New Multiplayer + Tactics + Game Modes Videos

[Spawndemon]

GameTrailers has posted up five brand new videos in the past two days that feature a lot of great stuff. First they have posted up a MP game modes interview (which mentions the game will ship with 13 MP maps), followed by MP squad tactics gameplay, and finally three new MP action videos. Here is one of the new MP movies:

Looking good, but a couple things:

-I'm guessing it's server lag that's causing the delayed grenade throw?
-The gun sounds are, to me, extremely weak.

Looks pretty cool imo. I love the new War gamemode.

Re: New Multiplayer + Tactics + Game Modes Videos

Thompson has two different reload animations... one for when clip is empty and one for when it's not... when it's not empty the reload animation looks a little weird... since he just pulls out the current clip then pushs a new one up and it doesn't look like it'd stick... he just shoves it in the gun, kinda thing...

"You were promoted to Private Level 2" (or PFC w.e) - so I'm guessing the ranking system is at least 3 times bigger then CoD4? I haven't read up on anything about it, I kinda just take a quick look at videos and that's all...

I don't like the knife sound. It sounds like you hit metal instead of flesh. And again every time I see dogs of war, I die a little inside.

BUT, I've still believe Treyarch can do well.

"You were promoted to Private Level 2" (or PFC w.e) - so I'm guessing the ranking system is at least 3 times bigger then CoD4? I haven't read up on anything about it, I kinda just take a quick look at videos and that's all...

The guy in the video said a total of 650 ranks with prestige, so that's 65 ranks - 10 more than CoD4.

Let the whining begin!

It's pretty much a total of 715 levels in all, including your first run through the ranks and then 10 more prestige.

Re: New Multiplayer + Tactics + Game Modes Videos

I think the the game looks great and Im more into CoD:WaW then I was for CoD:4 before release, the only thing that I see that I don't like for the MP is that you can use any others nations weapons i.e. if your a German you can use the Garand, and a Jap can use the MP44 and a US Marine can use the PPSH-41:shakehead:, Thats just the history talking and I gusse its not that of a big deal just hope it doesn't turn the MP part into a PPSH spray and pray party.
Does any know will the MP have from the main menu the 5 "Creat a Class" Like CoD:4's MP has??:salute:

From the "Game Modes Interview" video, around the 3:15 min mark, I think they will, and it will be similar to COD4 in that Create a Class will be locked at first, until you rank up to lvl 4 (or whatever it was). Consoles (no word on PC yet) also get a nice little bonus...as you complete several levels of Prestige, it unlocks more Create a Class slots, up to a max of 10 total.

The multiplayer aspect in World at War, to me, is a bunch of mercenaries fighting in a WWII setting.

yeah i noticed the universal weapons system and i was pissed as well. however i do remember battlefield 1942 having historically inaccurate weapons (japs with stg44) and that game turned out to be my favorites so far. but in this day and age that kind of bs is unacceptable

If you have historically accurate weapons per side, you're also going to have some imbalances in the game (whether or not this is of large impact is debatable). But if you use the COD4 universal weapon system, the game is balanced and fair. I'd say they just made a decision to choose balanced gameplay over accuracy. I think the only people it's going to annoy are the purists, but most players won't care much and/or will get used to it pretty quick.

For us PC people, perhaps we'll have server options to limit the weapons per side (I'd say we'll probably be able to do this on custom unranked servers at the very least).

In the BF1942 patches, the Japanese got the Type 99, which replaced their STG44. I knew they used the STG44 before, just saying.

i know, but the russians still had the lee enfield and the japs still had the kar 98 and mp18(?). but i got over that.

and whiskey, the moh AA and the first cod games were balanced to perfection by weakening/strengthening weapons (unrealistically, but for gameplay) and no one was mad about having to play as germans in order to get the mp40 or anything. i just think if cod waw wants to brag about realistically gory and gritty the least they can do is equip the soldiers accurately. i think having to fight and kill a Japanese to get his type 99 is more rewarding than being able to select it from the beginning
