I'm still stuck deciding between this and Gears 2. I don't know why but I got kind of sick of COD4 way before any of my friends did. I guess the appeal of playing one FPS for months on end online just doesn't get me anymore.

I don't know whether to get GOW2, COD: WAW or L4D. Swaying towards COD.
 
Im so sick of cod4 i don't even want to look at it anymore. If they were to make some new maps it would be fun again, halo 3 has had so many maps its crazy so i don't know what IW's problem is. Im hoping to get WaW sometime soon, money is tight right now. America's economy is in the toilet, my wife was laid off and i haven't worked in over a month so its basically a mini layoff. But hopefully soon i will be able to get it, the beta was ok i am ready for some new maps! One thing i liked about it was the sniping, i am much better on WaW sniping than i am on cod4. It just seems more natural. I do wish they would make it more realistic so where you had to lead your shots and such...
 
We rented 2 copies of COD:WAW last night. Over the weekend we plan on checking it out. Maybe even tonight. We just want to see if the 4 player co-op is fun.
 
We played this over the weekend. Beat the co-op campaign in about 4 or 5 hours. Then we played around 6 hours of the online multiplayer. Overall there is quite a bit more I like about this game over COD4. Its just a lot more FUN compared to the frustration of COD4. I was a tank destroying machine online. I must have destroyed at least 20-30 tanks within 6 hours of multiplayer. Almost all the kills were with satchel charges. However I am surprised at how much work it takes to destroy a tank. 2-3 rockets or 2-3 satchel charges. Thats crazy.
With that said this is still only a rental for us.
 
What exactly makes it more fun than cod4? They borrowed the engine from IW to make this game so it plays the same and also STILL has the same problems and glitches that cod4 had. To me the game is decent but its still the step kid. One thing that did piss me off when i got it was that before the release they were speaking of "vehicles" and snipers in trees and all this rubbish and i get it and there aren't "vehicles". There is A tank. Also there are only snipers in trees in solo and its not even you. I was thinking oh yeah i will be able to scale trees and snipe from them...sweet! Then i get it and none of what i was looking foward to is even in the game....
 
This is my first CoD title and everyone on another forum is praising it over CoD4 but I'm just not feeling it, which is annoying after running around Saturday looking for a store with it and parting with £40 for something I'm not enjoying. Ah well, just have to complete it now and see if the multiplayer makes up for it, otherwise I'll see if CoD4 is any better.

Its the addition of 4 player co-op campaign, zombie mode, the tanks online, and dogs that make this a lot more fun than COD4. Yes it has some of the same bugs and problems as COD4 but overall I am just having a lot more "fun" with COD:WAW. We have actually played enough that we are almost considering buying this when the price drops.
 
Has anyone got the Sum of All Zeroes achievement yet? My highest kill count is 38 (you need 45) and it's driving me nuts. There's a guy on youtube getting 57, he makes it look easy :grumpy:
 
I've grown bored of this game very quickly. The single player is boring due to the way the enemies spawn and the bad AI of your 'comrades' and multiplayer is just terrible. The guns are stupidly out of balance (Why do the heavy machine guns have less recoil than the smaller ones?!) the vehicles are very annoying and the dogs are still ridiculously overpowered.

And they didn't fix the spawning, either. I've gone back to Call of Duty 4 already.
 
To be honest, I think COD: WaW is an okay game. I'm hoping they fix some problems that are bugging the heck out of me (for instance, the iron sights on the Springfield rifle are buggered up; the front sight goes way above where it should) The tanks add an extra change to online, which is good. Couple more perks, no problem. I don't know...it feels the same as 4 and frustrates you almost more than 4 (IMO) but it's a change, which is what we all want anyway. The big thing for me at this point is the freaking bugs, glitches, etc. I can't stand them...the Springfield is my favorite rifle and I can't stop using it, but I can't hit anyone when I don't know where to put the sight on the guy! But aside from the overall glitch and bug problem, not a bad game. Think I might play some more tonight, as a matter of fact.
 
Heather bought me this as an early christmas present. We were already planning on getting it but it just happened earlier than we thought. So I went out and bought her one for Christmas too. The zombie mode is actually very fun and we were only able to survive wave 11. As I said a few posts back, I like this game a lot more than COD4.

There's already people glitching under Castle. That's bad.

Agreed. Im sick of getting in a match and getting killed by someone thats under the map. I was so tired of that on the beta in roundhouse i would just quit the match if it was on roundhouse. Its not fun to get killed and you can't do anything about it. I would get under the map myself but not to kill people, i would get under and just wait for people to try to get under then kill them. I was a guardian so to speak:)

Zombie Mod? on a Console?

Not zombie mod, zombie mode. Youtube COD5 zombie mode. Although if on the PS3 there are mods because of being able to alter the save files on a pc:sly:
 
Well, I rented this and my first impression that it is alright. The sniping has improved and you actually have to predict the movements of the person with the bolt-action rifle. So who knows. Though the online gameplay was boring due to the fact that everyone was quiet and what made it entertaining that two English fellows were bickering like Us, the Americans would.
 
Bought this game about a week ago, and beat it not to long ago. Even Recruit (easiest mode, I forget what it's called) can be a pain at times. I haven't really dabbled in the online mode yet, but I usually wait to go online with games until I've honed my skills a bit in offline play. Makes me look like less of an idiot online when I do that.

Just pick a machine gun and avoid the tanks. That's all there is to it really. Oh, and watch out for Bouncing Bettys, they're dangerous! But other than that it's very standard, you don't even have to worry about grenades in this one because they're....well, crap.
 
What's crap is the respawning in MP. I can't tell you how many times I'm waiting to respawn and 3...2...1...Boom I'm dead.

I havent have that problem much at all in WAW but holy crap in COD4 it was rediculous. It was so bad in COD4 I pulled the game out and traded it in. I have never ever seen a game with more respawn killing than COD4. Hated that game online. I play a lot of Team Deathmatch and Conquest.
 
I think you should get on WAW right now and play some HCTD with me, or any game type for that matter.
 
At least you've got a job. I'm only making money off of what investments I've made thus far. No enough really. Not hardly.

Well, I've sent you a friend request. (ToAdvanced) Maybe we'll play sometime.

I seen more Team killing rather than team work in COD:W@W than COD4. Otherwise, I will be doing the Teamkilling 👍

That can't be as bad as Battlefield 2 on PC. Sometimes I would be getting killed several times in a row. If it wasn't a tank, there would be a chopper flying over or artillery raining down.
 
To be honest I find the respawns even worse in this game when playing HQ. What's really bad is when you capture one the other team can spawn right next to you so you don't have any time to run away. This wasn't really that noticable in COD4 (except Shipment of course).

I forgot there was a 360 version thread - I've been posting in the PS3 one the whole time. :dunce:

I mostly play HCS&D now, and HQ to keep my kill count up. I'm pretty good at S&D, which is surprising because I never caught onto it in COD4. You get so much more XP if you do well too.

This is my score yesterday on Cliffside - half of them were random rifle grenades :lol:



I'm prestige 6 level 58 now and on a 3.22 K/D ratio. :)
