Call of Duty 5: World at War | Full Version PC Game Free Download
Genre: Shooter | Size: 5.62 GB
Description:
War, as Fallout 3 so famously puts it, never changes. While the
weapons and tactics may differ, it's still about chaos and fear and the
overwhelming of the senses as adrenaline surges through your veins.
That's a hard experience to capture on a screen, but the Call of Duty
series comes close thanks to its constant redefinition of what "11" is
in terms of intensity for first-person shooters. Last year's Call of
Duty: Modern Warfare delivered an awesome and varied single-player
experience that was matched with an even better multiplayer suite, and
it made for some really big shoes for Call of Duty: World at War to
fill.
If you've been living in Antarctica the past year
and haven't heard, then yes, World at War returns back to the series'
World War II roots. This has caused no end of grumbling from fans of
Modern Warfare's contemporary setting, as well as the fact that this
installment was done by Treyarch, a sister-studio to Call of
Duty-creator Infinity Ward. Treyarch did the somewhat-maligned Call of
Duty 3, but the studio looks to atone for that by delivering a game with
an impressive amount of content. There's a solid single-player
campaign, co-op play, a huge multiplayer suite, and even a fun, silly
mode featuring zombies.
It certainly helps that World
at War focuses on the less popularized theaters of World War II. Instead
of serving up Normandy and D-Day for what would have been the umpteenth
time for World War II shooters, the game covers the island hopping
campaign in the Pacific as well as the Red Army's reversal of the tide
at Stalingrad all the way to the Fall of Berlin. This provides some
interesting new battlefields set on sun-bleached coral atolls in the
Pacific. You will see some more familiar spots with the bombed-out
cities and farmlands ofthe Eastern Front missions, but it's still well
done.
War tends to be a savage affair, but the Pacific
and the Eastern Front were especially so. In the game, Japanese soldiers
swarm out of the brush, erupting out of spider holes to charge straight
at you in an attempt to run you through with their bayonets. They'll
play dead and wait for you to walk into the middle of a trap. Though set
outdoors, it feels like close-quarters combat much of the time.
Meanwhile, the Russian Front is full of merciless moments; there's
plenty of gunning down of wounded and unarmed soldiers by both sides,
and sometimes you're asked to pull the trigger yourself.
This
remains a Call of Duty game through and through. What that means is
that the action is fast and fluid, as well as rigidly scripted. The
success of the franchise proves that there's a vast audience for that,
and this won't change anyone's mind. Enemy soldiers and your
computer-controlled teammates respawn endlessly until you advance far
enough to hit the triggers to make them stop reappearing. Then you
advance to the next firefight and repeat the process over again. The
thing is, you're far too busy shooting and ducking and dying to really
notice much of the time. The sense of immersion is pretty complete.
There
are plenty of deafening, large-scale set-piece battles, but there's
also variation to change things up. Case in point is the PBY mission,
where you man the guns on a Navy aircraft. At first glance, this seems
to be a mirror to the Spectre Gunship mission in Modern Warfare; in both
missions you rain fire down from above. But the Spectre Gunship mission
has a cold detachment to it; those tiny blips on the screen that are
human beings die from a foe that they cannot see and fight back against.
In World at War's PBY mission, you're in the midst of a raging air and
sea battle, taking damage and fighting for your life. Or there's a
sniper mission to whack a German general that doesn't quite have the
cat-and-mouse feeling of Modern Warfare's sniper level.
The
campaign does suffer a bit due to its broad scope; the narrative skips
over months at a time, showcasing the major battles of the war. The
result is that the sense of story doesn't seem as strong as it did in
Modern Warfare. It probably doesn't help that we all know how the war
eventually turned out; Modern Warfare had the advantage of a
fictionalized story with plenty of shocking twists and turns.
