Call of Duty: World at War PC Open Beta Now

[DEATHMASTER]

I hope this comes to Steam, I'm actually quite addicted to it. The bolt action rifles are quite brutal and tasty, especially on hardcore. Why do I have to be such a sucker for shitty fps games?

ditto, I guess its got some nicotine in it somewhere. I wish it ran better I've got better looking stuff that runs 3x better (and I'm playing this demo on low).

I will not be wasting my money on another COD game. I very much have enjoyed the singleplayer portions of each one of the games. I Am,however, very disappointed with their multiplayer components.
COD 2 as well as COD 4.
It's not that i don't like the multiplayer mode itself, it's the constant grenade spamming barrages and the instant spawn killing that have stopped me from touching these games again. Nade spamming has been a problem since COD 2 and i can't understand how the developers failed to address this issue in COD 4. Then you got perks such as Martyrdom that shouldn't even be present in the first place.
Not to mention,Treyarch is developing this title. Thx, but no thx.

I have no idea why perks like last stand and martrydom even MADE it in to the game tbh. Just an annoying way of getting kills cos you die all the time cos you suck.

Why i am not getting the game:

1) Same knife system. I absolutely hate that.

2) Spawning system is still f'ed up. In both COD4 and now COD5 if you kill someone they still spawn <20 feet away. I watched many killcams from a 2v1 yesterday and watched after i killed someone, they spawned already looking at me.

3) It is apparent the game is really a total conversion. There is still the EXACT same reloading bug. What happens is if you are watching someone on killcam reload with the same gun you are using, you will respawn doing the same animation. IE, if the guy i am watching on killcam is reloading his Thompson, i am respawning reloading my Thompson.

4) My analogy: It is a plain COD4 doughnut with WW2 glaze on it.

5) Recoil is virtually nonexistent on many of the guns. The STG44 has barely any. I think the wind moves the gun more than the recoil.

6) Juggernaut is still used.

7) Perks. Perks were fine in COD4 but just don't fit into WW2 with me.


Not worth the $50 or h/e much they sell it for.

briefly played the xbox 360 beta last week ..it was ok as mp games go ..lots of bugs. at one point I kept on getting shot but even with the death cam I couldnt figure out where they were killing me from ..til I fell through a hole in the map and saw 3 other players shooting people from under the map. I have a pc beta key dont think I'll bother; too busy with fable 2 and fallout 3 should be delivered soon

You realize it's a beta, right?

The game comes out in 2 weeks. They probably already have the DVD's printed. It's hardly a beta...more of a glorified demo.

Yeah I just realized this. Came back to edit my post.

its a pre-release demo, they most likely will release a patch for the game when its released. they just did this so they can get the data, so in a way it is like a beta.

 

[Vigilante]

Well I only got into one game and then it crashed and wouldn't restart. But form what I played it was really mediocre.

Wow, apparently when you beat the COD5 campaign, you unlock Zombie Mode for multiplayer. It's just endless waves of Nazi zombies that you and 3 buddies fight against... Rip off L4D much?

I guess it differs itself by having you earn money to buy/move/replace cover to use in zombie mode.

Everybody has a Zombie Mode these days,didn't you know? From Saints Row 2 to GTA 4.
Zombie Mode for Chuzzle in 3...2..

So was the CoD 4 "beta," and the final product was exactly the same in every conceivable way. The word beta is being mis-used a lot on consoles lately as meaning "exclusive demo."

More of a rip off GoW2's Horde mode, but yes taking the zombie element from L4D.
