Why is COD5 multiplayer so popular? - Page 3

The maps in WaW are definitely better than 4's for me. The reason is that the jungle terrains provide for some intense and claustrophobic fighting. Most of the maps in 4 were bombed buildings, which is mundane to me.

If your not a big fan of sci-fi games such as Halo, GOW. COD4 or WAW are great alternative. And in my opinion are easier to pick up and play. Ive personally logged about 10 days of playing time on COD4 and about 12 days.....and counting on WAW. Yeah i know im looser and no life blahblahblah. But im gonna be playing the hell out of this game until MW2 comes out.

A shooter is a shooter its not a rocket science formula but what sets one shooter apart from another is the "atmosphere"...the feel of it.

World at War MP seeps atmosphere, its grimy, its messy and its a downright killzone, from your bloodied stump of a leg having wandered into a betty to getting a faceful of Alsatian dog.

When I play WaW multiplayer I think, "yeah, this can't be that far off what the landscape was like"...the program crew have really put the effort in with the little touches that an old school gamer notices. On the German / Russian maps there are times when your view gets obscured by a sudden cloud of smoke, on the Jap maps there are swarms of flies.

The guns are old and "clunky", in computer terms they are analogue giving a nice solid "rat-a-tat-a-tat-a-tat" rather than modern 100,000 rounds per minute of point and spray "kill EVERYTHING"....WaW is all about gory subtlety that not everyone will get.

Of course its horses for courses, one gamers nirvana is anothers dullsville but IMO every single World War II shooter in gamerworld has led up to the ultimate pixelated expression of that conflict in WaW multiplayer, and I should know having started off on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum in 1982.

I used to play C.O.D online it was good for a short time but got boring,my father on the other hand plays 4+5 around 18 hours a day i dont see the attraction.I didnt mind it till it got too easy (241 win streak free for all) then gave up plus the amount of abuse that goes on in the game is just sick i prefer halo better.

Its a great game online. The best Army style first person shooter online. Lots of games modes, even zombie mode alone can be played for weeks.

One of the main things that sets COD WAR multiplayer apart from the rest is that is has so much depth. You not only login and play, but as you kill people and gain experience you unlock all your new weapons. So if you just started out, you really have to get out there and fight against people who are already good and have better weapons than you. You earn your rankings, and that makes it very fun to continue playing.
