Picked a copy of Call of Duty: World At War and had a play last night. Pretty awsome fun in co-op action. Me and my mate played for ages without to many issues. Anyone else got a copy?

I pretty much hated it, felt like a slower, rougher, more beta-esque version of COD4 if you ask me.

Tryarch didn't have the best COD reputation going into this (COD3, anybody?) and yet again prove to be a less able developer than Infinity Ward.

Roll on COD6, IW know how to get it right, COD2 was a better WW game than WaW I reckon.

I do like it but yeh its not as good as COD 4. I just wish they had co-op and a longer single player in cod 4.

Yes I have it but the problems with multiplayer co-op are an absolute killer. I haven't managed to host a single game successfully yet...

Quite amusing reading the COD forum threads on it though... You'd expect that level of passion if someone had decided to kill every single firstborn...

I got it and absolutly love it, prefer it over COD4.....but then again i dont see whats so wrong with COD3. To me COD3 and 5 have more action packed levels than COD4 did..

Cod 4 beater it is not, but the tanks man! Scary stuff. Also the damage to the models is a right laugh. Lost the whole side of my body the other nite to a Bouncing Betty.

check out www.britishroguewarriors.com for mature gaming. We have CoD4 and CoD5 servers up and running and the are punk buster streamed too.

Fair standard of play as well, so come test yourself :P

I love it, i've been playing it since it first came out.

Ranked up to lvl 32 then I decided it's time to reinstall Windows. I virtualised my old installation, reinstalled windows.

reinstalled the game, it found my account ( must use the CDKEY ) only im at rank 0! I figured it'll be stored online. Anyway - I mapped my virtual HDD of my old OS, found that most of my game settings was stored in My Documents for max payne etc. BUT NOTHING FOR COD!!!

Anyway, word of warning - theres a tool available that backs up your rank. Use that before reinstalling the game.

I've lost all interest in it now. Lost the will to live

one thing i detest about it is the fast rank servers. IF we had to rank up properly in COD4, then we should in COD5.

www.lutoniansuk.co.uk < my friends clan, I am a member and we play every night on COD4, or COD5. We also have 10 servers (various custom map servers, match servers, game servers).

Take a look

*EDIT* added xfire

cajtaylor on xfire also.

Im a huge COD fan, been playing the origional and the rest since it came out.
I got told COD5 would be coming with santa and so promptly bought a 8800GTX fully loaded, and made gaming sound. Then after XMas I decided the 17" acer didn't cut it any more and bought a 26" LG (AWESOME), which was purchased 3 days ago.

I then decided I NEEDED a razor 3G mouse, obviously a new headset, and im sick of using a pvc floor tile as a mouse mat and got one for laser mice.

now ....

I mention the chair is giving me back ache, and I could do with another and there was a silence where a normally sympathetic response would follow. I fear the festive spirit wore off quicker than normal, and feel my need for a new mobile phone may have to wait.


At least I have COD 5. Love it.

On a different note, what are the hardware requirements for both COD4 & COD5?

Cant comment on 4 but I have a E6750, 2gb ram, 8800gt, on XP, and COD 5 runs in 1920x1200 at full gfx settings without any problem. Was really suprised tbh as my PC isnt exactly gaming spec.
