-------------
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 s 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 and fires that spread ally.
