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.
Should you get COD WAW if you have COD4!
Well I for one would recommend picking it up at some point in time if you really like COD4, essentially they are the same game in both the single player and multi-player portions, (except for the obvious differences being time setting and available weaponry.) There are some new perks and tanks are able to be driven online as well. So basically if your hankering for a new setting and different weapon sets but still want the same familiar CoD4 gameplay, then I would say yea pick it up. Thats not to say the game isnt without a few faults and complaints here and there but like i said if you liked 4 i dont see why you wouldnt like 5, but also take note it isnt by any means another re-creation of the searies, it is at its core the same as CoD4.
Not sure unlike Cod4 the online gets to boring and stayle, the rank system is rubbish its to spread out and not rewarding enoutgh so your going to get bored of the guns fast.
The map layouts are good but there is a glitch on every one wich is bad and annying to play on. Also the map cycle is rubbish as well (yey) so even if you like a map be prepared to play hundread of times a day, so yeah your gunna get bored of that, but if 3more of your mates have it get it on the sole perpose of Zombie Nazi's its some of the greatist fun multiplayer you'll get.
Contrary to what the other people in this topic have said, it still is a good game with enough differences from 4 to warrant a purchase... if you can take that kind of game again. If you are getting tired of 4, I suggest skipping it. No, it is not as tightly wound as 4 and largely both the weapons and levels in MP aren't as fun to use or play on in WAW then in 4. There still is lots of fun to be had if you are a CoD fan, and I suggest buying it when the price drops.
Meh, W@W is a rental for me personally.
Perhaps this will help:
COD4 > COD: WaW
COD: WaW > any other FPS game other than COD4
So yes, buy it. More COD is more COD.
no, rental only. if you were hooked on cod4 online, you will find codwaw online boring and it has TERRIBLE re-spawning.
Yeah,its a better game,better single player and better perks..
I would say no, because personally I'm done with WWII games and their old ass guns. I mean come on, the Call of Duty series has lasted LONGER than the actual war it's based on. But if you like that kind of stuff don't let me stop you. Although, if you've waited this long you might want to wait for a price drop.
Unless your getting bored with 4, or have alot of friends playing it your probably fine with 4. All my friends got WAW and so did I, 4 just sat on my shelf so I sold it, I really shouldn't have but I don't see myself putting it back in since everyone plays WAW.
The only reason you might want to get it is because Jack Bauer is a voice in story mode. Thats pretty bad ass. Oh and Zombies is fun.
A big fat yes..The perks are better,its got vehicles and its got flamethrowers,its got coop and a better singleplayer campaign,
WaW isn't terrible. In fact, it is a pretty good game. But it is very similar to 4(slightly worse) and not worth your money if you only have some much to spend. I would recommend buying something new and fresh.
I got it for $25 over Steam, and WaW is definitely worth THAT. I dunno about a $50 purchase plus tax for the consoles, though. If you can get it cheap, do it. The singleplayer is what you'd expect from a Call of Duty game, and the multiplayer is a pretty exciting WWII reskin of CoD4 with slightly less grenade/artillery spamming, and doggies!
CoD4 is all you need, I got WaW when it came out and it was a mistake the game shouldn't even belong in the same league as CoD4. I only continue to play it because its all my friends play. And truthfully if you havn't bought it yet don't its not worth it now. Just wait until MW2 because after that comes out your copy of WaW is going to just turn into a paperweight.
gesh, a lot of no's
I own both and love them both. They both offer some different things like COD4 Arcade mode and WaW Zombie mode.
Ultimately its up to you but I would say it is worth having both.
