It basicly COD4 but retooled and skined for WWII,
Has some extra perks, Bouncing betties put claymores to shame.
Alot I like about this game, so probobly better and quicker to mention what I dont like about it.
1. Dogs!, When playing cod4 beta, I think I was the first to mention and ask for Dogs as a kill streak reward, Now that it is here in COD5 I am sorry I asked for it. The dogs are too powerful, and unlike the helicopter you can not realy hide from them, and you never know where they are., when you kill them they just respawn, In hard core if they just touch you you die. I would not be sad to see the dogs taken out of the game, Or at least make them much weaker so you can battle them for a while like in cod4 campaign.
No head shot rewards??!!
They still have the 150 head shot challenges for the weapons but for getting the challenge you only get a tiney bit of experience points.
I would love to have the gun camos back, but Treyarch stated they left the camos out because there was not enough room left in Multiplayer to fit the Memory. What ever, New camos was what kept me playing cod4 so much, now its gone.
Well thats about it for the stuff I dont like... The rest is great.
You can start your own squad in a game and all your squad mates show up with blue tags, the rest of the team is green and enemy red.
This works when you are in a play list as well, everyone in your party shows up blue on screen an in map.
After using the hightech weapons in COD4, it takes a little getting use to for the old guns to feel good, they feel a bit weak, slow and odd at first but after a few hours you get used to it and they feel good.
The maps are pretty large compaired to COD4, and the company said it has larger MP maps in the full version.
Some people hate the tanks in round house but I think they add to the feel of the game, A sence of danger when an enemy is cruising arround in a tank.
I plan on picking this game up as soon as I can, Hope many of the HQ guys do as well.
Oh, if you have not noticed, the hand grenades have become noticibly weaker, If you get a grenade close to a guy it will kill him, but they have had the blast radious taken way down, The developers stated they did this to cut down on frag fests like those that occure on wet work in COD4, and to cut down on blind luck kills from blind frags.
I have over 2 days total into the game and have maxed out on rank and guns, so feel free to ask any questions.
Nice deal gamexxover, full in depth report on how you feel about it and i agree with you on all points.
If you left any thing out it would be the fact they still cant seem to work out a spawn system that feels fair but the options are limited when you got full on chaos like that.
I for sure will be right there on launch day with my M1A1 thanks to a pre-order from GameStop.

Good point, I forgot to mention the Poor choice of spawns are still there, I have often spawned righ behind an enemy only a couple feet away or in same room. ALSO>>>>>> There is NO, I repeat NO spawn safety timer, you can be killed the instant you spawn.
That combined with often being spawned right in front of someones gun site makes for some frustrating moments, hopefuly they will add a 3 second spawn safety in full game.
Ah man, some one posted a 4th vote and left no comment.
Kind of defeats the point of what im trying to find out.

Sorry Wes. That was me. At first I didn't like it. Maybe it was the transition from present day warfare to WWII warfare. But the more I played and unlocked perks and stuff (like you said Wes) the better I came to like the game. I agree with everyone else about the spawn points and stuff. There have been numerous times that I have been spawn killed which sucks and kills your Kill/Death ratio. I love the dogs. I think they were a great idea because they actually used them in WWII. From what I hear they were pretty vicious too. So that adds a little more authentic feel to the game. The tanks are pretty cool. Don't really have a problem with those. Sniping on CoD 5 is way harder than CoD 4. Which I would imagine it would be a lot harder in real life too with the older weapons and stuff. But it's a good thing that they make you work for your sniper kills. The only reason I didn't give the game the highest rank on the poll was because of the spawns. Also because like gameover said, its basically CoD 4 reskinned. I think that for a major game developer they could have redone everything a little better than CoD 4. But overall its going to be an amazing multiplayer game and I can only dream about the campaign. LOL Hopefully the campaign will live up to Call of Duty's reputation. That's my input on the game. 9 out of 10. _________________________________________________________
Nice deal SIK, happy to see you come back to share with the group but i am a bit confused about the 50% of gamers on line that flat out hate the game.
Ware are they and what is it that makes them full on hate the game all together?
I ask them when I'm playing but just get the run around and I'm not trying to shoot them down or call them fools, i just want to hear all sides of the story.
Any way thanks for posting back Sik and as for the ones reading this but not posting or voting, cut the $h*t and choose.
See you guys on the front line.
