CoD: WaW Re-Review (as the old one sucked).

Call of Duty: World at War is very fun, but being so old it has its many flaws, here I will go into detail on how good the game is, its problems, and what effect the passage of time has had on it.

Call of Duty: World at War has all of its grounds covered. It has a fantastic campaign with a rich story, an amazing and once addictive multiplayer (I'll get on the "once" part later), and an experimental zombies mode which would definitely not turn into a staple of Call of Duty later. World at War was the beginning of Treyarch's involvement in the CoD series, and they would quickly make a name for themselves with World at War. Though it is their first game, they very quickly prove themselves capable of developing a Call of Duty even though they didn't have as much experience as Infinity Ward. They managed to create a campaign that retold WWII in a different aspect that not many games looked into, instead of just showing the American side they give the Russian side as well. The American Plot takes place on Makin Island, while the Russian plot takes place from the Slaughter of Stalingrad to the Takeover of Berlin. These two aspects make the gameplay of each very different from eachother, which allows the game to come up with many good ideas and keeps the game feeling fresh and exciting.

The Multiplayer was also a lot of fun to play, and was addicting. The gun-play was pretty good and the progression through levels felt natural. Even though there was a level system, it didn't take hours of grinding just to have fun, the game starts you off with guns that are serviceable and still give you a chance to rival higher leveled players. Though this is good and all, the game was made in 2008 and time hasn't treated it well. The engine has issues when alt-tabbing and other things that force you to sign out of your pc or restart it. Sometimes mechanics can be buggy as well, as the game is pretty old. Not many people play World at War, feeling this progression at a constant is pretty much impossible as multiplayer is pretty empty, not much to talk about here.

Zombies is a mode that is as (if not more) addicting as multiplayer. It's addictive nature is timeless as well, as it does not require other players to have fun in. Zombies works fairly well, though some mechanics can feel buggy (like knifing or zombie hits), but it is still a very fun and addicting game to play. Not only that, but you can install mods to add new guns and maps to zombies to play alone or with friends! (Though there is this rare glitch that can effect your mods and not allow you to play them, this glitch is extremely rare as I saw only one person talking about it on the steam forums. Though I would usually think the guy was lying, it is also effecting me and I can't play mods. I believe it has to do with how old World at War is, and how old software and hardware that the game uses isn't being used much anymore. Even with this information, I highly doubt it'll effect you, it seems very rare).

TLDR: Game is fun and story, multiplayer, zombies are well done. Game is well made, but mechanics can be buggy. Mods are available for download on places like UGX.

Thank you for ready the very long, but also summarized review of Call of Duty: World at War!

While playing through Episode Two there is this feeling of dread that you get, knowing there is no satisfaction of an ending or knowing what even happens to the characters. Other than that feel you can get from time-to-time, the game is very nice. Sadly they don't add much from HL2 so it can feel slightly repetitive. Overall the game is very good and I suggest you play it.

Episode One is a nice continuation from Half-Life 2, showing you how Alyx and Gordon managed to get away from the Citadel, overall a very nice experience! I suggest you play the game.

The Forest in fun for both Singleplayer people and Multiplayer people. The Forest is a stranded-survival type game where you have to gather resources to survive against cannibalistic natives. You can enjoy the game alone and build to survive and mess around, or you can play multiplayer and mess around with your friends. Either way I completely suggest this game and I suggest you get it.

I enjoyed this mod a lot, it allowed us (the players) to get a completely different view on the Half-Life universe. Allowing the players to play as a CP is such an interesting twist with gameplay, forcing the player into a more sadistic playstyle while still keeping the game in good fun. The only issue I had were the puzzles at the ending, which feel completely random chance based instead of it being in your control. I spent fifteen minutes trying to get this energy ball where it needed to go and just refused to work, other than that the game is absolutely amazing and I suggest you play it.

Half-Life 2 is a continuation of Half-Life Games (Half-Life, Half-Life: Blue Shift, Half-Life: Opposing Forces, etc). Half-Life 2 drastically develops the story of the Half-Life Universe, showing Earth after the Black Mesa Incident. The game focuses more on the story than the previous game, but never failed to surprise the game industry. The game had revolutionized the creation of games, just as the first Half-Life had done it had brought new game mechanics to the game and made many adjustments and upgrades from the original Half-Life. This game is notoriously acclaimed and for good reason, I suggest a full buy of this game series, as it's a good buy even 2 decades later.

Half-Life is the first game of the Half-Life Series, and it had revolutionized the creation of videogames. Half-Life had created interesting and fun game mechanics that had worked full well with the story they were trying to portray. Half-Life takes place right before and during the Resonance Cascade, which is where the Black Mesa Research Facility accidentally caused multiple alien races from an alien world to invade the facility and attack the science team, gaurds, and other staff. I suggest a full buy of this game, it barely has flaws and I enjoyed it fully.

A very nice and classic game that requires you to overcome other players in battle, I suggest that people play this game.

Garry modded this game?!?!?!?!?!
