Thanks for your contribution. Any specific reason why it's sh1t or are you looking for a trollin' on a friday nite?

What a pointless post. I've played it in Solo and Competitve Co-op with a mate and think it's really good. It's no real progression from COD 4 but it's still great. If you liked COD 4 and are hungry for more then you'll be right at home with this. The Co-op mode was great fun. the maps I played in Multiplayer were quite impressive but haven't really played enough of it to form a full opinion of the maps yet. The multiplayer is just a continuation of COD4 so it's good. Very happy with it so far and think it may take the place of COD4 for me.

SP = Epic.
mp = same as every other cod, good stuff.
Can't say it's better of worse than previous ones yet though.

Guys I'm sick of getting Reported Posts because of abuse.

It's only a game! Chill out and stop abusing people! Respect other people's opinions even if they differ from yours.

Play nice!

challengemaster

Personally I think the graphics are complete crap, especially compared to CoD4 atleast going by the beta.. not sure if I'll even bother buying it

edit: PC version, high settings

jonski

Really for anyone to get an idea , you need to post what format you are playing it on .

Borderfox

Just got it today for PC and it plays like a dog, COD 4 plays really well on the laptop but the new one goes like a snail.

Hoki

Iv been playing it all day on the PS3 , its hard to compare it to COD 4 because the weapons arent as advanced as they are in Cod 4 , however , its good for what it is .
Dont like the way you have to constantly reload but il just have to get used to it , calling in the dogs is a cool feature but its pretty easy to kill them so they arent really as effective as the helicopter in cod 4 .
One thing i cant seem to find during online multiplayer mode is my stats compared to my friends on the leaderboard , it has my friends on it but not mine which is quite annoying .

Br4tPr1nc3

everyones lookin at it as a progression from cod4,

its more a progression form cod2 with elements of cod4 used.

i think its a good game.
feels more like world war 2 than cod 2.

Nedved85

Havent played the single player yet, but the multyplayer so far is pretty good in my opinion, yeh the guns are not as advanced as COD4 but its still a good game and worth the purcase if you liked COD 4, especially at 45€

Kazuma

Yeah, noticed how the shops in dublin seem to be trying to make this vanish off the shelves with a price that low...
Having played the multiplayer more than most of the people here (beta tester, wooh), I preferred it to 4...and I had clocked up DAYS on CoD4...
The maps, for me, anyway, have more freedom for actual tactics, flanking and such, so it's more fun for competetive team play.

And personally I found that the guns in 4 just got stupid in multiplayer, became a competition about who had the biggest automatic.

Edit - And nazi zombies is fu*king class.

Lukker-

It's awful. Overuse of gore in SinglePlayer to try and give it an 'adult' feel. Incredibly linear. MP, relies on gimmicks to pull you in. Nothing new considering they had 2 years to develop the game and they already had the engine ready.

Slippin Jimmy

Just picked up a copy of this today. Haven't gotten around to playing it yet because my xbox won't connect to live, and I want to update the firmware (haven't played it in a while). I still have it in it's wrapping. I've heard some very mixed views on it. I am thinking of returning it at the moment, but then again I might not ever know if it was good or not.

What hype? From the moment it was announced Treyarch were developing it the game has been slated, with people going as far as saying they were boycotting it and pretending it didn't exist.

Personally I like it. It does exactly what you'd expect it to and it looks great to boot.

HYPE its going to be the best selling game this christmas

From playing the three multiplayer maps in the Beta the game certainly showed great promise, so I was really looking forward to getting CoD WAW on PC. Going back to WW II with the CoD4 engine and architecture is completely ok in my book. Once the game plays true to its CoD roots the setting is of secondary importance in my opinion.

Got the game on Friday (14/11) and have been playing it ever since. Really enjoying the co-op and multi-player levels, it is similar in ways to CoD 2, but is far far better both in terms of the gameplay and the impressive if brutal graphics. If CoD3 & CoD4 never existed, this would be an outstanding follow-up in the series. The co-op mode is a winner, the game-play with friends is really enjoyable.

All good until today, problem connecting to the online service.
Error message: 'Cannot connect to online service' so no retrieving the hard-earned profile.

Thought it might be the BB as NTL/UPC is really bad lately but a quick google shows many others across Europe having the same problem.

Its early doors so we'll see what the problem is and if it improves in due course but if it is an existing problem it really should have been ironed out long ago with the Beta. Treyarch have done a good job with the game but this has the potential to really let them down.

Again, where was this hype? That's the first I heard of it and considering all the other games that have been out over the last couple of weeks, this has been completely overshadowed publicity wise.

As a big fan of COD4, I was looking forward to playing WAW. Bought the game on Friday for Xbox and I have to say it's pretty disappointing. It's not that its a particularly bad game, just that its distinctly average in almost every way. I haven't played much of the SP mode so I can't really comment on that but so far as the MP mode goes, the graphics are poor, the maps aren't great and the spawning is an absolute nightmare! I've lost count of the amount of times someone materialises right in front of your eyes just waiting to get shot.

Anyone else agree??

chrisp2281

This is a savage game. It's apity they're are not more levels but apart from that, I think the graphics are really good. The online play is better then COD 4. I thinkit's great.

I have to disagree. I havn't really noticed the spawning being to bad. I've only seen once or twice where someone spawns in front of me waiting to get shot. But that happened in COD 4 as well. I like the maps. I just wish there was more of them but I'm sure they will bring out an upgrade soon with mroe levels

ScumLord

I've only being playing the single player may give multiplayer a go this evening. The single player is ok, more of the same but COD was a winning formula so I'm not to upset about that. The pace of the game is relentless (I'm not sure how far in I am, I've only played for a few hours but I get the horrible feeling I could be coming to the end of it) there's absolutely no tense action in it from what I can see it's just push, push, kill, kill. Bit OTT and predictable at times.

I'm a bit sick of shooters like this though. Ones where people don't get hurt by bullets but will die if you unload enough bullets into them. I want to see more operation flashpoint type games.

I like the layout of the new maps, its a lot more frantic and action packed on MP now compared to COD4. Not taking away from COD4 MP however, that's just brilliant in its own right as well.

If you look at the game for 5 minutes maybe so. I mod and map for COD for a while now i can tell you that graphically COD:WW is way ahead of COD5, most of the texture used are 2048*2048 -- ok its not 4096*4096 Crysis has but its double what most COD4 textures were.

To top this up you have a lot more player models in use with again higher details on the texturing and lots of animations have been done on this game. Water now has its on physic engine and has refraction to light and a wave system (for the sea). Fire has also been re-worked from COD4 althought i would agree that its not all that noticeable.

As I was saying at first if you start stopping and looking around you, you should notice the details, check out the moving foliages/trees or burning wood. FXs have been used also to a great extend and finally the fog system now is volumetric (as opposed to exponential in COD4, meaning it takes les FPS and has better feel to it).

Do the SP until the end and it should changed your mind, providing you like rthe WW2 setting. The Reichstag level is a work of Art with a level of details really really good.

I am not saying COD:WW is perfect, far from it, there are Sound issues (too weak), installation issues, Co-op connections failing atm and the fact that the AI still is very silly, but overall it is better than COD4 on many points.

Give the game a chance!

[FONT=&quot]Hype is the wrong word, controversy maybe over changing the developers and seeing if they can deliver, publicity in magazines, I would say the developers won’t hype it up but if they don’t make the sales TV will be covered in ads for cod waw this Christmas, I think they have raped ww2 games and just getting sick of it [/FONT]

I find the sp mode alright, nothing to write home about - mp is brilliant though; takes the best elements of 2 and 4 and combines them.
It's weaned me off fallout - it has to be good!

Well if anyone, for some reason owns WW but not COD4 on the PC and doesn't like it, I would gladly trade.

Surely the sound "issues" are the same on console?! I mean the PS3 and XboX360 are basically PCs and the game code is the same right?

Captain Slow IRL, have you played both CoD4 and CoD:WW? Isn't it obvious that the sound provides you with absolutely no information what-so-ever in CoD:WW?

Rubbish!! I can still hear peoples footsteps the exact same as COD4...this is nit-picking of a high order!

Just enjoy what is a "decent" game ffs!!!

I'm sorry but the sound gives you no feedback what-so-ever in WaW... In CoD4 if somebody farts at the opposite end of the map you can pinpoint his location accurately. In WaW the guy runs right next to you and you haven't got a clue where the dude is... Useless sound!

Haven't noticed any problems with the sound on PC.

the grenades are the same. when u throw it any distance your left paranoid as to whether it was a dud or not. thats on ps3 aswell, not just pc. its still brilliant though.

heebusjeebus

Cant say I have a problem with my sound. Then again, my volume goes up to 11

Captain Slow IRL

I can't fault the sound either - I've been able to pick up on people trying to sneak up on me, sometimes too late, but can't complain yet!
I'm only using the speakers built into the tv, ain't using a sophistimicated surround sound setup.

EDIT - Actually noticed the lack of explosion's when dispensing grenades earlier, very bad sometimes.

IgsTer

Yeah there is definetly a crap use of sound for sure..every sound in-game even the more important ones like explosions, gun shots and footsteps are echoed around the map and yourself so as said you dont get any info from it to determine where its coming from..this probably wouldnt make a difference on the console as its a bit more of an arcade type gameplay or if you dont have 5.1 or better..but its definetly there and i think the reason they didnt include an option to turn the sound occlusion off which is at the source of the problem like they did in the single player is to make the game more newcomer friendly so they wont get annoyed and stop playing

but at least on the pc a mod can fix this which im sure many will

Yeah promod is the one mod for sure that is trying to remove it from the game..i havent got a chance to play it yet..but from thier earlier report of changes they listed these

Sound occlusion/attenuation removed
Sound realdelay removed

which are supposedly at the core of this problem..if it works which i think it might do..i cant see why other mod makers would leave them in..

and yes they can be tweaked in game but are cheat protected in the standard release which is a shame as thats what most people play unless playing competitively..

i think you can try them out yourself though by making a mp server in-game..heres a good article on the sound issue in WaW and also how you can test it out yourself with the sound changes..

http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=427&Itemid=108

but yeah its a shame they had to actually cheat-protect these dvars..would have definetely been a better game if they allowed them to be changed in the standard version

Steffano2002

Thanks for that IgsTer! Great article!

I tried doing this myself:

If you want to see the difference between stock CoD:WW and modded (with sound occlusion off), try this:

Run CoD:WW

Open up the console and type

/devmap mp_roundhouse

This will launch the game in developer mode. You can select any map you would like to try...I've chosen roundhouse.

Now, type the two commands above

/snd_losOcclusion "0"
/snd_global_attenuation "0"

Go into the game and try firing weapons.

The difference is day and night. I almost blew my ears off firing the Arisaka.

The sound was so much better! Unfortunately I can't test it with someone else to see how other soldiers moving around would sound like but it sounds a hell of a lot better anyway!
