IGN: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare vs World at War

Call of Duty 4 was last year's greatest game. Or at least that's the consensus that we IGN editors came to during our end of the voting. Now we have a new entry in the Call of Duty franchise known as World at War. It comes to us from the hands of those who churned out the maligned Call of Duty 3, but this time Treyarch has managed to make a highly exciting and fully realized wartime first-person shooter. But is it enough to topple last year's greatest production?

It's good, but not better than Cod4. Especially SP is not as good...

CoD Waw has some of the most rudimentary game design ever!

The enemies infinitely respawn unless you cross some invisible line! Because they just keep respawning, you feel like killing people is pointless (it IS pointless). I didn't realize my PS3 played SNES game... wait I'm not even sure if SNES had such amateurish design!

Veteran is really hard! I like playing games on the hardest difficulty because they're challenging but still fun... CoD WaW is NOT even remotely fun on Veteran! It's terribly done! You can't run in the open for more than 1 second without getting instantly killed and when you stay in cover they literally throw 3-6 grenades at once! You can't throw back 6 grenades at once so to escape them you have to run out in the open and die! Sometimes your completely surround by grenades and you can't even run away from them! It's worse than nubs online. It's a terrible formula!

CoD Waw copied CoD4 way too much. WaW had the same type of sniper mission where you have to shoot for a wounded guy among other rip-offs that are poorly done. Sure it's a sequel but in all the pre-release interviews they were always comparing it to CoD4. They were comparing it so much that an Infinity Ward developed litterally tols them to "Shut the f*ck up and talk about your own game not ours" CoD4 is SOOO much better than CoD WaW! Of course we all know that Infinity Ward is better than Trearch.

And we can have Quake 3 to thank for the Call of Duty 4 engine. :D

Each game is very unique in it's own way and I think they compliment each other. I hope Infinity Ward and Treyarch make plenty more high quality FPS games that run on this awesome engine.

I think that waw is an awesome game

but still

pacing,level design,characters and overall drama is just better in cod 4

but as I said waw is great,much better than the meh cod 3,treyarch has really stepped up the game,so we can now be sure to get an amazing cod game after another,I think the cod franchise has stepped up

I mean look at this,cod 4 was mindblowing,waw is awesome and cod 6 will be...boom

the cod franchise has indeed STEPPED UP :)

IW and TREYARCH FTW

12.1 - Exactly...

I'm intrigued to see what IW does w/ a sci-fi setting. Doesn't have to be aliens. It could be corporations fighting over mineral deposits on foreign planets, post-Apocalyspe 100 years into the future on Earth civil war, etc... Soon as you mention sci-fi, people automatically assume you're talking little gray guys and star trek lol.

WAW is better, but I'm going to go with 4 because it was more of an evolution from 3. WAW felt too close to what COD4 reached.
