Multiplayer
World at War will feature cooperative gameplay (two players via split-screen (on consoles) or four players online) for the first time in the franchise. Vehicles, first introduced in Call of Duty: United Offensive, will return as well as new squad-based elements within multiplayer


Development

World at War will have a two-year development cycle, double that of Treyarch's previous title, Call of Duty 3.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-oxmuk_preview_3-1>[4]</SUP> The game will be powered by an enhanced version of Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine - improvements have been made to the physics engine and lighting model. Environments are now more destructible and can be set on fire with the flamethrower (which features propagating fire). Bullets can also cut holes in thin wood, making a gap big enough for the player to climb through.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-oxmuk_preview_3-2>[4]</SUP>
A full-sized replica PBY Catalina was constructed for motion capture use.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-oxmuk_preview_3-3>[4]</SUP>

Oh god, not WW2 again. It's beginning to get boring that they keep revisiting WW2 all the time, COD4 was such a hit BECAUSE it was set in modern times. They should stick to modern times now, do some wars that are actually happening around the world or make up a story of their own.

Yeahh I see your point but I think it will be a big hit anyway. People will complain now but when the game is actually released they will probably love it. From the looks of it, it wont hit shelves till 2010.

It looks like it has extremely good graphics from the screenshot you gave but I have been disappointed before by thing like that, especially COD3 I found that to be rather crap. COD4 was miint though. Hopefully you'll be right and COD5 will turn out to be a pretty good game.

Yeah you both are right. But I have high expectations for this game the Four-PLayer and even just split-screen Co-op sounds awesome and I had wished they had it in CoD 4.

If they succeed in making it at good as was CoD2 on WWII; it's a "Must-Have" it doesn't matter the age is which is set.

But it's true; CoD4 was a hit 'cause it used new features, weapons and abilities that weren't possible on a WWII enviroment.

Also, Treyarch's CoD3 wasn't neither epic nor memorable. Let's see what they can do this time and gives a intense (and longer xD) game.

Yeah I think WaW wil be a awesome game. I am suprised no one has been talking about the new Co-op features. That should be something to make it more interesting. It is also pretty interesting that it is on many more systems this time. As always the PS3 and 360 will get the good versions and the others will get the okay ones.

Since the Co-Op of Perfect Dark on the days of the N64; i haven't liked the co-op modes. The fact that if your partner respawn makes you lost half of your health was awesome. It makes you really play the missions like ateam and with care about your own and partner life.

However as you said is a nice addition. Let's hope they could make it worth it and fit it in the story. It would be nice that your 2-player have additional skills or abilities that the main player doesn't have or unlock special missions or parts made only for 2-players.
