I am stoked for a new COD. I have been burnt out on COD4. It is still an awesome game but it recently has gone off my radar.


WHO IS EXCITED FOR THIS GAME????

I AM!!

I already purchased it at gamestop, going to have to give them a call about my token for the beta. I am extremely excited about this one also.

I'm so excited about playing a new campaign that I just shat myself. I can't wait for it. *wipe*

you have to 'pre-purchase' it to get a beta token?

I can't wait. I am not to thrilled that it is back to WWII (I think it has been played out) but I love the CoD series so I will still get. Not sure if I will pre-order it but I might just for the guarenteed BETA token.

Ya cant wait for martydom and juggernaut woohoo...ugh, ya the game should be cool especially being set in the pacific theatre but I just dont have, ok I have no faith in Treyarch they have never made a quality game. The only good thing is that they are using IW engine so we all know the graphics will be exactly the same which is fine. I sure hope for some destructible buildings and stuff like that though.

There's co-op in the campaign!!! Who wants to play with me?????? no one?

I already have mine so I cant wait for my token

I am going to LOVE the Co-Op campaign mode




From the remains of Russia and the ruins of Berlin, to the beach and jungles of the deadly Pacific Theater, the volatile action takes on added depth as players employ new features that previously were only-available in multiplayer, including perks, rankings and online stats in up-to full four-player cooperative gameplay. New infantry and vehicle-based weapons, like the potent flamethrower, bring the battlefield ablaze.
Final Battles:

Call of Duty: World at War forces players to survive the final climactic days of a world at war to thwart the advance of Axis powers on multiple fronts from Europe to the Pacific – delivering the hallmark Call of Duty cinematic intensity on a worldwide scale. Play as a U.S. Marine or Russian conscript across a variety of European and Pacific infantry, vehicle and airborne missions. An all new depth of WWII-era combat variety, from the tactics and weapons to the unique and varying locations that traverse the ruins of Western Europe all the way to the harsh, wetlands of Imperial Japan, immerses gamers into an adrenaline-filled, epic struggle.

Co-Op Campaign Mode:

“No One Fights Alone” takes on new meaning as players can complete the entire single player campaign with up to four players online or two players via split-screen (both online and offline). Strategizing with others provides gameplay diversity, replayability and engagement. Complete unique co-op challenges to earn rewards and bragging rights. The title takes the perks, rankings and online stats that players love in multiplayer and builds them into the cooperative campaign as well, adding even more variety, replayability and continuous fun.

Addictive Multiplayer:

Call of Duty: World at War continues the addictive and leading class-based multiplayer action. The addition of vehicles to the highly-successful Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare multiplayer that already includes persistent experience, player rankings, upgradeable weapons, squad-based gameplay, map scripting, customizable classes and perks, brings a new dimension to Call of Duty online warfare.

Unprecedented WWII Cinematic Quality:

Utilizing the jaw-dropping and revolutionary Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War delivers an unprecedented level of visual and cinematic effects to WWII. Highly-detailed character models, self-shadowing, environmental lighting and amazing special effects up the WWII authenticity to new heights. Depth of field, rim-lighting and texture-streaming technology bring the adrenaline-pumping combat to life. Physics-enabled battlefields and destructible cover immerse players into the harrowing and dynamic combat.

yea, co=op campaign will be the shit.

Just a reminder you can register at callofduty.com if you don't want to pre-order.


Call of Duty: World at War completely changes the rules of engagement by redefining WWII gaming and thrusting players into the final tension-filled, unforgiving battles against a new ferocious enemy in the most dangerous and suspenseful action ever seen in WWII. Powered by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare technology, Call of Duty: World at War brings an uncensored edge to combat, as soldiers face the most harrowing and climatic European and Pacific battles in which an enemy, who knows no surrender and no retreat, will fight to the last breath, unleashing an arsenal of lethal surprising tactics.
Peril and danger lurk throughout the battlefield as players combat the unknown risk of the new chaos of battle.

Yeah, from my understanding, there is no physical "token". You have to pre-order with a legit e-mail address, and they will use the pool of e-mail addresses to give out instructions on the beta. Also, I don't think the size of the beta v. the number of pre orders + CoD website registrations has been hashed out yet, so maybe everyone is in, maybe 50%, maybe 5%.

when/if u get the code, email it to the rest of us...so we can have a Festivus! lol

4 player Co-op!??!?!?!?!!? I just got erection

Still waiting on the email w/ the beta token.Game stop still thinks I am crazy when I ask about it.We'll see what they have to say when I stop by the store on friday.

Here is an update I just found......

http://www.unscripted360.com/2008/09/05/call-of-duty-world-at-war-beta-october/

I was reading some forums on CallofDuty.com and several seem to think the beta token may come out as early as this Friday. That would be nice but I don't think I'll get to worked up about it. The way I read it, b/c I was signed up at CharlieOscarDelta.com and now I am registered at CallofDuty.com and transferred my info, I should be a lock to get a key.

Here's the latest via Intel section at the COD website.

Developer Blog - There is NO Day 1 DLC



Hey everyone,
I’ve seen a lot of discussions on the web today and wanted to send out a quick note to help clear up some questions.
To begin, please note that Treyarch is putting every ounce of our effort into making the best game we have ever made with Call of Duty World at War, and we are putting absolutely all of the content we can onto the disc, while maintaining the highest quality possible. I can confirm there will not be any game DLC available on day 1, contrary to popular rumor.
We do of course intend to support the community with robust and high-quality DLC after release, which we will start working on as soon as we wrap up the game (and some of the guys take a hard-earned break!), and I am looking forward to giving you details on that as soon as I can.
Mentions about Day 1 content are actually a reference to what the marketing guys have been calling a "Day One Advantage" or a "Tactical Edge," a program we have going with Gamestop. Users who pre-order Call of Duty World at War with Gamestop, or who buy the collector's edition from them, will get immediate access to a high-level rifle (for pre-orders) or LMG (for collector's edition) that other players will have to unlock via ranking up in multiplayer.
These early unlocks will be in addition to some other very cool added content available in the collector's edition, and are our way of saying "thanks" to the fans who pre-order or buy the collector's edition. Hey, everybody wants something extra if they pre-order or spend more on a collector’s edition, right? That’s all we’re talking about here.
I'm sure you'll see more about this from Activision's marketing team in the coming weeks.
Any references to Day 1 DLC are simple misunderstandings and hopefully this sets the record straight =). There will be absolutely no in-game content or weapons that you have to buy separately in order to unlock, so let’s get that out of everybody’s head right now =P.
Regards,
-JD

I'm gonna go ahead and say that I think the dogs will get old and having to listen to a Jack Bauer sound-a-like the whole game will wear on nerves.

Without yet watching the vids, I'm going to say a few words about the dogs in CoD4. They were stupid and lame. Anything similar in a game is cheap and dumb.

Ok. That's it. I'll watch the videos when this meeting is over.

well thats going to be something new bringing dogs in to a fight i wonder how many you can get, all i seen is a recon plane and artillery but what happens after that????
