We dive back head first into World War II, this time co-op style, in Call of Duty World at War. A first for the series, the game supports co-op through the entire campaign as well as a 4 player co-op zombie mode. Is this game a worthy successor of the CoD name? Or is it shades of Call of Duty 3 all over again?
Verdict
The Co-Op Experience: The co-op campaign allows players to rank up and unlock perks in competitive multiplayer by completing challenges and earning experience points, adding continuous re-playability and team-based gameplay. After completing single player you unlock a 4 player survival mode with Nazi zombies. Players are required to hold a structure by buying weapons, ammo, and fortifying the structure.
