Call of Duty. Best War Game



Call of Duty: World at War is a first-person shooter video game or a RPG role playing game. It is generally considered to be the fifth mainstream game of the Call of Duty series and returns the setting to World War II, after the storyline of the previous title, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was based in the present day.

The game begins in Makin Island at night on August 17, 1942. Private C. Miller watches the torture and execution of Private K. Pyle, a fellow Marine, by the Japanese. After breaking through the Japanese lines on the Peleliu beach, Miller destroys two Type 95 Ha-Go tanks with rocket strikes, allowing their tanks to advance. At the end of the mission, Sergeant Sullivan is killed by a Japanese soldier. Roebuck, now promoted to Sergeant, and his squad make their way through the Peleliu swamps to launch an assault on a Japanese held airfield to disable anti-aircraft guns. During the assault, Miller acquires a flamethrower and a bazooka.

The game then jumps to the Eastern Front on September 17, 1942 during the Battle of Stalingrad. Private Dimitri Petrenko regains consciousness in a fountain, just as German troops kill his comrades. When they leave, Dimitri meets Sergeant Reznov, another survivor, who tells him of his intention to kill General Heinrich Amsel, the man behind massacres all over Russia. After killing some German soldiers in their way, Dimitri follows Reznov through buildings and streets and they meet up with the remainder of Dimitri's unit, who are about to assault Amsel's communication post.
Dimitri is armed with a Mosin Nagant sniper rifle which originally belonged to Reznov, but his hands were horribly injured, quoting "you will snipe for me". Reznov then picks up a PPSH-41 submachine gun and then sets off to assassinate the German General. During the assault, Dimitri snipes Amsel. He and Reznov escape and jump into the Volga River. The following mission starts three years later, during the Battle of the Seelow Heights, near Berlin. Dimitri has been captured by German soldiers in an old barn. He is saved when the Red Army attack the barn. Among them is Sergeant Reznov and his subordinate, Private Chernov. Together, the Soviet troops advance through German lines and Dimitri aids them with a Panzerschreck until they reach a German camp.

It is by far the most popular game involving war fair. It depicts everything so greatly with such meaning. Get out there and buy it today if you already havn't.

  1. I honestly think all these games are made to make the younger generations more violent, and to make the military sound "fun". I mean the game makes killing so cool and everything. Seems just like another brain wash method to me.

  2. I agree that war games do a good job of depicting war. They don't glorify war, but rather show it in a different light where you have an active role, unlike a war movie. I believe an engaging war story can be told, regardless of the form of entertainment.

  3. I personally cannot wait to get this game, I am huge Call of Duty fan. However its just a game, and its something that I enjoy in my free time. I am by no means support war, or anything of that sort. War in video games and war in real life are two completely different worlds. There are no "redo"s in life

  4. I too am a huge fan. Call of duty is also getting better on writing it stories and showing the corruption of war. @samara War games may jsut seem pointless but underneath of killing the soldier it shows how easy it is to take a life. It shows team work and how war is just full of mass killing.

  6. lol yah it is popular more with the guys but i knew a few girls who really get into it once they get bored of watching us play. lol you really should try it, i mean yah you are killing people throughout the whole game but its more than just that. you are not by yourself you have your team and its more of a team effort especially if you are playing live with other players. i guess it lets us live vicariously through the game. lol it sounds pathetic but it is a lot of fun try it, you never know!
