Editorial Review:
Call of Duty returns, and to many people’s surprise, it’s going back to World War II. While original series creators Infinity Ward brought the series into the modern day, developer Treyarch are setting out to make the definitive historical first-person shooter.
The Soviet attack on Berlin features intense street battles
Take on the Japanese navy as you board a U.S. flying boat
World at War features the most realistic fire effects ever
The new ability to swim adds to both the story and multiplayer modes
The game is primarily set in the Pacific theatre and has a much more realistic, violent tone requiring less-linear game play than previous Call of Duty installments. You'll struggle to survive Japanese attacks without mastering new gaming skills, like swimming or how to use a flamethrower--a weapon that packs some punch in the fully destructable game world.
Also featured is a campaign on the Eastern front, where you take control of a soldier in the Soviet Red Army during the attack on Berlin in the closing stages of the war. The game also includes the series’ first co-op mode, while the competitive multiplayer mode aims to build upon the achievements of Call of Duty 4 and add to the game’s longevity.
Key Features
Dual campaigns: Fight in two very different World War II battles. Take on the Japanese Imperial army in the Pacific, and liberate Berlin as part of the Soviet Red Army.
Grim realities: Experience the most bloody and realistic combat ever seen in the series, as you witness enemy atrocities and wield horrific new weapons such as the flamethrower.
Job with benefits: Revamped competitive multiplayer mode features useable vehicles and an expanded perks system from Call of Duty 4.
Brothers in arms: For the first time, a Call of Duty game features a four-player co-operative mode that’s playable online or via a split screen option on the same console.
Modern graphics: The game uses an enhanced version of the Call of Duty 4 graphics engine, with wood that splinters realistically when shot and fires that spread organically.
About the Developer: Treyarch One of publisher Activision’s biggest internal studios, Treyarch have worked on many of the company’s best known titles, from the Spider-Man movie tie-ins and spin-offs to several of the Call of Duty sequels and the new James Bond game, Quantum of Solace.

Call of Duty 4 alot better. COD 4 is so much better than the new COD 5. I think in COD 5 the single player game is to short, and has a really bad ending. Yes the flame thrower is fun, but just makes the game to easy. Cod 5 online is also poor compared to Cod 4, the weapons are boring and the maps are poor. i really looked forward to this game, but in the end was dissapointed. I hope in the future when Cod 6 is realeased they come back to modern warfare, as im fed up with the same old world war 2 games.
COD 5 This game needs you.... Solo game = 5 Stars
Co-Op = 5 Stars
Online = 5 Stars Finish the Solo campaign and you get a wicked bonus level.
Great Game , Worth It . Call Of Duty 4 ( COD 4 ) Is An Amazing Game , And I Thought COD 5 Would Be A Waste Of Time , But I Was V Wrong haha , its an amazing game , the storyline is good , online is good the maps are alot bigger , and after you've completed the storyline , you get an extra level called nazi zombies , now i thought this would just wreck the game , you are in a house , and zombies come , more and more after each stage , they brake open the window's everything , its a great add to the game and you keep on having more... more info
Backward! Really dissapointing is how i would sum up the new CoD. While the first player campaign is fun when you first play it theres no playback ability because it gets monotonous very quickly. The multiplayer online is dreadful because of poor weapon balance, rubbish new perks and maps which invite camping on a level i dont think ive ever experienced on a game. Overall just dont bother.
