Players that attempt to harness the power of new weapons, like the flamethrower, will find themselves capable of burning away environmental elements that give cover to a camouflaged enemy, leaving a charred battlefield – and their foes – in their wake Coordinated Assault and Support – For the first time in the franchise, Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-op, bringing fresh meaning to the No One Fights Alone mantra.

Call of Duty: World at War co-op features up to four-players online, or two-player local split-screen, allowing gamers to experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. The title also incorporates traditional multiplayer components such as challenges, rankings and online stats into the co-op campaign for deeper re-playability and advanced gameplay New Theaters of Operation – Players fight as U.S. Marines and Russian soldiers facing enemies – some new to the Call of Duty franchise – that employ lethal new tactics and know no fear, no mercy, nor the rules of war.

New development with party systems allows an intimacy with squad based combat never before seen in Call of Duty. Combined infantry and vehicle missions add a new dimension to the online warfare and offers more PERK abilities Cinematic Quality Graphics and Sound – Treyarch's award-winning sound department returns with effects that add to the already immersive cinematic intensity of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare game engine

The Call of Duty: World at War PC Beta has arrived to the PC. It feature 3 Maps: Castle, Makin, and Roundhouse. More gametypes will be available then the Xbox 360 beta, and your level cap will be set to 40. The beta allows you to play the game before you buy it. You will need to be registed at Callofduty.com to be able to get a key to play.

Call of Duty: World at War completely changes the rules of engagement by redefining WWII gaming and thrusting players into the final tension-filled, unforgiving battles against a new ferocious enemy in the most dangerous and suspenseful action ever seen in WWII.

Powered by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare technology, Call of Duty: World at War brings an uncensored edge to combat, as soldiers face the most harrowing and climatic European and Pacific battles in which an enemy, who knows no surrender and no retreat, will fight to the last breath, unleashing an arsenal of lethal surprising tactics. Peril and danger lurk throughout the battlefield as players combat the unknown risk of the new chaos of battle.

From the remains of Russia and the ruins of Berlin, to the beach and jungles of the deadly Pacific Theater, the volatile action takes on added depth as players employ new features that previously were only-available in multiplayer, including perks, rankings and online stats in up-to full four-player cooperative gameplay. New infantry and vehicle-based weapons, like the potent flamethrower, bring the battlefield ablaze.

Look for the game to be released in November, while we play COD5 Beta. Drop by the COD Division! See you at the Front!

In Memory of Zirawing

2008-09-16T22:49:00Z

The remainder of the Quake Wars Divisions Battle For Earth Season has been dedicated to the memory of Harold "Zirawing" Hof.

We received news today from Holland, where Zirawing was a member of the military, that he passed due to a fire. While trying to save others from a fire Zirawing was trapped behind a firewall and the roof collapsed onto him. By the time rescuers could reach him it was too late.

Zirawing will be remembered by our team as a dedicated TAW member full of spirit and enthusisam. He will be missed by all that had the opportunity to get to know him. Our thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends.

In addition a QW Division Memorial will be added to the QW Hall of Fame and Zirawing will be entered there in rememberance of his service to TAW and the QW Division. The QW Division lounge will also be renamed the Harold "Zirawing" Hof Lounge.

Good Luck hOtDoG from all of us at TAW! We look forward to more great news!
