I am mostly looking at the CoD2 -> CoD3 jump.

CoD2 had some great set pieces. It had a pretty memorable and compelling single player and the multiplayer was fluid, easy to pick up, and a good deal of fun.

For CoD3 they set it in a portion of the war that many didn't know a whole lot about and the set pieces were just boring. They completely screwed up the multiplayer by adding in all the vehicles and the game shipped with completely broken multiplayer. For the first several days i was unable to get a single ranked or unranked match... that is absurd for a Live title. Vehicles were just broken.

I did like the character classes having different skills but those skills weren't usable outside of just a couple modes.

Thankfully i think CoD4 did the character class thing correctly.

too many ww2 shooters out there. Why cant they have a ww1 call of duty instead?

Because a mission where you stand in a trench for two hours -- at the end that time you are finally able to jump out, run 3 feet, and get killed -- doesn't make for good gameplay.

I know I shouldn't be laughing, but jesus christ, hahaha.

Yea not much to expect in a WW1 game. My two wishes for COD were Pacific campaigns or the already mentioned Vietnam.

There are a lot of things that they could do with either one. Hopefully the game is better than COD3 though.

Here's an idea that hasn't really be done (Timesplitters doesn't count) Why can't you have a game that follows a families bloodline through different wars. Kind of like how COD4 had two stories going at once. Plus if done right you could feel a real connection with the characters, and you could get a couple wars out of it, and different weapons it would help keep it fun.

You already kind of follow the Price family and their ancestry through the different wars, but, yeah, that would be kind of a neat idea, I think.

I really don't understand all the hatred for COD3. The single player wasn't fantastic, but it wasn't bad, and the multiplayer (post-release jitters accounted for) was a huge improvement over 2. The flow is much better, and there isn't the feeling that you're just playing a Counterstrike WWII mod.

I'd rather have COD: Civil War.

I'm with you guys, I'm much more excited about Brothers in Arms than another Treyarch CoD sequel. Though having it set in the Pacific could help.

My standards aren't pretty high for this one so hopefully things will come out ok. All the world war stuff has been done to death and then done again. If they can figure out just ONE single thing that works and will set this game apart from the hundreds of other world war games out there I will be pleased. I would also like to see the achievement system like the ones from COD 2 and 4 where they are all main game and then you can unlock other stuff that is a separate reward for playing multi.

Call of Duty Premiere on Xbox Live
World at War trailer this week.
by Martin Robinson, IGN UK
UK, June 17, 2008 - Call of Duty: World at War is to be given its first public airing this week, with a trailer coming exclusively to Xbox Live Marketplace over the weekend.

A follow-up to the trailblazing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the next instalment is a return to the theatre of the Second World War, focusing on combat throughout the Pacific and Europe.

The trailer will be available from June 21-22, so make some time in your busy weekend schedule, while the game is looking to bring the whole family together with its gritty depiction of warfare when it comes out this Christmas

As I said elsewhere, give me CoD: Revolutionary War.

It'll bring teabagging to the Boston Tea Party.

The whole family? "Hey kids, gather around and learn why grandpa hated Japanese people so much!"

I know, I thought the same thing (as in "why did they put that in there?")

Saw the trailer earlier today on xbox live - didn't really do much for me as they didn't show too much gameplay - The tree climbing looks cool though.

Feh. If they really want to impress me they'd let you play the Japanese or German side.

Unless this somehow turns into the second coming of christ, I think I'll pass.

Wow. That trailer really looks like this game is taking a huge step back compared to COD4.

How so? As far as I can tell, it was all cutscenes and with no gameplay footage. Hard to make a determination one way or the other from that.

Trailer looked alright, definitely did not seem to take a huge step backward at all. The one thing that has my interest is that there will be 4 player co-op. While I love MP, I always play a lot of these games and wish instead of AI squadmates in the main story I instead had a couple friends to try it out with.

Amazon.com are taking preorders for this game due out November 11th.

I didnt want to begin a new thread, this COD one will do.

I was just looking at the playstation 3 games on wikipedia and noticed that COD 3 was released on the PS3, what is the difference between the ps2 and ps3 versions of the game?
