...as I shall insist on calling it, even though it's officialy 'COD: World at War.' Anyway,here words here, which I wrote for Britain's Most Influential Games Journalist Tom Bramwell over at Eurogamer after getting eyes-on with COD5 a little while back.

Things said include the likes of this:

"Indeed, one thing Treyarch emphasise over and over is that we should stow our preconceptions about World War II. Even the presentation is markedly different - there's a real sense of grime and darkness, while your NPC fellows are more like (understandably) angry, foul-mouthed thugs than the unflappable stiff-upper-lippers of yore. This is war, not tea for two.."

Your task for the day - predict how many people in EG's comments will say something like "World War 2? Not interested".

I really, really want this to be good.

I'm not hopeful, but it'd be a nice treat.

Flamethrowers + Co-op + CoD =

World War 2? Not interested

[buzzmong]

Well, the pacific conflicts havn't gotten nearly as many games about them as the European one, so I'm all for the change in scenery.

The Pacific side didn't have nearly as much source for ground conflict, but the Eastern theatre in general did. Wonder if we'll get to play thet B-17 crew who did the one-way bombing run on Tokyo and ditched in China.

Pacific you say?

Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces.

sharks, etc.

I read up on that event recently, the historical event that inspired the monologue I mean. This is quite a good survivors account - http://www.ussindianapolis.org/woody.htm

Well, it's an odd-numbered CoD, so I wouldn't expect anything superbrilliant.
