Call of Duty: World at War throws out the rulebook of war to transform
WWII combat through a new enemy, new tactics and an uncensored
experience of the climatic battles that gripped a generation. As U.S.
Marines and Russian soldiers, players will employ new features like
cooperative gameplay, and weapons such as the flamethrower in the most
chaotic and cinematically intense experience to date.
Call of Duty 4 Technology – Built using the Call of Duty 4: Modern
Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War utilizes a bedrock of technology
that delivers jaw-dropping visuals, while empowering players to employ
elements like fire to affect the dynamics of the battlefield. Players that
attempt to harness the power of new weapons, like the flamethrower, will
find themselves capable of burning away environmental elements that give
cover to a camouflaged enemy, leaving a charred battlefield – and their foes
– in their wake
Coordinated Assault and Support – For the first time in the franchise,
Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-op, bringing fresh meaning to the
No One Fights Alone mantra. Call of Duty: World at War co-op features up to
four-players online, or two-player local split-screen, allowing gamers to
experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie
and tactical execution. The title also incorporates traditional multiplayer
components such as challenges, rankings and online stats into the co-op
campaign for deeper re-playability and advanced gameplay
New Theaters of Operation – Players fight as U.S. Marines and Russian
soldiers facing enemies – some new to the Call of Duty franchise – that
employ lethal new tactics and know no fear, no mercy, nor the rules of war.
Epic conflicts are fought on multiple fronts, playing through the climactic
battles of WWII in the grittiest, most chaotic and cinematically intense
experience to date
Innovative Multiplayer – Multiplayer builds from the success of Call of
Duty delivering a persistent online experience for more squad based
interaction. New development with party systems allows an intimacy with
squad based combat never before seen in Call of Duty. Combined infantry and
vehicle missions add a new dimension to the online warfare and offers more
PERK abilities
Cinematic Quality Graphics and Sound – Treyarch's award-winning sound
department returns with effects that add to the already immersive cinematic
intensity of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare game engine
