Your foes will stop at nothing to defend their homelands. With swampy ambushes, tree-top snipers, and fearless Kamikaze attacks, there is no safe place to turn. As U.S. Marine and Russian conscripts, you'll battle against the fearless Imperial Japanese and elite German soldiers in epic infantry, vehicle, and airborne missions across a variety of Pacific and European locations. On foot, behind the wheel, or in the air, you'll have to be relentless to achieve victory.

1.0 out of 5 stars The truth about the World At War collector's edition!, November 12, 2008

This review is from: Call of Duty World at War Collector's Edition (Video Game)

My wife bought this for me as an early christmas present. I wholly enjoyed the previous CoD games, and was really looking forward to this one.

Unfortunately, the CE version is completely NOT worth your money.

Let's list the bonuses, and the problems with each:

The Canteen: This is, in fact, NOT a canteen. It's more like a flask. Oh... and it's welded shut. A hastily applied sticker over the packaging on the back tells us that it is "For display only, not for drinking"
Ok, that's not a huge issue, I mean, it's just a gimmick, right? The other bonuses are pretty good still!

The "Day 1 edge": First off, let me say that most of this will be second-hand information, because MY REDEMPTION CODE WAS BLANK.
From what I understand, there are a lot of people having issues with codes not working, codes not received, etc. In addition, the high-level gun is only available if you play the class it's for. It's NOT fully available... you cannot use it to create your own class.

For all of the problems people are having with their collector's editions, there have been little to no response from the makers. Their support forum has over 100 pages of posts from people having problems, and there is not a single post from an admin or developer, answering them.

If you want to buy the collector's edition, just keep in mind that you very well may not get your money's worth. BUYER BEWARE!

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth picking up regular edition if you can find a deal, December 20, 2008

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Call of Duty World at War Collector's Edition (Video Game)

The only thing worth while in the collectors edition is the Double XP which plays as a game type (Officers Club). You can bring a game party with too so everyone can enjoy double xp which helps fill game types, but you will still have issues finding matches on off hours (Nobody bought collectors basically). The double xp only happens when the company feels like putting it up and so far I've seen it twice. So I'd be wary about buying the collectors at this point since you can't redeem the code to get Double XP at any time you feel like it.

The Canteen is a joke, you can't drink from it. The top is either glued or welded on. It wouldn't surprise me if the canteen contains lead since it is made in China and that is why they don't want you drinking from it.

Early level FG42 access as a preset class you can't edit perks or anything, so it is as good as worthless.

Tin game case is over sized and looks pretty cool but it's just a case.

Overall the game is enjoyable, graphics/audio, plenty of maps, weapons, tank fun. The single player is excellent and 4 player co-op is worth buying the game alone. There is also a bonus co-op game type zombie mode where you fight off Nazi Zombies wave after wave that is a ton of fun. Regular multiplayer though will keep you replaying the game so it has plenty of replay value.

The biggest gripe though I have with online game play is hit boxes & hit detection. If you played Call Of Duty 4 it is painfully obvious how different/off it is at times but you can adjust to it. Toss in the map glitches and some bugs that the company is slow to update, it will at times make you yell out WTF and get you worked up a bit but that might just be me.

With all these complaints I still like the game and feel it is worth picking up, but I'm pretty biased to World War II themed games and prefer them to modern combat. I'd recommend getting the regular version on sale or lower price and avoid collectors edition because it is simply not worth it.

It's not that bad, they just have some problems to fix. Other than the fact that you can't split screen on Xbox Live and that your progress in campaign doesn't save when you play it in offline co-op, its pretty fun. Also, when you get your code on the card you get in CE, make sure you go to the website to get the token first, not just enter the code off the card into xbox live market place (the website gives you a different code)
