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.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Fun game, but not worth the price...
Having played all of the previous Call of Duty games, and considering how much fun I had with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, I thought that this game would be great. Let me make this simple. This game is fun, the online game play is entertaining and there seem to be no major flaws with the game. For me, World at War seems like a good mod for the Modern Warfare platform. That is that while the game is fun, it feels like they just took the Modern Warfare engine and added some new maps and skins. The game doesn't feel like it was a long process of creation or that the developers spent much time at all on the game. Comparing this game to Modern Warfare, it is nowhere near as smooth of a game. The online game play seems jerky and the single player AI seems to be fighting you the whole game. In short, I don't think this game is worth the asking price.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - CoD:WaW
Great shipping time, and I currently live in South Korea, product was here a day before estimated. Wonderful game, If you like CoD:4 or Day of Defeat you will love this game. The Collector's Edition let you start out with the FG42, a weapon that you don't unlock until level 45, a huge advantage from the get go. Even though the week of double experience is over I would still recommend buying the Collector's Edition.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great game! Needs bugfixes as of December 2008
Very fun sequel to the Call of Duty Series. I am an avid fan of the CoD series and this one delivers! The Single Player on PC, is slightly buggy but I am sure Treyarch will work these out. The Co-Op is amazing as well as the Multiplayer. Do not listen to the other people who complain about pricing or bugs. Bugs can be fixed.

CoD Fans - A Must Buy!


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Just buy the standard version
I got this game the day it came out, but the store only had the collector's edition. I usually don't splurge on the "collector's edition" of anything, but decided to give it a try, mainly for the special weapon and week of double XP.

First off, the tin is ok, but nothing special. The flask is a joke. As others have mentioned, it's welded shut... totally useless, even as a paperweight.

The game itself - I haven't played single player all the way through. I'd say it's average from what I've seen... nothing special there.

Most people will buy this for the multiplayer. First thing after install, you have to download a patch before you can even play online.

After that, this game is basically COD4 with a WWII theme. They did incorporate the prestige ranking this time and vehicle perks are now available, but that's most of what's new.

Finding a game online is frustrating... when you select a server from the list, the game will attempt a connection and then invariably fail. I found that if you then (re)select your online profile, then look at your ranks and challenges or customize your weapons, within a few minutes it will reconnect to the server. If you go back and try to connect to the game server, it will connect (if it's not full, etc...)
I'm sure patches to fix this are coming.... someday.

TIP: When you find a good sever, add it to the favorites. I never seem to have these problems when connecting to servers in my favorites.

As others have said, you can't customize the kit with the FG42 until you unlock it at lvl 42.

Have not gotten my codes to work... the website says invaild code.

Probably the biggest gripe I have is that respawns are not "intelligent". I will respawn and then an opponent will respawn behind me and gun me down, or I will respawn right in the middle of several opponents with no time to react. This is no different than COD4 and is more a matter of personal preference, although I don't mind so much when opponents spawn in front of me. :)

Overall, online multiplayer is good, single player is average, but the extra paid for the "collector's edition" extras was not worth it. Stick to the regular edition.





Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - What were they thinking?
I buy nearly all my games from Amazon (along with everything else mind you), so this review is no reflection on Amazon. Amazon has always treated me well. I've been invited to review products before by Amazon, but this is the first time I feel compelled to do so. With that said, all I can say about this game is "WEAK". Very "WEAK". I've purchased about every shooter out there (mostly from Amazon) , and I really expected more out of this. COD World at War is so scripted, so linear, and so predictable it is a shame. How do you totally screw up the weapons sounds this bad? How do you do it? This game is so linear it makes PacMan look like Far Cry (Far Cry fans will know what I am talking about). And as mentioned before by other reviewers, the flask is phony as well.

I dunno this game just reeks of "B" team effort at best.

11/19/08 An update. Ok, I was a little harsh at first. I have to give CODWaW good marks for "battle immersion effort". Forget the weapon sounds, but fix the AI and the linear bit and you got a decent game.

BTW- you can get a decent flask here:
