Laissex Faire Lan,
Great for single-user online, very fun, but……
Requires online profile authentication for every mode of gameplay. This has usually been left alone for local LAN. They have put a deathgrip on local lan multiplayer which for the first time makes me consider using a modded exe.
I have a 6 user lanparty room in my house where I play games with my kids and friends. COD4 was the greatest, The latest cod4 patch made you turn off punkbuster when hosting/playing with same key but still worked. this new game makes this sooo frustrating. I am certainly not a game pirate but disallowing local lan on same serial is a step too far to me. I will not buy six copies of a $50 dollar game, sorry activision. major fail.
Why will you allow 4 player split screen on console, but not 4 player lan with same disk??????????????

Roll the dice,
I’ve tried this game on 2 different PC’s only 1 could run it and the other just locks up and blue screens, if it doesn’t do that it will get a black screen and hangs.
On the system that it works on, I played through the single player and at first I was really disappointed, it got a little better in some missions but the whole campaign is disjointed and didn’t flow at all. Most the time the enemies would popup and down like a duck hunt game. The final scene was good but the whole SP campaign was way too short.
Onto the multiplayer, could have been alright but most of the maps aren’t that great, connectivity issues are huge and everyone I know can’t get into a co-op match.
I ranked my way up and after a crash trying to quit the game I lost all my stats.
The sound is also messed up bad on Multiplayer (I have an XFI 7.1 sound card) you can’t hear people around you and guns being shot 10 feet away sound like they are a mile away as do the grenades.
I have 2 9800′s and the game won’t run in SLI so my frame rates are 1/2 of what they should be.
Overall I wish I hadn’t bought this game as it’s like a beta that still needs fixing and for $50 + it shouldn’t have all these problems.
I’ve been looking at other forums trying to fix all these issues and there are lot’s of people having the same problems. My computers are way above the min spec and that isn’t the reason why this game is so flaky.
They play Far Cry 2 and Left 4 Dead great as well as COD4 at max settings.
Issues aside I’d give the game a 2 out of 5 stars based on the SP campaign and the overall quality of the MP maps.
Counting in the flaky game play and no support from the game maker as of 11/28/08 3 weeks after release I give this 1 star. Also I’d like to add that up to now I’ve loved all the COD’s that came before except COD 3 – also made by Trearch. If you like games not working right and trying everything under the sun to fix stuff you shouldn’t have to even touch then you might have fun trying to fix stuff but it sucked what little fun there is in this game – out for me.
Update 12/30/2008 7 weeks after the game came out and no patches to fix the tons of issues people are reporting. This is the worst support I have ever seen in a COD game, the game’s makers won’t even respond to people’s questions and users are left to search for help in the user forums that are filled with people that flame you when you post a legitimate question. The sound is so bad that I just quit playing, I have a XFI 5.1 sound system and the sound is not close to working right. I can’t hear the other players movements and grenades and guns sound muffled and distant even when they are right next to me. The positional sound isn’t right and makes for pure frustration.

The most buggy game ever release,
I love Call of Duty 4 so when Activision releases Call of Duty World at War I went out and bought it. I wish that I had read reviews about this game before purchasing this junk. The game install fine but when I tried to start the game in the solo mode, the game crash and even after I had followed Activision Tech support advice to disable my modem, reset my sound card to Basie mode, even editing my registry to set Directsound to Emulated and installing a 300 MB patch, my game still would not work. Activision also has some of the rudest tech support in the industry at least in my experience.
When a software company like Activision have to put out a 300+ MB patch just a week after this game was release you know their product is a piece of junk. If your idea of fun is to throw away $50 and spending hours troubleshooting a crappy game for Activision then this game is for you. If you are like most normal people who expect a product to work when you bought it then stay away from this piece of trash. It’s fitting that this game is called World at War, you will be at war trying to get this buggy product to work.
