Call of Duty: World at War Preview


(what all the Germans are dead, well let's move on the the Japanese)

Looks like WWII isn't over yet. After being spoiled by high powered modern weapons, it's back to Thompson machine guns and the MI Garand (Ping).


This time the focus is on the Pacific theater. It looks like there will be a lot of wild close combat (probably involving katana's and determined Japanese people). I'm picturing a lot of Japanese jumping out of bushes.


From what we've seen so far, this game looks like it's going to be pretty brutal...a lot of screen shots of bayonet/katana impalings. This game could have a real thriller aspect to it.
It's always hard to accept another WWII shooter into a market that is very tired of seeing it, but if anyone can make on that's worth my time...it's these guys.


On another note, it doesn't look like Activision's main team is making this game, so I'm not expecting another Modern Warfare.


One thing we can expect is a good single player and endless multiplayer action. I'm just worried that after playing Modern Warefare, there is no going back to WWII....maybe the melee aspect will add a much needed aspect to a tired genre.
