A Poll on WaW

Ok, there is much debate on this forum about WaW and whether it is a worthy sequel to COD4 or not and if you like it/dislike it, will you still buy it and if so when?

I for one don't really get along with it, but others may. I will buy it, just not on the day of release. I've played the BETA now for several hours and am just not convinced by it.

This thread is simply designed as a poll to gage people's interest in the game and whether they will simply buy it based upon what they have seen so far, albeit only a BETA for now...

Thanks for the input, Chris.

Re: A Poll on WaW

Didnt we alreadly do this?

Sticking with COD4, or getting COD5?

Anyway I voted passing judgement for now as thats the closest to my opinion, i wont be buying it because im just not a fan of WW2 but Treyarch have actually exceeded my expectations with this game.

Re: A Poll on WaW

I'm cancelling my pre-order with Game although this is mostly due to the fact I have recently traded in a load of games and now have store credit. I think i will still wander in on the day of release to pick up a copy.

Re: A Poll on WaW

I have cancelled my pre order from shopto after playing the beta. I will wait for the reviews and maybe get it second hand for the single and co-op play.

Re: A Poll on WaW

I have it on pre-order and can't wait for it to come out. I only play multi-player though, I let the kids do single player.

Great link, thanks.

For those of you who can't be arsed watching, here's a synopsis (highlight to read - beware of spoilers!):

  • There will be a big surprise similar to Epilogue at the end of COD4 - it will blow you away.
  • Treyarch have introduced "Death Cards" which seem to be the equivalent of skulls in Halo3 - they allow you to select modifiers which add to the replay value of the game. For example, one death card, when enabled, makes the enemy explode when you get a headshot. Others do things like increase/decrease grenade damage. Sounds pretty cool.
  • When playing co-op, you can pick up XP which transfers to multiplayer, so you can rank up via co-op as well as in MP matches.
  • There are two specifically single-player sections to the campaign, but every other part can have up to four players.
  • All weapon sounds except flamethrower are from the real weapons. Flamethrower is done by mixing the sound of bunsen burners and squealing pigs!
  • There is an additional gameplay mode involving Nazi zombies! It's a co-op game unlocked when you finish the game. You fight off waves of zombies - waves are limitless. Treyarch can get to level 23...


My appetite is definitely whetted.

Re: A Poll on WaW

Definitely getting it. The only thing I really want them to change (glitches excepted) is more power to the single shot guns. Love the accuracy and range, but not when you have fire 5 shots to the head/chest to kill someone 100 yds away.
