From the remains of Russia and the ruins of Berlin, to the beach and jungles of the deadly Pacific Theater, Call of Duty: World at War's campaign gameplay employs features that were only available in multiplayer gameplay in the previous installments. With this title you can take advantage of perks, rankings, and online stats in an up-to-four-player cooperative gameplay that is sure to revolutionize the way you play Call of Duty. And with new infantry and vehicle-based weapons, such as the potent flamethrower, you'll have the tools you need to set the battlefield ablaze and defeat the enemy.



Advanced Enemies, New Environments, and Fearless Tactics
You've never encountered combat challenges like those presented in Call of Duty: World at War. Prepare yourself to face off against ruthless enemies who employ advanced tactics. Your foes will stop at nothing to defend their homelands. With swampy ambushes, tree-top snipers, and fearless Kamikaze attacks, there is no safe place to turn. As U.S. Marine and Russian conscripts, you'll battle against the fearless Imperial Japanese and elite German soldiers in epic infantry, vehicle, and airborne missions across a variety of Pacific and European locations. On foot, behind the wheel, or in the air, you'll have to be relentless to achieve victory.



Cutting-Edge Technology and Physics-Enabled Battlefields
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 best-of-breed visuals. Depth of field, rim-lighting and texture-streaming technology bring the adrenaline-pumping combat to life. And with physics-enabled battlefields and fire that spreads realistically through environments, you'll feel immersed in battles that are both life-like and dynamic.



Cooperative Campaign Mode
For the first time in franchise history, Call of Duty introduces cooperative campaign gameplay, bringing a breath of fresh air to "No One Fights Alone." This gameplay mode allows up to four players to meet and play online, or a two-player local split-screen co-op. Now you can share the terrifying experience of campaign missions with your friends for greater camaraderie and improved tactical execution. Co-op mode also incorporates innovative multiplayer components, such as challenges, rankings and online stats, and even features a competitive co-op mode that will identify the best player on your team.



Improved Online Multiplayer Action
Call of Duty: World at War once again delivers sophisticated, class-based, online multiplayer action that has made the series famous. New additions include vehicle combat with tanks, and Call of Duty: World at War rounds out the multiplayer experience with improved features, such as persistent stats, player rankings, upgradeable weapons, squad-based gameplay, customized classes, enhanced perks, and more.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great game
i bought this game for my son and he loves it.him and his dad shares the xbox games.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Day 1 Edge sucks!
Just a foreword, this is my review of one of what this Collector's edition promises to deliver, and that is the Day 1 Edge.

What enticed me to get this collector's edition was the Day 1 edge. But it's a big disappointment. The FG42 gun is indeed available from Level 1, but only in the pre-made Machine Gunner class, and cannot be customized with perks and all. The gun in this class doesn't have the stopping power perk, which cannot be changed. The FG42 has a high rapid fire and small clip, and empties in about a second. Without stopping power, you would need the whole clip to kill. This leaves you no room for any bit of mistake. If any of your bullets miss on that burst and your target turns to you, then you're pretty much doomed, because by now, you're holding on a gun with an empty clip. Also, facing an advanced enemy player that knows how to move from side to side, means you're dead too if you can't put all those bullets in. Imagine too how you would deal a situation where you encounter more than one enemy. This means a reload after killing one, and you probably could guess already how this would end.

Bottom line, if you mostly care about getting this edition due to the Day 1 Edge, then just forget about it. I hope this review is helpful.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Best World War II shooter ever.
Great game. No it is not Modern Warfare. But it is also, not COD 3 either. Multiplayer is still fun and addictive, and you will not be disappointed.




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Worth picking up regular edition if you can find a deal
The only thing worth while in the collectors edition is the Double XP which plays as a game type (Officers Club). You can bring a game party with too so everyone can enjoy double xp which helps fill game types, but you will still have issues finding matches on off hours (Nobody bought collectors basically). The double xp only happens when the company feels like putting it up and so far I've seen it twice. So I'd be wary about buying the collectors at this point since you can't redeem the code to get Double XP at any time you feel like it.

The Canteen is a joke, you can't drink from it. The top is either glued or welded on. It wouldn't surprise me if the canteen contains lead since it is made in China and that is why they don't want you drinking from it.

Early level FG42 access as a preset class you can't edit perks or anything, so it is as good as worthless.

Tin game case is over sized and looks pretty cool but it's just a case.

Overall the game is enjoyable, graphics/audio, plenty of maps, weapons, tank fun. The single player is excellent and 4 player co-op is worth buying the game alone. There is also a bonus co-op game type zombie mode where you fight off Nazi Zombies wave after wave that is a ton of fun. Regular multiplayer though will keep you replaying the game so it has plenty of replay value.

The biggest gripe though I have with online game play is hit boxes & hit detection. If you played Call Of Duty 4 it is painfully obvious how different/off it is at times but you can adjust to it. Toss in the map glitches and some bugs that the company is slow to update, it will at times make you yell out WTF and get you worked up a bit but that might just be me.

With all these complaints I still like the game and feel it is worth picking up, but I'm pretty biased to World War II themed games and prefer them to modern combat. I'd recommend getting the regular version on sale or lower price and avoid collectors edition because it is simply not worth it.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Game
This game is a great follow up to Cod 4. Hopefully unlike Cod 4 the new organizers of Cod 5 actually add things to the online gameplay. In Cod 4 nothing ever really changed. But over all the game is terrific. My only problem with the collectors edition is that the flask does not open.
