Call of Duty 5 - World At War

if you prefer zombies over MP, get mappack 2 & 3.

if you prefer MP over zombies, get mappack 1 & 2.

 

my opinion on them.

[JayM]

I decided to buy Map Pack 3 and I must say Der Riese is quite awesome. Me and a friend managed to get to round 20, we both had great guns, mine being an upgraded ray gun and upgraded MG42 and juggernaut and sleight of hand perks. We were on the balcony when he got downed then I got overwhelmed but I think he did it on purpose as he had to leave, we could have gone so far! Ah well, it's a great map though. I agree that at first it's pretty compilcated and easy to get lost but after a few games I've grew fond of it and have solid tactics. Oh yeah, and the Russian guy is hilarious.

I though Map pack 3 had the best Multiplayer maps AND zombie maps... tbh I can't remember the Map Pack 1 multiplayer maps but the zombie map was lacking imo.

[james227uk]

IMO the best MP map in MP3 was Revolution. I seriously can't get into Breach and Battery. I hate them.

[Panz]

I hate all of the Map Pack 3 maps. Get map pack 2 for sure, and I'd lean towards number one unless you're interested in zombies.

People say Der Riese is amazing, but I really don't like it much.

Where's all the hate towards Verruckt coming from? I thought that map was f*cking great. I found it a lot more challenging than both Nacht der Untoten and Shi No Numa, which made it a lot more fun.

 

In all honesty though, if I were you, I would only buy MP3. I only played the maps from either of them directly after they came out (and I mean both Nazi Zombie maps and MP maps), excluding Verruckt; I played the hell out of it, even after Shi No Numa came out.

[james227uk]

I don't understand the hate too. Whilst somewhat boring, I found the map enjoyable with the challenge of being seperated. I see it this way

 

Without the success of the perk machines on Verruckt, we probably wouldn't have had them on Shi No Numa & Der Riese.

[Guns N R0se]

I don't hate it. It's just my least favourite. Like, Nacht Der Untoten was all indoors but Zombies were fairly slow, Verruckt got slightly bigger but it seemed like the zombies got really fast. Shi No Numa was good because it was outside, but I got annoyed because to open a large area it took lots of points and then, most of it was water and you couldn't run. Der Reise is just like perfect for me. Just the right combination of open areas and enclosed spaces and getting the power on is fairly quick and easy. It's challenging but not impossible to get to upgraded weapons. I doubt I would like it as much if it was near impossible to get the machine, but with a decent team it's entirely do-able

in call of duty waw when i try to connect to co-op online it doesnt connect me..i want to play with other peeps on map pack 3 zombies but noone connects to me and im by self in the waiting lobby..

[Minic]

HQ + Double XP Overtime = Awesome. If you can get an awesome team going in a game, you rank up so fast, i managed to get from around 53 Prestige 2 to about 25 Prestige 3 since last week or so, with the more solid playing coming over the past 2/3 days. I keep asking why Treyarch have left it on, but i'm not complaining, it's awesome.

[Pat]

Got to round 26 on Der Riese today. Had a lot of bullsh*t moments (like when my upgraded Browning and upgraded MG42 were out of ammo, I got downed, AND SOMEONE PICKED UP A MAX AMMO (so I was still out of ammo after I got revived)), but it was overall pretty awesome.

 

As for how we did it, we used the alley technique (camp in the area to the right of the mainframe, without opening either of the doors, with one person watching the window and the other three watching the alley).

[Wolverine.]

Ugh, is it me, or does WaW really have a few guns? I mean yeah it's WWII and all, but there's a sh*tload of more guns they could have added to either map packs such as the Sten, Lee-Einfield, Owen, Austen SMG, Lewis, M50 Reising, Luger, Mauser C96 (funny looking handgun), MP 3008, and the list goes on. Some are British weapons, but come on -- British Soldiers were apart of WWII.

 

Sorry if this was a bit random but switching from CoD4 to WaW today -- HUGE difference.

[Pat]

There might be a fourth map pack released on September 24th. The setting for the zombie map in this map pack?

 

Area f*cking fifty one.

 

 

 

(omg conspiracy!!!1111)

[buzbegone]

It's funny how some people actually do the work but pretty cool how they figured out how it may end.

Just like Saw VI when it comes out in October, "At the end, you'll realise the masterplan."

nah it doesn't feels like that to me, I got cod4 the other day and it has way less guns.

there is no lack of guns for me in waw though.

[james227uk]

Treyarch confirmed that if there is a new map pack, it will not be set at Area 51. Even if it was, Area 51 wasn't built at the time of the zombies story.

[buzbegone]

Meh, anything works for them as long as they're making extra money.

You have a link?

[FullMetal]

I'm curious what they're going to come up with next. Der Riese was absolutely mindblowing in my opinion... probably the best thing Treyarch have pulled off up to date.

 

Also, Breach is also one beautiful and brilliant map. I was also kind of impressed by the sizes of the new maps. They are rather 'big' compared to most of the stock maps.

 

Still hate the fact that they don't add more tankmaps...

[buzbegone]

Treyarch have been listening to people bitch about how 'unfair' the tanks make the game despite the many C4 and Panzer-related ways to destroy them.

There are game files for the Sten, Bren and the Lee-Enfield that people have found on the PC version of the game (Go to the trivia part for each gun), so they may have had plans to include a British campaign much like they did in Final Fronts on the PS2, as for more weapopns for the other sides, i agree that they could have added in so many more weapons, but that would've lead to an even bigger release in the rank number, especialy with the system they have (weapon/challenges/challenges/perk/repeat), i think they have a decentish number of guns though.

[oldage]

what I hate is that you don't get unlocks for expert challenges (# of headshots) unlike in cod4

[FullMetal]

Gold/camoed weapons is not something that suits the era. On top of that, I think they should give you DOUBLE the XP for completing those challenges (headshot/expert challenges) instead of the normal points.

 

Also, it's just because most people are too dumb to use satchels or cannot use them despite their 'controller' of choice. Even I have destroyed alot of tanks with Satchel Charges, sticky grenades and even with the 'weak' rocket launchers on the Xbox360. And please remember that I am not a console gamer or that the Xbox360 controller is my controller of choice.

 

 

[oldage]

not gold/camoed weapons, but what about other unlocks? there are loads of options...

[FullMetal]

To be honest the lack of 'unlocks' for the expert challenges isn't that bad... the fact that you can carry around every weapon you please whatever nation you are is (well, I find it) really annoying. It destroys the atmosphere and the feeling of the game.

 

Was it too much asked to figure out a good and stable system? Custom classes for each nationality in the game? Unlocking more custom classes for each nation when prestiging? I mean, it isn't that hard at all...

[Panz]

They're just milking these map packs now. I feel like they're getting worse and more bland with each new pack.

Anyway, I went from rank 63 to rank 29 in a day because of HQ and Double XP. Woo.

Yeah I'm levelling up pretty quickly now because of Double XP. It's best to make the most it it now I guess.

[Minic]

I have a hunch Treyarch have maybe forgotten to turn if off for the PS3, either that or they're being nice and letting us have a few days over the 360 users.

[saintdave]

I love how overly excited they got (in the above video) because they believe their theory is correct. It may well turn out to be the case, and it’s interesting all the same. Treyarch do have time to release at least another map pack before MW2 is out.

[TwindSkittle]

With the way the Zombie maps have been progressing I'm very much looking forward to another Pack!

[El Zilcho]

Considering the time span between Shi No Numa and Der Riese we'll probably get another map pack in about mid October to early November. I'll still buy them even after MW2 comes out, because these maps are always cool.
