Probably getting CoD:WaW 5 extra shooty game for Christmas. Worth it?
Lolthien | 2:50 PM on 12.22.2008 15 comments


Is it really worth playing? Half my friends list is playing it every night, and while I love me some Left4Dead, it can be a bit difficult to find a game with four people I can stand to listen to (counting myself). But I played the beta for World at War and pretty much put it away in disgust after a few days because it simply wasn't anything other than CoD4 with crappy guns, different skins, and dogs (which are somehow more effective than hovering attack choppers).

Can someone out there give me some reason not to turn this game in for store credit, completely unopened the day after Christmas? I miss playing with all my friend's list pals, but I'd hate to open the game, just to play it once and then put it up on Swaptree.com after puking a little.

I'm all for advice.

Don't listen to Heretic. COD:WaW is an amazing game. Go ahead and spend your $60+tax on this worthwhile shooter.

If you want to play me sometime, message me at xDistratox .

Played it at a friends house, meh. I couldn't see playing it as long as I did/do COD4. Your friends list is playing it because its a COD game, I forsee a time where that name will be the same as saying Madden. "Dude you have to get it man, its Call of Duty," /shudders. The zombie thing was fun, but again its a small part of the game for a niche market, but if you're a zombie freak L4D is much better.

I had/have a lot of fun playing it. I think the single player is better on World at War but the multiplayer is better on Modern Warfare. I loved every second of it's singleplayer. I'd just play it. Why not? What other game are you going to get?

p.s. 'attach' choppers sound great to me...

It's COD4, with new maps and weapons. It's a great game that is great only because of the game it is a carbon copy of. Play with me sometime: Zombutler

It's only $35 at Best Buy this week, at that price I was thinking about getting it. From what i've seen I wouldn't pay $60.

@ Heretic

Man. Heretic's pretty pissed off. Told me his advice, then told me not to take it. Good man.

And I guess I should give it a shot. I have loved the SP on every COD since the very first. Didn't even think of that. Doy.

Also, Attach now = Attack :)

For a guy who played close to a dozen days (hours wise) if not more of CoD4, I'd say, don't buy CoD: W@W. While it is a clone, Treyarch did their typical thing of taking out the fun of the game. If you played things like Hardcore Search and Destroy and stuff you will HATE W@W since you can no longer hear footsteps nearly as well, people will spawn BEHIND you instead of opposite sides of the map, and you can no longer hear bomb defuses and such.

I've been wondering the same thing....seems like people are split on the new Duty. I'll try it out if it gets cheaper... I'm not too interested in WW2 games right now
