Call of Duty:World at War

Bubblehead1980 · 03-19-10, 04:54 PM

Just curious if anyone else still plays Call of Duty World at War?

I still play it because its one of the few modern games i've found that lets you fight in the PTO of WW II.I like that it includes the battle of Peleliu, which is often neglected despite being such a tough battle.Although I wish the game was more open ended and not so scripted to up the replay value and the constant grenade lobbing is annoying(and wish the entire game was PTO and not ETO) but overall still love the game and play it on regular basis.Finishing the game on Veteran is pretty tough.I find the Okinawa mission at Wana Ridge(where the grass is tall and you have flamethrower) to be very tough on Vet level.The hand to hand combat is not bad, Japanese Banzai charge often , esp fun when you have a bayonet on your rifle.

Also, any new of anymore WW II PTO shooters coming out? I'd like to see a first person shooter with elements that allow you to choose different weapons etc and not so much scripted behavior.

I used to play it, got all the way up to doing prestige mode, but a fried computer put paid to my profile. No external back-ups sadly, and I don't really feel like starting from scratch again. Guess that's the end of WaW for me.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is worth a look though, fantastic game, plenty of unlocks, and fully destructible environments. Great fun.

I really liked COD WAW because it covers the PTO and esp the later PTO battles which were intense and are so in the game.Only annoying thing is the Japanese seem to have an unlimited supply of grenades, which is a thing in all COD games, very annoying.Wish they had made the entire game PTO, covered battles from early to late war.The Russian vs Germany in late stages is fun but wanted all PTO.Hopefully theyll do an entirely PTO COD at some point.Minus the idiot squad mates and constant grenade throwing by enemies.

I really don't think Call of Duty is going to be around much longer; while MW2 sold well, the multi-player limitations put a real dent in it's overall popularity and longevity. I suspect that if there are future titles, they will be moving in a different direction from WaW, that is assuming they don't go with console exclusives.

Personally, I've lost faith in Call of Duty, it seems that the developers/publishers are too busy fighting amongst themselves to produce the quality of their previous instalments. It's a pity, but I think we have to look to new horizons.

Know about the spat between Activision and IW? Some top execs at IW didn't agree with the direction Activision was stearing them in and effectively rebeled. Don't think IW will be making any CoD games anymore...

Also, last I heard, Activision wanted to move towards subscription model. Not clear if it will apply to the mainstream games or to some spin-off series though.

Imho 1 game per year is getting close to shovelware, and they actually want to make more of 'm.

Anyone know how to get the bloody sound working in this game? I spent half the day, trying to get sound working. Even bought a new sound card, and no luck.
