Call of Duty: Footage of War

by Chris Greenhough { Nov 10th 2008 at 5:22PM }

Call of Duty: World at War ships in North America tomorrow, but if you want an early peek (and have the kind of job where you can get away with watching videos at work all day long), here's the first thirty minutes, starting with the Makin Island raid (and continuing after the break).

Be warned: as this is a Call of Duty game, and hence Just Like The Real Thing, it's full of naughty words from the beginning, not to mention the odd stomach-churning sight. It looks great, though, and is full of the spectacular set-pieces that we love the series for. With this, The Conduit, and the amazingly-not-terrible Quantam of Solace, shooter fans have a potentially exciting few months ahead.

Once again. I really have no idea how anyone can even consider Quantum Solace even remotely a good game. But, I made my arguments in the previous Bond posting.

It just saddens me. Bond could have been a great game.

I agree with canaroo! I rented the new Bond game this weekend and was completely disappointed with it. Terrible frame rates at times and broken controls all around...

oh great. CoD is a ps2 port with tacked on controls. Not even renting it.

There is no PS2 sku. Treyarch said current-gen only.

Actually there is a PS2 version of the game. It's supposed to be a completely different game (like CoD 2 and CoD 2: Big Red One). So they probably did use their PS2 models for the Wii game.

Well, i came to like Quantum of Solace, but it did not lived to the "Next sequel of GoldenEye" promise they made.

Really, Nintendo should suck the balls of Rare and ask em for a rehash of the game for Virtual Console or WiiWare with WiiMote controls. same goes for Perfect Dark

hhmm, I don't remember any cursing in COD3 or 2? Maybe I'm just don't remember correctly. Kind of a bummer, my wife doesn't like cursing so I will have to play when she goes to bed.

XD

yep they added that because theyre under the impression that cursing=mature...kinda dumb if you ask me.

god i hope the game doesnt dissapoint online.

But your wife likes it when people get shot? You Americans are fucked up (assuming you're from the States).

Mickey @ Nov 11th 2008 5:54AM

actually she doesn't like that either but if she is reading or something she doesn't watch it. the only way not to hear something is to turn of the sound, which is a sucky thing way to play.

Mickey @ Nov 11th 2008 5:57AM

that should have been sound off, not of. and watch your potty mouth btw ;-)

I went to Best Buy for this game on my break hoping someone would have jumped the gun. I'm actually excited for a generic shooter which shows how bad Nintendo is lacking in something great. However when I say something great I don't necessarily mean it has to be a billion copy seller but a game where massive effort and a different take is brought to the table. Whatever, I won't ramble, I just need to play something and be given reason to wipe the dust off my Wii
