Call of Duty: World At War

Recommended Posts

Emasher, what you should do is pretty obvious.

Even though my parents are smart and don't think the problem resides on the games but on the education (not that i'm caling your parents dumb, of course), i know what to do so that the stores don't get me.

 

You buy online, simple...

Online they don't have any way to ID you, right? And you can say your parents that it is a game for Everyone, and then buy it and not show them, simple...

 

Well, if you get busted, you would be in problems, but if you think its worth the try, then do it

From Nintendo Voice Chat:

 

Bozon:

 

- Single Player is actually really fun. Lotta action going on on-screen

- Controls not perfect. Doesn't touch MoH:H2 or The Conduit (but presumably better than Call Of Duty 3 - D_prOd)

 

- Multiplayer is very fun

- 16 player max (8 v 8) - same as PS3/360 version

- No Headquaters, Conquest or Capture The Flag at all. Probably because they get quite complex and use vehicles (Wii version doesn't have vehicles)

- No mention of Nazi Zombie mode (is that one of the above? - D_prOd)

- Couple of the larger maps may be absent from Wii version, though he's not too sure

- Runs incredibly smoothly, despite being skeptical. Had one problem where shooting a close-up enemy wouldn't actually hit 99% of the time. It's the Mario Kart symptom; shows everything running totally lag free, but if a player doesn't have too strong a connection, it's gonna seem weird and disfunctional.

- Create a Class, etc gonna add an absolute tonne of longevity

- All round, probably the strongest multiplayer Wii game.

 

- Review tomorrow

 

My order is firmly sticking. Can't wait!

Except for the fact that I don't own a credit card and would need to go through my parents to buy a game online. And showing them this sort of thing is the last thing I should probably do tbh. But thanks for the ideas.

 

The "no CTF for Wii" is putting me off a little now though.

Capture the Flag is Meh anyway, every other online shooter has it, or some variation of it anyway. Shame about Heaquarters though. By far the best mode has gotta be Search and Destroy for me. After Team Deathmatch its the most played game type on CoD4.

Ugh, No capture the flag? WTF!! Still I'm enjoying the QoS multiplayer which is good. So I'll def be getting this, please Bozon has confirmed 8 on 8 like the other consoles. I'm looking forward to the full reviews and full lowdowns on the multiplayer. I've heard it has achievements and rankings.

Capture the flag is bollocks anyway. For me, straight deathmatch is the only way to go; though team deathmatch is okay of you know everyone else.

 

I think I'm going to get the wii version of the ps3/360 version. I love the wii for controls on FPS too much!!

 

WHich version you getting MATtheHAT?

Good stuff! We had some good games on Medal of Honour :D Isn't that how you found this site? I set up a room called N-Europe :D

 

Depedning on reviews I may get both versions; but the PS3 version will have to offer a much better experience; 2 of my housemates are getting 360 version so I can play that.....we'll see......

Just played a little about 20 min, but didn't really like it. The controls work, but take some experimenting to get the sensitivity down (nothin unusual though, still work better than dual analog), but it feels weird (but works fine) when using the sights, which I suppose is why there's an option to use the analogue. What really bothered me was that sometimes shot seemed to just... get lost in between. But I'm kinda tired and was playing on a small TV, which with all the camouflage and whatnot makes it hard.

Graphics aren't pushing the Wii by any means, but looks better than usual and lots of action going on no doubt. Also, kiefer sutherlend as a VA= win (although he's not very good, but his voice is still awesome)

IGN - 8.0 http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/929/929080p1.html

 

Sounds very positive, surprised at the score in comparison to the text. Also, the next gen versions got 9.2 and seems to have a lot more content..... but I know more people with Wiis, cheaper and I love FPS controls...

 

Who's getting it and when? I was planning on getting it for xmas but I may get it this weekend (bringing my weekend gaming budget to £250....in a WEEKEND!!!) if a few people are up for a bit of deathmatching!!

Daz, for the love of god, get the PS3 version. I love the Wii controls as much as the next man. But this game is all about the eggbox/PS3.

No games - other than Resistance and MGS - is all about the PS3. If I was gonna get this on any other system it would the 360 or the PC. 360 because they have the best online system, and the PC because mouse/keyboard rocks for FPS games.

I haven't read all the review yet, but the score was pretty much what I was expecting. Real shame about the lack of online modes (though I was always skeptical). Having said that, deathmatches are probably what I'd be on most of time anyway. Come to think of it, BWii's online wasn't exactly fleshy (and it was only 1 v 1) and it still managed to steal my life everyday for about six months. Controls don't worry me. I assume they're tighter than CoD 3, and I was absolutely fine with that (though bugs and slowdown came close to ruining it, unfortunately). Oh, and I even got used to Red Steel's controls pretty quick :heh:

 

Quick update on my order from Play.com. I checked earlier and it said it had declined my card. Gee, nice of them to NOT send me an e-mail about it. Basically, the pre-saved card details on the account that I used was from an older Solo card, so I just changed it and it's being processed now. Hopefully it'll go through today and I can get it by Friday. Then I'll set up some FC swapping over the weekend.

The biggest myth the world has ever seen, what advantages does the 360s online service have over the PS3? I have one advantage for PS3......it's free! I have both and I get ALL crossplatforming games on PS3!

What do you mean eggbox....:blush:

 

I'm thinking about it; I'll see what the 360 versions like and if I think it's a goer I'll get it.

 

Eggbox = Xbox!!! I getcha :)

 

Cancelled the Wii version with my mum for xmas and ordered from game. Hopefully here by Friday :)

 

Check out the 360 version at the weekend and then may get the PS3 one too! But it must be INCREDIBLE for me to even consider!

lol no games. The only games worth mentioning that Xbox has that PS3 does not is Halo (meh) and Gears (awesome, gonna buy an Xbox just for Gears 2). I agree the Xbox does have a better online system, but the PS3 is catching up.....fast.

If its anything like CoD4, which it looks like it is, then it will be incredible.

 

Oh and Eggbox = Xbox. Both have stuff inside that breaks easily :heh:

Don't buy an eggbox just for gears 2? I'll lend you mine for a weekend, thats all you'll need ;)

 

After this weekend I'll have a good grasp of the next gen version and the wii so will post my thoughts on both versions. And if it's THAT good, then I'll look forward to teabagging you on both versions MAT :)

I just bought it...

In a few words the game is awesome!

It's a class above CoD3.The graphics are marvelous with great lighting and stable 30fps.The stages are very big and epic and the overall package is very good.I played 2-3 online matches and I can confirm that there is absolutely no lag and the options are very detailed.

All in all very very good game and for every FPS fan this is an instant buy.

 

My only gripe at the moment is the gigantic save file:63 non copiable blocks!

 

Feel free to ask me anything you want.

 

See you later!

Major gripe that one, if publishers continue to make saves non-copiable, we may just have yet another, more serious storage issue. Link it to the Wii system number, sure, but let us copy it!

Here are some vids I recorded. My impressions so far are it has pretty good controls( a little below MOHH2),decent graphics and challenging gameplay. I'm going to try it out later on my HDTV to see if it looks better but on my SDTV I think it looks about the same as COD3(at least so far)

Now that's what I call a sackboy!

 

Multiplayer is nice, but deathmatch only. Challenges, perks, weapons, levels and leaderboards are in, though co-op campaign, objective modes, vehicles, and zombie mode aren't. Online runs well though.

 

No Zombie mode in the Wii version - I'm gutted.

Up theirs indeed. I can understand that getting the COD4 engine to run on Wii is a big accomplishment, but surely that little extra could be added.

 

It is what tips the scale towards a big no no to me, until I see it discounted somewhere.

You know you want to get the PS3 version as well. That way you AND Daz get the taste of my salty balls in your mouths.
