First Call of Duty: World at War trailer to roll onto XBL

I know that Treyarch has been working on this game for longer than Call of Duty 3 but I am still extremely nervous. This trailer better show some real gameplay and hopefully they blatantly ripped off Call of Duty 4 in almost every day and just copy-and-paste the good stuff into the Pacific Theater. I don't know if I can buy anything by Treyarch ever again. I'm scarred.

Why can't there be a WWII game that lets you shoot Americans? The Japanese and Nazi soldiers had a call of duty too. :P

I'm still excited about this game based on what I've read from that article, so I'm hoping that the trailer will show some good gameplay.

From the scans i've seen, it doesn't look all that great.

I will have a look, but Treyarch has their work cut out for them.

Off topic, but what the hell happend to Brothers in Arms???? Theres gonna be 4 COD games on next gen and Bros. is still MIA. Joystiq staff, look into that please.

colour me unimpressed and un-optimistic...so, pessimistic...also a little hungry


and kinda tired :(

In all honesty I have a feeling that I should just ignore this game, as this game will simply copy what COD4 has done right. Treyarch has never been known for innovation.

But we'll see.

At least it's Japan. I hope to god too that the player character speaks. How the hell will they make it "darker " and "emphasize the fear" when the character doesnt react to anything except with a few grunts

I don't know why Call of Duty 3 gets hated on so much. I rented it and was more than entertained for those few days... what's all the fuss about?

I wanna know what fourzerotwo and the other IW employees think of COD3. Would be interesting.

Well, at least COD6 will be good.

Doesn't matter what time period the next COD is set in... they are all the same game essentially running on the same engine since launching on the next gen consoles. Talk about linear as well. HALO 3 will always blow this series out of the water!! :-)

conker live and reloaded had it to where you could play as the us and germany. i mean you are playing as teddy bears and squirrels........

isnt this game comming out on wii to

At first I was skeptical about the idea of WWII yet again, but this talk of darker and using grittier weapons like flame throwers or traps could be buckets of fun. Throw in the amazing battlefields that might be possible from the Pacific or Europe, the weapon and gameplay qualities of COD4, and some extra variablity in perks (which I'm guessing they'll have their own set of new perks but most of them could fit in another game). Vehicles too, all these things could add up to a really great game.

My number one question is what will the kill streak benefits be, if they are still there? (UAV, Bomb, Chopper ---> Mortar, Napalm, Tank?)

Call of Duty: World at War - first details in OXM
Monday 9-Jun-2008 12:23 PM Back to WWII with four-player co-op
61 CommentsThe first details of Call of Duty: World at War have been revealed, plucked straight from the pages of Xbox 360: The Official Magazine (#35), which is dropping through subscribers' letterboxes right now.

The fifth game in the CoD series, which is being developed by CoD3 studio Treyarch, ditches the number subtitle and expectedly returns to WWII - but the developer stresses it's not the same theatre we've seen a million times before.

It all takes place in the Pacific theatre (and partially in Russia's advance into Berlin) says OXM, which all in all was a much grittier and darker conflict that the one in muddy Belgium fields.

Treyarch has had a full extra year over CoD3's development to make World at War - and it's using the excellent CoD4 engine, which is plenty of reason to be excited.

"This is a scarier Call of Duty than we've ever seen," Treyarch head Mark Lamir says in the mag.

To help simulate the Japanese's different style of warfare, Treyarch has completely re-tinkered the enemy AI in World at War. Instead of taking cover and flanking in traditional European battle strategies, the Japanese hide in trees, sneak through the overgrowth and scrabble, katana in hand in violent suicide attacks.

"We figured out early that the Imperial Japanese fought in a different way that was full of suspense," creative lead Rich Farrelly tells OXM. "From that point we started to skew the game in that direction."

Excitingly, for the first time in Call of Duty's campaign 4-player co-op is supported over Xbox Live - and it supports meta game perks as in CoD4's excellent online mode.

You'll find loads more details and first screens in issue 35, in the shops Friday June 13 (but in subscribers' hands now).



ha..........

I'd still buy this game. I haven't gotten tired of WWII. It was an extremely important war in history. Just wish that Infinity Ward was developing it. Treyarch needs to step it up a pit.
