Call of Duty: World at War

don't even gotta say anything, amazing game, 10/10 should get

such a good game
such a good campaign
OG zombies, ton of fun man, i never played the dlc maps back in the day so thats been a blast

he campaign is top tier... they dont hold back anything in this one, puts modern day games to absolute shame

DImitri you have cheated death once again...Maybe our friend here will help them bleed!


HONSTLY a really fun and good game but can glitch sometimes.

OVERALL: 9.9/10

A good classic cod. Campaign is really good. Multiplayer may not function but Plutonium allows for community servers. Zombies has all 4 classic map, There is also a massive backlog of custom zombies maps that can be installed. would heavily recommend.

If you LOVE history and realistic portrayals of it, this is the game for you.

This game is an excellent portrayal of the savagery, and merciless brutality of the second world war. The grittiness of the atmosphere, the 'show-don't-tell' style of storytelling, and the CONTROL the game gives you over whose lives you take away, and whose past and futures are burned away in time forever whether you kill them, or your friends do; it all comes together to create the (what I believe to be) most raw and unforgiving WW2 game to exist.
When you kill someone in this game, it doesn't feel like you're just killing a generic game npc. It feels like you're taking everything that someone could have been away, forever. Stories and lessons learned throughout life to tell their children, friends, or family are eradicated from history forever.

the game play is amzing while the grphics are nice

I love call of duty, it has only gotten better over the decades! I would love it if the Development team ventured into other great wars of history, those wars that led to ww1 and ww2. Such a great game!

This campaign is so historically accurate, it's f*cking unreal!

Those who worked on this game are gods.

Best WW2 fps of all time, especially the campaign.


So many memories me playing this on the Xbox 360 & later PC.

Multiplayer is unbalanced as hell though.

Campaign & zombies is what I recommend with this game nowadays, especially all the mods for this game for zombie maps.

This game made me think how great activision was back then. Playing this game made me a little more interested in world war 2. Lastly I give this game a 10/10 on how this game was made.

Shoutout to the Old Gits Having Fun community (OGHF) for keeping the multiplayer alive and well, if it wasnt for the servers these guys host I bet the multiplayer would have been long dead by now.

Game is 17 years old and it still haunts me to this day. Beautiful game. BUY IT DUDE!!

Let me start off by saying 17 years later and this game still holds up, still holds a candle to any other war game made today! It's more than just a war game. It's a masterly crafted historical account of the true atrocities of war. From an amazing soundtrack, captivating voice acting, and stellar set pieces I still believe this is the best Call of Duty campaign in the entire franchise. This game leaves you with a feeling like no other. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't play this game.

They don't make them like they used to. This game is of phenomenal quality and every gunfight feels like a movie.

The campaign is great but short, graphics hold up well and multiplayer is still somewhat active.

got me into modded zombies back in the day. download and play the project viking map, you wont regret it.

I played this game a lot as a kid growing up, mainly played it on my old ass PS3. WAW has aged incredibly well compared to other older CoDs imo, while I prefer Black Ops 1 for it's Story and Zombies, without this game, we would have never gotten that game's Zombies. I've yet to replay this game's Story, but from rewatching it on YouTube, it's still amazing. I'd argue that WAW's Story is not just a CoD game, but also a Horror game too! I have been replaying Zombies however, and I still love it as much as I did back when I was a kid. Should you buy this game in 2025? Absolutely! Make sure to wait for a sale tho, paying full price for a game from 2008 is madness!

One of the best Call of Duty games of all time in my opinion, bar none. From the campaign, to the soundtrack, to the sheer amount of FUN I've had playing this on my Xbox 360 back in the day with my friends - this game is my absolute favorite COD game ever. It's a shame that the multiplayer servers are no longer active on Steam, but I'd still recommend this game to anyone that wants to try out the older COD games and is also a history buff, as this game is widely known for being based on the events of World War 2. For $20, it's certainly not a bad game by any metric - and it goes on sale quite frequently, so if you ever wanna give it a go I'd say it's worth it.

This game is so good id rather get ra*ed by shit ton of grenades on veteran and being stuck on one lvl for 5 hrs than play 2 mins of vanguard...

IMO top 3 CoD's of all time. The grainy feeling of the old school playstyle is just unbeatable.

A classic, banger game. Always a fun time to come back to this game

Easily top 3 Call of Duty games. MW2>WAW>Black ops 1. The Halo style co-op campaign was so fun back in the day.

I don't know how this game plays
i heard it was good
i wanted to try it
it only has three hours on it becuase i left it on while i cooked supper and went for a walk
then i wrote this review becuase it prompted me to and i like to

Call of Duty: World at War is a- GRENADE!

fuck it you get the point

Amazing game. Genuinely the most harrowing game ive ever played.

SPOILER: Also when i saw Reznov i thought i was seeing things lol

One of the best Call of Duty's EVER MADE, the Soviet campaign is amazing and blends with Black Ops amazingly. The Pacific campaign well, I thought it was boring but its still a classic.

Honestly the game may be good and all that you expect from a shooter, but the graphics suck on the PC and it's not even playable with a controller, so I thumb it down for the mechanics. World at War can be easily finished compared to future iterations of the franchise and it feels like it's the one where the story is least intense. We know it's World War two and the developers did not bother with adding new content to it.

nostalgia for sure, i remember when i first played this game when t came out it was fun.. the original nazi zombies.. only downfall is.. steam over fucking charges for it just like every other old game. you can literally get it for free on xbox.. money hungry selfish rich people like usual of course. on top of that the price of new games in store is cheaper than what steam charges. but yes its a good game. if you never played it you will enjoy it!

Worth it if you wanna play the campaign, but in 2025 there are a many better ways to play Zombies and alt tabbing is broken without some modification.

Hands down one of my favorite games in the Cod series, Treyarch was able to create an outstanding game full of the horrors and cruelty that WWII was plague with while telling a story in a war torn setting. With battles such as the Battle of Okinawa and the Battle of Stalingrad, getting to blast enemy's with an M1 grand or mowing down Nazis with a PPSh. The multiplayer might not be as active or safe as it was back in 2008, I highly recommend using Plutonium when it comes to playing multiplayer. Lastly this was the game that kick started the zombie mode for future Treyarch games, I have played a lot of Nacht der Untoten back in my 360 days with Der Riese being my favorite. I would recommend this game highly for anyone looking for a WWII shooter or shooter in general.

Where subtlety goes to die screaming in a hail of mortar fire. Congrats, you’ve unlocked ‘War Is Hell: The Theme Park Ride,’ complete with a Soviet sergeant who yells louder than my upstairs neighbor and a checkpoint system designed by Satan’s intern. Enjoy mowing down waves of enemies who apparently cloned themselves from a single Nazi, because quantity over quality is this game’s middle name. The story? A+ for making me feel like a war criminal. Gameplay? Hold ‘W’ and pray, baby. Also, thanks for the flamethrower—nothing says ‘historical accuracy’ like turning soldiers into human marshmallows. Still, 10/10 for making me fear tall grass after that sniper mission. Play it once, then never speak of it again. (P.S. The grenade spam alone could fuel a drinking game. Spoiler: You’ll lose.)"

Story is captivating and really does a good job of selling you on the illusion as if you really were in the shoes of the characters both Dimitri Petrenko and Pvt. Miller. The audio and visual effects are a masterpiece and the Environmental Storytelling is a kiss from god as it truly immerses you into the game. Its accurate portrayal of how gritty and unsettling World War 2 was is just amazing. And its attention to historical detail without going overboard to the point where it feels unrealistic or inauthentic to the real life war it wants to portray is an added bonus. All World at War does is show you an authentic World War 2 and doesnt hold back no matter how difficult or uncomftorable it is even adding things like war crimes and swastika's to show you that this is history wether you like it or not it doesnt hold your hand or wash away the uncomftorable truth that is war

Still plays great all these later. The mod community is great. There are some issues when trying to play online multiplayer, but what can one expect. When you are able to get online or join a server it is a blast. Nazi Zombies is still infinitely playable and the campaign is a nostalgia bomb for the ages.

Good game. The best campaign that exists in the Call of duty series. Great zombie mode. Bloody and brutal portrayal of World War II.
8/10

Great game wish I could just play normal mulitplayer like on xbox.

best ww2 game there is great multiplayer if you find a good server and zombies is just amazing what i love is waw is not very hard on low end pcs and modded maps mostly have good quality to but since its not made by the devs you cant really count it and a little suggestion for modded maps my favs are das herrenhaus and hanoi

An OK game, only worth it if it is on sale. The single player is quite short and is more like a series of battles rather than a flowing story. There are two campaigns that the game alternates between: US marines in the Pacific and Soviets on the advance to Berlin. As with some of the previous Call of Duty games, a few of the levels owe a lot of their plot to memorable scenes from war films (the Soviet campaign starts with the fountain sniping scene taken from Enemy at the Gates, for example) The Soviet campaign felt more disjointed then the Pacific campaign, as the Soviet campaign jumps quite heavily through the timeline. The Zombie defence game adds some more game time, especially if played with others - although it can be played alone. I didn't bother with multiplayer, so I've no idea if it is any good. The single player can be completed in under 8 hours though.

Gritty , fun campaign w/ lots of enemies.

The start of cod zombies as well as modded zombies mixed with a amazing campaign and very fun multiplayer, do yourself a flavour and play this game at least once

Multiplayer - meh
Campaign - Great!
Zombies - Fantastic; great alternative to BO3 Zombies, faster for lower end PCs and with Plutonium runs like butter!

The first CoD game I ever played and personally, its probably my favorite CoD game. Its great to play campaign, solo, or with friends. Def approve

Very fun. I like the bolt-action rifles the most, especially the Mosin Nagant.

I played on the hardest difficulty, I played mouse and keyboard, I played solo, and I broke at least one mouse.

Fun for everyone. 10/10.

fucking badass espesially with mods on zombies. head to cod repo for custom zombie maps

The best Call Of Duty ever released.

Black Ops and WAW were my childhood games. Coming back and playing on the 360 servers in 2025 is just as fun as 16 years ago.

Got this to play the original zombie maps and it did not disappoint. So many good memories!

This game was basically my life back in 2008 over on the Xbox 360. So many hours spent gaming with friends killing zombies and each other

The campaign was brilliant, too. Planting that flag on top of the reichstag at the end of a veteran playthough was the crowning achievement of my life back then

classic game. campaign and zombies still holds up. wish i could play this game for the first time again. 5/5

Shit pricing and Security issues aside, honestly a REALLY fun game in terms of MP and it's Campaign (Oh and highrounding zombies wink.), would, recommend people to only pick this up for sale with the bo2 deluxe bundle (you get bo2 and this).

Please do, use Plutonium to play this, though.
