[Official] Call of Duty: World at War


Recommended Posts

Main thing that is ****ing me off, is the lack of spawn point. You've got a map bigger than Cod4's countdown, and there are only 4 spawn points per side.

I've ost count i've spawned inbetween two enemies and been killed instantly, only to be forced to sit fr 15 seconds to respawn, i do respawn, killed, sit and wait again.

Also the amount of times it has spawned an enemy in our base on capture the flag. Now that IS just rediculus.

Apoptosis: I have a 6.1 surround set and I have never heard anyone sneak up behind me in Call of Duty 4 when they weren't sprinting. Even back in the days where I had my 360 hooked up to my PC monitor and had to use my headphones / headsets I heard nothing ( High-end Sennheisers ) So I guess you need special hardware to hear it which imo is a flaw with the game. I think it was me who mentioned something about butchering, I just wondered if treyarch had butchered the recipe which I can see they haven't ... They just copied it directly.

I will be getting the 360 version for sure. The PS3 controller is horrible for FPS games coupled with the fact that voice on the PS3 is crap. Some people are too loud, some you can't hear, others have some crappy microphone and some have constant static ... Really is the big flaw of using an 'open' standard and letting users buy their own headsets.

And I do agree with King Antonius. I haven't had that many problems with spawning but sometimes you do spawn behind enemies and they spawn behind you, really annoying when you spawn in an artillery zone or right next to a pair of dogs.

I agree with the problems of requiring special hardware (for the record, if you have turtle beach headphones, or good surround sound headphones then you'll hear it all).

Has anyone played multi-bomb S&D? How does that work?

I completely forgot about the beta :( I guess I wont be getting it :p

I'll still be looking forward to the game though :)

Not to late to register at EG (released tomorrow morning allegedly) or pre-order at GAME (and then cancel your order :shiftyninja:)

So I finally hit Rank 11 after what, an hours play time?

There is nothing wrong with the game itself, everything is working just fine and the entire game is a proven recipe which is also the problem. Feels more like an expansion pack and nothing else, I just don't have that "Oh I want to play another round" or "Wow, I love this game!" moments because I feel as though I tried everything before. I will probably get the game because I loved Call of Duty 4 but I still played that game way too much for this game to feel "new". I also still have my doubts regarding to the single-player campaign because a) it's treyarch developing it, they seem to make some extremely boring and generic single-player experiences b) it's the pacific side of World War 2. I love WW2 but the pacific war is really boring in my opinion :p

But the co-op is really a huge plus for me no matter how bad the single-player campaign is ( Like Halo 3 ) always turns out to be loads of fun but multiplayer will only last a solid month or two.

Then a thing I absolutely hated about Call of Duty 4 was, there is no footsteps when you aren't sprinting ... why?! So annoying when a soldier can sneak up behind you even though he is running with like 20-30 pounds of equipment, really ****es me off. Sorry just had to get this in, it's still annoying me big time :laugh: Hate having to constantly check my surroundings with a controller, tires out the thumbs extremely quick.

Oh and another small thing which might just be me but there is something iffy about the rifles. At 50ft or 2ft the bullet travel time is the same. So annoying when you have a guy RIGHT in front of you and you still have to compensate for travel time, what the hell?!

I agree with everything bolded there, basically sums it up for me.

Looking forward to co-op as i have NO IDEA how that could work in a WW2 game :laugh:

Had to boot up the laptop just to add something I forgot.

What is it with those weapon sounds? They have no oomph whatsoever! Why does every weapon have to sound like a starving African child hitting some tin-cans with a broken wooden spoon? Call of Duty 4 also suffered from this with some of the weapons but it's even worse now. World War 2 weapons made a ton of noise.

Argh ****ing tell me about it, they've captured the WW2 scene perfectly, apart from the weapon sounds! I was using a rifle earlier and it was like ''click click click''.

CoD4 weapon sounds were the ****.

That is exactly what I want to test out if I can get a key for the beta. I was an avid player of COD 4 as well and I also have been quite outspoken in this post about just how much COD 5 is exactly like COD 4.

Are any sites still giving out keys?

I would like to know this as well, apparently my two entries have not come through yet, and can I even try through Eurogamer?

I did it Saturday evening, registered an account and migrated at the same time, next morning there was a key waiting for me.

Why the hell couldn't they have added at least one Hardcore mode, sick of this regular crap.

Been playing hardcore mode ever since it was released for Call of Duty 4, going back to regular mode is a royal pain in the ass. Game feels so ADHD in its regular form! Everything is just chaos, constant chaos.

"ARG SHOT IN THE BACK, 50 DOGS OH NOES ARTILLERY, 700 RECON PLANES OH NOES 200 GRENADES, BANG BANG BANG!!!!11" Give me tactical damnit!

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
