This is one of this years most played xbox live game. Do people prefer this over COD4 now? I haven't tried online yet. Who's still playing COD4? Am I going to find just the high ranking officers left or campers??

Hmm I'm kinda broke right now ... In the past two months I bought Resistance 2, Silent Hill, PES 09 & Little Big Planet (I love this game!). Do you think guys this game deserves my money?

If it helps I enjoyed a lot Call of Duty 4.

Same here. Thinking of getting either Modern warfare OR W@W. Which one if any should I get please?

I like Halo & GoW but dislike Rainbow6 Vegas.

The multiplayer is different from COD 4 in a lot of ways. It seems a little slower and slightly more methodical.

The maps are also bigger, and they have more wide open areas. They are all very well made, and offer seem to fit different play styles very well.

I enjoy the game multiplayer a lot. If retains the mechanical polish of COD4 and retains a lot of the same conventions. always find it hard to say "if you enjoy COD4, you will like W@W."

The game retains a lot of the same conventions, but changes enough to make if feel like a different game. I really enjoy W@W and I really enjoy COD4. I've been playing COD4 since launch and W@W seems fresh. That being said, if your not playing W@W, your not missing out on an epic game. Also, I find it easy to switch between playing COD4 and W@W, and not have either feel stale.

i notice a lot of typos in my post but I don't feel like correcting them. Also, I was somewhat wrong in what I said about the maps. There are *more* wide open areas in some maps, not all of them. They are all well designed though.

Ok. I just bought COD4 and had an opportunity to have WAW instead... but have heard such rave reviews about COD4. Was that a dumb move? Since WAW is a newer title and everyone is just starting it... are my chances better for not getting owned or is COD4 balanced enough to have fun this late in the game. Been playing COD4 on Veteran and it's a blast to say the least. Been a big Halo 3 fan but have found the matchmaking and ranking to be unbalanced as of late. COD4 feels fresh and I have to wonder why I didn't jump in earlier. I played through COD2 and COD3 and enjoyed the series!!

COD4 actually has the largest community right now out of the two, and people are going back from WAW to 4 every day.

COD4 is an epic, while COD5 feels like a lame cash-in forgettable summer action flick.

My experiences seem to mirror Panda's.

I still enjoy both games, and there's enough similarities to have one 'make me think of the other', but I can still enjoy them both in their own ways. And if I'm having a bad streak in W@W, I can throw in COD4 and have a marvelous time... and vice versa. Infinity Ward gave COD4 a good polish that sometimes W@W seems to lack, but this by no means makes it a bad game. Both are worthy for purchase IMO, for both single and multiplayer. Ohh, and I love the expanded game types in W@W.

i call it futbol because that's how i differentiate it from football without saying soccer. i got into that habit because of spanish speaking friends, relatives, spanish class, and watching telemundo.

Over here we call your football American Football. Maybe you should call soccer "rest-of-the-world football".

It seems Yahtzee's rant about USA folks being the only ones obsessed with WW2 was a little off the mark.

To be fair, the British mostly just bring it up to annoy the Germans.

I really don't understand the NFS situation, how it is 3rd is rather scary to me.

Though World at War, is a lot of fun on multiplayer. I didn't care for the campaign that much, that wasn't too great. The multi though is a lot of fun. Better than COD4's? Not sure, its different. Even though WWII has been done so many times, because they took the multiplayer system from COD4 and put it in World at War, I think that it adds a fresh face to the over-done WWII time period. There were 236000+ people playing this on XBL last night, its pretty good.

btw, there is no such thing as a punt in FIFA 09, because its actual football, as in, what the entire planet except the USA call football, football.
guess the writer didnt know that, or they attempted to make one of the worst jokes ever made.

Its alright. I have it for the wii. I've played it online. Its like CoD4. I've played CoD4 on several consoles but primarily on the PC. I never cared for it, and thus I don't really care for this game. I'm much more old school and prefer more twitch based game play, and less insta-gib with random spawn locations.
