IGN şi CVG au publicat fiecare câte un preview la Call of Duty: World at War, despre care Treyarch declara către Videogamer.com că nu va mai purta niciun număr în coadă: „We’re getting rid of the number in Call of Duty for a very specific reason,” spune senior producerul Noah Heller. “It’s because we want you to know that when you’re playing Call of Duty: World at War you’re playing the best shooter, the best WW2 game ever. Likewise when you’re playing Modern Warfare, likewise when you play any game that will be called Call of Duty.”
Revenind la cele două site-uri mai sus pomenite, acestea cred că noul Call of Duty nu are nimic în comun cu celelalte FPS-uri ale genului, cu toate că acţiunea se desfăşoară în timpul WWII. Decorurile şi scenariul sunt diferite, la fel şi modul de luptă isteric al japonezilor nu are nimic de-a face cu stilul nemţilor. CVG vorbeşte despre modul co-op online de patru jucători şi multiplayer-ul de până la 32 în versiunea pentru PC. Se pare că vom regăsi sistemul de XP şi customizarea armelor din CoD 4.
În fine, Activision reuşeşte în sfârşit să anunţe oficial Call of Duty: World at War, primind veşnica noastră recunoştinţă pentru acest gest de un altruism ieşit din comun. Comunicatul de presă:
Expanding Its Theater of Operations to the Pacific, Latest Title in Hit Franchise Poised to Re-Define the WWII Experience
Santa Monica, CA – June 23, 2008 – Leave your packs and bring extra ammo, Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Treyarch, announced today that they will be taking Call of Duty players deep into the South Pacific and European theaters this fall for Call of Duty: World at War™, a gritty fight that will pit players against enemies that know no surrender and show no mercy. Utilizing the Call of Duty 4®: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War throws out the rulebook of war to transform WWII combat through a new enemy, new tactics and an uncensored experience of the climatic battles that gripped a generation. As U.S. Marines and Russian soldiers, players will employ new features like cooperative gameplay, and weapons such as the flamethrower in the most chaotic and cinematically intense experience to date.
“With Call of Duty: World at War, we’re re-defining what it means to play a WWII game,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head for Treyarch. “We’re excited to give players a host of new enemies that employ entirely new tactics, as well as new, groundbreaking tools – like co-op and the flamethrower – to succeed in the epic fight.”
Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-operative play, bringing fresh meaning to the “No One Fights Alone” mantra with up to four-players online for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, or two-player local split-screen on consoles. Nintendo Wii will also support a unique co-op mode for two players. For the first time ever players will experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. The co-op campaign allows players to rank up and unlock perks in competitive multiplayer by completing challenges and earning experience points, adding continuous re-playability and team-based gameplay. Whether playing competitively or cooperatively – if players are online with Call of Duty: World at War – they will always gain experience points. Based on a player’s experience rank and rank of the player’s friends, Call of Duty: World at War will scale dynamically to provide a deeper level of challenge.
Call of Duty: World at War is in development for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Nintendo® Wii™ and Games for Windows® PC. The title is scheduled for release this fall and has not yet been rated.
