In my opinion, there was just something much more 'epic' about CoD4s campaign that is just lacking here. The missions aren't really that fun to me, I simply enjoyed certain moments in CoD4 more which made me not notice the bad AI as much, if that makes sense. hahah.
Yeah I knew I phrased that incorrectly even when I wrote it, but I was too lazy to change it. When I said no new content, I meant that the multiplayer just feels like a stripped down version of CoD4 with map mods and gun mods. If you think about it, CoD4 had stuff the CoD:WaW is definetly lacking, like camos and the weapons seem very unbalanced and there seem to be fewer weapons. Most people like to run around with MP40s or STGs, and too me that takes some of the fun out of the customization of your classes.
I finally got my 360s disc drive to start working today so I put in CoD: W@W and although I'm pretty experienced with the games multiplayer (first prestige level 37), I've only completed a little less than half of the single player, and apparently for good reason. Now, by this point, most people know that the multiplayer side of World at War is decent, its fun to play but it copies nearly everything off of the previous game, so there isn't much new content. I've always played the game's multiplayer on and off whenever I had nothing else to play but I was never too interested in the single player but lately I've been wanting to start getting achievements again so I headed straight into single player, from where I had left off previously.
And let me say... this game sucks. I encountered a lot of issues with the hit detection when I was using a scoped rifle and the enemy AI was awful, some of the worst I've seen in recent months. And the fact that sometimes enemies could shoot you from incredible distances away and hit you but at other times be a few feet away and miss many...many times is just unreasonable. After seeing things like this in just the regular difficulty, I can only imagine that veteran will require no skill on outsmarting the AI but instead will be about, camping a spot and learning to throw back grenades with incredible dexterity.
In the end, I completed one or maybe two missions so I'm a little bit over the half way mark, and then I got side tracked with AIM and decided to stop playing. I think I'll be playing it a considerable amount the next few days because I hope to beat the game in order to write a review about it. But be warned, this game is not good.
You don't need to be such a completitionist whore, that is a real man's achievement, and it's made for those who are in love with Gears of War. Just because you're an achievement whore doesn't mean developers should make it easy for you to get them. If you glance at someone's gamercard and see that they have this achievement, you'll know that they really like Gears of War, the end, it also allows people to know the general area of rank which you are in. (around 5,25,50, or 100)
Here’s a look at these achievements which can be earned via the Legendary Maps and Halo 3 Campaign:
Vidmaster Challenge: Lightswitch (0 points) – Get to the rank of Lieutenant in any playlist in the new EXP progression system.

As folks have seen, these aren’t the only achievements we’re adding. But without proper context, there’s not a whole lot else we’re going to say. Stay tuned.

I can't believe their adding more than this, it seems as though the vid master achievements are worth 0 GS because of microsoft's 250 GS expansion rule. And I dont understand the stupid vidmaster achievements, you would think they would be something like, complete the campain on legendary with only a pistol, and killing all of your AI allies, that would be a much better throwback to the original vidmaster.
Its not about good graphics, its not about good gameplay, its about going postal so you don't have t o kill everyone in real life and go to jail. duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. its a therapeutic game.
:0 that game looks fun. :) hooray for killing tons of police officers and then setting them on fire! hooray for getting banned in Australia and many other small countries that no one cares about.
