This must have been a hard sell. You're dragged into an office and told you have to make a follow-up to Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the 10 million copy selling game of the year for 2008. You're told the franchise is going back to World War 2, that's a step back to the old inaccurate guns of WWII and a step away from the hi-tech accuracy and gimmicky Perk-laden goodness we all loved in COD4. You have 18 months to comply.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
A very devoted fan of Call of Duty: World at War racks up incredible in-game stats while playing regularly for the past 15 years.
Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.
Gamespot : Call of Duty: Vanguard launches with 20 multiplayer maps, three of which are actually remakes from 2008's Call of Duty: World at War. Let's take a look at how the maps have changed with this side-by-side comparison.
" The demo I sat down with began in the Pacific theatre, my introduction to World At War was watching a fellow US marine have his eye burned with a cigarette before the Japanese commander slit his throat. Outside other marines were being shot. Then a crack team of marines burst in, killed everyone untied my hands and threw me a gun."
The game is sound okay so far. After the huge disappointment knowing Treyarch is working on it, hopefully they will come through and make this a good game (trying to see the cup as half full here).
