I am thinking about buying CoD World at War. I played the Beta and it seemed great, but some people say that Treyarch made another horrible game. Can someone tell me what are the bad game features that made people say that it is not a good game?

It's not bad. Because its just a reskined version of CoD4. It's just not fresh. I have played CoD4 for so long it got old, same with WW2 put that together and you have one really bland game. I'll just wait for six. By then I am sure I'll want another cod.

The only thing that i didn't like about it was the dogs. Other than that it was pretty good. But like the guy above me said, it isn't unique enough for me to buy it.

So for someone that hasn't played Cod4 would Cod5 be really good?

i've got to be honest, i played cod4 to my 6th prestige, and i like World at War better multiplayer wise. single player really depends on preference, but as for multiplayer, it's more balanced with weapons and classes. there no longer are super weapons like the M16 or AK that can kill everything in an instant, the perks are more balanced so if you get read of stopping power for slight of hand, your power reduction is noticible. if you didn't like cod4, don't bother getting it, but honestly i think it's superior.

the game is so awesome, i dont care that they are using the COD4 engine and it's not really their "engine" but really it doesn't matter, it's a great game, the campaign is awesome and there's the unlockable zombie mode. u can play up to 4 players coop too on the campaign on Xbox live. the multiplayer is good too and there's alot more enjoyable guns to use in my opinion.

COD4 guns were very balanced in my opinion. The M16 took skill to use, and the AK wasn't anything special.

it is not a reskined version it has co op and that alone makes it worth the price there are many small things they did but the coop is what really pushes it out front buy the game you will not regret it

Is their a split screen co-op option for CoD 5? That is one thing that drove me crazy about CoD4, how they didn't have that option.Vuurk
yes but its only 2 player split screen, but there is 4 player co op.

(keep in mind ive only played a very little of it because ive only played it at my friends house and i played on the beta buuuuut) i think its the best WWII game ive played to date and ive played like almost all of the ones that where worth anything (and allot that werent worth anything) but the reason people complain is because WWII has just been overused and they shoulda have stuck with modern or future but either way i still enjoyed it from a shooter standpoint and its worth a go round

i totally agreed now imagine if these mechanics only in a non WWII setting that would be the perfect game for me

I don't think it's worth buying because the buildings don't blow up and stuff, otherwise it's descent, but not worth the 70 bucks after tax, I mean that's like time and a half, So In Conclusion, It would be worth 30 bucks

Call of Duty: World at War is by far the best WWII shooter i've played and i've played alot, it's multiplayer is still great, the only thing i don't like about it is the weapons suck until about level 25.
