Hey guys! I've just finished Call of Duty: World at War on PC (I'm definitely buying this today, and yeah, you know what that means...), and all I want to say is that this game delivers! Call of Duty: World at War is the best Call of Duty out there, period (it is also Treyarch's best game if you ask me).

The single player is really something, and it feels more satisfying compared to CoD 4's. The story is pretty basic for a WWII game, but it's the action that feels really different this time around compared to all previous Call of Duty games. You'll be impressed by what they've done with the various time-events! There are not as many missions to choose from compared to Call of Duty 4, but their length are definitely longer. Everything is new too, you won't see something from CoD 4 here, so you can't say that all Treyarch can do is copy Infinity Ward's work! What I really like about this game compared to the others is the setting. Thanks to the CoD 4 engine, everything looks so damn fine, but the scale is just huge now! It definitely feels like a war zone this time around (fog, smoke, fire, explosions everywhere, etc.). I don't want to say I prefer ''dark'' games, but the extra violence in the game makes everything look more real. I might even add that watching a leg flying is quite satisfying...! War is really ugly, and it shows. I've never really hated the WWII setting, but good job Treyarch on making me love it even more (can you believe it?)!

Oh, grenades and the stupid A.I. are still a bitch like in previous other CoD games! Though, there's probably one thing I hate in the single player. Since the action is just so intense, you'll sometimes die from an explosion coming out of nowhere (it happened twice in the entire single player, so it's not that bad). Also, the music score is well done and fits the mood, but like in previous games, none of them will stick in your head for a while. Sounds are well done, especially when you're near an explosion, but it can't be compared with Battlefield: Bad Company's.

About multiplayer, well, I've already said in my other thread that I already prefer the way everything plays in this game compared to CoD 4. I've been in the two betas (X360 and PC), and I prefer everything about this game. From the maps I've played, they seemed to have made them do something different all the time. One encourages you to use long-range weapons like the sniper, another one motivates you to battle in close-quarters (intense action if you ask me, my favorite!) and the last one encourages you to stay with your team (if you play Team Deathmatch) all the time because it feels like there are two bases in the map. I've checked a few new maps, and the same idea seems to come out of them. I can't wait to try them out for realz! I think the rest is just all improvements from CoD 4: new perks, vehicles, etc. So, it really comes down on what you prefer: old weapons Vs. new weapons, dynamic maps Vs. camper-heavy maps (and yeah, I'm serious about this).

I can't wait to see if Infinity Ward will make a better game next (Call of Duty: Space Warfare? I can only wish!), and competition never hurts (because it really feels like it now)! ;)

This game is looking damn good

good. Shame they had to go and set it in the second World War though.

It's, at least, the definitive World War II experience. I think they wanted to give it one last shot, especially with Infinity Ward's new engine. They've even tweaked it to run better on PCs while still looking great! o_O

I'm not biting quite yet. WW2 is just so overplayed I'm not sure if I can enjoy an amazing game set in that era. I think I'd have more fun playing COD caveman warfare. But I'll see reviews, listen to impressions and go from there but it certainly isn't day one buy for me right now exspecially after all the games I bought. If I buy just one more game it won't be this, it will probably be L4D. And with that, Resistance 2 and Gears 2 I don't see why I'd need another shooter before Killzone 2.

Am I the only one that loves WW2 and hates any FPS based in the middle east? It also gives me more reason to buy both CoD 4 and 5, since the themes are different.

Anyways, I hope you're right about this game being great because I honestly feel it'll be boost to the PS3 since it'll be the first FPS on it with campaign co-op.

Oh yeah, you're right. With my ''copy'', I wasn't able to try LAN co-op play for some weird reason, but I'm sure the experience is going to be great when it finally works! There are many branching paths in various missions anyways, it's perfect for that.

By the way, Kiefer Sutherland's voice is annoying in the game. >_>

How long'd it take you to finish the single player campaign?

Also, I'll miss the red dot sights.

Parasitic,
Resistance Fall of Man had campaign co-op.

Hmmm, I've started playing at 3-4 PM today and finished at around 12 PM on the Regular difficulty setting. I was talking to my roommate while playing the game though, so it might be shorter than 9 hours. It felt longer than CoD 4's campaign at least, that's all I can say. Some levels will be tough in Veteran, that I'm sure!
