Why the hate for COD WaW?

I think this will be as good as it's predecessor if not better. There will be more maps, more game types, more weapons and more perks. Don't be cruel give the game a chance.

The idea of playing Capture the Flag should be enough to get excited in my book.

Which is it for you? A must buy or pass?

Simple. It's just a rip off of cod 2 and 4.Danieldbest

Well if those are (especially 4) considered the best games in the series, I don't see why that's a bad thing?

IT's not bad but its annoying because it feels like a map pack and a gun pack! Doen't seme worth 6o bucks! Ater a few matches it will feel to similar and get stale!

I watched some online gameplay footage, yes it looked like COD4 (gameplay wise) but still got me excited. Seeing those dogs chase after you, hearing those S.S. talking crap with their accents. Zombie German soldiers.

What made Cod4 a hit was not only modern warfare aspect, but the ranking system and the perks. Since we have all those with the new installment I am really looking forward to the newer approaches in this game such as on and off-line co-op.

I'll probably check it out as I'm not happy with Socom at all. Still, after putting so much time into COD4, I wish you'd get a little bonus for your character for World at War.... I know it's not the same game, but a badge or something would be nice.

It's WWII.

It could have the greatest innovation we've ever seen in video games and no one would really care.

It's not really hate, it's just apathy.

Well if this was built with the same aspect of "modern warfare" like COD4, nothing would have changed except the region of the world that you fought on. The weapons, perks, attachements everything would have to be the same. If you wanted to make these more modern then you'd have to turn the game into sci-fi shooter. (a killzone clone maybe) So as a sidenote I really am looking forward to what extent can they go with this "modern warfare" thing.

Besides I don't remember playing a COD game that took place in the Pacific front before.

Yeah, I remember I didn't want this game. Soon as I got invited into the beta on 360...BOY! did it change my mind. Just like CoD 4, but just a different setting.

Anyone that likes COD 4, I highly suggest you get it.

It is boring because it is always the same thing. They just comboed cod2 and cod4.

Let's just say that they remade COD2 using the COD4 engine and maybe added a few stuff.

Treyarch have a bad rep amongst gamers. Ever since COD3 came out, it was a HUGE dissappointment and their reputation has been tarnished ever since.

This game uses the same engine as COD4, so it will look very similar, just the soldiers will have different costumes and different guns...no worth the purchase IMO.

i don't get it why u all hate world war II i mean it's better thyan modern warfare. I want a WWII these days , i don't know why but i just do

The problem is, it's a year after COD4. If the new COD is only as good as COD4, then it's not really as good a year after. WHere's the innovation? Where's the next big wow?

If every freaking game is only as good as the best game ever made 10 years ago, we won't even see all the good games today. Game needs to evovle as people's expectation gets higher and higher.

It feels like a WW2 mod for COD4.sh4yo

I agree. It has seriously ticked me off. I really enjoyed Call of duty 4 but in the future i want a different and improved game. I was looking at some videos of the beta on the 360 and i noticed that all it was, was a world war 2 version of cod 4.

Everything is the same as call of duty 4. I watched some one get an achievement. Guess what, it was one of the ones of cod4. They even fall over when they die just like on cod 4.

I am shocked. and not in a good way. I wont be getting it.

So, you're saying a sequel to a game is a rip off of a prequel.

I don't know... I just read a review of the game and I think I'm hooked. The perk system is pretty sweet and I think they adapted it well for the WWII era. You can get flack jackets to help you with granades. That's cool.

That's true, but like the rest of WWII, it has been done before by the likes of Medal of Honor.

Now, I'm not saying the game is going to suck, I'm just saying no one cares about it because of the general understanding that it's a WWII shooter.

It's probably a great game because of the CoD4 engine, but there are just too many AAA titles this quarter that deserve my attention more than CoD5.

yep ww2 is over and done with, where is vietnam, battlefield did it and it was great with playable music for in game from that era. WE NEED A VIETNAM game.POPEYE1716

its like saying " lets make a game about the war in iraq and afghanistan!"

Not really, because it's illegal to do that since those wars aren't over.

Plus, there already have been games on Vietnam.

but of course to go into a war that really does not have any specific reason for the fighting shouldnt really be a war at all.

thats why a game on the war in the middle east will be tough, because there will hardly be any plot let alone a story line.

But there would be a storyline, easily.

None of the wars in the past had any good reasons to happen, but they did, and we've made countless movies about them.

The thing is that the movies aren't about the wars themselves, but mainly about fictional or non-fictional characters and how they're affected by the wars.

This is the same basic guide lines we'll be seeing movie makers, and game developers, following in the future whenever it comes to media pertaining to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Even CoD4 was about a completely fictional war with a "middle eastern country," starring fictional characters.

In my opinion CoD has had its moment. Yeah, CoD4 was great, was one of the first games I picked up for my PS3 and I adored it and it kept me hooked for months. But now with online shooters trying new things and with CoD5 basically being CoD4 but set in WWII, I can't see the point in this game.

It has the same online mode and leveling system ect. Maybe a new storymode but if its as short as CoD4's storymode then it doesn't appeal me at all because CoD4 was all about the online mode and if CoD5 is a carbon copy but in WWII, then I'd just rather spend my money on something new, Restistence 2 for example.

The problem is, it's a year after COD4. If the new COD is only as good as COD4, then it's not really as good a year after. WHere's the innovation? Where's the next big wow?

Well maybe that is the problem. I mean gamers expect "the perfect game" but I think it won't be produced even if they had the resources. Why? because that would be the end of games. I've seen a lot of games getting overrated because of the hype.

its about brand loyalty. People dismissed this COD when they heard it wasnt IW. It seems like the exact same game, for better or worse. No other FPS has come close since, so ill gladly buy it, even if it will feel like a large expansion packsignore

yes, and the key word here is gameplay. No shooter compares to cod4's gameplay in my experience. I don't like the fact that it's WW2 either, and only about a week ago i was preaching to skip it, but i just love cod4 so much i don't even care that CoDWaW is just a re-hash of CoD4. I know i'll have fun, and that's all that matters in the end. I'm sure more people will come around and codWaW will have a large fan base.

simple:

1. it's treyarch not infinity ward so it's the makers of cod3 and not cod4.
2. it's wwii again, what made cod4 fresh and great was that it broke from the wwii shooters
3. there's much more interesting games out there even in the same genre such as R2,Far Cry2, and to an extent Mirror's Edge and Fallout3

Why is COD WaW more expensive than all other PS3 games? I checked the price and it's $64.99 rather than the usual $59.99
