[Official] Call of Duty: World at War

[SMELTN]

I love the MP!! Played for 2h total now, and am rank 19 so not TO bad, just taking it nice and slow.

Well, I managed to get the game for free ( https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=702054 ), so I'll be joining you guys shortly. I'll probably play a little of the single player just to get a hang of the weapons, but then I'm going to jump right into MP. Usually, I'll beat SP first, but I just wanted to play online while it's fresh.

I will be on later today around 7 - 8 pm GMT.

Hit me up when your on, I'm down for some co-op if that helps you get into it (Y)

[SMELTN]

no one is playing the PC version? I wouldn't mind getting in some Co-Op there or some MP!!

I played a bit of the single player and then a quick game of the mulitplayer. Seems pretty damn good so far. I was a huge fan of Day of Defeat: Source and while this is way more realistic, it reminds of the game just enough to make it pretty pleasant. Hopefully, next time I go online, there won't be a bunch of 10 year old british kids speaking with the mic half way down their throats .

The single player game is an utter joke on Veteran. It's worse than COD4. At least it was managable and your teammates would follow you up to get to the next checkpoint. In this you have to be superman to do even the earlier levels. It still does suffer from the same bugs that COD4 had (obvious since they used the engine) but they could of fixed the following/moving up system becuase i find i am the only one who does anything most of the time.

Another annoying thing is the when you hit checkpoints it doesnt actually save, so if you turn off your console or eject the disc because you were annoyed, you have to do the whole level again. Doing that on Veteran isn't funny.

I enjoyed the game overall on my first playthrough on Recruit but Veteran is just insane. I did the first 2 levels on Hardered and it was a walk in the park really.

I just never bother with Veteran, in any CoD game.

The AI is about 10 times worse in this when it comes to 'charging'. They will stay back until you clear the area, unlike Call of Duty 4 where they would actually lead the attack and kill someone. You know how many times I've been killed by one of those Banzai attackers or a Japanese just standing in the middle of 4-5 American guys!? ARG!

You just have to hit start and press "Save and Quit", then you start at the checkpoint.

Yeah as I said, Veteran is brutal in this game - Not even "Hard" brutal, just messed-up-game brutal.

But I will say this to the day I die, Call of Duty games needs to be completed on Veteran else you haven't really experienced the game. Call of Duty 2 on veteran is by far one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I have ever had. So intense and requires so much attention, you really feel like you're accomplishing something when you get through the levels.

[PiracyX]

I know that now :(

I had enough it tonight really. I am normally very calm but somtimes i wanted to lob my controller at the floor/door/whatever!

I think treyarch just made it more impossible than impossible really. I know a few peope have nearly finished it on Veteran but they said some parts was pure luck.

[Sethos]

I just have a feeling Treyarch doesn't play test the game on veteran or they just run through it with god-mode to look for any massive showstoppers.

Pretty much into this game now as much as I was COD4.

For awhile I was slow getting into it, only played MP an hour here and an hour there since it's release, but after today I am just pretty much absolutely into playing it now.

For whatever reason until today I was under the impression Headquarters was not in this version at all. Not sure why I thought that, but since up until today I have not played at any real great length, I have literally always joined other people's parties so I had never got the chance to see the types of modes to choose from. Now that I know it exists and I have played Headquarters, I think this game is just as good as COD4. I see nothing different at all in the game-play of HQ except the obvious difference in weapons, which you adjust to.

HQ was and always will be my favorite mode though. We played Team Death-match for about 45 minutes before we started playing HQ, and I really do not think I ever got above 10 kills, and I had such crappy rounds as 6 & 18. We switch over the HQ and I was doing much, much better. Averaged around 20 kills a round and even went 36 & 7 or 9 (forget which one exactly) one round. A dramatic difference.

I just really like HQ creates tight choke points were all of the action happens. It just suits my style of play better when I can try to know and anticipate where the enemy is going to be and strategize and react accordingly. I get more into the hunter / hunted mode for whatever reason. I know people either love it or hate it, not to many people seem to feel indifferent to that Mode, but for me it is what makes the game so damn enjoyable to play. So damn happy I found out it existed!

You know what DL, I stumbled upon Headquarters through a glitch(trying to join Team Deathmatch) and I immediately thought damn I should tell DL about this, I was under the impression that WAR had replaced it for some weird reason :s But that is not the case so apologies on my behalf.

I love headquarters just as much except I rarely get the amount of kills your talking about :| that's pretty impressive stuff right there (Y)

I am going to be free ALL this weekend and maybe even Thurs and Fri for some time so defo hit me up when you want to demolish the newbs on headquarters and this invite goes to ALL neowinians (Y) Join in the fun ;)

[SMELTN]

HQ is where it is at.. 80% of the time I play HQ and about 15% is War, the other 5% is spent playing Capture the Flag. I hate TDM and can't stand FFA

Btw my name in game is Smeltn add me to your friends list if you have the PC version so we can play

No problem man, if I recall correctly, you were definitely not the only one who thought HQ was gone. :laugh:

This weekend is going to be real tight for me. Thanksgiving with her family today, mine tomorrow, then my High School Reunion on Saturday, so hoping I can maybe play Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

[MillionVoltss]

Ive been playing Hardcore myself quite abit but i dont rank up as quick as maybe doing Headquaters but im happy sneaking about :)

Grr at Veteran, ive got 3/4 of the way through on my first go skipping easier levels and its STUPID, havent completed game yet now as i cant be arsed even on easy.

[Sethos]

Yeah, Hardcore is where the fun is at! :)

[Green_Eye]

Sorry about not accepting your invite. Was in middle of getting my butt kicked in HQ.

When we finished up the round, I went to invite you in, and you were gone.

Try to catch up over the weekend.

[Green_Eye]

Yeah sorry had some guests pop round and since 360 is in the main room I had to stop the game :hmmm:

I might be on a bit later tonight if you're still on?

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

I still need to finish the SP of this game, stupid sound issues. New sound card is needed.

Maybe I should at least play some MP, hmm.

[habnad]

Well, the Ray Gun does exist in SP Campaign. Either that, or someone did a real good video editing job.

In order to get it, you're supposed to jump into those craters as shown, then wait in the last one.

I haven't tried it yet, (too late here tonight), but I'm going to try it tomorrow.

[t0mbi]

WOW! can someone confirm that the ray gun thing worked??

[Woj]

Yep, just tried it on the PC and it works!

[t0mbi]

i just tried on 360 and it works! funnily enough though when i went to play it off the HDD the NXE told me i had to re-install it lol

[Techno_Funky]

Just started Playing this game .... am not so fond of such 24/7 action the very reason had not completed COD2. Will definately finish this one thoug h ... :blush:

[Victor Rambo]

Any other easter egg? :p
