Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: COD World at War PC Amazon.com Product Description: Call of Duty is back, redefining war like you’ve never experienced before. Building on the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War immerses players into the most gritty and chaotic WWII combat ever experienced. Players band together to survive the most harrowing and climactic battles that led to the demise of the Axis powers on the European and Pacific fronts. The title offers an uncensored experience with unique enemies and combat variety, including Kamikaze fighters, ambush attacks, Banzai charges and cunning cover tactics, as well as explosive on-screen action through the all new four-player cooperative campaign. The addictive competitive multiplayer has also been enhanced with new infantry and vehicle-based action, a higher level cap, more weapons, and a host of new Perks, maps and challenges. Features: New Enemies, Environments and Tactics: Face off against ruthless and tactically advanced enemies that will stop at nothing to defend their homelands, from swamp ambushes and tree-top snipers to fearless Kamikaze attacks. Play as a U.S. Marine and Russian conscript across a variety of Pacific and European locations against the fearless Imperial Japanese and elite German soldiers in epic adrenaline-filled infantry, vehicle and airborne missions. Co-Op Campaign Mode, Call of Duty Style: For the first time in the franchise, Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-op play, bringing fresh meaning to “No One Fights Alone”. Campaign co-op features up to four-players online, or two-player local split-screen, allowing gamers to experience harrowing campaign missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. Co-op mode incorporates innovative multiplayer components such as challenges, rankings and online stats for deeper re-playability and multiplayer experience bonuses. Co-op mode also features Competitive Co-Op that will show who is really the best player on your team. Enhanced Multiplayer: Call of Duty: World at War continues the class-based multiplayer action the series is famous for. The addition of vehicle combat with tanks rounds out the multiplayer experience, and features such as persistent stats, player rankings, upgradeable weapons, squad-based gameplay, customizable classes and Perks, have been further enhanced. The Call of Duty Experience: Call of Duty: World at War utilizes cutting-edge technology including highly-detailed character models, self-shadowing, environmental lighting and amazing special effects to deliver jaw-dropping visuals. Depth of field, rim-lighting and texture-streaming technology bring the adrenaline-pumping combat to life, while physics-enabled battlefields and fire that spreads through environments realistically immerses players into the harrowing and dynamic combat. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - PC Call of Duty: WAW ReviewThe game is great. To my surprise, the sound is also very good. I'm still trying to beat it so I can unlock zombie mode (the only reason I bought this game). Rating: - Really Fun all around shooterThis is a really fun online game with a lot of lasting quality. I have spent A LOT of hours playing this game. The controls are more customizable than some other pc games, like battlefield 2 bc. The single player campaign is very short but the online gameplay is what this game is truly about. I just finished the single player campaign and while it is short it is a great single player. This game has a little bit of something for everyone. You can have pretty much any playing style and be successful, as long as you are skilled- snipe, run and gun, stealth whatever. Great game. Rating: - Dispite flaws the COD series moves aheadI was in awe of the first COD, that received 80 game-of-the-year awards and though none of the subsequent iterations are as quite as good in terms of story and breath (COD2 comes close, imo). COD World at War takes you back to WW II again, but with many upgrades. There's a cinema quality to the missions that sometimes had me stopping and gawking at the quality of the visuals and amount of surrounding action. For example, in the Pacific missions you can see heat streaming off the ground refracting what's behind it. Bullets have more effect on what they hit, like pieces of cement chipping off when hit. NPC rendering is miles ahead of the first COD and is getting close to movie quality. The action is frantic as in previous CODs though the game maps were a little too linear for my tastes. There are some complaints about problems running the game on a PC, but I experienced none (though I do have a beefy machine). I'm also patched up to version 1.5. The game is short, ...

Rating:  - Didn't get past the intro.The introductory movie shows real news footage of people being thrown into a mass grave. The first animated scene is of POW torture. At that point, I turned it off and tossed the disk. I'm hardly a prude, but it just didn't sit right for me to this to be entertainment. |
