My apologies. The I could not put the whole game name in the thread title, so dont feel so bad if you were confused. Its actually called
Call Of Duty: Treyarch Fails Again But At Least Its On PC This Time; World At War
So when we had all heard COD5 would be produced by the infamous rapist named Treyarch, we all cringed, cried, yelled at Activision much like parents yell at police when a pedophile moves into our neighborhoods. Rightfully so too may I add. But we were all left with condolences and assureances that it would be ok. I mean, the game is based off of the COD4 game engine. How bad could it be? Well did you see the episode of south park where the pedophile does move into town... didnt turn out well did it. Until the retarded downs syndrome cop saves the day. Unfortunately friends, Call Of Duty:TFABALIOPTT;WAW does not include a retarded cop with the single player version. Hopefully they did not leave him out in the full online multiplayer, or at least the Co-Op mode.
We start out as Marine soldier invading the Makin Island, in order to rescue other Marines... WOOOO HOOO. Or should I say OOOOH RAAAH! Yeah whoopdifuck. I walked into this game hearing about the flamethrowers, the Japs, and the Katana. Well lets get one thing clear. The Katana is used once in the game, AND IT AINT BY YOU BITCH. Wave bye bye to that idea, which was a little exciting for me. Now the Japs. Well they are ruthless motherfuckers let me tell you that. I would be proud if I were half as loyal as these deranged crazy assholes, but on the flip side, THEY ARE SOME DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS. Now given, I did throw the game level on normal, expecting it to be easy, but when you have a squint eye looking at you, holding a gun, whilst you invade their land, WELL GOD DAMN IT, I WOULDA THUNK THEYD HAVE SHOT MAH ASS! Not in COD:TFABALIOPTT;WAW. They will look at you for hours. But on the flip side of this, I have to say, these guys would own me in a staring contest.
Now moving on to the second story of the campaign... Whats that? You didnt hear that COD:TFABALIOPTT;WAW was damn near a rip off of COD4, including not just the gameplay, but the entire way the game unfolds, and tells the story? Well shit on me, I would have guessed Treyarch had done something original. No sir. Not only do they rip off COD4 as much as they possibly can (before Infinity Ward would sue for copyright infringement) but they fucking ripped off Enemy At The Gates. I swear to christ, you and fellow russian comrade are laying in a fountain, dozens of bodies laying around, with German troops shooting those you can still see moving. It was quite funny. Hell even to the point where you take your comrades gun, and need to pick off Germans as planes pass by, so that the noise is not noticed from other troops (Or in the movies, when the bombs drop.) Had they followed the movie to a T, it would have been a better level, IMO of course.
So basically, We have the Marines on one side of the game, fighting the japanese, and the Russians on the other, fighting the Germans. First the problem with the Marine side. Once I picked up the flamethrower, I had ZERO need to ever put it down. For almost the rest of this campaign, unless I spawned with something else, the flamethrower was easier in this to get kills, than TF2. GG, Game Over, We Win. Aside from that, it gets repetitive. In fact, I dont even remember most of the Marine Campaign Missions, since I was just doing em to get to the Russian Side. This is where the story is... Oh shit, THAT SAME SHIT HAPPENED IN ANOTHER GAME DIDNT IT? Wasnt it Medal Of Honor? Or... OH FUCK, IT WAS COD4... THE MARINE SIDE HAD NO FUCKING STORY! Well, in COD4, it had more story than COD:TFABALIOPTT;WAW, but still. See how we are dealing with the same shit, different game dev. It worked the first time, but god damn it not two games in a row. Shit at least skip one, then try and pull the same thing on me the next time.
Anyways, the point is, the marine side is a joke. Moving on. The Russian Side. This is where about 70% of the game is, and 98% of the story. The other 2% Being in the Cinematic Scenes... OH SHIT, I SAID IT! The Cinematics add NOTHING. Well, The final one I found interesting. Was of Hoover I believe (I could be wrong, I AM CANADIAN) Talking about winning the War. Other than that, A SHIT LOAD OF PICTURES, AND SIDEWAYS TEXT. Generally, the instructions, plot, and tactics you are told about, well thats how. You are told, Via a voiceover. No really cool videos like in COD4, no zooming down on maps, showing routes. Ok maybe there is some Cut Scenes that are alright, but generally, this is a D- at best. Might have made a D if I had a Rockstar right now, but over all, Fail Pail Is Brimming.
So you start playing Annakova Czeckoslavakich... Or some shit like that. Whatever. You play a fucking commie, who fucks shit up. Good start... Sincerely, who wants play a peacful hippie game... Hippies...
Either way, you run and gun. Thats about the jist of it. I mean, logically, tact is required in war, but your a one man army, walking up the middle of street, fucking shit up. Fail. There is this one gun, I say this with all honesty, the day the game is released, TWL will ban this gun so fast. Think of the best recoil on a shot off of a G5, then throw that recoil on a RPD with double tap, steady aim, slight of hand, and a grip. I shit you not. I loved this gun. If every soldier had this gun, we would never have a casuality of war. But still, realisitic? The tanks? I took about 12 shells from an opposing tank, and still fucked him up the ass. Although fun, and not overdone, a bit... patronizing in my eyes. Fuck, make me LEARN the game, dont just assume im a jackass, and let me live through everything. Fuckers.
Now, ask me what my favorite mission is in COD4... Anyone get it? THE FUCKING PLANE ONE! YEAH THE SNIPER KICKED ASS, BUT FOR FUCK SAKES, YOU HAD A 105mm CANNON IN THIS SHIT! Treyarch managed to throw in a plane mission in a blah blah Cat something or other. Basically, they failed at it. It was still my fav mission in this game, but hold up COD4 to this, and 4 blows this shit out of the water. Although, the plane was a boat, so props for showing that off. As well, the ending of the Russian push into Germany. If this isnt COD4 modded, then fuck me. They tried to throw in a tear jerker moment, but... WORD OF THE DAY, FAILED! I was a bit happy, and releaved when I picked that flag up, but at the end, I was left going "Welp, lets head in to LLC"
As I told Comrade Ratso, it would have been a good game, had it not been a blatant rip off.
OH BEFORE I FINISH THIS UP... FUCKING MOTHER FUCKING INVISIBLE GOD DAMN PIECE OF SHIT MOTHERFUCKING WALLS! HOLY CRIST!
I can truthfully say, I think a couple 12 year olds designed the maps. I told myself that at least 32 times in the game. "What, a box lower than my knee caps, and I cant jump on it, never the less climb it..." Im not gonna go into a lot of detail, but god damn it, if you want to go somewhere you know they didnt make the map for that route, BET YOUR BALLS ON THE FACT THAT YOU CANT GO THAT WAY! FUCK YOU, INSTA FAIL
Aside from everything negative I have said, this IS a solid game. I assume the Multi will be as good if not better than the beta, and the only bitch there is maps on my part. The singleplayer, although not perfect, is built off of a great engine (notice I dont bitch about graphics at all) and the gameplay is fairly seamless. I felt very at home playing, COD4Hopping around corners, and the running, sprinting, holding of breathe. Its all been done, but COD:TFABALIOPTT;WAW IS a rip off, so that goes without saying. But generally, if this were a movie, it WOULD be a "Rent." The fire looks good, the maps are bad, but the enemies positions, and the flow is right. Its not too fast, but not pain stackingly slow. There are a few times where enemies just keep respawing like its HQ with no respawn time, your the last one left alive, and theres 4 minutes til the new HQ pops. But they are few and far between. The guns vary nicely, although it is a bitch when you can find 28 enemy rifles, but because you love your Garand, you TK a poor soul when your ammo runs out. The sounds are really great in the game, EXCEPT the weapons. Fucking pea shooters. Worse. The Scout sounds like an AWP compared to some of these things.
Overall, I would give it a 6 out of 10, but would respect anyone who hasnt played COD4, and gives it an 8. Although, those people would lose respect for never playing COD4, but Im biased Tongue
Anyways, There it is. If ya dont read the whole novel, dont bother reading any, you whiney, lazy bitches.
