Kill Streaks
"For those of you unfamiliar with this function (which cropped up in COD4: Modern Warfare) kill streaks are awarded when you reach a specific number of kills without dying, and take the form of a special ability which you can utilize against your opponent. In Call of Duty: World at War, Treyarch will be offering something similar giving players special commands for killing multiple enemies.
Recon Plane (3 Kills)...
...Artillery Strike (5 Kills)...
...Unleash the Dogs (7 Kills)..."
Just to recap:
-For three kills you get a Recon plane to spot enemies for you.
-Five kills nets you an Art strike which more or less kills everything within the area of effect.
-Succefully getting seven kills in a row let's you...unleash the dogs of war?
I'm looking through my history books, not really finding anything mentioned about winning the war in the Pacific by sending wave after wave of killer dogs to break the Jap's backs.

I wonder if you'll be able to break the dogs necks when they try to maul you like the ones in cod4 singleplayer.
I would like dogs.
That would assume that it ever actually worked in CoD4
And this is the non infinity ward developed iteration. Were we actually expecting a semblance of quality?
Is it odd that I'm actually pretty interested in the game for just that reason? Something about having the CoD4 levelling, weapon unlocks and upgrades and perks system in a WW2 game really appeals to me. Weird.
Edit: Or maybe a close air support fighter, which makes strafing at targets on the map.

But is this within a certain time limit, or just plodding your way along without dieing?
I have to say, I'm also reasonably sure that if a squad had asked for artilery support or a recon plane, they would not have been asked 'Have you killed 5 japs in a row without dieing yet?' But I guess that that is a bit less important.

I know what your talking about, but those are rockets, not jets.

fair does. I just dimly remember seeing a documentary about various devices and vehicles in the second world war, and that thing being on them. I still think it's hilarious.
What about the remote control explosive tanks?
Some of what they're doing I like, most of it I hate.

So terrible.
Have I been lied to again?
Look at that gametrailers video. The last little 'tick' in the timeline leads to the part where they show off the zombies.
And it will be

No, I don't think that's going to be the case, actually. Also, I have yet to understand why 3 is given the flak it is. But then, I also like Army of Two and Perfect Dark Zero. Take that for what you will.
Plus...CoD3. Yeah. People say Treyarch have upped their game here, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Saw it earlier today.
Looks alright actually.
I've been playing the beta, and it's okay, but has nowhere near the polish of COD4. Granted, it's a beta, but it goes to retail in like two weeks, so I don't see how they're gonna close that gap. At the moment, it's no real threat to the heavy hitters on Live.
Now I just have to decide which platform. CoD4 was great on all 3 and I ended up playing it on 360 and PC (larger servers and better controls VS achievements, LIVE, and new maps earlier than the pc version). I'll probably end up picking it up for the PC to start with and if its made of awesome grab the 360 version early next year when its on sale.
Plus, matchmaking results in less douchebaggery than PC servers with hosts who kick anybody who knifes them in their sniper hideout.
The tanks look asbolutely terrible gameplaywise. I really can't see what's going to sell this over either Gears 2 or Resistance 2 on the consoles.
The tanks really aren't too much of a threat for a moderately coordinated team. Also, I pity the gunner, because sitting up there is basically asking to be transformed into raw hamburger.
PM away!

I like most of the maps so far, except Seelow, which is just too freaking huge and basically tank heaven. I just go somewhere on the periphery and snipe. Taking out tanks is way too much effort and risk for too little reward.
Been using the Thompson mostly, to get that drum magazine as quickly as possible.
If you played a ton of CoD4 and want more maps I highly suggest picking this up
I don't suppose it has split screen coop?
Or indeed any split screen at all?
It's CoD 4 in ww2. But now with doggies, zombies, and coop.
Oh, Jack Bauer and Gary Oldman are also in the game. FUCK YEAH
OH, there is split screen coop. 2 players only offline.
The whole darker feel thing delivers. Japanese troops torturing captives, Germans shooting wounded, Americans giving wounded Japanese troops no quarter.
When you're given the flamethrower, you get unlimited ammo and a ton of chances to use it. And it is satisfyingly powerful.
While I was apprehensive about electronic/metal music playing in the background of a WWII game, it actually works and doesn't draw attention to itself. And do we need another soaring orchestral theme that sounds like Band of Brothers?
They make some attempts at evoking moments from COD4, and it generally works more often than it falls flat.
That said, I am already dreading my inevitable Veteran run through this game. Like COD3, there are some areas where I expected a checkpoint and there's none there. And the friendly AI troops that often helped out in COD4 are mostly decoration here. Not so bad on Regular, though. And the online is good so far. Except Seelow. Fuck that map.
Meh. I'm going to go play Mirrors Edge.
