    I wondered which one you guys thought has the best multiplayer. In my opinion world at war does because the weapons take a bit more skill to use and i quite like the war game mode

    I prefer COD4. I felt it had better maps and weapons.
    I just thought Treyarch did a copy, paste, edit job on COD:WAW.
    Plus, I fricken hate those goddamn dogs!

    Call of Duty 4 hands down. Infinity Ward knows how to make a great game, while Treyarch gets a free ride off of Infinity Ward's hard work and dedication. The only reason why World at War is selling well is the simple fact that people are bored of Call of Duty 4 and need something to tide them over till the real next Call of Duty game comes out.

     Personaly I am not a big fan of boths multiplayer  but I would say CoD4 as a modern setting is more interesting and the guns are better.

    I like the dogs better than the heli, but overall I find CoD 4 to be a better experience.

    They fixed that, but it's hard to tell when your riding on that COD4 bandwagon. ;-)

    You said it perfectly. It was PAINFULLY clear what was Treyarch's original work and what was simply plaigerism from IW. Treyarch took all of the challenges, modes, and basic multiplayer interface from IW and added shit maps, fucking tanks, and fucked up spawn points.

    BUT AT LEEZT IT STILL HAS NAZZZZIIIIIII ZOMBIES AMIRITE?!!?!?!?

    You want a zombie game? Left for FUCKING Dead!

    It depends on the play style you prefer in your multiplayer games.  For spray 'n' pray and 'nade spams with mostly automatic weaponry and really good maps, I would suggest CoD4.  For accuracy-based action and 'nade spams with mostly bolt-action weaponry, shitty Nazi Zombies mode, and decent maps, I would go for W@W.


    Really, the two are almost night and day in terms of gameplay techniques...at least from what I see.  Personally, I would pick CoD4 solely because there seems to be a bit more color in that game than the brown, black, and gray of W@W.

    I didn't like how there was no ragdoll effect when I kill someone in the game, it makes it seem like you really did blow the fuck out of them as they flop onto the ground, maybe I'm just being hard headed, the game isn't horrible just not for me, to many L33T people online also.

    i agree they totally screwed half the maps up when they decided to add tanks. if ur gonna put vehicles in an online FPS then make them good or just dont do it. its really not cool in WaW because on several of the maps ( roundhouse in particular ) most people cannot go to the center structure and pretty much cant leave the little side alley ways without getting there limbs taken off by some tank. @Pie said:

    i agree with Pie. the whole customization thing was revolutionary and really added depth to the came since there are so many ways you make ur character.

    Modern Warfare used the same exact multiplayer component as World at War, did it better, and is a year older than World at War. Tough choice for me.

    If you guys want me to give my HONEST opinion, neither CoD4 or W@W can even compare to CoD2's brilliance of multiplayer and well-built maps.  Regardless, this isn't about CoD2.  This is about CoD4 vs W@W.  As I said before, CoD4 wins and it is SOLELY based on a better presence of color in the world (which isn't by much) as well as superior maps.  Other than that, I can do without the spray 'n' pray bullshit.  I'll take accuracy-based bolt action anyday.


    And CL60, I am right on point with you.  I don't see where all the hate and "OH, W@W ISN'T AS GOOD AS COD4" bullshit comes from.  Bunch of whiny fucking brats pissed off because they can't be invincible with an OP kit, Last Stand is weaker, and Martyrdom has a lower range.  OH BOO FUCKETY HOO!!! 

    One of the big reasons I play Old School mode nowadays:  no perks, no sprinting, no bullshit.  Just Call of Duty the way it's SUPPOSED to be!!!
