CinemaBlend writes:"After hearing that the Call of Duty: World at War demo--- I mean beta, was available for any Xbox Gold subscriber, I decided to download it. After playing for about two hours, I've come to one conclusion, and one of my good friends put it best: "World at War is totally a World War II mod for CoD4," and she's entirely right.

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
First this is a X360 related story and if by any means CoD4 WaW fails, the Xbox owners will start to think why they pay 100 dollars to play CoD4 Modern Warfare online because the game costs 60 dollars and LIVE costs another 50 dollars. They have to justify why they pay 50 dollars for online.
Thats the reason why online games sell better in the X360. If you pay for an online service you feel obligated to use it. Imagine paying for LIVE and only play Lost Odissey or Fable 2 (dont get me started on the Co Op for Fable, it sucks and its full of glitches). About Fable, the Co-Op proves what Im saying, they had to implement that feature in a game where Co-Op doesnt make any sense!
This all is related to the topic, this game is actually a mod for CoD4 MW! Its a good game but honestly, should we pay its full price?! Why not releasing it as an expansion?! Its all there is!
And ill hav to say i quite liked it,
I couldnt believe how violent it was - suits me just fine
And online was ok but i think the reason a didnt like it as much was because i had a rip on the Killzone 2 beta for a while b4, COD5 hasnt left much of an impact on me as K2 did - but its not out 4 another 3 or so months so Cod5 will hav to do
Oh the single player campaign is brilliant as u would expect
I promise i tell NO lies
I have full version.
It feels like Downgrade of COD2.
feels like a COD4 mod :/
I won't play a yearly franchise on multiple consoles, I think it divides the community of what it could have been , resistance 2 and lbp are gonna keep me occupied for the months to come till Killzone 2 comes out. the first killzone had a strong online community years 5 after its release and prolly won't see it sequal for a long time. as good as call of duty is , I hope it doesn't go the way of the tony hawk series of yearly installments
