Sod it.... I ended up buying it today :rolleyes: Haven't got time to play it, but the disc is pretty :D Haven't even booted GeOW2 up yet either.
 
Well played a bit of both today.

Very impressed with COD5 on the PS3. Graphics look great at 1080p and the AA issues reviews have mentioned don't appear to be anything major at all.

Very good.

GOW2, better than the first and impressive in it's own ugly looking way. Not far into either game though as i went back to Banjo, Fallout 3 and LBP for a bit too.... too many games :D
 
Played it on the PS3 all afternoon and thought it was great. Very fast paced and lots of AA guns to control. Great game so far!
 
Little Review

For anyone that is considering buying this game it is basically COD4 with bigger maps and different guns.

I been playing it online now for 6/7 hours(I think), on level 30 :cool:

The game is more or less exactly the same as COD4, the gameplay is exactly the same and the popular guns in COD4 are basically in WaW they just got different names

M40A3 - Springfield
MP5 - Type 100
RPD - BAR
etc etc


The Taubin Gas(sp?) is a good replacement of Stun/Flash grenades and is alot more effective, frag grenades seem to be a little weaker then they were before though and those sticky grenades suck unless you use them to blow up a tank

I don't really like the tanks either, I'm sure some people just stay in the tank all game just blowing people up:rolleyes:. I don;t really like the Artillery strike either, I don't think they're accurate enough and it's very rare that a whole team would get killed by one....and they last wayyyy to long. The dogs are good though and are a good replacement of the helicopters, they run around in packs of 2/3/4, they're pretty easy to kill but if they bite you twice your dead lol

Some of the guns are very rubbish though and I have yet to find/unlock a gun in the "rifles" section that isn't a semi-automatic....way to many G3 kinda guns. The machine guns and sub machine guns are very good though and everyone pretty much sticks to them. Snipers are alright, I've only used the Springfield to snipe because with the rest of the snipers you have to complete the first marksman challenge(25 kills) to unlock the "sniper scope" or what ever you would call it.

Perks are OK'ish, I've just been using the same perks that I used on COD4...There is a new perk call "Toss back" though which resets the fuse of thrown back grenades, usefull for some. You can also have a vehicale perk aswell for tanks. i never go in tanks so I don;t really care for the vehicle perk.

There are some new game modes, Capture the Flag, War and some others that I can't remember, thers also Hardcore Free for All and some other hardcore modes that I can't remember either. I only been playing domination,team deathmatch and SnD I haven't had time to test out the other modes still adjusting to the game.

The Co-Op mode is pretty good as soon as I loaded up the game I had invites to join a Co-Op game...I dunno if its exactly the same as the story mode cause I haven't played that (I didn't play the COD4 single player mode either) so I can't really comment on that, but I'm guessing once everyone is used to the guns and what not Co-Op mode will be to easy to complete (if you can complete it :confused:)


Overall though WaW is a very, very good game and WW2 or not I still think it is better then COD4. Only thing's that i sincerly hate about this game is that:

1. Theres no camo's which makes the headshot challenges pretty pointless
2. Tanks, you gotta play the game to understand how annoying those damn things are
3. I'm a "noob" on level 30 of the first prestige and my golden cross and golden guns no longer have people debating in the lobby wheter or not I'm a hacker:eek::cool: lol

Oh yh one last thing, for each prestige (well 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th & 10th) you do you unlock a new custom class so if your on your 10th prestige you would have 10 custom classes :p

But yh if anyone doesn't have this game I suggest you get it ASAP!!!!

If COD4 was, lets say, a 9 out of 10 I'd give this game a solid 9.5 out fo 10...to sum up the game its basically COD4 with improvements and WW2 style guns and maps :cool:

PSN - J-Step for anyone that wants to add me, if you do add me say that your from MR so I know...thanks :eek:
 
I bought it last weekend, and I'm very impressed. Sure, its WW2, but the way treyarch presents the story changes everything. It has a much more gritty and dark feel to it than previous CoD games, and I like it. World at War is a whole new WW2 experience, and it's rather refreshing. Not to mention the multiplayer is pretty addicting :D After playing GoW 2 (Gears...lol), I'm very glad I picked Cod 5 over it. Gow 2 was simply to much like the old game. Seemed like more of an expansion pack than anything. Call of Duty did not dissapoint...get this game!
 
Zombie Hunt

Nazi zombies rock! If CoD4 had this built-in I would never leave the house! The zombie mod is buggy on my :apple:. :(

Computer graphics and control are waaaay better than sticks and TVs (I can pick off snipers with just a red-dot sight on an M-16, so I will be "putting my quarter up" at someone else's console until it does.
 
Not to go too off topic but I really want to by a COD game, which one do you guys recommend. What COD has a great single player and just as important multiplayer (that has a large online base still in play)?

Thanks guys.

Can you wait till November 10, 2009?

BTW - I love seeing old threads of mine come to life... I mean that. Really gives a person a sense of satisfaction.
 
I've played two of the three new maps and I must say, great job! Got it free on the PC, nightfire and the subway one, playing headquarters it was really fun. Nightfire was a bit dark but might have been my MB screen settings.
