Latest Call of Duty Is HOT!

.

Video Game - Call of Duty World at War Preview

Treyarch Takes Over The Fight!

     

In the short time since the Call of Duty franchise began, there have been many developers involved in working on the video game… some fleeting, some long-term.  Despite this lack of stability, the Call of Duty name remains rock solid reaching a pinnacle last year with Modern Warfare in Call of Duty 4.

Call of Duty World at War  looks good… Damn Good!

Treyarch is building on the foundation set by the Modern Warfare engine, but the studio has been given an unprecedented amount of time to work on the new title.2009 will prove that the vetran team behind Call of Duty have quite possibly created the best FPS ever.

The last Call of Duty 4 was all about Modern Warefare... In this version of Call of Duty, you experience World War II episodes with Japanese and German death scenes set in lush jungles instead of tight cramped trenches.   The Japanese forces are programmed to focus on infiltration and ambush tactics along with Banzai charges, ambush attacks, and even kamikaze fighters which were unlike anything the American forces ever dealt with during the European Theater.

Technically and graphically, the game looks fantastic - as impressive as the viuals of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.  Everything has been amped up thanks to the COD 4 engine.  Realistic physics, destructible environments, and even small considerations, such as trajectory changes when firing into water, help give the impression of an already polished product.

The awesome new flamethrower weapon can cause much damage but also provide a tactical advantage when used properly.  The flames of the flamethrower in Call of Duty World at War burns all foliage in its path, scorched the ground, spread based on wind patterns and undergrowth.

The two exclusive missions that were demonstrated live at Treyar headquarters was a mission on the Pacific campaign which included .50 caliber machine guns on either side of a PBY Catalina boat plane to take out the Japancese merchant fleet below.  This mission showcased some of the massive destruction possible in the game. 

This is the best Call of Duty game so far.  Keep an eye out for it.
