CoD: WaW Re-Review (as the old one sucked).

Call of Duty: World at War is very fun, but being so old it has its many flaws, here I will go into detail on how good the game is, its problems, and what effect the passage of time has had on it.

Call of Duty: World at War has all of its grounds covered. It has a fantastic campaign with a rich story, an amazing and once addictive multiplayer (I'll get on the "once" part later), and an experimental zombies mode which would definitely not turn into a staple of Call of Duty later. World at War was the beginning of Treyarch's involvement in the CoD series, and they would quickly make a name for themselves with World at War. Though it is their first game, they very quickly prove themselves capable of developing a Call of Duty even though they didn't have as much experience as Infinity Ward. They managed to create a campaign that retold WWII in a different aspect that not many games looked into, instead of just showing the American side they give the Russian side as well. The American Plot takes place on Makin Island, while the Russian plot takes place from the Slaughter of Stalingrad to the Takeover of Berlin. These two aspects make the gameplay of each very different from eachother, which allows the game to come up with many good ideas and keeps the game feeling fresh and exciting.

The Multiplayer was also a lot of fun to play, and was addicting. The gun-play was pretty good and the progression through levels felt natural. Even though there was a level system, it didn't take hours of grinding just to have fun, the game starts you off with guns that are serviceable and still give you a chance to rival higher leveled players. Though this is good and all, the game was made in 2008 and time hasn't treated it well. The engine has issues when alt-tabbing and other things that force you to sign out of your pc or restart it. Sometimes mechanics can be buggy as well, as the game is pretty old. Not many people play World at War, feeling this progression at a constant is pretty much impossible as multiplayer is pretty empty, not much to talk about here.

Zombies is a mode that is as (if not more) addicting as multiplayer. It's addictive nature is timeless as well, as it does not require other players to have fun in. Zombies works fairly well, though some mechanics can feel buggy (like knifing or zombie hits), but it is still a very fun and addicting game to play. Not only that, but you can install mods to add new guns and maps to zombies to play alone or with friends! (Though there is this rare glitch that can effect your mods and not allow you to play them, this glitch is extremely rare as I saw only one person talking about it on the steam forums. Though I would usually think the guy was lying, it is also effecting me and I can't play mods. I believe it has to do with how old World at War is, and how old software and hardware that the game uses isn't being used much anymore. Even with this information, I highly doubt it'll effect you, it seems very rare).

TLDR: Game is fun and story, multiplayer, zombies are well done. Game is well made, but mechanics can be buggy. Mods are available for download on places like UGX.

Thank you for ready the very long, but also summarized review of Call of Duty: World at War!
