The folks over at IGN (http://pc.ign.com) have posted up a hands-on preview today with the multiplayer part of Call of Duty: World at War. They have posted up a ton of new videos and screens. Lets check it out:
When everyone heard that Treyarch would be returning to helm development on the next installment in the heralded Call of Duty series, the gaming world let out a sigh of trepidation. Not to say that Call of Duty 3 (the last game in the series to be developed at Treyarch) was a bad game, it just wasn't up to the vaunted standards of Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
I recently got to spend some time with the four-player co-op campaign as well as the competitive multiplayer beta that is set to hit the Internet sometime before the game launches. Being a huge fan of Call of Duty 4, it was going to take something special to impress me. Luckily Treyarch had something on deck that would do exactly that.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that a latter part of the mission had us sticking the end of the new M2 Flamethrower into a bunker a flaming the Japanese soldiers inside? Yeah, it was cool. Or was it hot?
Not to be outdone, the competitive multiplayer has also made a few additions to the tried and true formula that worked so well in COD4. You can still level up your character and unlock new perks and you can still earn prestige several times over (though this time you get a reward for doing so), but there are a few important differences. First of all, perks now include the ability to sprint while crawling, climb trees faster, play dead, and swim faster among others.
here are a few videos from the hands-on review..
