Seems an awesome addition on top of Co-op and multiplayer. Guess their trying to combat Left 4 Dead.
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.

"Even this can't save that game."
But +1 anyway to Treyarch for putting this in. Left 4 Dead > WaW (now isn't that a weird comparison?)
Awesome!
I don't understand all of the World at War/Treyarch bashing. Call of Duty 3 wasn't as bad as a lot of people claim it is. It was a solid game. World at War, which is based on the Call of Duty 4 engine and has been in development for two years, is going to be a really solid game. I expect it will be just as good, if not better, than Call of Duty 4.
"Awesome!You apparently haven't played it.

"AndrewGaspar said:No... are you basing this off the beta? I'd imagine it probably runs like shit and is unbalanced in the beta. That's why they do the beta. They want to fix all of the problems before the game is released."Awesome!You apparently haven't played it."

"No... are you basing this off the beta? I'd imagine it probably runs like shit and is unbalanced in the beta. That's why they do the beta.

They definitely do not have time to fix even 1/4 of the glaring issues that make the game bad before it goes gold, if it hasn't gone gold already. And I doubt they would bother patching it up if it doesn't sell as well as Activision wants, and it probably won't. There are fundamental problems with the game's design itself that balancing couldn't fix.

There's more people buying games than the people you see posting on video game forums...
It will sell well, it will probably not meet Activision's projections (which are undoubtedly inflated, although slightly subdued, from last year's due to a combination of new releases). The game has turned a ton of people off from the beta, and word of mouth spreads, combined with the aforementioned new releases.
What's with this of adding zombie mini games as of now? Not that it's a bad thing, but adding zombie mini games to games that have nothing to do with zombies is just weird to me. It looks pretty nice but I'll take Left 4 Dead.

2. They've stated that they're planning to support the title with downloadable content.
3. Left4Dead isn't an original concept. (It's been done before, maybe not commercially but still). Stop being a cunt. (By that I mean fanboy, stop being so overly sensitive too, Jesus).
I'm looking forward to seeing how this game turns out. :D

I don't have a problem with a developer adding more content to their games... What the hell is wrong with you people?! Get over the fact that it isn't Ultra Realistic Modern Warfare. If I wanna do that I'll go play CoD4...
"I don't have a problem with a developer adding more content to their games... What the hell is wrong with you people?! Get over the fact that it isn't Ultra Realistic Modern Warfare.

I'll pass buddy.. Sorry for offending you?
P.S. Samurai Jack FTW!!
I love how everyone that complains about what people say about this game not standing up to Cod4 and kinda being disappointed are the ones that have not played it at all. Get this straight - The 'beta' is not a beta, if anything changes from that beta, it won't be all that much at all. The game is coming out in less than 3 weeks...I'm giving it a rent for a co-op playthrough and will at least try this mode...but I'll take Left4Dead over it in a second. Also, for whoever it was that said "what I've seen makes this hand in hand or better than Cod4" I can only tell you, be prepared to be disappointed then.
"That's awesome. This game is going to be a lot of fun. "+1 for positive post!
At least DOUBLESHOCK isn't jaded like the rest of us...
Honestly stop thinking any of us that say anything negative about this are wrong when you haven't even played the 'demo'....secondly though, Gears 2 's Horde mode,regardless of the circumstances, that type of co-op gametype is welcome in any kind of shooter...you say that as if they invented this shit, I'm glad they are doing it and I hope more games do it, ones that are actually good though. If you're gonna claim this is ripping off Horde mode though, then I guess horde mode is obviously just a rip off of Terrorist Hunt from R6, so get over it...if more shooters actually had a seperate co-op gametype, ones that were good at least..it would really help with replay value, especially if their competitve online isn't the most interesting.
"AndrewGaspar said:The beta wasn't bad at all. It was pretty much did Call of Duty 4 with WWII weapons. I don't know what you were expecting."No... are you basing this off the beta?

I'm surprised that some people still think the retail game is going to be drastically different from the demo. I'm predicting that it's going to be exactly the same, people - the game is done. Just because Treyarch hasn''t announced that it has gone Gold doesn't mean the game isn't finished.
The final game will be the same as this so-called "beta", just you watch. There may be a patch a few weeks or months down the road, but again, don't expect any major changes. Holding onto some false hope that World At War will somehow magically become a perfectly polished COD4-like experience upon release is just delusional in my opinion.
Far from even opinion, its a fact. I'm not saying it won't be a 'decent' game, and as I've stated several times, I'll give it a rent for some co-op at least...its just not gonna be simply "Cod4 in WWII" which so many people want to try to make it out to be, that would be giving it a huge compliment...and everyone that seems to think this hasn't played the 'beta', and if they still think it after that, they try to stress that its a 'beta', when its not. Pretty much everyone I know that has played it, and even the response from different game reviewers playing previews of it and stuff, pretty much everyone, after playing this has gone back to Cod4..even if they weren't playing it much at the time before, just because it doesn't even come close to holding up next to it.
