Call of Duty World at War


So I just watched this trailer on Kotaku... -sigh-

First, I'm sick of WWII games. Call of Duty 1 and 2 were great, all the spin offs and the third game? Fine, okay, whatever. But then came CoD4 which made us want to never go back to WWII. Why go back to it again? I guess if you try to make it like CoD4 gameplay wise online and offline, people will buy it, but how many WWII "fans" are out there? Only so many types of guns and perks can relate to the time period of the game. In an interview I watched on Xbox Live, they said they added vehicles. Why? The game is good without vehicles. And yes, the first one had vehicles, but only for a little bit. They didn't use it as a driving point for the game... no lame pun intended.

Second, why the hell is it so over the top looking now? People are fucking flying everywhere like the super agent from Crackdown decided to show up with his rocket launcher and blast some fucking Nazi bitches. There's huge explosions, people running and gunning, and people flying everywhere in flames. This doesn't remind of the good old days with CoD.

Third, of course, it's not Infinity Ward, who made 1, 2, and 4, which were the good games in the series. It's not a total downer, since IW is working on CoD4 online somewhat still and hopefully on a new amazing addition to the CoD series, or something entirely new.

I'll give this a try, but it reminds me of a WWII era Battlefield Bad Company game. Except not funny.

Also, this is epic win.

I haven't seen the trailer yet, but I can't wait to see what ridiculousness is in store.
