It feels like CoD4 back in WWII. It took everything good about COD4 and feels like a very good mod. Suppressors back in WW2 hardly makes sense, but whatever...lol

The game is fun, but aiming with a bunch of semi-automatics on the 360 is a little hard, so I'll most likely pick up the PC version. Tanks aren't overpowered at all and add a lot of fun to the level.

Graphically, it's CoD4 with some improvements including a lot of gore. Legs like to fly once a few explosions go off. Nades are nerfed and it's range reduced. Knifing is more popular than ever since a lot of people have semi-autos, but there's no Hardcore mode in the beta yet, so that might change.

Overall 8.7641/10


Any questions?

It's friends and family only, but apparently if you pre-order at Gamestop? you are guaranteed to get in.

Yea, they sent out the preorder tokens sometime last night and today, but I got my token for being a supposed VIP member on callofduty.com since I tested CoD4 in Friends and Family. Anyone registered on callofduty.com, check your account page and a code might be waiting there for you.

I just received another code for the Endwar VIP demo when I never even preordered it, or showed any interest in it...lol

Token?  How does this work?  I didn't realize that there was anywhere to DL COD5 stuff in the marketplace.  Do they send out a new disk?  Can some of us just "pass around" someone else's  token?

I should have a few extra keys early next week. Oh, and watch out for the numbnuts that have modded controllers. They make the Gwehr look automatic.

Suppressors are not a recent innovation.  OSS used them during WWII.

Yea, but was it so common to see it on every Thompson and rifle in the game? It was used by some of the Air Corps on their handguns along with a lot of CIA personnel, but the fact that everyone is running around with a silencer on their Thompson is kind of absurd.

Frankly, after the success of CoD4, I think WWII again, is a major step backward.

Yeah, I agree, but I'm willing to give them a benefit of a doubt.  It also bothers me that the developer isn't the same as the one for COD4.

I just got back from Game Stop.  Pre-ordered Gears 2 and COD5.  Their poster said that a Beta was available while supplies lasted but none of the employees had gotten anything from above stating anything.  He said to call back in a couple of days and if they had any he'd hook me up.

The PC beta has gone quiet. They haven't talked about it at all since the 360 beta has been released. :(

Doesn't sound like you will need a code for the PC one though, they might just call it a demo.

I just got mine yesterday.  If you migrated your charlieoscardelta account to the new site and haven't gotten one, post here and i'll tell you what to do..

Initial impresions: Since it is using the COD4 engine, it feels the same and has the same HUD exp system, challenges etc.  The only difference is obviously the WWII setting.  It has the color scheme of COD3 though.

I'll answer any questions.

1. Do you like it?
2. Do you think the setting detracts from COD4?
3. Do you think the weapons are diverse enough? I really felt that in COD4 85% of the weapons had something different about them that made each unique in certain situations.

Call of Duty 5 beta keys all gone! Blog entry by Tom Bramwell
After more traffic than we can ever remember (and we used to live next to a roundabout), the Call of Duty: World at War beta keys are all gone! Congratulations if you got one.

In the end we had 20,000 of the things, and all of them were gone within an hour of posting them on the site. Despite a few hiccups earlier in the day, the servers even managed to maintain their dignity throughout. Well, mostly.

The good news, however, is that if you missed out you can still get a key by visiting GAME and pre-ordering Call of Duty: World at War. GAME pre-orders on Xbox 360 are guaranteed a key.

Look out for more on the COD5 beta - including our impressions - soon.

If you pre-ordered from Game Stop email them at [email protected] and they will send you a code.  I got mine and I'm playing now.

You'll need you send your pre-order code and the date/store info (on your receipt in an XXXXX/XX-XX format).
