Call of Duty : World at War information

Call of Duty : World at War - The Basics.



Video Trailer:


Release date - November 2008(unconfirmed)

Expected to be released on: Xbox 360, Wii, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, PC.




Cod:WaW is no longer involved in the modern warfare theme, much to many peoples dissapointment. It is back in the times of Cod2 and Cod3. It will be set in the pacific theater and eastern front of World War 2. You will play as the USA, and will be fighting the Japanese.

Infinity Ward are not making it, again to peoples dissapointment. It wil be published by Activision and developed by Treyarch.(Who did Cod3)

Treyarch promise 2-4 player co-op story mode, and 16 player online. Co-op story has a metagame option, just like Halo 3. Killing enemies gets you points, and you can buy additional perks either for multiplayer or co-op. Sounds good.

Call of duty : World at war is not called Cod5. However, in sequence it is the fifth Call of Duty.

More about Call of Duty : World at war

Better commands - The party leader is able to issue leaders to each member of the squad all at once, and indicating on the HUD where they are wanted. Squad members can be given names to suit their roles.

More destructible environments - Whether you decide to break or burn through them. Ropes are also provided, if your ever feeling nasty enough to hang somebody.

New perks - New perks are being released to suit the time period. Liked the kill streak bonus option in Call of duty 4 of calling in helicopters and UAVS? Too bad. They weren't invented yet!

Fancy a swim? - Swimming is now available. The more observant could use these for sniping positions.

Flamethrower - A flamethrower will be released for Cod:WaW.

Katanas - Katanas will be released for Cod:WaW. If you get to close to an enemy, they might just turn samurai on you.

Increased sound quality - While it's always been possible to hear when gunfire or enemy's footsteps are coming from, Cod:WaW goes one step further. Sound coming from behind a wall or building will be muffled. This brings increased realism and great new online play for the more experienced gamer.

Thats all for now folks. Lets hope Cod:WaW can live up to its high expectations just like Call of duty 4.

Gears Of War 2 - All you need to know part 2

Finishing Moves - All weapons have their own unique finishing move. The shotguns is like a golf club: You hold it by the barrell and slam it right into the enemies face. Lovely.

Chainsaw Wars - Even been faced with the situation in Gears of War when your both revving your chainsaw at each other? Well now rather then it being random, your chainsaws can collide and whoever mashes the B button fastest slices and dices their way through the enemies body.

Grenade suicide - Shot down while holding a grenade? Wait for your killer to come close before detonating it, blowing you and the annoying scumbag deep into the depths of hell. Grenades can also be planted on floors, walls, doors etc. Kinda like a proximity mine.

Portable Shields - Whether you decide to carry it around or plant it on the floor, its up to you. But don't get too comfortable.. Enemies can kick your shield over, it its planted.

New Characters

Tai Kaliso - A heavily tatooed character from a seperate COG squad. He is known as a 'tribal warrior' and is more thoughtful about the horrors of war.

Marie Santiago - Dominic Santiagos' wife. Dom is on a mission to find and save her from the locust horde.

The Chairman - Described as the 'new Colonal Hoffman'. He is gonna be the guy in charge this time. He is the ruler of Jacinto, which is the main surviving human city.

Dizzy Wallins - An ex-stranded. He pilots one of the grindlift derricks the COG forces use, and he's fiercely protective of it.

New Weapons




Poison Grenade - Enemies tagged with this nasty weapon will die a slow, painful death. Can also be thrown to prevent areas from being passed.



Gorgon Burst Pistol - Like walking around spraying bullets everywhere? This gun is for you.

A "new, big gun" - Bleszinksi says "Unloading certain weaponary into crowds of locusts is very satisfying."


Thats all on Gow2 for now folks. I for one can't wait for its release in November. Stay tuned for Call of Duty 5: World at War.

Thanks,

Gears Of War 2 - All you need to know part 1

Video gameplay trailer:

Release date: 30th November 2008

Expected to be released for: Xbox 360(exclusive)


Can't wait for Epics sequel - Gears of War 2? Then you are in the right place. Lead designer Cliff Bleszinksi(above) promises extra strategy, as the first Gears of War devolved into too many charge and evade battles.



So what else is new?

4 on 4 becomes 5 on 5 - More players per game = more action...Thats what we like!

New multiplayer modes - Epic has developed a standard Capture the flag gamestyle to a sort of 'Capture the CPU-Controller person' However, he isn't the most friendly of chaps and will put up a fight. The aim is to weaken him enough and take him to the designated point on the map.

Also new is 'WingMan' which is basically a standard deathmatch with a partner. Cliff Bleszinksi describes it as "If the other guy doesn't look like you, kill him." I'm sure fans of Halo 3 and team double clans will be happy to see this gametype.

Not enough? Good, as there is another new gametype.
Guardian - Similiar to Rainbow Six Vegas' 2 'team leader' game, this is said to be the remake of the deserted assassination, in the original Gears of War. Each team has a leader, and as long as you keep him alive - your team can respawn. Strategy is a must in this sequel!


The Meatshield - I'm sure if you have read anything about Gears of War 2 this topic would have come up. You are able to take a downed opponent hostage and let them absorb all the enemy fire while you laugh it off in their face.

The Scorcher - Oh yes... The flamethrower.



Described as "the most realistic flamethrower to have been seen in a video game" this is sure to be a hit. It is pictured above with new, tatooed character Tai Kaliso. A perfect active reload enables the flamethrowers range to increase.

Part 2 will be published tomorrow - Which informs on new finishing moves, new characters, chainsaw wars and of course, new weapons.
Don't you miss out!

Thanks,
