Press Start Now: Call Of Duty: World at War Review

The next installment of the Call of Duty series is here in Call of Duty: World at War. With the addition of online co-op, multiplayer vehicles, and a higher online level cap, CoD:WaW showed major potential. Unfortunately, potential and reputation are not the only things that make up a great video game. Some things about CoD:WaW are awesome, but there are also many things that they could have made better.

This review is coming in pretty late to the fray.

Anyways, the game is amazing. I am enjoying it just as much as COD 4 but I can completely understand it some of you like COD4 a bit more. The different style of weapons is a biggie for a lot of people.

Anyways, Zombies rule and I want to see more of them soon! New levels, zombie related fun would be awesome. ZOMBIE ZOMBIES ZOMBIES

Also, I have played this on both the PS3 and the 360 and there is no difference. I did notice a harder time connecting with my friends than on the 360. No biggie of course.

Pennywise5981d ago

What is it a zombie mode? I havent played this one yet because I am sooo tired of WWII games. Zombies sound cool though!!!

And a quick comment on your last sentence... You have trouble connecting to friends on XBL and it is not a big deal? Isnt that the service you pay for? Should that service be the flawless one?

Powertesties5981d ago (Edited 5981d ago )

My friend, I have yet to have any problems on Live. That is the truth. I play most of my games on Live because the service is worth paying for.

Not saying there are not problems (or that you haven't experienced problems) but I have yet to experience any that would make me say that Live should be free.

As for the Zombie mode, man it is killer! You are inside of compound, up to 4 players are holding down the fort. Wave after wave of zombies are coming. You earn points for each hit you deliver to a zombie and each window you board up. You use these points to buy guns. Freaking awesome!

DA_SHREDDER5981d ago

I think he meant that he has a hard time connecting to friends on the ps3. Its funny because Im always host on the 360 after the game does the host migration, but I always get booted out of the ps3 version of the game. The 360 version is far superior then the ps3 when it comes to the online aspect of it all. Also, the zombie mode is refreshing, but pointless. It usually ends up being a yelling match because you can never beat it, and everyone just gets pissed off at each other for messing up the perimeter.

Now onto the review.. How does this idiot think its a bad game cause it plays and feels like Cod4? This douche bag talks about how good the sound is, and even compares the graphics to pc games, but says its not as good as COD4 because it wasn't made by infinity ward. This is whats wrong with the media today. You got retards that don't grade games on how good they are. They always compare them to other games. The only reason why this game got rated so low was because it was made by Treyarch. This is an Epic failure of a review. I dont know why anyone would let this dude do reviews on their site. Booo this man.

Pennywise5981d ago

I think he meant what he said, but you have your side too. Dont assume because you have no problems that someone else doesnt!

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."

ChasterMies410d ago

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

just_looken410d 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

CrimsonWing69410d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker410d 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!

KyRo410d ago (Edited 410d 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.

CrimsonWing69410d ago (Edited 410d 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.

Profchaos410d ago (Edited 410d 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_Frampt410d 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_looken410d 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.

Well, he definitely got his money’s worth.

Abnor_Mal705d 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.

andy85705d 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

Relientk77705d ago

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

nitus10705d 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.

boing1704d ago

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

EvertonFC704d ago

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

Knushwood Butt704d ago

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

vTuro24704d 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.

Rhythmattic704d ago

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

jznrpg705d 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.

EvertonFC704d ago

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

poppatron704d 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

EvertonFC704d ago

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

RedDevils704d ago

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

Outlawzz704d ago

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