I picked this up yesterday and I am really enjoying the story mode. The gore factor has increased which makes the game more gritty and intense. I prefer the WWII theme to modern warfare and hopefully this should keep me going for a while, especially with the co-op and unlockable multiplayer content.
 
Over the weekend I was playing Domination and it was a very close game. I am trapped in a corner by gunfire. So I cook a grenade and throw it at the last second. Only to see a dog run by me with the sticky perfectly placed on the end of his nose. I could see the dogs face then this stem looking thing sticking off his nose. At the end of that was the round brown ball that was the sticky grenade. A second later....Boooom!! Most hilarious thing I have seen in the game since I bought it. :lol:

New conflicts are on the horizon for Call of Duty: World at War! We're pleased to introduce the contents of our first
Downloadable Content (DLC) Map Pack for World at War, which includes three new Multiplayer levels, as well as an additional level for the ever-popular bonus Co-Op mode, Nazi Zombies!

Nightfire
In "Nightfire," players take to the streets of a war-ravaged Berlin with only the flames of the burning city to expose the enemy.

Station
"Station" offers a bombed out underground train station littered with hidden passageways and destroyed subway cars.

Knee Deep
"Knee Deep" takes place on the island of Peleliu in a once tranquil village turned chaotic Japanese command center.

Verrückt (Zombie Asylum)
The fan favorite 4-player co-op Nazi Zombies Bonus Mode returns with "Verrückt," a terrifying Zombie asylum featuring more weapons, perks via the addition of Perks-a-Cola machines, electroshock defenses and the endless zombie horde.

The team has been very quiet regarding details of our DLC until now, and we're so excited to let this content loose. DLC Map Pack #1 is due out in March of '09 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC platforms. More details are soon to come, so be sure to check out CallOfDuty.com for all the latest news and updates regarding CoD:WaW!

Keep forgetting to ask about this, anyone know what the purple heart and crossed rifle symbols mean that are located between the rank and username?

It means you're in an in-game squad. Names will appear blue and you'll always be on the same team (I presume).

ANd yeah, that new map info looks awesome! 👍
 
I've just finished the single player game on hardened, which wasn't too bad but veteran seems to be insanely hard. Going to go through again in co-op mode on veteran and try and beat my high score on Zombie mode.
 
I did not buy the COD4 maps but I will buy these WAW maps for sure. I think Treyarch did a great job with this game and I have no problem supporting them. 👍
 
I cant believe I never looked up what the death cards do. Some of them are just awesome!

Deathcards can only be used in co-op mode, and you can still get achievements. A quick rundown of the cards:

1.Thunder - Headshots cause enemies to explode.
2. Hard Headed - Enemies take less damage.
3. Suicide King - Last stand rounds explode.
4. Cold Dead Hands - No dropped guns.
5. Sticks and Stones - You use your knife and trow rocks... no guns.
6. Vampire - Must kill to recharge health.
7. Flack Jacket - Enemies take less grenade damage.
8. Body Armor - Enemies require head shots.
9. Undead Soldier - Enemies are now all zombies.
10. Pain Killer - Shoot co-op player in last stand to revive.
11. Berserker - 3 kills in 5 seconds makes you invincible for a short time.
12. Paintball - All guns spray paint balls!
13. Victory - Real War mode.
 
FWIW the console patch should be out in the wild now:
Call of Duty: WaW Console Patch Adds Re-lit Map
by Chris Faylor Feb 26, 2009 5:45pm CST on www.shacknews.com
Today is the day that PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners of Call of Duty: World at War no longer feel such animosity towards their PC brethren, as now players on all three platforms can finally enjoy the re-lit daytime version of the Makin multiplayer map.

PC owners got the map as part of a patch earlier this month, and now the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions have been updated as well. The free map is included in the PS3 patch, but Xbox 360 owners will need to download it separately from Xbox Live.

The published PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 patch notes follow below:

* Added support for downloadable maps - free downloadable map "Makin Day" now available to Xbox 360 & PS3.
* Improved host migration functionality (PS3).
* Improved geographical matchmaking (Xbox 360).
* After Action Report now displays full post-game stats (PS3).
* Nazi Zombies is now unlocked for solo & co-op games for EVERYONE in both private and public games!
* Added defensive measures to prevent "Stats Reset" when corrupt data is detected.
* Addressed issues where some solo progression data was lost when a player had collected Death Cards in a split-screen co-op game.
* Patched all known MP map exploits - this fix will also prevent players from passing through geometry/terrain if a new hole is discovered.
* Patched a number of Nazi Zombie exploits.
* Addressed an issue commonly referred to as the "elevator glitch."
* Disabled "Rocket Jumping" - this eliminates the extra boost created by all explosive weapon types.
* Addressed some score reporting anomalies in the War and CTF leaderboards.
* Blocked the ability of players with lower level accounts from accessing higher-level Perks.
* Addressed an issue in Search & Destroy where bomb planting/defusing was disabled when opening the overhead map.
* Disabled ability to get unlimited ammo when prone with a deployed bipod.
* Addressed an issue with Bouncing Betties triggering when the player is within the detonation radius but behind a solid wall.
* Improved squad functionality.
* Fixed an exploit where Hardcore matches could be ended immediately by team killing.

Didn't know so much was addressed in that patch. But I have noticed I'm host more often.

They didn't fix the betty knifing glitch on hardcore though... You can get a betty out and with it equipped you can team kill as many people as you want and you won't lose any points or get kicked. :grumpy:
 
Did anyone get a chance to play the free WAW map? I downloaded the map and never had a chance to play it.
 
Yeah I did. Its almost exactly like the normal makin map, just during the day time. The water is down due to low tide, so you cant hide from dogs in the water now. By the way, since my ps3 broke, Ive been borrowing a friends 360 and playing under his gamertag. We have around 14,500 kills, but I just recently bought my own 360. My gamertag is Jamal is legend. feel free to add me.
