Gametrailers.com has a wealth of great gameplay videos for Call of Duty: World at War (CoD 5). This trailer has a lot of action but for some reason the graphics just don’t look as compelling as Modern Warfare. Nevertheless, I can’t wait until it comes out later this year. I doubt it will beat the weaponry in CoD 4. It would be awesome if they could get 4 players on a machine only like Halo. There is a a severe lack of party games out there right now.

Call of Duty: World at War is coming out this November. Video trailers are online at the official Call of Duty website. It looks pretty cool I guess but something about it isn’t as gritty as CoD 4.

Unbeknownst to me, the prestige medals and badges in CoD 4 are based on actual medals awarded in the military.

Or, the lazy man’s way, a crappy alternative version of the video embedded below. The guy that owns the good video does not allow embedding.

Less interesting video comparison I suggest a better video

OK so it’s chump time. I thought I was satisfied with prestige 1 so I stopped playing. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of shit at work because I stink at the game. Anytime we play a round of headquarters the team I’m on will get a big old doughnut. Perhaps a result of not playing it 2 hours every night. Also possibly a function of poor strategy and not respecting the kill/death ratio.

Now that I haven’t played CoD at home in at least a month it feels like time to dust off the PS3 and see if I can handle powering up in Prestige 2 zone. I’m sure I’ll totally stink but it’s time to work on pumping up the kill/death ratio. My typical k/d ratio in a game of headquarters was a pretty miserable 1:2.

The medal above is from a package of CoD 4 medals that downloaded from artistpavel.
