I Started playing the multiplayer beta yesterday and I have to say that I like it better than ‘Modern Warfare’. And ‘Modern Warfare’ was my favorite game.
It uses the same engine and gameplay/setup as ‘modern warfare’, but WWII setting trumps modern weaponry. Only 3 maps are available and the level system is locked at 11 for the beta. The maps are excellent so far though, the weapons feel real and the gameplay is more fun than modern warfare for me.
There are some really neat perks this time too, along with other cool things like a type of tear gas for a secondary grenade.
After 3 consecutive kills you get a recon plane, just like ‘modern warfare’'s radar. After 5 kills you get a very effect artillery strike. The sound of the artillery coming in overhead at you can be very demoralizing. After 10 kills you get to “release the dogs.” I can say that nothing has frustrated me more in a video game and at the same time not make me mad than the dogs. Basically it releases a bunch of attack dogs that search out the enemy and rip their throat out. I lost count of how many times I was in a sniper position about to take a headshot and a german shepherd came out of nowhere and took a chunk out of my throat.
I will definitely be buying the game next month. Oh yeah, there are molotv cocktails too.
I played the beta as well and the gameplay seems great but I still don’t like the WW2 setting… I miss my modern guns and modern settings… Still a cool game but I hope it goes back to Modern for the next one when Infinity Ward takes back over.
It sounds like it will be just as good as 4. A lot of people have been dogging it, but if they’re keeping perks and shit around, I have no problem with the ww2 setting.
It’s funny that you mentioned the dogs too. I was just talking with a friend not long ago that it would of been a neat perk or reward in 4. There is nothing I hate worse than a level FULL of snipers in COD4 (chernobyl?)… boring as hell, not to mention fustrating
if you liked modern warfare then you will like world at war. Its the same game with a new flavor. Modern warfare was starting to get boring after I unlocked the golden AK
I played the hell out of modern warfare… The previews and game play videos of World At War have me sold without even having to play it. Glad to hear it plays as well as it looks
