in banning such things @ all, but people definetly need to establish whats reality and whats games.
I have an important question: In the pc version, I know it has online, but can you also play nazi zombies and campaign with people online?? please reply. Thanks
i agree but it was the publishers choice so...BLAME IT ON THEM!! they thought the WW2 shooter market was gettin old so they made infinity ward make a modern game... i still luv it though
Cod 4 i personally think was a million times better. there was a lot of hype behind this game before it came out and it didn't live up to cod 4's standards(because thats almost impossible :)). the guns in cod4 are somewhat more balanced out(other than the m16) than in cod 5 where no matter what or who you are playing, everyone is using an mp40. it's unbelievable more overpowered then any other gun which takes a lot of the fun out. i sold back cod 5 because it didn't live up to cod 4 in any way.
all call of duty games r great though... except maybe 3 but all call of duty games n i have never been disppointed of any cod game cause i cant get enough
So to me the most unrealistic part of this game was playing on anything other than normal difficulty, is the enemy carrying backpack solely filled with grenades? I mean, what are there guys eating?
Not to necropost but every soldier usually carried with them one or two grenades, so the abundance makes plenty sense when you consider the amount of soldiers you fight.
ever since cod 4 came out.....people just forget that call of duty started out with WWII games..........people r always like i like modern warfare more....and it pisses me off, cuz call of duty was originally just WWII games.......really i think they should just keep making WWII games
i know BO is gory but only in SP which is a pain in the ass. In WAW you throw a grenade in some person's legs they blow up this was in SP and MP. But in BO it's only in SP :(
if you are trying to decide between 4 and 5... ask yourself this... do i like fighting in the current age, or am i interested in the rich history of WWII? i like WWII history so i bought cod 5, but i will probably get MW2
its not the time period tht bugs me with this game, its the multiplayer balancing if they got the balancing right, this game wud have been alot better then cod 4
Originally it was only available after the campaign but after they released dlc with zombie maps in it they knew not everyone played the campaign so wouldn't be able to play the new mwps so they changed it so everyone could play it
+Jack Lee you are correct, I remember when a friend told me about zombies, and I didn't believe him, and he invited me to a game, and I was shocked and amazed at the same time
@manvir255 A game about WW1 would be terrible. The only thing the soldiers did was sitting in trenches and the weapon that killed most soldiers was artillery fire...
@homerun0508 well i'd say cod4. but really the multiplayer is built the same its just different time periods. i said cod4 cuz i feel more people play that nowadays. i have black ops but sometimes i feel like going back to world at war and theres about 11,000 people on average. not very much. only games i get into are team deathmatch, free for all, and search. other game modes i have to wait till about 3 in the afternoon. but yeah play cod4
Guys guys who gives a fuck if this is World War 2? I'm actually GLAD it is, because now I have an awesome game that I can keep as my World War 2 classic. Think about COD 4 and MW2 just have bullshit made up stories but this thing is REAL ( u know with a little fiction in only the weapons). This is probably the only COD that has a good campaign I mean even in the review they say it's touching. And Black Ops is getting this Nazi Zombie mode for limited edition. This game is gonna be a classic!
It is funny watching this video now is kind of funny because the video game industry is full of modern shooters now and there are rarely world war 2 shooters...Btw WHY ARE THERE NO WW1 GAMES!?
I have, it's worth it. The single player gameplay is excellent. The co-op is excellent. The Zombie thingo is excellent. The multiplayer has MORE than CoD4. The violence is better. The only difference is you can't custom the camo on your gun. Who cares?. The downside of W@W is that it's TOO similar with the online gameplay. It feels like it's lacking something there. For the extras, I'd give it a better rating than 4. You played it?.
"world at war has pretty much copied modern warfare... " - Gamespot. I think it was the same thing different time period. I enjoyed the game and loved the nazi zoombies!.
my favorite call of duty game of all time i would choose this one over the latest cod anytime and yes i love it that much
Do people still play this online
Yup
I used to love it until it got plagued with mods
it is unfortunate
Yet for some reason the gaming "journalist" who reviewed this game deducted points from the overall score for familiarity? So should Modern Warfare 2 be deducted points for familiarity?
This game is actually amazing! Its the most underrated call of duty ever. Have one of the best campaigns in the franchise and is quiet long!! Quiet emocional. Great graphics even today look amazing. Soundtrack is amazing, Vietnam setting looks awesome to. The multiplayer is so fun, one of the killing streaks is sending dogs after someone haha! So cute and funny to see that!
+HéLio RoDriGueS Channel finally a sane person
I completely agree this is the best cod ever
the missions in this game have so good intros
I enjoyed seeing ww2 footage. it was interesting to watch.
@EoinJG10 Thanks a lot, btw do you think the game is worth $43 cause I think I'm gonna buy it :D
Need to lose the Exo Suits and go back to this. (Minus the tanks, of course.)
lol, really. if you didnt want the tanks you just play S&D
If you move from cod 3, straight into world at war, the experience is much better. As opposed to moving from advanced warfare onto world at war.
I'm a sucker for any FPS, and WaW honestly has the most addictive multiplayer ever. Modern Warfare 2 was great, but me and alot of my friends are already moving on to new games. Lets be honest though. Both WaW and MW2 are copies of Modern Warfare, except WaW was a bit more original in terms of creativity (NAZI ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Thumbs up to Treyarch for delivering.
@UndeadHydralisk lol did you get that from machinima
Best cod I've ever played.
hey i got a question um im thinking of getting both cod 4 and cod waw and im new to the cod series is it true that all the people that played online on the 360 who played cod 4 online don't play cod 4 anymore becuase of cod waw so does that mean that there are barely any people playing cod4?
World at War is the best COD ever made.
The Black Ops level in Khe Sanh happened in real life and Call of Duty 1, 2 and 3 were based off real events as well.
what do you think about homefront?
@Youngballer360 1 is best or 1 is worst?
All three games were mature. MW1 had some shocking moments but they were few and far between (the execution of Al-Fulani, Victor Zakhaev's suicide, Al-Asad's death etc), WaW obviously had the dismemberment feature which made the game feel a lot more violent and brutal (even though that at some points the campaign felt more like Vietnam than WW2) and MW2 had the airport mission, the deaths of Roach and Ghost and the Russian occupation of the United States of America.
did it outsell counter strike source?
@FabioPTv OMG i totally agree with you. People are obssesed with MW but i think this is a better game overall. The fact that you know that the events you're playing actually happened gives you a different feel than playing a fictional campaign.
i have never owned a cod game and i asked my friend what is best for begginers and he said cod 4(modern warfare) or cod world at war. i have played cod games but never owned. so which ones better, cod 4, or cod waw?
One reason is because of World War II.... the horrors will never be forgotten
@xRuezga2x what do you mean how? that scene was from CoD: WaW and it's the first assault rifle u get.
This is the only cod I ever actually liked a lot and got into
This guy has always been my favorite GS reviewer.
on 360?
Never understood all the Hate against WaW. What a highly underrated Game. Just because all the Kids dont like WW2-weapons doesnt mean this Game is bad.
In my opinion, WaW is far better than Modern Warfare 1.
When we see a review similar to this, in other words talking about how the setting has gotten a bit stale, we can expect a switch in FPS games lol. It was cool seing this review.
I reached my limit on playing the same shit over and over on CoD4 a few months back....actually, when BF:BC came out.
Even if W@W comes across only as some sorta alternative expansion on 4 isn't that a positive for the series if it's keeping people interested?.
PLEASE REPLY: I heard from someone that this game is very short, is that true? how long is it approximately?
I havn't played COD 4 so when i played this, it was epic.
One of my favourite CoD games
@Rsunfable On ps3?
Thanks Chris
the blood and gore is so much more involved- if you get blown up by a frag in WAW your whole feet get blown up... MW2 you just fall down.
It's a good game, i haven't completed the campaign. The multiplayer was fun, but after a month or so i got bored. There is a free multiplayer trial on xbox live (not sure if ps3 does it). You can download it and try it and see if it's worth the money
is that kiefer sutherland's voice?
@shawnmichaelsfan1211 dude its been out for like 2 years
I like the story better, and the online i found was better as well. Although i doubt a lot of people would be playing them. There would most likely be more people on COD4 than WAW. But if they are $10 i recommend you get them both
Beat up this game yesterday again. really great game
@lordskyller he is not bitching he acutally praises the game for being so grimdark and diffierent that the other WWII shooters
i just got this game. bet its awesome huh? i bought it with my bro not even an hour ago
I before World at war and black ops over Modern warfare 2. They Prove you can have a emotional powerful story line with a good multiplayer.
call of duty world at war is so cool on ps3 and xbox 360
what game was that?
@ACheesyProduction Yes its him, check on the credits
This Game Is GOLD
I absolutely love World At War
i think that brother in arm is the best ww game
Familiarity? So should Modern Warfare 2 be deducted points for familiarity?
deoes tis game hav blood?alot or a lil
this was the last good CoD and even then only the russian/german buts and zombies were good
my friend has this game and the first level just when your a P.O.W. and seeing another soldier getting killed its hard to see. I mean its a game but alot of the material these games used was from actual soldiers input. I just hope most of the gamers realize this is a game and war is not a fun thing. I don't believe in banning such things @ all, but people definetly need to establish whats reality and whats games.
Who else feels that Treyarch is better than Infinity Ward?
I have an important question:
In the pc version, I know it has online, but can you also play nazi zombies and campaign with people online?? please reply. Thanks
I know it said my computor doesn't have the right video card driver, I'm getting a new windows7 computer so hopefully that will work
i agree !!!
i think the WW2 games are more violent and gory!!!
Love World at War
i agree but it was the publishers choice
so...BLAME IT ON THEM!!
they thought the WW2 shooter market was gettin old so they made infinity ward make a modern game...
i still luv it though
You are not acompanied by an officer in the campaign you are acompanied by a sergeant who is an NCO (non-commisioned officer)
Cod 4 i personally think was a million times better. there was a lot of hype behind this game before it came out and it didn't live up to cod 4's standards(because thats almost impossible :)). the guns in cod4 are somewhat more balanced out(other than the m16) than in cod 5 where no matter what or who you are playing, everyone is using an mp40. it's unbelievable more overpowered then any other gun which takes a lot of the fun out. i sold back cod 5 because it didn't live up to cod 4 in any way.
if i am honest i prefer the 2 modern warfare games, however cod 5 is still an amazing shooter :) i still play on it now even tho i prefer cod 4 and 6
all call of duty games r great though... except maybe 3 but all call of duty games n i have never been disppointed of any cod game cause i cant get enough
the reason cod 5 sold more was becos of cod 4 being so good, just like cod 6 it sold way more becos of cod 4 :)
yes there are a bit too many COD's and i dont know why 3arc abandoned their engine treyarc NGL. and went for IW
@grvalda true man hearing Kiefer Sutherland or Gary Oldman as Reznov talk is epic. the Game's good but I stil like Black Ops more
So to me the most unrealistic part of this game was playing on anything other than normal difficulty, is the enemy carrying backpack solely filled with grenades? I mean, what are there guys eating?
wtf
Not to necropost but every soldier usually carried with them one or two grenades, so the abundance makes plenty sense when you consider the amount of soldiers you fight.
so is world at war better than modern warfare? I can get em both for 10 bucks now
ever since cod 4 came out.....people just forget that call of duty started out with WWII games..........people r always like i like modern warfare more....and it pisses me off, cuz call of duty was originally just WWII games.......really i think they should just keep making WWII games
@FlyingAce1015 absolutley yes
the other cod reviews this guy did he was happy now he seems all down whule he tries to smile :P
This is depressing
i know BO is gory but only in SP which is a pain in the ass. In WAW you throw a grenade in some person's legs they blow up this was in SP and MP. But in BO it's only in SP :(
@TheDailyCranks
Nope, sold it after a month, found it rubbish. Got black ops tho, but only for the zombie mode.
"offers cooperative play"
then they took it away.
I can't wait to get this game, Zombies all the way!!
@evrybodylovessimon if ur on the xbox i will play with ya i just got it to :D
@eiroight i know right
top 5 COD
1 Modern Warfare
2 Modern Warfare 2
3 COD World at War
4 Black Ops
5 COD 1
my opinion
it's a very good renter
if you are trying to decide between 4 and 5... ask yourself this... do i like fighting in the current age, or am i interested in the rich history of WWII? i like WWII history so i bought cod 5, but i will probably get MW2
its not the time period tht bugs me with this game, its the multiplayer balancing if they got the balancing right, this game wud have been alot better then cod 4
Nazi zombies is available after the campaign?
.........nah, I got it straight of the get-go! In other words, right after downloading it on Steam.
Originally it was only available after the campaign but after they released dlc with zombie maps in it they knew not everyone played the campaign so wouldn't be able to play the new mwps so they changed it so everyone could play it
+Jack Lee you are correct, I remember when a friend told me about zombies, and I didn't believe him, and he invited me to a game, and I was shocked and amazed at the same time
when the halo reach beta is over im gonna get cod4 and cod waw for my ps3
everone is saying that modern warfare is better or world at war is better but to me since i own both games i dont really think any beats another
Call of Duty 6 : Future warfare Think of that
@manvir255
A game about WW1 would be terrible.
The only thing the soldiers did was sitting in trenches and the weapon that killed most soldiers was artillery fire...
Treyarch screw black ops make more ww2 cods
they need to do a call of duty in vietnam
@Rsunfable Hell ya!
i dont think this guy realises that ww2 wasnt a god damn tea party, and that good men died.
Still better than ign's review.
@homerun0508 well i'd say cod4. but really the multiplayer is built the same its just different time periods. i said cod4 cuz i feel more people play that nowadays. i have black ops but sometimes i feel like going back to world at war and theres about 11,000 people on average. not very much. only games i get into are team deathmatch, free for all, and search. other game modes i have to wait till about 3 in the afternoon. but yeah play cod4

@FabioPTv
no most people hate mw2 or atleast mos tcomments that i see ont he mw2 ideos talk tash about it
I have, it's worth it. The single player gameplay is excellent. The co-op is excellent. The Zombie thingo is excellent. The multiplayer has MORE than CoD4. The violence is better. The only difference is you can't custom the camo on your gun. Who cares?.
The downside of W@W is that it's TOO similar with the online gameplay. It feels like it's lacking something there. For the extras, I'd give it a better rating than 4.
You played it?.
"world at war has pretty much copied modern warfare... " - Gamespot. I think it was the same thing different time period. I enjoyed the game and loved the nazi zoombies!.
@WasGhettoBoy812 This game has Blood and GORE!!!
Gore as in legs, hands, and heads flyin'!
So yeah... It has a lot of blood :)
it just like 4 just with older weapons
