I like tanks.....

Are they a mp only feature? I'd love to play a tank in the campaign.

Tanks are in both MP and single palyer campaign. However, what they offered with CoD: United Offensive (Expansion pack for first CoD). The Base Assault mode specifically where tanks played key role, will probably not be in WaW. I personally loved that mod.

That's lame.

Well it's called a "Recon Plane" this time, but works exactly like in CoD 4.

.. and do they tk your own teammates? And the spawn is huh.... it always has been lol, why is this ALWAYS overlooked haha... have you said anything about it? Besides any bugs or ideas?? And I wish I could play RO, as it is... it doesn't work on my comp

And I've heard that about CoD4... have they mentioned anything about adding that in for 5?

And that is true that is. I'm excited for the jungles maps though... can't wait

Umm... Well, there are no classes just like there were no classes in CoD 4 either.

The "land mines" are WWII version of claymores in CoD4, yes anyone with that specific perk for them can use them.

There are MP game modes where friendly fire is on, then everything including mines will give damage to you and your team mates.

The stock version (or vanilla) of CoD 4 had nicely working spawning system for Team Deathmatch, except for Countdown map. As you died you spawned as much as possible far away from your opponents and that was great. For some ludicrous reason they changed that, so that now you spawn close to your team mates. This results in to two incredibly frustrating problems, possibility of dieing right after you spawn and getting killed by spawning opponent (next to you, in front of you, or right behind you). This same garbage exists also in World at War BETA version.

Recon planes? errr.... I highly doubt many WWII battles had the luxury of that. I like the Pacific and Berlin '45 themes, but I think I'll have to rent this one first before I start bugging family to buy the game for the holidays.

I know... but that's still lame...

Umm... Well, there are no classes just like there were no classes in CoD 4 either.

Oh...well I haven't had the chance to play the game so I wouldn't know

Oh so you need to reach certain level then?? Or whatever...

Dangit...

It seems to be getting a lot of positive feed back, although I'm still undecided about it. I look forward to reading some reviews in the coming days. I recently saw a few videos on IGN, it looks cool, but the character was carrying a 30.cal and a flamethrower.....come on, who runs around with a 30.cal as if it were a BAR, it's like the WWII version of Rambo and his M60. Plus I think you shouldn't be allowed to carry anything heavier than an M1 or a Thompson when you have the flamethrower, those things were heavy and had limited fuel.........as opposed to the videos where the character seems to move just as fast with the flamethrower as he does with that 30.cal, and did I mention that the flamethrower apparently has a recharge meter so once you spend your fuel, you just wait a few seconds and it recharges again.

I pre ordered my copy.

So far on metacritic however it's no where near the high score of COD4, critics are very criticle of the single player but have said mostly positively good things about the multi player which is what im buying it for.

I also played the BETA and to be honest if you didn't like COD4 you wont like this. Also it seems a bit easier now almost, that might just be me but my Kill to death ratio on COD4 was 2.5 on this it was 3.10. Might just be the standard of play on the 360 mind.

This game is turning out to be the anti-RO.

Realism mods won't even begin to be able to drag this laughable take on WW2 down to reality.

What's happened? The Medal of Honor series hasn't had a decent game since Allied Assault and now Call of Duty seems to be straying from what made the first one such a great game. These were, of course, not nearly as realistic as RO but they were at least based conceivable notions. I could not believe what they had done with the MP in COD4. It was horrible on so many levels. If they felt they had to do ranks and stuff, they could have at least set it up like America's Army, which still retains some element of believability. Maybe I'm spoiled on RO, but I did play COD online for more than a year and it was realistic enough for a guy like me and fun enough for your average boy wonder arcade shooter.

I guess people constantly want newer and cooler, and there just isn't that much else to add to the genre, so they have to come up with ridiculous gimmicks like UAVS and landmines. I don't know how Pacific and Airborne Assault did for Medal of Honor, but I cannot argue with COD4's success. Its the 3rd most popular FPS with 15,000 players on daily, next to ROs 1500... maybe I'm the one with the problem, not COD.
