call of Duty 5 : World at War is a lot like its predecessor, Call of Duty 4: Modern

Warfare. In most respects, this is a good thing. The guns are tightly tuned, the

tone is gritty and mature, and the action is exciting and fast-paced. It boasts the

same addictive multiplayer system as Modern Warfare, and even expands the

multiplayer possibilities by allowing four players to play through the campaign

cooperatively. Like every game in the series before Modern Warfare, this Call

of Duty takes place during World War II. World at War does an admirable job

of spicing things up, but between the well-worn source material and déjà vu

game mechanics, there is a pervasive familiarity to the game. Still, though World

at War lacks the freshness that made Modern Warfare such a hit, it nevertheless

provides a hearty, filling meal--one that shooter fans are sure to savor.

The most salient difference between World at War and Modern Warfare is the

WWII setting. In the campaign, you split time between two soldiers in two

offensive theaters: the Russian push out of their homeland and into the heart

of Germany, and the American struggle to wrest Pacific islands from the Japanese.

Though you'll alternate between them every few levels, the campaign feels like

one solid progression, thanks to the adept pacing.

Each soldier's journey begins at a low point. Weaponless and surrounded by

the enemy, you get a taste of the despair many soldiers are never rescued

from. Though the emotional tone eventually rises toward triumph, you never

quite forget the fate you nearly met. The first few levels are a hard scrabble

as you and your fellow soldiers try to gain a foothold for your country, while

later levels are suffused with a sense of hard-won momentum as you fight

bigger battles and push closer to your enemies' capitals. Throughout each

level you are accompanied by a superior officer who sets the emotional tone

through well-acted dialogue. The vengeful, spitfire Russian pumps up your

adrenaline to intoxicating levels, while the grim, determined American provides

a sobering influence. This grim sobriety is further enforced by the actual WWII

videos, photos, and statistics presented in stylish interchapter cutscenes. The

message is, by nature, a conflicted one: Though you may feel like an action hero,

you are actually participating in the most horrid of human endeavors. How you

ultimately feel about this message will depend on your personal disposition, but

suffice to say that the elevated emotional timbre makes for an exciting campaign.

Also exciting? Bayonets and flamethrowers, the two standout new weapons in

World at War. You wield both in the American campaign, using them to

enthusiastically dispatch enemies in trenches and fend off the aggressive banzai raiders.

These raiders snipe from the treetops, or pop out of holes and charge you with

merciless determination; this aggression makes the American campaign feel uniquely

tense. The Russian campaign is slightly more predictable, but it remains vigorous

throughout and ends in a spectacularly satisfying way. Explosions and gunfire will

cause enemies to lose limbs and copious amounts of blood, making World at War

a sight more violent than Modern Warfare. Still, in between the burning, stabbing,

and gibbing, there is a lot of crouching behind cover and picking off enemies with

your trusty rifle. This kind of action, and most of the other weapons, will feel familiar

to anyone who has played a World War II shooter before. It's a well-tuned and

exciting familiarity, but it doesn't make any notable leaps.

World at War does make a leap for the Call of Duty series by offering two-player

split-screen and four-player online cooperative campaign play. It's the same

campaign as the single-player experience, though the number of enemies increases

for every player that joins you. You can turn competitive scoring on and see who

can earn the most points by killing enemies or reviving teammates, and this adds a

bit of fun to the campaign and lightens to mood (it's hard to feel grim when there

are point values popping up all the time). There are also special items called death

cards in each level, and collecting these will allow you to enable a cheat for cooperative

play (for instance, enemies die by headshots only or headshots cause enemies to

explode). These add a little more spice to the pot, but the only tangible incentives

are challenges. Completing these tasks (such as kill 100 enemies with pistols or take

first 20 times in competitive co-op) will earn you experience points that go toward

your multiplayer rank (co-op is not similarly ranked). Cooperative play is fun in its own

right, but linking it to the addictive multiplayer ranking system

makes it relevant in a whole different way.



In case you missed it last year, the multiplayer system introduced in Call of Duty

4: Modern Warfare is fantastic, and World at War has updated it to fit its WWII setting.

The hook is experience points, which you gain by winning matches or completing one

of the aforementioned challenges. As you earn these points, you'll rank up and earn

access to new weapons, new accessories (like sights and suppressors), and new perks.

Perks are special abilities that grant you a wide variety of bonuses, but you can only

choose four (one of which is vehicle-specific). This introduces an engaging element

of customization: Will you choose to toughen up by increasing your health and bullet

damage, or will you go the stealth route and increase your sprint speed while becoming

invisible to enemy recon planes? Perks are well balanced, and you have multiple save

slots, which enable you to easily switch between your various pretweaked loadouts.

This allows you to take full advantage of this deep, engaging system that is just as great

this year as it was last year, albeit slightly less novel.

There are, of course, new maps, and the bonuses you earn for kill streaks have been

updated (notably, the attack helicopter you earned after seven kills in Modern Warfare

is now a pack of nasty attack dogs). There are also a few maps that support tanks,

powerful additions that mix things up without being too dominant. Most of the modes

remain the same, though some have received slight tweaks and Capture the Flag has

returned after a hiatus from Modern Warfare. The most striking new mode is actually

a cooperative game called Nazi Zombies, playable when you beat the campaign (or play

with someone who has). This absurd game puts up to four players in a house that is

being assaulted by the undead. Killing the fiends and repairing the barricades earns you

points that you then spend to replenish ammunition, buy new guns, and unlock new

areas of the house. Each subsequent wave brings tougher, faster, more numerous

enemies, and the game inevitably ends in grisly death. Though the random weapon

box, assorted power-ups, and skills of your teammates add some variation, each

play-through is similar to the last. Still, it makes for some intense, frantic fun and

provides a welcome, if slightly bizarre, change of pace.

By staying largely true to the formula that made Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare so successful,

Call of Duty: World at War has ensured a proven level of technical quality, particularly in the

multiplayer arena. On the other hand, one of Modern Warfare's strengths was its fresh

approach, and by embracing a familiar setting and familiar mechanics, World at War achieves

greatness but falls short of excellence. This is only a bad thing if you are expecting this

game to top its benchmark predecessor. If, however, you are hoping for an exciting

campaign, fun cooperative play, and engaging multiplayer action, then you'll

find a lot to be happy about in World at War.
