Call of Duty 5: World at War

I got it for the PC and am not overly impressed. I still prefer online multiplayer shooters on the PC than console. For me and my buddies it was bought due to their being a lack of good shooters coming out. It's simply not a good enough step up from COD 4 for it to be classed as a very good game.

In terms of the gameplay, they have completely buggered up the ranking system as well online. It is possible to set up a server that will give anything from 100 to 5000 points a kill. To test the theory, I set up a second online account and managed to go from lvl 1 to lvl 65, then Prestige and 1 to 65 again whilst unlocking all the weapons within the space of 35 minutes.

That aside it does feel like a WWII shooter, the maps are bigger and are more expansive than COD4 which can only be a good thing. Again there is another annoyance in having dogs as a call in for a 5 kill streak.

For console I would recommend renting before buying. PC wait till it comes down in price
