The Call of Duty: World at War multiplayer beta is currently taking place, and on Wednesday, Grim gave you an inside look at it.
Yesterday, Activision sent over a gory new trailer for the game that gives us a great deal of insight into how its multiplayer portion will play out. You can find the video after the jump, kiddies, along with a list of all the maps, modes, weapons, and perks that were mentioned (and the descriptions of each, as seen in the trailer).
You see, this trailer isn’t just a simple compilation of multiplayer gameplay. It also goes through five maps and five modes, shows off ten perks, and illustrates the use of eight World War II-era weapons. And you can hear Jack Bauer — uh, I mean, Kiefer Sutherland — barking commands and warnings like, “Dogs! Comin’ right at us!” By the way, this is the second multiplayer trailer that has been released (here’s the first one).
All in all, the two-minute video has got me just as stoked about Call of Duty: World at War as nearly any other high-profile release in the remaining days of 2008. Head to the game’s official Web site for more information, and shine up those M1 Garand rifles — Call of Duty: World at War will be out for the PS3, 360, Wii (check out Dale’s preview), PC, PS2, and DS on November 11th.
