Say what you will about Call of Duty's return to World War II, one can't fault Treyarch's determination to follow up Modern Warfare with style. The team knows it has a tough act to follow with Infinity Ward's efforts and so far, things aren't looking too diabolical for World at War.
We now know what weapons and perks will be available in the game, and you can view those after the jump. Many perks will be returning from Modern Warfare (including everybody's favorite, Martyrdom) while Treyarch is adding some brand new skills such as Monkey (climb trees faster), Frogman (swim faster) and the delightful sounding Play Dead. The weapons will be taken from the arsenals of British, American, Russian, Japanese and German forces. Maybe this means you get to play as a Nazi?
One can only hope, dear friends. One can only hope.

RENT.
Also, BAJONETS!!!
Are you fucking kidding me!?
Next thing you know, they'll be adding some form of the M16...
Also, why the whine over marty?
Because it is an extremely cheap, overused way to get a kill.
What really bugs me about it is that it takes NO SKILL to pull off, you have to die in order to get the kill.
Stop whining about Martyrdom. You should all know you should move away ASAP after killing someone just to be safe.
That comes naturally after a while, but, so many people use the perk that you could well end up moving away from one and into another. I cant tell you how many times that happened to me.
I gave up the game about a month ago, as it had just become rediculous. Every game you got into would have at least 1 of the following :
The guy who would camp in the door way for the entire game and then complain when someone snipes him, the guy running around with juggernaught, a squeaky voiced American kid who will most likely be screaming down his mic, and of course at least 3/4 of the players will be using martrydom.
And then the host ends the game.
Martyrdom, on the other hand, deserves all of the hate it gets. It's just annoying.
Juggernaut is gay. I like to be a sneaky snake with my UAV jammer and silenced Ak-47 and I'm just used to a certain amount of shots to kill someone. Then a juggerfag comes along and it throws me off.
Try sniping those juggerfags. A whole new level of annoyance
This is why Halo is so much better than CoD, its wonderful game with a kick ass multi and it doesn't need some stupid reward system.
Skipping this crap.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuummmmm... no.
This game is going to be mediocre. Not bad, mediocre. And the godawful A.I. proves it.
...though since I use a silencer sometimes they can't tell where the shots are coming from so I have time to reload/switch to my pistol.
did someone throw a halo comparison in there? how embarassing
Fucking non infinity ward.
I'm excited. I think it's going to be really interesting. CoD 4 is probably the game that has held my attention-span the longest, with the exception of Puzzle Quest.
Love the selection of British weapons.... NOT!!!
PYROMANIAC:Like sonic boom but 4 flame thrower and Molotov cocktails
Satchel charge: can inflict damage to tank treads
bouncing Betty: like claymores but shoot up in air then blow up causing wide spread damage as shrapnel
bazooka: self explanatory
flak jacket:help to survive close grenade blasts.
shades:flares are CODW@W's flash bang but they last longer this perk nullify s this effect
Gas Mask: protects from disorientating effects of new grenade Tabun nerve gas
second chance: like last stand but if a team mate also has this they can heal u
fireproof: provides protection for flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails
dexterity: similar to sleight of hand' faster reloads and
faster prep time on Molotov and bouncing Betty's
VEHICLE PERKS:
Greased bearings: faster rotation on tank's main cannon allowing u to move from target 2 target faster
Ordnance training: tank perk boost firing rate of main cannon
water cooler: allows u to fire tanks secondary gun longer before needing cool down
lead foot: boost top speed of slow moving tanks.works if u r the driver only

Like, I wouldn't mind an "Engineer" one where you can either fix a damaged tank or damage/destroy it if you can get close enough to it (maybe hold "X" for x seconds).
I like the dogs better than the helicopter, and I especially love the fact that you get +3 for killing the durn things. But their hitbox seems off, and it seems to take considerably-more firepower to kill them than I'd expect. Maybe they will be altered in the retail version.
I'm probably gonna stick with CoD4 until OF2: Dragon Rising comes out. What with Left4Dead coming out, as well as Fallout 3 and Mirror's Edge, I'm gonna be chock-full of good games.
