Call of Duty: World at War

[Ant10708]

Comes out soon. Anyone interested in it? I loved Call of Duty 4(excellent single player and fun multi) so I'm looking forward to this one.

[darkvare]

nah the world war 2 setting is boring to me now

[MattJack]

I agree with darkvare.

I really was hoping that WW2 FPSs were soon becoming a thing of the past

I'm still going to buy this though

[Dimnos]

I feel the same about he WW2 setting but from the videos I have seen it doesnt look to be the same old played out stuff. Ill be picking it up.

[VaporTrailx1]

They need to make a WW1 game. It would be interesting. Or actually make a Vietnam game that's worth playing other than BF:Vietnam of course.

[pac-man]

I'm right there with everybody who's bored of WWII settings. COD4 is damn near perfect anyway.

[MetalMilitia]

CoD5 has zombies.

[pac-man]

Yeah, but that's what Wolfenstein is for.

[Ant10708]

That zombie trailer actually looks really cool.

I also read that instead of getting a helicopter with 7 straight kills you now get a pack of german shepherds that you can give basic commands to.

[darkvare]

yeah i heard that and apparently people who played the beta hated it

[MattJack]

any reasons why they hated it?

[pac-man]

The hands-on impressions from a couple gaming websites have been pretty positive. It's built off of COD4's engine. It's the setting that turns me off. Out of all the wars they could've picked why go back to the WWII well again?

[MetalMilitia]

To be fair the war in the pacific is the least covered of the WW2 theatres, and one of the more interesting.

[VaporTrailx1]

Maybe come up with some new completely off the wall conflict concepts.

Maybe do an FPS in the setting of Shattered Union? Or Maybe like a Fulda Gap '85 or something.Or how about an Antarctic war (theoretically there is potentially a substantial amount of oil there)? Or if all else fails we can go with the the old stand by, aliens. Call of Duty : Worlds at War?

[Ant10708]

So are you going to be able to play each level with zombies instead of soldiers or is it just a few maps specfically for zombies?

[the_owen]

Ill admit the whole world war 2 things old but still, German shepards cant complain with that.

[Zomboid]

Haven't played it, but it sounds fun. I prefer WWII settings to any other war settings. It's just got the most interesting locales, IMO. A vietnam game would be boring as fuck cause it would just be a lot of hiding in jungles and rice paddies. WWI might be fun but there's less diversity in guns and I get the feeling that there'd be a lot of running from mustard gas and hiding in trenches (if it were the least bit accurate). Stuffing wads of urine soaked cotton up your nose would be an interesting gameplay concept though, I guess.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Maybe if we have some new wars out there we wouldn't be in this mess.

[Zomboid]

They should pretend RED DAWN actually happened and make a game out of that.

[King Hadas]

They were doing some pretty cool shit in Africa during WWI, otherwise that war was probably to depressing to make a fun game out of, same thing with Vietnam.

The Nazis were evil as hell and literally trying to take over the world which gives the player a pretty clear goal on how to proceed. WWI Germans weren't exactly cool dudes but other than breaking gentlemanly conducts of war they really weren't any worse than anyone else fighting at the time (most of the horror in WWI was caused by stubbornness and incompetence).

The Vietnam War might be interesting to play from the point of view of a Vietnamese soldier, though that would be pretty disrespectful to are Nam veterans.

[Zhukov]

Battlefield Bosnia would be nice.

[DeadKennedys]

The only reason I won't buy this is cause it's not being developed by the CoD 4 team. For some reason they gave it to the mooks who made CoD 3.

I may buy it just for the awkwardness value of playing it with my girlfriend, who is Japanese xD "C'mon baby, Banzai charge, do it!"

I WILL NOT FAIL YOU, WOLVERINES!

[VaporTrailx1]

Well,they sort of made 2 Red Dawn related games. Freedom Fighters, and World In Conflict, although you could see World in Conflict as more of the conventional side-story taking place along side of the Wolverine's guerrilla campaign. I'd like to see a Red Storm Rising, complete ground campaign in a style which combines FPS and real time strategy, sort of like Quake Wars, but probably more like an advanced version of Battlezone 2.

How about a game that centers around armor for once? Like an all-tank game instead of an on-foot fps. Just do every tank battle of the Gulf War. Throw in the bulldozer assault and The Battle of Medina Ridge.

iiheard somewhere that the beta goes free tomorrow or whatever
