Call of Duty: World at War

Leave your packs and bring extra ammo, as Activision and Treyarch announced that they will be taking Call of Duty players deep into the South Pacific and European theaters this fall for Call of Duty: World at War, a gritty fight that will pit players against enemies that know no surrender and show no mercy.

Utilizing the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War throws out the rulebook of war to transform WWII combat through a new enemy, new tactics and an uncensored experience of the climatic battles that gripped a generation. As U.S. Marines and Russian soldiers, players will employ new features like cooperative gameplay, and weapons such as the flamethrower in the most chaotic and cinematically intense experience to date.

"With Call of Duty: World at War, we're re-defining what it means to play a WWII game," said Mark Lamia, Studio Head for Treyarch. "We're excited to give players a host of new enemies that employ entirely new tactics, as well as new, groundbreaking tools : like co-op and the flamethrower : to succeed in the epic fight."

Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-operative play, bringing fresh meaning to the "No One Fights Alone" mantra with up to four-players online for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, or two-player local split-screen on consoles. Nintendo Wii will also support a unique co-op mode for two players. For the first time ever players will experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. The co-op campaign allows players to rank up and unlock perks in competitive multiplayer by completing challenges and earning experience points, adding continuous re-playability and team-based gameplay. Whether playing competitively or cooperatively : if players are online with Call of Duty: World at War : they will always gain experience points. Based on a player's experience rank and rank of the player's friends, Call of Duty: World at War will scale dynamically to provide a deeper level of challenge.

Call of Duty: World at War is in development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and Windows PC. The title is scheduled for release this fall.

  This game looks amazing. I personally doesn't like FPS genre, but I do love this game. But I have finally got my PC good enough to run Call of Duty 4, I wonder how much more money I got to spent to play 5.

  ^ Not much is the answer. This one is utilising the same engine used to make COD4 so expect roughly the same graphical push on your pc. I, personally, am not really looking forward to this one. I never really liked the WWII games, especially the ones made by Treyarch, but I'm open minded. Hopefully we'll get a demo on the 360 for me to judge whether or not I'll give it a go. That was one of the reasons I picked up COD4 although it took ages for my beta key to come through.
