Aside from the constant presence of burning rubble and tiles missing from the walls, you'll also see a large chunk of street that has fallen into the middle of the map from the city above. However, it's not just any train station but a bombed out, collapsing, and somewhat claustrophobic subway. Next, it was on to the Station map, which, like its name indicates, takes place in a train station. Walking through this water will not only slow you down by hindering your movement it also tends to make a detectable commotion that is sure to alert any nearby enemies to your presence. The flooded rice fields and winding rivers that make up this map actually have a large impact on the matches themselves. Besides being filled with several partially destroyed shanties, Knee Deep is also host to overgrown jungle foliage and a ton of water. Walking through the village's dirt streets, you'll see the effects of previous battles, some of which provide unique opportunities, such as a hut with a huge hole burnt into its roof that offers an excellent vantage point for sniping. This one takes place on the island of Peleliu in a fairly small village that has recently been under duress. The first map we checked out was Knee Deep. While similar in size, all three of these maps still manage to have a different look, feel, and strategy than the others.
Each of these maps was surprisingly large, allowing for some very good large matches to take place. We were first able to put each of the three standard multiplayer maps to the test in deathmatch and team deathmatch varieties.
Map Pack 1 consists of four total multiplayer maps, three made specifically for standard competitive online multiplayer and the other for dispatching with the undead in the Nazi Zombie Bonus Mode - more on that one later. The COD: WAW Map Pack 1 will also eventually make its way onto the PC, but specific pricing, details, and dates have yet to be announced.Īt a recent event held by Activision, we were lucky enough to get some hands-on time with the console versions of COD: WAW's first map pack expansion. Thankfully, the latest entrant into the COD series, Call of Duty: World at War (COD: WAW) is poised to expand upon the initial multiplayer offerings it delivered on the original game disc with its first map pack being made available March 19th for the PS3 and Xbox 360 for $9.99 and 800 MS points, respectively.
Even today, COD 4: Modern Warfare continues to give good old Master Chief a run for his money as the most played online game on Microsoft's console. The first years of Xbox Live on the Xbox 360 were filled with countless matches of COD 2 for many early adopters of the system. MaThe appeal of the Call of Duty (COD) franchise when it comes to online multiplayer is hard to deny.
