Multiplayer

For the first time in the franchise, World at War will feature cooperative gameplay for up to four players via split-screen (on consoles) or four players online. It will also use a perk system similar to CoD4 and will make use of player-controlled vehicles similar to Call of Duty 3. With support for up to 18 players, the game will also feature an updated party system, which will include the ability to create private parties. The game will level cap at 65, as opposed to 55 for Call of Duty 4, and will have 10 prestige levels. For each prestige level you go through it will reward you with a new slot for creating a class.

Treyarch have also announced a cooperative zombie survival mode within World at War that is unlocked after players complete the single player mode.  It places the 4 players into a deserted house which is attacked in large waves by undead Nazis.  With each kill, players earn points which can then be used to either buy new weapons and equipment or use it to attempt to fortify the house with barricades such as furniture and boards for windows.  Treyarch also revealed that there is no end to the amount of waves that assault the house and that the studios personal best was to survive until wave 23.  On a further note, each player can only sustain 2 attacks from the zombies before they fall to their death.  This very limited health system is questionable only because in the campaign and multiplayer, players can take massive amounts of damage before they bit the dust.

Kill Streak Rewards

• 3 kills: Recon Plane- This functions identical to the UAV in Call of Duty 4, it gives you a radar for 30 seconds.
• 5 kills: Mortar Strike- This is similar to an airstrike in Call of Duty 4, although it concentrates on one place instead of doing a sweep of terrain. Being caught in the vicinity of an airstrike will also disorient you, even if it is a friendly airstrike.
• 7 kills: Attack Dogs- This reward summons a pack of attack dogs for your team that will seek out enemy players and attack them for a set time limit. These dogs can be killed with almost any weapon in the game, but they come in a pack and move fast. If the dogs are killed, they will respawn and continue attacking until the time limit runs out. A tactical advantage of the dogs is that you can follow them to find the enemy.
