GCO: "Question. How are you able to take a hit franchise to present day, make millions of fans, then send it back into the past and keep your fans? Well, first you will have get to all your fans to return to the game, then your going to need the best reason in the world for them want to buy it - like a flamethrower - that will make them go an tell everyone about and that should do it. And it looks like Treyarch has mastered this skill - thanks to Infinity Ward's unfriendly comment that were made last week - but how well did they master it?"
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."
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.
I think it's pure metrics. They used the COD4 engine, we know those graphics rock. And let's admit it, there's still millions of people who DO love their WWII shooters, despite the outcry against them.
They added a bit more replayability than COD4, kept the stellar graphics, and stayed true to the formula.
I wouldn't buy it new, but I'm definitely eager to play it.
I am still sitting on the fence on this one... COD4 is going to be hard to match.
You know.. I wasn't sold on the idea of going back to WW II.. I liked the change to current times.. however after reading this.. it really makes me want to get it.. I still may have to wait a while.. seeing how i just got gears.. but you make me want to play this game!
Looks fun, i'm getting it. Release the hounds!
was playing it last night at a friends, and to be honest i didnt find the story as engaging as the one in cod4.
