Call of Duty 3 disappointed a lot of players -- especially when Call of Duty creator Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare came out just a year later and blew it out of the water. Call of Duty 3 didn't bring enough to the franchise to make it feel like much more than a generic retread of Call of Duty 2. This time around, though, Treyarch hits us with a solid game, taking several cues from Modern Warfare and crafting something that manages to stand on its own as the most visceral Call of Duty to date...even if it's still a few paces behind Infinity Ward's offerings".
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.
A very devoted fan of Call of Duty: World at War racks up incredible in-game stats while playing regularly for the past 15 years.
Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.
Gamespot : Call of Duty: Vanguard launches with 20 multiplayer maps, three of which are actually remakes from 2008's Call of Duty: World at War. Let's take a look at how the maps have changed with this side-by-side comparison.
ok im not into the US note system, is a B good?
Generally if a magazine gives a game a 10 it will be universally acclaimed so what the hell? If a game is worth a 10 won't everyone see that?
i just dont like COD5 because its just another WW2 shooter, there is too many of them!
Now,maybe if it was WW3? Now THAT would get me interested!
(plus with R2 out COD5 fails in comparison lol)
And this is a fair assessment. Anything from B to an A would justify this game correctly. Think of this game as a bloodier COD4 with WW2 paint job/weapons. there are cool new perks and attatchments, but the conept is the exact same. It plays extremely similar as well. The maps are beautiful, and the campaign is epic...just short of COD4 epic(more bloody and brutal though).
If you liked COD4 but got a little bored of the same old maps, pick this up. you'll get addicted to COD all over again.
As f or those who are tired of WW2, this is the best WW2 shooter ive ever played and maybe ever made. It's a fresh WW2 experience and I reccomend it. If you werent the biggest COD4 fan...and didnt play it much, but bought it anyway....you might be best off holding off because its not THAT different from COD4
