Call of Duty: World at War


Treyarch ditches the number subtitle and expectedly returns to WWII and the Pacific theatre of war. World at War has extremely brutal gunplay and amazing online multiplayer and co-op modes, but don't expect much new and improved beyond CoD4.

If there’s one word that sums up World At War for us, it’s ‘brutal’. The latest Call of Duty, developed over the last two years by Treyarch – not series creator Infinity Ward – is a brutal slog through a WWII setting unlike any other. You may think you’ve ‘been there’ and ‘done that’ when it comes to this particular global conflict, but after five minutes in either the blood-soaked single player campaign or the frenzied multiplayer you’ll realise that this is far from your average, tired WWII shooter. ...

Seriously, no offense to Call of Duty: World at War’s single player. Toiling through the Pacific and Eastern European theater, communicating with Keifer Sutherland and Gary Oldman, face melting flamethrowers that spits face-melting liquid death? We’re not complaining. You could argue that the immersive cinematic campaign helped Call of Duty 4 move 10 million copies, but it’s certainly not the reason why a healthy fraction ...   » Read Full Call of Duty: World at War preview

With Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward took its signature franchise into the 21st century. But we haven’t played our last WWII CoD game yet. Treyarch Studios, Activision’s B-team and developer of the console-only Call of Duty 3, is entrenched in the 1940s and hard at work on Call of Duty: World at War, which will come to the PC this year. ...   » Read Full Call of Duty: World at War preview

CoD modern warfare is WAY better in my opinion. i dont get why they had to go back to WW2. running out of wars i guess. anyways this game isnt what i expected it to be. gotta go back to playin CoD modern warfare. oh well.

How about a guide to how to get the sodding thing to run?
Installed OK, applied the patch, double click on the icon, select single player and - nothing!
Select multiplayer and - error "an unhandled exception..."
Think I'll just sling it back and return to Brothers in Arms - Hell's Highway. Or Cod - Modern Warfare (for the umpteenth time, but what the hell - it's great!).
As for my rig, well it's not cutting edge but I'm playing Crysis, CoD - MW and BiA- HH at 14440x900 all settings maxed out no prob. CoD - WaW? No chance...
