Call of Duty: World at War
Just got a copy of this great game! This is the fifth installment of the very popular Call of Duty series. After the modern setting of Call of Duty 4, we are now thrown into the Pacific Theater and Eastern Front of World War II.
As with all previous games of this series, most major infantry weapons used by the Japanese, American, German and Russian forces are accurately modeled. Action is fast paced with fantastic graphics and sound effects. It’s an AWESOME game! Stop reading and go get a copy first!
The story mode features two campaigns, one featuring the United States Marine Corps battling the Japanese Army in the Pacific, and the other following the Soviet Red Army advancing on Berlin.
The American campaign is focused on Private Miller of the U.S. Marine Corps, who is captured by the Japanese while scouting Makin Island and is about to be executed when he is rescued by Corporal Roebuck. Miller joins Roebuck’s unit in a series of incursions through the islands under Japanese control, including Peleliu, where Roebuck is promoted to Sergeant, and culminating in a battle in Shuri Castle on Okinawa. Reminds me of scenes from the movies “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters from Iwo Jima” with all the banzai attacks and the Japanese all over the battlefield!
The Soviet campaign is focused on Private Dimitri Petrenko of the Red Army, whose unit was defeated and ruthlessly executed by German forces at Stalingrad. Along with Sergeant Reznov, he takes revenge on the Germans by sniping their commander, General Amsel. Three years later, Petrenko and Reznov meet again on the Eastern Front, advancing on the German town of Seelow and further through Germany until the final battle in Berlin where they help capture theReichstag. Just as Petrenko claims the building by putting up a Soviet flag, a German survivor shoots and wounds him before being killed by Reznov. With Reznov’s encouragement, Petrenko is able to plant the flag, a gesture symbolizing Germany’s defeat.
A third playable character in the campaign is Petty Officer Locke, a weapons operator on a PBY Catalina, who is seen only in the mission “Black Cats.” Locke’s squadron makes a midnight raid on a Japanese merchant fleet transporting supplies for the Japanese force on Okinawa, and later rescues the survivors of a destroyed U.S. fleet.
Thats all for now, Back to the game…
