Pretty self explanatory. I feel as if I need one of the WWII Call of duty games, and everyone I have talked to has said that COD 3 is crap, and that cod 2 is awesome, and that cod waw is awesome, though many people have argued against each opinion. And don't mention cod classic, just between these two. So, what's your personal verdict?

Just call me Mister T. Everyone does.
Also, I enjoy being funny on YouTube! Watch if you want. http://www.youtube.com/user/KingTizye96

This game by far. Much better campaign. I must have played it 15 times on veteran.

CoD2 is better for single player.
CoD3 has the best multiplayer of any CoD IMO

This game has a slightly better campaign (though I love WaW's campaign as well), but I never got into the multiplayer so I couldn't tell you on that front. If you're going for multiplayer features though you can't really go wrong with WaW, its noob-friendly but there's skill involved as well, and Nazi Zombies and campaign co-op are a blast.

I would recommend Call of Duty 2 over World At War for Campaign, it's not based quite so much on cinematic qualities, and it doesn't have all of the random swearing that World at War has. The multiplayer experience is completely different between the two. If you prefer the newer styles of multiplayer in the Modern Warfare games, then go with Waw, but COD2 essentially lets you choose one gun, and you get the same side-arm for all guns.

World at War for Nazi Zombies, Call of Duty 3 has vehicles in multiplayer (very fun), and Call of Duty 2 has the best "standard" COD multiplayer. No perks or custom classes. I prefer COD 2 simple aproach to multiplayer, killstreaks sort of ruined it for me.

This is a fantastic game, but WaW is a better game overall, both multi and sp.

W@W. Much more replay value. COD 2's multiplayer is a barren wasteland,and is very dated anyway.

Product description

Amazon.com

Call of Duty: World at War from Activision for the Xbox 360 completely changes the rules of engagement by redefining World War II gameplay. In this edition, players are thrust into the final, tension-filled battles against a new, ferocious enemy in the most dangerous and suspenseful action ever seen in a WWII title. Building on the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, this installment promises to immerse players in gritty, chaotic combat. You'll have to band together to survive harrowing and climactic battles that defined WWII and led to the demise of the Axis powers.

From the remains of Russia and the ruins of Berlin, to the beach and jungles of the deadly Pacific Theater, Call of Duty: World at War's campaign gameplay employs features that were only available in multiplayer gameplay in the previous installments. With this title you can take advantage of perks, rankings, and online stats in an up-to-four-player cooperative gameplay that is sure to revolutionize the way you play Call of Duty. And with new infantry and vehicle-based weapons, such as the potent flamethrower, you'll have the tools you need to set the battlefield ablaze and defeat the enemy.

Advanced Enemies, New Environments, and Fearless Tactics
You've never encountered combat challenges like those presented in Call of Duty: World at War. Prepare yourself to face off against ruthless enemies who employ advanced tactics. Your foes will stop at nothing to defend their homelands. With swampy ambushes, tree-top snipers, and fearless Kamikaze attacks, there is no safe place to turn. As U.S. Marine and Russian conscripts, you'll battle against the fearless Imperial Japanese and elite German soldiers in epic infantry, vehicle, and airborne missions across a variety of Pacific and European locations. On foot, behind the wheel, or in the air, you'll have to be relentless to achieve victory.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Physics-Enabled Battlefields
Call of Duty: World at War utilizes cutting-edge technology, including highly-detailed character models, self-shadowing, environmental lighting and amazing special effects to deliver best-of-breed visuals. Depth of field, rim-lighting and texture-streaming technology bring the adrenaline-pumping combat to life. And with physics-enabled battlefields and fire that spreads realistically through environments, you'll feel immersed in battles that are both life-like and dynamic.

Cooperative Campaign Mode
For the first time in franchise history, Call of Duty introduces cooperative campaign gameplay, bringing a breath of fresh air to "No One Fights Alone." This gameplay mode allows up to four players to meet and play online, or a two-player local split-screen co-op. Now you can share the terrifying experience of campaign missions with your friends for greater camaraderie and improved tactical execution. Co-op mode also incorporates innovative multiplayer components, such as challenges, rankings and online stats, and even features a competitive co-op mode that will identify the best player on your team.

Improved Online Multiplayer Action
Call of Duty: World at War once again delivers sophisticated, class-based, online multiplayer action that has made the series famous. New additions include vehicle combat with tanks, and Call of Duty: World at War rounds out the multiplayer experience with improved features, such as persistent stats, player rankings, upgradeable weapons, squad-based gameplay, customized classes, enhanced perks, and more.

Why COD WaW is the best COD?

It brings with it some gritty gameplay and a lot of action in the main campaign. Things didn't stop there though. The next great feature for this title was its iconic multiplayer.

Is COD WaW good?

Overall, the campaign mode is incredibly enjoyable to play through but the main criticism is, its even shorter than the campaign mode in Call of Duty 4. And that was short. Now to the online mode. Franky it is excellent, the problem is if you are not a newcomer to the series: it is no Modern Warfare.

What made World at War different?

A major difference between the multiplayer in World at War and the multiplayer in the Modern Warfare games is the ability to drive a tank in some maps. Therefore, Vehicle Perks are included in-game. Tanks can be used for both tank-based combat as well as killing infantry.

Will World at War be remastered?

According to Ralph, World at War, Call of Duty 1 and Call of Duty 2 are planned as the next remasters.
