Now Playing (NOT): Call of Duty World at War
Well, I would be telling you how awesome this game is (PC version tested). But I can only tell you how awesome the Single Player is. It is an excellent single player campaign so banish thoughts that Treyarch couldn’t deliver in the wake of the juggernaught that is Inifnity Ward’s CoD4.
Except the multiplayer (which is by all accounts, awesome for those who can play it) is busted. I cannot get as far as making an online profile so I can play. Instead the game continuously cycles between trying to connect and make an online profile and error messages. I patched the game but it made no difference. Googling found it was a common issue in the Beta and others have had problems with retail. I then stopped worrying and tried to continue the SP, but the patching meant I had to restart the level rather than continue where I had gotten up to (This should never happen in a retail release BTW). I even had my machine just shut down twice whilst playing.
So my first PC game that I’ve bought on ages that I wasn’t also planning on buying again for console or play on my iMac (Spore) is likely to be the last. I want to play the Multi so much and this is highly frustrating.
Treyarch. You nearly pulled it off. You almost laid to rest the spectre of Call of Duty 3 (which at least had great MP). Instead I will make a pinata in the shape of your logo. I will dip it in petrol and set it alight before I start beating it with a flaming baseball bat. I will then douse the flames of the Treyarch Logo Pinata by pouring a bucket of Horse Urine on it and then offering the smoking remains to some very large and cynical hogs.
