We were lucky enough to get our hands on the beta test for Call of Duty: World at War and, from what we can tell, it will definitely present a real challenge to its Xbox Live rivals this holiday season.
However, before we’d even played the game, we had a few reservations about CoD:WaW.
Kill Streaks Our concerns were quite simple - they didn’t have UAVs in WW2, or helicopters for that matter. That just leaves Airstrikes. Would the Airstrikes remain? You’ll have to keep reading to find out.
Weapon Sights
What would the game’s developer do about weapon sights to compete with Modern Warfare? This was a concern that was echoed all across the Call of Duty community, and we’re pleased to announce this issue has been addressed and we’re impressed with the result.
Treyarch
The developers have endured a massive amount of criticism for taking on CoD:WaW because of how shamefully bad CoD3 was, both on and off-line, but people forget that Treyarch only had a year to develop CoD3. They’ve have had two years to develop World at War and it definitely shows!
Not another WW2 Shooter
Yes, the main concern had to be “Oh no not ANOTHER WW2 Shooter!” A sentiment that was rife online and in a lot of the stores displaying CoD:WaW posters and adverts. Well, this game is different but you’ll need to read the rest of the article to find out why.
Soul Calibur 4 is the sixth instalment in a series that started in arcades nearly 12 years ago, and we’re eager to see what new spins this latest version offers.
The story revolves around two swords, Soul Edge and Soul Calibur. Soul Edge started off as a normal sword forged by man until after years of bloodshed and battle, it gained a soul of its own. Then someone forged a sword to counteract its effects, Soul Calibur. Now that the fluff is out of the way I can finally get into how the game plays.
Treyarch have announced today that they will be releasing exclusively to the xbox360 marketplace the trailer for Call of Duty 5: World at War including in game footage. But it will only be available from a short period between the 21st and 22nd of June so if you do want a sneak peek then don’t delay as it won’t be there for ever. If you can’t wait till then 9 screenshots have been leaked breaking the embargo that was supposed to last till the 23rd, you can find these screenshots here (link) enjoy.
It seems theres another case of marketing departments dropping the ball, when this week it seems as though some eagle-eyed viewers have spotted what seem to be the new tracks for release in Rock Band.
In an advert airing on MTV in the US promoting Rock Band, there is a quick scroll through the list of songs available for download. If you look carefully then you can see some songs previously unseen which contain the tag “NOT READY TO TEST”.
G-Unit member Tony Yayo has been quoted saying the the new 50-Cent adventure, Blood on the Sand; is “looking as good as Gears of War”. Apparantly, EPIC’s Mark Rein has been reported saying that during a preview last year he was ‘blown away’.
Heavy words indeed, but Im not sure I can forgive Fiddy for the abomination that was Bulletproof but it seems as though the dev team are making a genuinely good game rather than a companion for the latest album.
