Call of Duty World at War

what I like the best about this game is the lder style weapons, and the variety of them. You have japanese, chinese, russian, and american and british weapons.
Plus you have the online maps that are being regularly added, I would have to say the support for this game is exceptional.

This game GREATLY disappointed me. and I was/am addicted to call of duty 4 (COD4) "modern warfare."
Call of duty 5 essentially takes away all the fun aspects of call of duty 4 and replaces them with tanks and flame-throwers. It also bastardized a lot from COD4 such as the radar, black dot and carpet bombing

Pros:
1)Gameplay-
A) Flame-throwers- Who doesn't want to barbecue a Nazi?
B) Tanks- they are cheap in some levels but fun all the same only problem is when you are facing off against one in a sniper post.
C) Killing Nazi's.
D) Noob-tubes are reserved for higher levels.
E) You can create more custom classes.
F) You can recover from last stand.
2) Single player is great

Cons:
1)Gameplay-
A)You can no longer run around with a sub machine gun pretending to be rambo. There are too many blind corners and the game is build off camping. Even if you are amazing like me and have a 31 kill streak with a P90 in COD4.
B) The assault rifles are pretty much all the same on hardcore except that the german one is easier to see through until you get black dote sight (a rip-off of red dot) that works absolute the same way. Ohh yeah and they are no longer even semi-automatic.
C) Sniper Rifles- All are bolt action and hard recoil making them all the same for hardcore modes.
2) Price-It cost more than COD4

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONLINE DO NOT... I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

I rarely not finish a campaign even if I'm not a big fan of it. And the ONLY reason I finished this one was because I knew it was pretty much at its end and I'm an achievement whore. Enough said... don't want to take my word for it? Well you've probably already made up your mind about this game then.

The online play is pretty fun with a few different game types. However it is the same thing as cod4 except with WW2 weapons. Now about these weapons... You pretty much have to use some kind of automatic just because everyone else is. I personally use the bolt action rifles because I can use them close range... most people can't. The maps look great in this game and saying such if your 360 isn't running well it may have a problem loading these graphics... sad but true.
Over all I would wait for this game to drop down in price a bit before you buy it yourself.

The Call of Duty World at War for Xbox 360 is a great video game. Like almost everything these days, it has some great features and others that leave you scratching your head.

Pros
--you get to shoot things
--you get to shoot things with a flame thrower
--you get to shoot things with a tank with a flamethrower......yeah, a tank with a flamethrower ...how awesome would that be when commuting in traffic?

Cons
--no ability to shoot things with lasers
--character moves slowly when shot
--no ability to just shoot the ear off of the enemy

Overall, the Call of Duty World at War for Xbox 360 will please some and disappoint others. Flame + thrower made it a winner for me.

I've been playing xbox games for about 2 years now, I haven't really found a game that I got truly involved in. I played Halo 3 for a while and it held my attention pretty well, but I just couldn't get into the multiplayer portion of the game. To me, the multiplayer(online) side of a game is what really decides how long a game will stay popular. If the mutliplayer sucks, the novelty of the game wears off with the completion of the single player campaign. Call of Duty 5 is probably one of the best multiplayer games I've come in contact with for the Xbox 360. Wait times for online games are minimal, gameplay isn't too unrealistic and the controls are extremely easy to get used to even for new players. The variety of maps is decent, and after playing a few games you quickly find your favorites. It isn't as good as it could be(friendly fire would make more sense, and destructable environments similar to "Battlefield: Bad company" would put the icing on the cake. Levels aren't difficult to attain, so frustration doesn't set in like other online multiplayer games, and the perks and weaponry upgrades for earned levels are fantastic.

I haven't been into shooter like this since Counterstrike. I highly recommend it.

I just recently beat this and I have to say, I thought it was a solid game. WW2 shooters are a dime a dozen but this had some really exciting parts and involving story elements. For half the game you are an American fighting in the Pacific against the Japanese and the other half you are a Russian fighting in your own country and then eventually making your way into Germany. The graphics, music, script and game mechanics are all good, not great but this is definitely worth a run through. The Nazi Zombie mini game at the end is fun as well.

I was looking around of what game to buy it was either CoD: WaW or Gears of War 2 and I could finally see why picking Gears was the best decision I made. COD5 is the worst game I have ever played because of its graphics, gameplay, and multiplyer/campaign. The graphics of COD5 are starting to look like PS2 COD2 no joke. When I played the beta for this game I was not satisfied one bit. I actually thought that they would make a pretty good WWII game and of course they did not achieve that goal. They made details horrible and playing some maps at night also some terrible visuals throughout the game. The other part that makes this game so terrible is the gameplay witch is not fun at all. The gameplay in COD5 is worse then COD3 and COD3 was actually not bad but comparing to an original xbox game not new generation. There are many reasons why it's so bad, one of the main reasons is the way you sprint. You run like a PS2 game and it looks like you lag throughout the maps. The other reason is the way you throw grenades witch is so bad its not even funny. They tried to be cool and pull the pin out but its just a waste of time and you can only throw the grenade like 40ft and it drops right down. The multiplayer has to be the worst. You can get vehicles in the game witch make it very cheap to get kills and become a tank noob. The attachments also are so fake. They did not have infantry back then in WWII running around with Black Dot sights suppressors and also I don't know the name but its pretty much an ACOG scope. Also the game has the same perks and stuff so we still have the typical noobs that have juggernaut and last stand. Overall this game is not good at all its probably the worst game I have ever played because of its graphics, gameplay, and also the multiplayer.
