WorthPlaying writes: "Call of Duty: World at War completely changes the rules of engagement by redefining WWII gaming and thrusting players into the final tension-filled, unforgiving battles against a new ferocious enemy in the most dangerous and suspenseful action ever seen. The most notable additions to this patch are the /record and /demo commands which allow you to record and view your MP matches for submission to tournaments, leagues, etc."

Quentyn from AnalogHype writes: Recently, one of our comrades Adrian signed onto Call of Duty: World at War for his daily killings, when it came to his attention that there were no freaking tanks on hardcore playlists. Don't get my tone wrong, however, I was pleasantly surprised by this fact and even more so excited. Treyarch sent these changes out as part of a hot patch, a patch that doesn't require any downloading or change to your files whatsoever (which is probably why a lot of people were confused and didn't even know that anything had gone down). The changes were part of a slightly bigger patch, for which the details can be found after the jump, but at heart I really don't care about that crap: you took away the single biggest cripple on the hardcore playlist and that's all anyone could ask for.

Joystiq writes: "Hugh Spencer is an awesome dad. Not only is he active in his son Evan's life, but he's a pretty funny guy. When Evan told him he wanted to play Call of Duty: World at War, Hugh eyed the T-rating for the game and worried that the content might not be suitable for his son. So he thought of a compromise.

Introducing the Geneva Convention to Evan, Hugh said he could play the game, but only if he and his team followed the rules set forth in the GC. What makes this so funny is that, in all honesty, the Geneva Convention has no place in this particular FPS. You're not taking prisoners in the game, and even if you could hear the opposing team's cries for mercy online, what could you really do? You can't round them up, place them in shelter, and feed them 3 meals a day. That game is called The Sims."

Gamezine: BAFTA explains the inclusion of the 2007 title, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, in the 2008 Video Game BAFTA Awards, as well as the reasoning behind the limited nominations for Metal Gear Solid 4.

If you have a gander at the released nominations for the 2008 BAFTA Video Game Awards, you might find it odd that the game with the most nominations is Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - a 2007 game. This meant that 2008's Call of Duty: World at War was missing from the list.

JD has posted an update about the 1.2 Patch for COD:WAW.

"For those of you familiar with the PC Patching Process announcement at the top of this forum (linked below), we are currently in Phase 4 of the PC Patch 1.2 production. All items we intended to fix for PC Patch 1.2 have been fixed, and the fixes are being tested.

As the process explains, this Phase can be iterative, and we may need to iron out some wrinkles as the testers hammer away at it. We suspect the patch will be finished within 2 weeks presently. I'll keep you updated if that changes.

Regards,
-JD"

Treyarch has explained to the Call of Duty: World at War community why patching the PC version has taken so long.

The conclusion of a lengthy post by community manager JD_2020 (Josh Olin according to Kotaku) is that desktop updates take a minimum of eight weeks from start to finish.

This process involves listening to fans, reproducing the issues to engineers, testing, submitting the patch to Activision, more testing, and then finally building an installer and distributing the files.
