COD5 demo on Live, DLC dated News
Xbox 360 PC PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
Activision and Treyarch have finally released a Call of Duty: World at War demo on Xbox Live and announced that the upcoming multiplayer map pack will be released on 19th March for PS3 and 360. That's next Thursday.
The demo, first of all, clocks in at 932MB and consists of the "Hard Landing" mission, which is playable in single-player and online co-op for up to four people. The official website bills it as an "exclusive" demo, so don't hold your breath, PS3 owners.
Meanwhile, the already-announced map pack consists of the Verruckt map set in a zombie asylum, as well as three normy maps - a railway station, one in Berlin and one in Peleliu. There's no word on how much it's going to cost yet, but we'll let you know. PC owners won't be getting it on 19th March, but are promised more details "soon".
In the meantime, if you're contemplating the demo, why not also read our Call of Duty: World at War review?

Strange, the headline said COD 5, the article says Call of Duty: World at War. That could cause confusion if you notice the lack of any game called COD5 so far and believe it's a demo of a new game. It's not COD5! It's not even the 5th COD game really, what with all the spin-off etc.
Passing that, I can't see many people who want the game not already having it, but it's always nice to make a demo available for those who don't. I'm always up for demos. |

well, considering it's the COD that came after COD4...most people are inclined to call this COD5...just because some marketing douchebag at IW or Activision- Blizzard likes to reserve the '5' for yet another COD, means little in the real world, imho.
OT: bit late isn't it? game has been out for a while now, why is there no versus online, that would seem more logical considering the timing. |

rrriiight...comparing a gaming icon which has been alive for 5 generations with a gaming franchise that only has seen 5 iterations (excl console spin-offs) is totally justified.
The reason for mario to receive different names seems is, imHo, justified to refer to the new system etc. i really don't see the need to defend IW for this stupid decision, unless you're the douchebag that came up with this idea. Then you have full rights to this odd post:-). |

"only has seen 5 iterations (excl console spin-offs) is totally justified"
Not really that simple though is it, given that COD3 was only on consoles. SO you can't say that the proper CODs are on PC and the console versions are just spin-offs. COD:WW is just what it is, it's not COD5, because it's not called COD5. I doubt we'll ever see a COD5 in name, the modern warfare brand will get its own regular updates a la: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Dut... and these will be interspersed with historical CODs from various wars .. for example COD: Vietnam? As for who will develop which and where new engine tech will be introduced, it's now hard to be sure.

Does anyone call Super Mario Sunshine "Super Mario Bros 11" because they know better than "some marketing douchebag"? They might, if the previous game was called "Super Mario Bros 10" rather than "Super Mario 64". If it had been then it'd be completely understandable if people did. Instead, obviously, they should have called it "Super Mario 65". ;) Regardless as they've reserved COD 5 for the next one and it's their game it's also their prerogative, it's not really too difficult to get your head around, a lot of fuss over this. Either way lets not fight over it: if we turn on each other then marketing wins. ;) |

really dont get the exclusive demo thing. Has it really made anyone go towards xbox just for this? Yeah, of all the possible types of exclusives exclusive demos have to make the least sense. I mean, if you developed or published the game on all platforms then why would you not want to interest people with PS3s or PCs and hopefully get their money? |

Hang on, online co-op for 4 people? I was under the impression that WaW's campaign mode only supported 2-player co-op. Is this right?

Does it matter? It only takes 1 person to run forward to the magical point where the infinite respawns stop and your AI teammates clear up the enemies. |

"I'm glad you weren't in the Wizard of Oz. "Hey look, it's just a guy! Here, behind the curtain! Some dude pissing about!"" I'm kinda glad too because if I were in the Wizard of Oz I'd have ended up with some kind of major surgery (brain op, heart transplant, sex change) or had a house land on me. None of those sound like fun! "The illusion holds nicely for me, and I've never pushed hard enough to break it." It didn't twig after sitting there for 20 mins shooting the exact same soldier in the exact same forehead over and over that you were in some kind of groundhog moment? ;) Fair enough if you enjoyed the SP, but personally I find it bizarre that they set up this authentic, detailed, realistic war experience then slap you in the face with a 50 foot haddock with 'SNAP OUT OF IT! I'M A GAME MECHANIC' written all over it. |
