IGN has posted up a new preview today for Call of Duty: World at War which talks about two of the levels I actually got to see during my visit to Treyarch: Sniper and PBY. Take a look:

The first new mission takes place with you as a crew member on a PBY Catalina flying boat that stumbles upon a Japanese convoy in the Pacific. (If you haven't heard yet, World at War is set during World War II.) The Catalina is a fairly large plane, but for some reason this one is a bit understaffed, so your job is to run between various gun positions on the plane to basically shred the Japanese vessels below. There are various .50 caliber machine gun blisters along the fuselage, as well as a powerful twin .50 caliber turret up near the nose. The pilots will tell you which gun to man, and you've got to maneuver through the plane quickly to get to it and start firing.
It might seem that a machine gun against steel vessels wouldn't do much damage, but the Japanese ships are fairly thin-skinned, plus they are loaded with plenty of ordnance and stuff that does blow up. The Catalina does slow passes over the convoy, so this missions is mainly about the joy of sheer destruction. It doesn't seem too challenging compared to the brutal close-range jungle firefights seen in other levels, but it may well provide some visceral satisfaction after slogging through ground combat.
