View Full Version : CoD: World at War
As I think nearly everyone's anticipating it on here :D
Just seen the Collector's Edition has been announced, and it's looking good. Hope we get an identical one here.
Goodies included are:
* Call of Duty: World at War videogame (surprise!)
* World at War branded canteen
* FG 42 Machine Gun available on Day 1 (Usually a Level 45+ weapon)
* One week of Double-XP goodness (Actual week unknown)
* Colored Clan Tag (In-game multiplayer character indicator)
* Stylish tin box to place above-listed treats
So far only the Xbox 360 and PC have had Collector's Editions confirmed. The Xbox 360 edition will retail for $80 while the PC will ask $70 for the set.

For me the best part of this is the multiplayer 7 kill reward ;D

I'm actually not too bothered about this. It's not done by Infinity Ward, and it's World War 2 again. I mean come on, surely they can think of something other than WW2 for the setting? WW2 has been done to death. The only thing that may interest me is if the multiplayer is as good as CoD4, but that'll be the only thing really.

I am kind of coming from the opposite end of the spectrum on this. Usually if I buy a Shooter it is for the multiplayer only and very rarely play the single player campaign. I enjoyed the single player campaign a lot more than MP. MP On COD 4 is just a lot of wash rinse and repeat. At least on the PC anyway. I hope the single player is as good in World at War as it was on COD 4
How many players are there on a COD 4 server out of interest on console ?

no idea how many on the servers, you just have the game lobbies with the 12 players.

Ahh right, I wasn't aware how the dynamic of multiplayer worked on console. On PC you can have upto 64 people at anyone time on a server. I am no expert on console so I suspect that On X360 it's more like P2P rather than everyone connecting to a dedicated game server ?

Assuming you simply log on and do a quick search for a match type, you're just thrown into a room with up to 12 people in it. I think the host is assigned automatically (probably decided by the server by lowest ping or something like that).

That would be a new experience for me. Most of the time when I play a shooter online it's at least 8 a side
I'm assuming Huddy means the canteen that comes with it :) It's a flask iirc.
I'm more interested in the MP than the SP for this which is unusual for me. I love CoD4 on the 360 but I can see how it's just more of the same on the PC where it's up against things like BF2 etc.
Oh and the release date is 11th November afaik :)

No, what is this:
"* World at War branded canteen"
See above :p

My mistake with the release date. Game are quoting 14th November. As well as offering early beta access to the MP: http://www.game.co.uk/lowdown.aspx?lid=9367&cm_mmc=update-_-wk3508-_-general-_-codwaw

I'm a fan of smaller numbers unless it's a Battlefield type game.
Battlefield: Bad Company is 24 players online and the servers are dedicated, so it's not always p2p.

A hip flask.

What's the expected date for this?
It's becoming an expensive time again.

In multiplayer for 3 kills you get a spy plane. 5 kills you get artillery and 7 is......"Smithers, release the hounds!!!" you get dogs which run around and try to kill all the other players.
Which sounds brilliant :D
Very tempted to save some birthday money for this. You getting it Leo?

Don't think so Jen, it'll be a rental for me, still play cod4 too much ;D

28-09-2008, 20:43
I'll no doubt be getting it.
I'll be waiting to see how many people get it I think, just too many games coming out at once to buy it regardless :/ And CoD4 is still brilliant.

Heh, I like the idea of dogs attacking people, they're always a bugger to kill if they're quick and agile.

I played and enjoyed CoD4 (even if it did cost me a controller) but never really played online.
No online FPS's have really compared to playing HLDM though. Shame really.

Funny story actaully. Bought it on day of release with Nokkon and Windle from a Blockbuster in Warrington.
Went to a LAN in West Wales (Aberporth, run/hosted by Az/Ultra_Extreme) and mostly didn't play it as GH2/3 was far more fun :D
Got home and lost the damn game and didn't find it again till Christmas Day - that was a nice prezzie I tell yah.
After finally playing it and screaming at the TV/controller/console and anythign else that would listen I made it through the SP on veteran. Never touched it again. Then Rock Band come into my life :>
