This is a pretty solid Beta.

Only 3 maps, Roundhouse is the most fun.

Up to lvl 17 playing under Seany, probably cya on the aussie servers.

Not sure if i will buy the game or just get a MP Key after it comes out...

After playing it heaps yesterday night, I am starting to like the game.

I've been playing CoD since 1, and played them all heavily online. I regard CoD1 still as being the best one online, with the rest close behind.

The main issue I see with this game is really simple. The reason I was interested in this game to begin with was a single thing, the bolt action rifles and they don't do shit in this game. On average I have to hit someone twice for a kill with Stopping Power, whereas a Thompson can long range kill someone probably faster and more efficiently. The guns need balancing, but I'm hoping with the introduction of PAM/Promod etc won't be that much of an issue.

It is the worst online experience I have had in a CoD game (note though, the CoD games have had superior online gameplay), but it still is decent. The maps are well designed, visually it's alright, the game has an alright feel to it and the guns are alright, some look horrible though.

The game has potential, hopefully with the introduction of them mods the multiplayer will be refined. I wasn't expecting much since IW weren't making it and CoD3 was supposedly horrible, but nevertheless it's alright. Looking forward to the singleplayer though, hopefully they did a good job on that - although dreading going through the same events for the 3rd time (WW2

).

EDIT: What would be cool would be if you flew the planes that bombed Pearl Harbour or something, since the Japanese are now in the game that might be a possibility.

Mods aren't even needed to fix that, join a GamingSA HardCore Server and see what damage the rifles do.

Yeah but why use a rifle when it takes 2 hits from a Thompson to get a kill?
Hardcore is even worse.

Why cant people get it through their heads.

the CoD series is not about realistic shooting.

Its a about 'fun' gameplay like Epic's Games, not Gearboxers Brothers with Arms.

WaW is a good 'refinement' of CoD2 and CoD4's MP, but they needed to differentiate themselves but they just did not bother.

Think of it as CoD 2.5 made on the CoD4/ID Tech 4/5 engine

Rifle only servers.

The more I play this the more I love it. Favourite weapon so far is either the MP40 or the double barrel shotgun. Roundhouse is also my favourite map

Bring on the 12th

Only outstanding whinge would have to be some of the spawn points, but it was the same in COD4, so I expect nothing will change on that front.

My Pb is failing to update, something about a Htm MD5 not matching and game is kicking me, o well!

PsychoSmiley · 4th November 2008, 9:30 PM

It has the Kar98k, it's unlocked at level 41...and the Beta limit was 40. I was working up to the Kar98 for a while until I noticed that the limit was 40

But I'm using my trusty Arisaka with Bayonet

brenton1987 · 4th November 2008, 10:21 PM

Does anyone know if the beta accounts carry over to the full game?

Nah, they don't. They get deleted once the Beta is over, so all in all. We have to start all over again...

walker_2003 · 4th November 2008, 10:51 PM

lovin the game so far, mp44 owns.. also love the geyr 40 or what ever it is.

PsychoSmiley · 5th November 2008, 7:27 AM

Well that thankfully answers one question. I hope to god its one-shot-kill otherwise it's an absolutely useless weapon. It better be as accurate as a laser too.

I have a lot of weapon expectations set from CoD2... except the PPSh. That gun was cheap.
