Call of Duty: World at War

Yeh, I did the same on COD3. Flew through it on normal then went back.

COD4 i did on Vet from the start, don't get me wrong I enjoy a challenge but sometimes it's more luck than skill.
 
Much better than 4, more gruesome and the story is told better, add in the extra gore and Jack Bauer and then you have a winning formula.

Treyarch have outdone Infinity Ward.
 
this game is smegging annoying on hardened never mind vet i seem to spawn with a nade in my trousers on some missions and some of them seem to come out of rocks :mad: its getting to the piont where am thinking of giving up and am only on the start of 7 :(
 
Starting to enjoy this a little more but I feel the maps lack the iconic feel of Modern Warfare and the guns were never going to beat an M16A4 with red dot sight.
 
Bought this yesterday, traded it in for Tom Clancy's End War.. lost £10 but so glad I got COD...

Level 12 online already :D
 
Started this on veteran yesterday, I'm up to the level where you get ambushed where you're the Americans ontop of the tanks.

This is almost as hard as COD3, its really really hard (or Ive just forgotten what veteran is like). Two bits in particular have been really hard, one where you have to clear out the last bunker in the tropical type level which requires going through the cave (I just got shot INSTANTLY when an enemy saw me) and the second was at the end of the level where you have to take out the Anti AA guns and then destroy the tanks using them - stupidly hard, cant believe I did it.
 
Has anyone had the problem where it won't let you use certain letters in your clan tag? (F in my case) and if so did you find a way round it?

Cheers.

360 btw.
 
Nope, me and my mates all had JSF in our tags on the old one, they can all have it but I cant, even if I typr F on its own it tells me it is prohibited!
 
hello all, i've read a few posts in the thread, but really, it is too long for me to begin looking for an answer, so could i get a few opinions, now its been out a couple of weeks, on whether or not this game is actually worth it?

played CoD4 and thoroughly enjoyed it (probably the biggest influence behind the 2nd purchase of an xbox 360) but i really don't want a CoD 4 clone (that's not to say i don't want elements of CoD4 to be present, i just don't want it to be 'just a skinned' CoD4).
i've seen a few videos online of ingame footage and have been speaking to other mates who have got it (or been in the beta) and it's about 50/50.

TL: DR? is CoD4 worth spending money on (and how cheaply have you found it?)
 
I think I've had enough of this one, have put in 20 hours, got to level 40-something and have a good k/d ratio of 2.7 but still find it very frustrating in parts and for every good game you have to endure 2-3 one-sided/campfest games. Other things that annoy me are:

Graphics are too messy, making it very hard to see someone until they move, hence any larger maps are far too prone to snipers/campers.

Weapons are not balanced, 90% of people are using the submachine guns since the rifles are useless without stopping power unless you are playing HC.

Hit detection seems to be very off compared with COD4 (or the net code isn't up to scratch).

War mode is rubbish, have only played one game that ended properly, all others go to "final fight" and come down to a lucky grenade that takes out 3-4 people and leaves the flag open.

Dogs are far far too powerful and in HC are a joke (one bite to die), the helicopter in COD4 was very powerful but at least you could get rid of it. To make things worse, the dogs lead the other team straight to you, generally leading to someone else getting 5/7 kills.

Tanks are far too hard to take down, getting one is pretty much a guaranteed 5+ kill streak on most maps.

Most of the maps are pretty average, there were only a couple in COD4 I didn't like and a lot of them I really liked, in this game there are none that I really enjoy as they all seem to encourage you to camp with some claymores, sorry I mean bouncing betties ;)

I find the voice overs irritating other than the Americans, verging on racist but I guess that's about par for the course in a World War II game.


There are some parts I like (single player was a laugh) but in general it just feels like an average mod of COD4. I'll be going for a mix of GoW2 and Left 4 Dead instead, the latter also seems to have less idiots than you get on WaW.

will you be selling it? :p
 
It's there now mate, drop me an email if you're interested (sorry to everyone else, wasn't intending to use my rant as a way to sell my copy!)
 
I still havn't played all the maps well enough on MP to get where all the sniping spots are, on the few that I have played a couple of times, apart from one of the Japanese levels, i've only found one decent spot that you can place Bouncing Betties on (Even though I still can't bloody use them!!! makes sniping a whole lot harder..)
