Call of Duty : World at War - Worth Buying?

Number_25 · 12 Jun 2011 at 23:22

Hey guys,
I've been playing FPS for quite some time now and one that stuck in my mind was Call of Duty 5. I think its arguably the most underrated call of duty ever made...

But anyway I saw it on Steam recently and I've been put off buying it in-case of the community being dead.

Are there still people playing this?

ScarySquirrel · 12 Jun 2011 at 23:23

I would imagine so. I thought it was awesome personally so if you can get it cheap and you don't have much else to play, go for it.

EDIT: I just checked, plenty of people still playing

At £24.99 its not exactly 'cheap'.

If I was to buy a retail version of this would I be able to activate it on steam?

you can get Black Ops for £25 which activates on steam.

Leave well alone. rubbish buddy

Brumboy · 12 Jun 2011 at 23:47

It's good but CoD4 is the best by far.

Purdy · 12 Jun 2011 at 23:50

Cod4 is better, but still a very enjoyable game with some cool mp maps I found

ScarySquirrel · 12 Jun 2011 at 23:52

Despite what is said about, it's not 'rubbish' at all.

Having said that for £25 I think you'd be better off with something else.

It's a COD game before they started using Steamworks so no. It will still work online though if you buy a retail copy, so go for it. If you can find it cheap.

lol at it still being £25, what a joke.

arc@css · 13 Jun 2011 at 01:11

Just seen it for £13.49 (low stock left). I played the demo, and although short, which I imagine the whole game doesn't amount to many hours in its entirety anyway, I did actually quite enjoy what I played through.

Also...£9.99 now elsewhere, says in stock (2-3 day).

You could always wait for it to appear in a steam sale. We have 4th july coming up, normally lots of sales around then.

COD:WAW is a game I've been waiting to appear in a Steam sale for about 2 years. COD4 has been on offer 3 times I think and a couple of small reductions on MW2 and Black Ops but no WAW.

Crazy that the older CoD games are STILL sooooo expensive in most places.

CSA · 13 Jun 2011 at 09:32

Its not like steam, you dont need the client running to play, only to install.
