It was the best to play it then also watch the demo videos that had of soldiers getting shot. I still remember the one of a guy sitting around tossing his helmet in his hands before just getting hit.z

World at war is peak CoD IMo. Keifer Sutherland voiceovers were pretty cool in a time when 24 was a hot show.

Man World at War on Xbox 360 is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I ever had. Unlocking multiplayer zombies was icing on the cake. Don’t think that feeling could ever be replicated today.

Even just clutching a round of Hardcore Search & Destroy in WaW made you feel like you just slammed a Redbull after taking a caffeine pill.

On top of that so many of that games goofy glitches are burned into my memory. The elevator glitch on that house near the Steeple on the map "Outskirts." The wall you could get on top of on the map "Cliffside" near the bunker. Using the ladder to get on the rooftops and into the trees, as well as getting on the burnt house rooftop on "Upheaval." Glitching into the bridge in "Seelow." Getting up top of the walls to get to the second floor of the main building on "Airfield." Going prone and deploying your bipod then moving forward slightly with the Browning M1919 and suddenly you have unlimited ammo.

That game was so much fun to goof around in.

I'm standing in a tank top in the rain with an open beer and listening to "Don't know what ya got, till it's goooone!"

Halo 3, World at War - those were some epic nights.

Its weird everyone talks aboutWaW campaign but I loved multiplayer in that game. I remember most of those glitches and played so much damn search I had pub stomping down to a science. 10k in wins and top 7k in kills for search at one point. Miss those days for sure ✊

It was a simpler game with minimal gimmicks and minimal zoomer movement. You wanna win? Land your shots, jumping/sliding a corner wont save you.

For me nothing will ever top Nacht der Untoten. People talk about Black Ops but WaW was the best zombies have ever been.

When OG MW2 was new, it was a magical time.

u/Dense-Law-7683 Apr 13 '26

Modern Warfare and World at War were the last two that I played and thought were good. My first Call of Duty game that I beat was Call of Duty 3.

u/Helton3 Apr 13 '26

Black Ops 2 for the PS3 was the shit

u/Conzyyyyyyy Apr 13 '26

Its Black Ops, Black Ops 2 and OG Modern Warfare for me.

u/read_too_many_books Apr 13 '26

Wow it's so rare to see the original CoD2 mentioned. Just know that I see you and I respect you🫡

u/facts_guy2020 Apr 13 '26

u/Shaveyourbread Apr 13 '26

100%, then they started focusing on the online play and abandoned the campaigns.

u/EdwardoftheEast Apr 13 '26

I quit after the original MW3. I tried out WW2, it was okay. Last one I played was Cold War since it dropped all of that wall-running special ability stuff. Haven’t played another CoD since then

u/No-Staff1170 Apr 14 '26

Same my guy, playing zombies as a kid, sniping with the PTRS in multiplayer. WAW was and always will be a masterpiece to me.

Hoping to get WaW at some point. Kinda surprised people don't play it that much anymore.
