Call of Duty: World at War better than Call of Duty 4? Doubt It.

isn't a real improvement over COD4. The story almost copies COD4's story, but in a WWII way. The best things about COD:W@W (flamethrower, vehicles, new mp maps) could've been added to COD4 in an expansion/update.

Creepa at GameManx6059d ago

its kinda like Modern Warfare 2.0

Darkseider6059d ago

Is ok so far. Played a little of the campaign and then some TDM online. My only gripe so far is respawning and being camped. It has happened in a few games where my entire team was wiped 2 or 3 times on respawn. Other than that minor annoyance a fun game so far. Can't wait to unlock Nazi Zombies!

insanemcbain6059d ago

thats statement sounds ridiculous.

butterfinger6058d ago (Edited 6058d ago )

Allow me to rephrase: The story parallels COD4's almost exactly. Some of the missions are nearly identical, but they are set in a different country, during WWII, with a different soldier. If you played both games, you would be able to know what I'm talking about. I don't want to toss out any spoilers.

@ Darkseider - The zombie nazis are awesome:) The online is great, but it's almost a carbon copy of COD4's. lol. I was just commenting on the campaign.

"No reviews by day launch typically means the game is crap."
There are by now already 5-6 reviews out... If not, even more! WTF are you talking about??? It's getting 9's! Is it better than CoD4? I don't know... I'll notice soon enough! There are people who don't like CoD4 at all, instead, they like CoD2 more. Why? I don't know, maybe that's something we call an opinion?

butterfinger6058d ago

will love COD:W@W, simple as that:P

Gun_Senshi6059d ago

But now I love it

Let me explain why I hated it before.

First Level is fine, some graphical glitches and fine.
Second level is too repetitive and annoying.
Third level Treyarch tries to copy the Sniper level from COD4 exactly the same, this reall put me off. (This is where I stopped)

4th Level game start becoming good and the levels after it it keeps getting better and better. I love the russian levels specifically.

See you online on PSN espically that idiot that flame without ever knowing anything. (Who was doing so knows who is he.)

butterfinger6058d ago

I hope you aren't accusing me of flaming without knowing anything. I also hope that you noticed the horrible AI throughout the game, and how it got worse towards the end of the campaign. The Russian levels were fun, but the end of the game, once again, was ALOT like COD4's. I played the game on the 360, and I wasn't impressed with the graphics at all. IT's not big deal, though. Some people buy Madden every year even though it's not a real improvement, and Activision knows people will buy this game every year.

Gun_Senshi6058d ago

nope it was not you butterfinger :) I always agree with you.

For AI i am atm in Recuit so I don't know if good at higher difficulty. But I can just run and knife.

im sick of hearing all these comparisons.

they are 2 different games

yes Trayarch used the same engine and borrowed ideas and concepts from COD4 (maybe a few to many) but the game is solid and fun and who ever can't see past that should just go pick up banjo kazooie and have a blast

but even that will probably be to much for them and soon i bet we will hear them complain about that sequel ...

mariusmal6058d ago (Edited 6058d ago )

my problem is that it feels like a mod.

butterfinger6058d ago

I would've preferred an expansion/update to COD4...

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

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."

ChasterMies415d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken415d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing69415d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker415d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing69415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt415d ago

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.

just_looken415d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

65 Year Old Gamer Racks Up Ridiculous Stats After Playing 1 Game for 15 Years

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.

Well, he definitely got his money’s worth.

Abnor_Mal710d ago

Same as Shirley Curry playing Skyrim for years. In the next Elders Scrolls game they should have her in the game as some form of npc.

andy85710d ago

She is, I read she will be a character. Not a dig in any form but I hope she's alive when it releases

Relientk77710d ago

That's over 7,000 hours geez. What crazy stats

nitus10710d ago

Actually it is very easy to up the number of hours you have been playing a game. Basically all you need to do (assuming you have a PS4 or 5) is to place the console into stand-by without exiting the game, so if you do this a one hour gameplay actually becomes a 24 gameplay or longer.

boing1709d ago

What? So the game is still runinng when you put it to sleep? What?

EvertonFC710d ago

It's actually sad not an achievement but hey we need the full story details.

Knushwood Butt709d ago

There's someone on my friend list that has more than 6200 hours on Uncharted 4.

vTuro24709d ago

7k hours over 15 years isn't that crazy. The fact that he's been playing the same game for 15 years is more impressive.

And then you got people that want to finish a game every week.

Rhythmattic709d ago

Nailed what is the Spectrum... For good and bad, Quality or Quantity..Or the unreasonable to reason for. ;)

jznrpg710d ago

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.

EvertonFC710d ago

500 days in 6 years is nothing lol, you do realise how many days in a year right ?

poppatron710d ago

I might be getting the maths wrong here, I think 500 days in 6 years works out at an average of just over 6 hours every single day. For 6 years. That’s pretty serious

EvertonFC709d ago

Edit: wrote this early this morning, I understand it's lots of hours now lol at myself 😂🤣😜

RedDevils709d ago

The only way to achieve this, is by having no life outside of video game lol.

Outlawzz709d ago

Strange choice of game but hey that's some devotion. Congrats to them!
