Default Re: Call of Duty: World at War Beta

thanks to our penguin friend I got in. The whole thing takes some getting used to. Something feels off about it.

It doesnt look as nice as cod 4 and the weapons dont feel as powerful or real. The maps do not look as polished ad cod 4 either.

Its basically a cod 4 clone in a WWII package, however this kinda betrays the experience for me. You can make all your classes and choose the weapons you want just like normal, but I find it hard to believe that an American marine in the pacific would be fighting with german weapons. It just feels weird.

Also it seems that you have to earn the scope for your rifle to turn it into a sniper . This can be frustrating because they are slow bolt action and they dont kill in one shot. I had to shoot a guy 3 times with one at close range to kill him. They will probably work better in hardcore mode.

Artillery lasts too long and makes you stunned from afar. Dogs... god damn them. They take about half a mag to kill and they jump around. You can knife them but if there is more than 1 you are screwed. They lead they enemy right to you, and they tend to sneak up on you. You can at least hide from a helicopter. Tanks are way to powerful. I hit one twice with a bazooka at the side and then with a sticky nade on the rear and it was still alive.


Other than that it was fairly positive. Fun, but not too fun. Im still on the fence weather to buy it now. However im leaning on the "no" side more.
