CoD: World at War

Does it actually say the Russian campaign will be against the Japanese? As you say it would seem an odd decision since AFAIK it was a fairly one-sided campaign.

No, it doesn't, but seeingas the US Campaign is in the Pacific, and the Eastern Front regarding germany has been done to death (With fought every battle concerning the Red Army, importantly).

Though the Russians encountered 'little' resistance, little resistance is still resistance. The numbers might not seem alot, but it was still people shooting at them. We've fought in Moscow, Stalingard, Kursk and the Red Army surge against Germany in Eastern countries. They could still do St. Petersburg, and maybe the Winter War but...

Agreed, if anything they should have done the continuation war in '39 I think it was

in which both sides were a little more even matched. Yet, personally, I'd rather have seen an Australian campaign on New Guinea or a British campaign in Singapore or Burma which would've been really cool.

C'mon now let's get serious here. Do you guys really like the singleplayer campaigns in these games? Really? Word? I mean for one run through and for one run only I can take it, but after that do you still enjoy that endless scripted horde running at you, until you move forward enough to cancel it? Is that really fun? Man I don't care where and in what forces you fight or for what flag, that gameplay is horrible.

What kind of multiplayer World at War will offer, that is the real deal. What will this game have what CoD4 didn't delivered?

I hope it lives up to all its predecessors. UO was a great game, I really liked the added amount of weaponry, etc and CoD3 although not that great, lay the foundations for the great MP of CoD4, so I'm pretty sure Treyarch will do a good job.

Sorry, but if I'm not mistaken the first time the Japanese were defeated was the first assault of Wake Island in December 1941.

Well...in a way yes I do care about the SP to a degree and I do get tired of the scripted hordes but it doesn't stop me from gunning through them and beating the game. And the multiplayer I suspect, will be pretty cool, as with the Japanese being able to climb trees with their snipers, which is just speculation. CoD's multiplayer has improved over time, and apparently hit the mark in CoD4 (which I have yet to play due to being above my specs

).

Another America-centered game about the Second World War. Bravo. I love originality. How about a game from the point of view of the Germans? Or if that's too controversial for Americans, the Finns? Fighting communism? You'd think that'd go down well in America especially, but who am I to guess?

I wonder why they don't do a WWI installment, a German campaign might not be so controversial then. Plus still scope for an American campaign.

I don't understand why they can't do a WWII one (though I would love a good WWI shooter for a change). I mean, Red Orchestra and the Company of Heroes expansion didn't exactly raise a firestorm. Since CoD is a big franchise, some nuts will complain, but, frankly, who cares about them?
