Call of Duty World at War trailer takes no prisoners
Heads-up heroes! We’ve a grade-A treat for fans of console gaming’s greatest military blaster...
You’d better hold onto your helmets because incoming to Xbox LIVE Marketplace as of June 21 is a fulsome, highly exclusive and, we might add, TOTALLY BRILLIANT video trailer for the next chapter in the Call of Duty franchise – Call of Duty: World at War. That’s so red hot it’s ice cool!
You’ll forgive us if we get a bit carried away but we think the enthusiasm is more than a little justified, especially after the jaw-dropping magnificence of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – a game that not only continues to occupy the upper reaches of video games charts having sold more than 10 million copies worldwide (and counting!), but is still responsible for more than its fair share of activity across Xbox LIVE. Take your skills online and you’ll soon understand why.
The success of COD4 is certainly reason enough to be excited about this fifth outing in the series, but Treyarch, the makers of the game, are not about to rest on their laurels and have introduced a new theatre of war and a squadron of new gameplay surprises.
First things first and we’re back in World War II and, brand new for this series, the harrowing Pacific theatre of war – and that means a whole, devious new enemy to fight. Then there are powerful new weapons to master, new vehicles to wrangle with and excellent new abilities such as swimming. The multiplayer game has been given a thorough makeover too, with two-player splitscreen and four-player online co-op support.
Does the word ‘awesome’ cover it? Well, we recommend that you check out the FREE trailer with extreme urgency and find out for yourselves. Quick march!
With COD4 still so popular, Activision and Treyarch needed to take the series in another direction if they wanted to see another installment sell well this fall. Since the announcement of Call of Duty: World at War there really hasn't been much seen of the game. Sadly while the teaser trailer does give us a short glimpse of the game, it is only that, a teaser. So for those of you who haven't gotten the trailer from the Marketplace, GameTrailers TV has a teaser trailer up too (which is embedded after the break due to GTTV's flash player being a bit finicky these days.)
