Who likes this more than COD4?
Call of Duty: World at War
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Nov 11, 2008
The fifth installment of the Call of Duty series, bringing most of the gameplay and graphical improvements of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare back to World War II conflict. It is also the first Call of Duty game set in the Pacific Theater.
Am I the only one...
" No. I don't like COD4. WaW is a much better game in my opinion. The maps are better, the guns are funner to use (and more realistic), I prefer the dogs over the helicopter, and I prefer the artillery over the weak airstrike. It also just has better all around production quality.Thats a good one Tars. Good joke.I also prefer historic warfare over modern warfare."
Your properly not the only one, but it will be hard to find others that agree with you. I just finished up World At War, and i hated it so much. Had the single player part been longer (and it was fucking short, to my luck) i might not have finished it.
COD4's Single Player while better, won only by a bit. Sure it was intense and the Nuke scene and the 'final' moments of soap were awesome. However, the story, besides those 2 points turned into just the normal "Oh no! Terrorists!" storyline. I felt that while the 2 emotional moments in WAW weren't as powerful, the overall story and the ability to fully relate it to real world situations (duh) made it more worthwhile. However, I enjoyed COD4's Singe Player more. Enjoyed it more but kinda resented the story.
Sorry bud, WaW is a fun FPS and the Zombie mode wasn't particularly new but it wasn'y terrible, but CoD4 is the shizzle ma nizzle.
You're not the only one. When I logged on yesterday to WaW there was 70,000 people playing online. When they had the bonus xp weekend there was well over 100,000 people playing online. Trust me, your not alone.

You are not the only one, no. But that doesn't mean you are right ;)
Seriously though, I don't really mind World At War but I find Modern Warfare to be better in so many other ways. The single player was more memorable, multiplayer has a bigger pull. The only advantage I can give to WaW is Nazi Zombies, but even then, it is a poor man's Left 4 Dead.
"Multiplayer wise: I'm not a big fan of both. I think I was just spoilt by Halo 3 but COD4 and COD: WaW are not games that you can't take a break from. And I have rarely come to a situation where if my team started to lose, we weren't gonna get back up. The losing team loses.Also, I find the Perk and Unlock System broken and unfair. There comes a point where the good players get better and the not so great players get stuck trying to catch up, all the while getting destroyed by people with significantly better perks. Sure, the somewhat generous ranking system makes up for this (In fact, this is one thing I hoped Halo 3 will take) but it comes to a point where it just gets frustrating.However, when it came down to it, in Multiplayer, it felt more satisfying killing dudes with old WWII era weapons then with M16s and other Modern weapons."
To be honest the reason why I like the COD series is because of those reasons.
Halo 3 was great in all the epicness it brought to the table (end of trilogy, film your matches, 4 player co-op, etc.), but by the time November flew by I got tired of the same old shield regenerating system that it just got annoying to watch a 2000+ pound of armor jumping around....mocking me....coming back after a couple of seconds of waiting for his/her shields to come back up....
Anyways, point of the matter being was that I got tired of Halo 3. It was a game that killed many hours out of my life when I needed it, but I didn't buy a (then) $400 box of bolts to play a game. When COD4 came around it cured that itch.
Yes. COD4/WaW are games you can't take a break from, but that was good for me. Always keeps players on their feet rather then camping for 10 minutes. If they are camping? Two words; Kill Cam.
Ironically the whole "losing team loses" happens against the team I'm in more times then the fingers I can count on my hands and thensome. It sucks, but if it happens, it happens.
The Perk/Unlock system got broken in COD:WaW (in my opinion). The way COD4 handled it had a groove to it by keeping numbers at a steady pace (25 kills, 75, 150). That was all ruined by how WaW added certain attachments to certain weapons (25 kills, 75, 100?, 150). Same thing goes with Perks, and not to be another cat telling you this, but you just gotta find a combo with the perks. A silent/suppressed/flash hidden weapon with Bomb Squad, UAV Jammer/Camouflage, and Dead Silence can do such a s*** storm to an opposing team that if you're lucky you can knife 'em all in a row without dying. Even so, if that's what's getting your team behind then two word; Kill Cam. All in all it's the same as Halo. Find your groove, stick to it, then get ready to blindside the enemy with a new tactic.
I can go on and make the rest of this comment "Infinity Ward fanboyish", but I resent the fact that some people call COD4 "The Perfect Game". I enjoyed this game, but like Halo, I can't base my console out of the merits of a single game. I enjoyed WaW as well, but the multiplayer maps were too big and you are almost never 5 seconds away from the battle. The addition of vehicles was a bummer, but if teams work together to take that one sucker down then the game gets awesome points from my behalf. If anything this game makes sniping look cool again. Map end to map end sniping is so satisfying that it's a real let down that the next sniper after the Mosin-Nagant is about 12 levels away, hehe.

Beautiful post innacces14. I totally see the angle you are coming from.
I wouldn't say that I like COD: WaW more than COD4 (because I don't), but I do believe that WaW gets way too much hate simply because it wasn't developed by IW. I actually think the MP is enjoyable and the SP campaign, specifically the American campaign, was pretty fun as well...as long as you don't play on Veteran. I don't think it's a better game than COD4, but there's no denying that it's a good game and a lot of fun.
I think WaW is more fun, but COD4 is a little more serious in terms of it's online play.
I play WaW more though based on the fact I like WW2 guns.
" I wouldn't say that I like COD: WaW more than COD4 (because I don't), but I do believe that WaW gets way too much hate simply because it wasn't developed by IW."This. I also don't think W@W is a terrible game. By all means, I find the multiplayer to be quite fun. The maps aren't nearly as great as those on CoD4, but the actual gameplay of multiplayer isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. The funniest part is that most people who bitch and complain about the multiplayer can't give you a single solid reason why they don't like it that can't also be said about CoD4. W@W relies less on spray 'n' pray tactics than CoD4 does, however, and that makes me happy. Accuracy actually fucking matters.

i actually chuckled under my breath while reading this.
Truth be told, i thought i was going to like WaW more. I didn't.
To anyone claiming that the Perks/Unlock systems for the games are broken: I've never had a problem slaughtering with the base weapons in either game, but then again, they happen to be some of the best weapons available in both games. Maybe that's just me, and I know that the actual stats of the weapons are lower in some cases to other later unlocks, but the base weapons are still great in both games. Saying they aren't makes me wonder if you people are actually any good at the games or not.
