CoD4 V.S. CoD: WaW
By Cameronm123 on 16/11/2008
So the new call of duty has been out for a few days, they've gone back to the original creators of 1, 2 and 3 a bold move. They then again took it back to World War II.
My question is, which do you think will be better, More successful and Overall the better Game?
Basic Game facts:
CoD4:
CoD4 has been voted game of the year in 2007 and has continued to be one of the most popular games of 2008 closely followed by halo 3 and various other games. The game itself is based in real time, meaning it represents most of the modern days and guns, it also is based off of usually the USMC (United States Marine Core) V.S Terrorists or the SAS (Special Air Service) V.S Russian forces with terrorist tactics. This game was the first of the Call of Duty's to bring to light different tactics, ranking system,new points system and the idea of 'game challenges'.
CoD5:
Made by 'Treyarch' the same people who made 1,2 and 3. The game is situated again in World War II. As ive only played the demo my knowledge is limited but, from what i understand it is basically almost the same as no 3 with better graphics, multiplayer and new maps. The guns used are oldschool guns which are often used in most World War II games such as the Thompson, Kar98k and the MP40. However one of the game-defining things that i've been told is a "Nazi-zombie attack thing" similiar to horde mode in Gears 2. Another feature is the ability to use vechiles, this option was left out of CoD4 but re-added to CoD5, it includes cars w/ mounted guns and Tanks which always add fun to a game.
Overall my decision im gonna stick with call of duty 4, but i want some people's opinions about CoD5 before i go and spend £40 odd on a game.
So yeah, gimme all your thoughtsss

I like both. If you've got good people (like me) who play both, then you should adjust just fine

torrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrents
free?
Anyways, i'll check it out, hopefully it can run on my laptop, COD4 did.
By Jrm 04 on 18/11/2008
Even though I had my doubts on COD5, they are both equally great games to play. If I think about it, COD5 is a 10/10 game
IF COD4 never existed
By Twizlers300 on 18/11/2008
I own both now, and, purely judging on the Multiplayer part of CoD, I would prefer CoD4 to WaW. Both are fun but WaW is...Idk. Graphics are AMAZING but I'm not sure about the game.
I have yet to try the campaign though but I heard good things about that.

Haven't played it, but WW2 bores me. Waiting on CoD6, being made by Infinity Ward (CoD4 creators) and hopefully either modern or near future.
By Zooby69 on 20/11/2008
I played COD5 today, didn't think it was all that great, im buying Gears of War 2 instead.

Totally agreed. Future would be more fun, not like Halo guture though.
By Geoff_Bland on 20/11/2008
Treyarch just didn't do enough to change the game in my opinion. I know that it's set 60 years before CoD4 but the whole game just sort of feels similar. They only really broadened their horizons with the Nazi Zombie Survival mode (Which is epic). I was expecting more changes and a bolder move from Treyarch.
I prefer CoD4 alot more mainly because WaW in-game seems so distant unlike it's predecessor where I felt alot more involved and basically in it. It's really hard to explain through words.
I only play CoD5 for the new levels; I have nothing to do on CoD4.
By Buzzard1985 on 20/11/2008
Depending on how you look at it, it's alright.
CoD4 is definatly better. Overall CoD4 graphics are better.
CoD5 is a good game for people who like fast paced online play. I think CoD5 is a little more realistic but is basically the same as CoD4 since they pretty much took the CoD4 engine and stuck WWII graphics into it.
But overall CoD4 > CoD5
CoD5 Campaign > CoD4 Campaign
Treyarch could of done so much more with the campaign. I mean they could of done something with the concentration camps or many of the allied raids. They focused it on American battles and Russia's raid on Berlin, but they could of put something to do with D-day (allied invasion of Normandy) or many of the other fights in the game.
I rate CoD5 as 2.5/5
CoD4 as 4.5/5
CoD4 gameplay is overall more smooth and the graphics are a lot better.

Well, most of those have been done TO DEATH (looking at you Normandy) so it was nice to get a little variety. I for one however, would really love a game to let us experience the battle of the bulge, operation Torch, and the Italian campaign.

and African.
Actually, I think there should be a game made dedicated to the German/Japanese campaigns but not in the eyes of an Allied solder, but of an Axis solder just to show how they saw everything.

Just beat CoD5 Veteran Campaign... Kyle... the guy who fuckin designed the difficulties for CoD5 Veteran needs to be shot in the head. Multiple times. When you get to the final missions you'll understand. They're impossible and require a lot of luck.

Yeah, I know. I'm not doing Veteran till I have time and the brain will to do it xD.
Edit: Matt, Normandy was just the first thing that came to my head, I hope you get my point though that they could of done so many things with it.

i'm with cod4 all the way, i havn't yet played cod5 but i don't think i could go back to a WWII game. Modern is too much fun :J
By Chappell44 on 21/11/2008
cod4 ftw tbh
By Geoff_Bland on 28/11/2008
Now I've unlocked the STG, CoD5 is *alot* better. Having an automatic rifle which is pretty similar to the Ak but with less recoil is SWEET! I'm also learning all the places of where to noob tube spam at the start of Hardcore S&D matches to rake up my kills (What the very top people do)
By Cobster10 on 15/12/2008
COD: WAW, it's okay. The campaign was amazing to me. The graphics blew me away and I just could not put the controller down. Much better the COD4's
Multiplayer, on the other hand, is pretttty lame in my opinion. I don't know what it is. Too big of maps I guess. COD4 multiplayer is just funner to me.
By Zooby69 on 23/12/2008
COD5 Campaign was brilliant, i hated COD4, americans and russians FTL.
By Skilled You on 24/12/2008
I like Cod4 better, But Cod5 is a better game. I play cod5 i stoped playing 4 because 5 is just flat out better.
By Wrecknbreak on 26/12/2008
One thing I hated about COD 4 was how unreliable the claymore was, well a tleast when compared to the bouncing bettys. In 4, you could literally run past them unless they were placed a good distance from the door.
By Joe mamma27 on 26/12/2008
I like CoD4 much better.
CoD4 hands down is better for online play. I think CoD5 campaign was a little bit better than CoD4. But then again, I don't buy FPS for campaign, i buy them for online.
Also, I know none of you know who I am right now, but my Xbox live gamertag is "Zoo_Dane" if anyone wants to add me.
By Ragingwealth on 26/12/2008
I dislike the way graphics are handled in CoD5 WaW
They basically aimed it at high end pc's, giving all mid pc's a real low FPS rate which pissed me off.
I messed with my config file after googling and now it gives me great FPS, shit graphics though.
CoD 5's campaign is seriously small, it lacks a lot of fun enhancing stuff, Such as team work. You only get one new recruit + the sarge as your team and they get boring over time.
Meanwhile, Captain Price and Gaz made CoD 4's campaign a lot more fun. Sgt Griggs too.
CoD 4 graphic, campaign and gameplay is really a lot more awesome than WaW
By Bow_Pwnage on 02/01/2009
Hate to against the majority. I like CoD5 better than CoD4 for a couple reasons.
CoD5 has Nazi Zombies which I think is really, really fun

.
CoD5 has more things to do online, like War and CTF (My New Fav). So you get more availability. But I do kinda like the multiplayer maps on CoD4 better than CoD5.
By Alexo37683 on 06/01/2009
Personally I like COD5 better, I barley ever played 4, and that was at a friends house 2 or 3 times, I got 5 about 2 weeks ago, and have been playing it
By Jasonnnnnn on 07/01/2009
cod 4 for life
By DZ on 07/01/2009
I like WaW better because it has bolt actions. I hated how pretty much every gun on CoD4 was semi-automatic.

By Toshortofnam on 09/01/2009
I dont have any of the 2 .. dont even have a 360

Just play it at my friends now and then when i go there .. 5 in much better id say
By Fullmetal792 on 09/01/2009
I liked CoD 4 better. I like the game better than 5 and the multiplayer is still good in 4.
By Mickey on 09/01/2009
Ok I pick CoD5 now. CoD5 graphics are alot better, the maps are bigger and there is generally more to do on it.
I do miss my old guns though
By Master Tom5 on 22/01/2009
COD5
Even though I like modern warfare more than WW2, I love the graphics and the gameplay.
By assassin0345 on 07/02/2009
Grphics on cod WaW outdo cod4. Maps on cod4 are legend compared to cod WaW and betty's are so annoying >.< Sniping on cod4 was defo better. Overall i would say cod WaW is the better game

I can't use my modded rapid fire controller on cod5 though
By Kyle on 07/02/2009
I would like CoD5, but all people do online is just whore the automatic weapons, so I'm sticking with CoD4.
By WG_Aaron on 07/03/2009
Call of duty 5 doesnt exist yet.
Call of Duty WaW is just that. WaW.
CoD5 is indevelopment
CoD5: Modern Warfare 2
By slayer123121 on 07/03/2009
I have both, Cod4 is EASILY the better game, don't buy into 5 when the Cod6 Modern warefare 2 is out in November, if you waited this long u can use 4 till then.
5 is ok, some parts are good, but i still say 4 is way better, and not worth spending the extra on.
By Samurai-JM on 07/03/2009
You all know 4 is better than WaW. Stop trying to justify yourself for buying a worse FPS loaded with gimmicks and good graphics.

I like Cod5 Alot better..I like nazi zombies a whole lot and idk i jsut like the maps better also..
By Samurai-JM on 25/03/2009
Zombies belong in Halo, not a realistic WWII shooter lol. I'm destroying with my new CoD4 setups though:
Golden Mini Uzi w/ Silencer
USP Silenced
Bandolier
Sleight of Hand(Stopping Power for non hardcore)
Steady Aim/Extreme Conditioning
-Rapes face up close on hardcore. Fast and insanely good for spraying.
and
Red Tiger M16 w/ ACOG
MP5 w/ Silencer
Claymores
Overkill
Deep Impact/Extreme Conditioning
-My new infiltration/camping setup, great at all ranges, very fast, very accurate, and awesome on hardcore. I never knew how good claymores can be outside of just camping lol.
By evegaza on 16/04/2009
nah its still cod world at war till the new one comes out, infact your all wrong its the godfather 2 >.> ha!!!!
