COD: World at War Gets Release Date, MP Beta in October

COD: World at War Gets Release Date, MP Beta in October
Written Thursday, September 04, 2008 by Dan Webb

Activision just sent out word that the latest instalment of the Call of Duty series, World at War will be available on November 11th in North America. No word on Europe just yet but chances are they should be expecting the game on the 14th, which is the following Friday.

In addition to the release date announcement, Activision have sent word that they also intend to run a multiplayer Beta period in the month of October.

The press release I have in my hand makes no indication as to what region this applies to, it just says go to http://www.callofduty.com/ to register (but I found nothing there a few minutes ago) or North Americans can pre-order their copy and get a Beta code from Gamestop.

Either way, be patient, I'm sure more info will come regarding the Beta  in the coming hours/days/weeks and at least we have a new release date for the much anticipated Call of Duty: World at War now.

Look out for our preview later on today.

I had the beta for COD 4 and I hope I will get into this one too. Once I get this game, I will probably spend more time playing GoW 2 so the beta would be a good way to play the game.

I'm still very hesitant about this, its a shame they keep swapping developers.

I'm not looking foreword to this at all. Why do we keep going back to WWII??? For the love of god we have been playing those games since playstation days...stick with modern warfare!!!!!

Unless it has industry shaking gameplay or something I probably wont bother with this, even if I get in a beta.

Why go back to WW2 when you could be playing 10 other great games coming out in the fall

meh...thanks but no thanks treyarch. GOW2 (for sure getting) and Fallout (if money isn't too big of a hassle) got my hands tied right now.

i think COD5 will be a good game. Cod3 wasn't that bad and that was done by Treyarch and i hope i can get this beta :)

why WWII again.
they need to just to modern. the
WWII games are pretty alright, but there is just to many.
so i will just wait for the next call of duty.

I'll be playing Fallout 3, so I may try the beta to see if it's any good before it is out.

Why are people always complaining about WWII games .. there is just as many Future Combat games, and Furturistic combat games .. i love most war games .. and yes i think this game has mega potential, what with them going with the same deal COD4 with the online with perks and weapon upgrades and so on, one thing i hope they don't do is put achievements into being multiplayer specific .. learn from COD4 and go with a full single player list .. please !! it makes the game so much more enjoyable online.
