Seems people are getting this early as expected. (will be getting mine at midnight on thursday)
so here we go! have fun...

Rossco08 · 13-11-2008, 8:23 PM

There was 26000 people online when i was playing it this afternoon so quite a few people have it early it seems

I have to say that i went into this not expecting much and putting the success of COD4 aside, this is a bloody good game.

Online is the same as COD4 there, so it get's my vote. The dogs are cool too.

Single player looks and plays great. As always, the driving levels are naff but i'm used to that.

I have to say that this is the best WW2 Game ever, but as we know the genre is getting tiresome and i hope they move onto more moderns wars

timus · 13-11-2008, 10:06 PM

I have to agree i have been very impressed it looks great and plays great. Online multiplayer is great it seems im just as crap on World at war as i am at COD4 LOL!!!!

You fancy having a bash at that zombie thing when you have completed it(unlocks on first completion) mate looks like fun....

BenchyUK · 13-11-2008, 11:22 PM

Sure. I think i must be a few levels away from finishing thr single player. Definately want a bash on Zombie mode

Kryptix · 14-11-2008, 1:43 AM

I'll be playing tomorrow -- looking forward to it.

Gazaman · 14-11-2008, 7:55 AM

When playing the online co-op campaign,is it identical to playing alone but with friends?
Me and a couple of mates gave it a try last night but found it a little dissapointing!

Yup, same here! Everyone says its just "COD4 in WW2" - which is fair to a point, but its so much better than that. The new MP maps are really cool - wish they had upped the number of players to at least 12 to make up for the larger areas, but its not a major problem.

I crap myself everytime the dogs are released! I have a phobia of dogs anyway and to hear them running around barking terrifies me - I run into a corner and hide just swiping my knife with my eyes closed till the barking stops

So really like it - know what you mean about the WW2 setting though, I was thinking last night, how about a "COD: Terminator" edition, set in the (distant) future where you have the rebels and the robots... might be cool

*phairplay* · 14-11-2008, 9:54 AM

okay then you lucky ppl that have already played it,
i'm debating weather i should get this or not.

ppl are saying that really it's just a update from cod4 but why change a formula that works.I know BenchyUK said it's the best ww2 game ever but it's it better then cod4?

m4rkie23 · 14-11-2008, 9:59 AM

difficult to say if its better than cod4.
its no worse. but i dont think by 1 day or so after the release people will be able to properly comment.
it is very good. VERY graphic. same graphics and engine as cod are visible. good soundtrack!

and keifer is voicing.

Love you keifer!!!!

Toon · 14-11-2008, 10:04 AM

Only played a few games last night but I'm loving it... Very good WW2 game

HimIndoors · 14-11-2008, 10:08 AM

I'm not quite sure what is going on with the experience points. We were told before that all game modes (private, co-op and single player would add xp, but it doesn't seem to be happening

P-e-G-i · 14-11-2008, 10:11 AM

Sounds good, Let's hope my brand new asda has it this afternoon.

hammers1 · 14-11-2008, 10:16 AM

I think the single player game is great. Possibly better than COD4.

But I can't seem to get to grips with the online game. The maps all seem much bigger than COD4 and all the players seem to be smaller so I'm finding it difficult to spot people at the moment.

Also some of the guns have a very small magazine (is that what you call it) and you need to reload after a couple of bursts which takes some getting used to.

HAving said that I've only played it online for a couple of hours so I'm sure I'll get used to it.

This is what I like, adds to the challenge

Shaunio · 14-11-2008, 10:21 AM

Love this, I actually prefer the multiplayer on this over COD4, hard to put my finger on why but something about the atmosphere makes it feel nicer to play

It's pretty gory in places though isn't it! I got blown up with a grenade (or two lol) last night and it blew my legs off!

Also Kiefer gets a bit angry sometimes and swears his head off lol

Only played the first mission in the campaign so far but looks really good, then switched over to multiplayer for a bit

i would call that a good thing so ppl can not just stand there unload a clip and hope they hit someone..you have to really work for a kill.

It certainly does. I think I just fear change.

That's also very true. I never thought of it like that. I'm sure i'll get used to it soon.

m4rkie23 · 14-11-2008, 11:53 AM

just leveled up online 5 levels in 2 matches. only having played 2 games, it is very good! big maps. am only doing the beginner maps (levels 1-8) but will complete the game before i spend too much time online!

The Fuggler · 14-11-2008, 12:32 PM

As someone who has not played any of the previous versions, it might be quite good to get a few of us noobs together for some multiplayer practice at some point, just so we can get to grips with the game without getting a pasting every time we set foot on a map. Any interest? [Waits for flood of FRs from people looking for easy kills

Anyone else want to they can.

I've only just got use to COD4 so this is a whole new ball game!

*dan25730* · 14-11-2008, 12:46 PM

Just got this this morning. Cant help feel a little let down by the MP graphics. I used to play COD4 loads on my old 360 and it deffo ran better and looked better than this. I guess it's the old PS3 not very good at AA problem. On a plus side the MP is fun, easy to level up I got to 7 on just a few games, it's alot easier to level up if you go for the boot camp challanges, i.e I just ran aroun with my knife out for a while and made 15 kills which gave me loads of xp.

That is pretty much the only reason I'm getting this

Bit crap you have to complete the game to unlock it but I guess it adds to the Trophy count!

Del Boy Smiffy · 14-11-2008, 1:43 PM

Can i play through the campaign online with a buddy?

beowulf · 14-11-2008, 2:13 PM

not bad at all , the maps look a bit ropey , but they are massive

the game has some interesting perks , overall 8/10 ( online )

not mad about the 3,5 & 7 kill streak items

7 and you get a load of dopey dogs - not exactly a combat helicopter is it !??

still prefer cod4 , but this is ok until rfom2 comes out !

I'm up for that. Never played any CODs before and am likely to be rubbish.
