Call of Duty: World at War – Nothing More than a CoD4 Mod
For those of you waiting in earnest for the next installment in the Call of Duty franchise, known as Call of Duty: World at War, you shouldn’t hold your breath. From what I’ve seen and heard (from reliable sources), the next Call of Duty from Treyarch will be nothing more than a re-skinned, re-hashed version of Call of Duty 4. Looking for proof? Just take a look at this Call of Duty: WaW gameplay trailer.
Remind you of anything?
How about the same dull and drab color scheme reminiscent of nearly all CoD4 multiplayer maps. The trailer map looks like something straight out of Pipeline or Downpour. Even the mechanics of the game look exactly like its predecessor. Take a look at how the character moves when he sprints, how everything blurs around the gun when he iron sights, how knife lunge animation is exactly like that of CoD4.
Take a look at these perks which have been confirmed for CoD:WaW. Do they look familiar?
* Juggernaut (more health)
* Sleight of Hand (faster reload)
* Extreme Conditioning (longer sprint distrance)
* Martyrdom (drop live grenade when you die)
* Steady Aim
* Bandolier (larger magazine pack)
* Iron Lungs
* Stopping Power
* Deep Impact
* Sonic Boom
* Last Stand
* Monkey (better at climbing trees)
* Frogman (faster swim speed)
* Play Dead
* Crouch Sprinter
* Banzai
Still looking for more proof? How about quotes from gamers who have actually PLAYED CoD:WaW.
We just arrived at the nvision lan, here in San Jose. We were walking around checking everything out. And we were personally invited to test out Call of Duty 5 : World at war. They were running on the PC’s which were set up to run this new Unreal3D game. The CoD World at War game was installed on all these pc’s and we actually were running in 3D until we figured out how to turn off the 3D glasses lol. The game is very identical to CoD4 in the way it runs. It seems to be running on the same engine…..
…this game is LITERALLY CoD4 with world war 2 skins, maps, and weapons. The new maps look sick. We actually got the multiplayer mode working. The game is seriously pretty much complete except some maps have unfinished textures that just show up as pink blocks and other types of random stuff. Also, theres at least 18 multiplayer maps and some new game types. About 8 of the multiplayer maps are maps that appear to be made for vehicle warfare. There are new gametypes like Tank Warfare etc etc…they also have CTF still, sab, sd, etc… We didnt get to take a look at the scope or like 90% of the other weapons because like CoD4, you have to level your guy up and use create a class to get new weapons which we couldn’t do. …this is the first look literally anyone has had at the game.

Minimum PC system requirements… of course they are the same as Call of Duty 4.
Processor:
- AMD 64 3200+/Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz or better
Memory:
- 8 GB free hard drive space
- 512MB RAM (XP)/1GB RAM (VISTA)
Graphics:
- Shader 3.0 or better
- 256MB Nvidia Geforce 6600GT/ATI Radeon 1600XT or better
And there you have it. You will be paying $50 for nothing more than a WW2 mod for Call of Duty 4.

You are an idiot. All of your “confirmed” information is all wrong. That Perk list has since been proven it was fake. The person who posted it claiming he had access to MP at the nVision event was full of it, Treyarch even said they only broguht their SP builds of the game. If you didnt like CoD4 then you probably wont like CoD5 but isnt the idea of a sequel to build off its previous, and not complete throw out and change everything? Youre a joke.
You’re an idiot. “It looks the same as CoD4!”
Well no shit! Mr Sherlock, the game is using CoD4’s engine to make it better. You expect them to create there own engine? Obvcourse not, then it would be completely different to anything like CoD.
Well from what I have seen I agree- COD5 looks exactly like a COD4 mod. the gameplay identical, the graphics, the mechanics. upgradable weapons- scopes, silencers etc plus all the usual perks are there plus a few more. the recon plane= radar, artillery strike= reminscent of the airstrike & AI attack dogs replace the helicopter gunship. World at War will however include tanks.
Look hes Right, im playing the beta every day with my clan its just not worth paying $50 for the guns have bad reg the rifles don’t 1 shot unless you play hardcore or on a server with max health lowered, the Tommy doesn’t need zoom to be accurate just no scope and kill, The Grenades have low damage, its just COD4 with good maps, Bad guns, and not to mention the Bad sound, People walking around like they got chains on there body, i played cod4 at high skill level and now on cod5 im killing alot of people in wars but its just a shit Game COD4 is better
Pat Mac, I played cod4 at a very high competitive level and have been sponsored by organizations before and sent to LANs to compete with my hotel and air fair payed in full. The Nvision LAN was a VERY big tournament which featured CoD4 as an event. Obviously there are other players like myself who compete at a high skill level and I am friends with most of them. I personally have met the players who were asked to try out CoD5 and have played and competed against them throughout the majority of CoD4. I play on the PC btw, so I don’t play nooby games such as Halo.
I am pretty sure he is ironic!
The video looked really cool and realistic. Cod 5 looks good ^^
