So I got CoD 5: World at War for the xbox 360 for Christmas. It was fun, I beat the solo game in a couple days, and the xbox live is real solid with some good gametimes. Like one just called "War" where your teams have to fight over five flags in sequence till your team controls all of them. It funnels everyone to one spot, so they're be 8 people on either side all fighting over a few feet. Nice class customization too. As you kill people you get points, level up, and unlock gear and perks so you can customize your character to use in future games. That's just like CoD 4 but the challenges have been expanded on. Like 75 headshots with a certain weapon will unlock a special scope for it or something.



Anyway, Nazi Zombies. If you beat the solo game, and wait through the credits, there's a first person cutscene of you opening your eyes after an apparent plane crash, then slowly seeing zombie start stumbling and sprinting towards you as you open your eyes. Then you start out in a very typical abandoned house with boarded over windows and debris all over the place. All you got is a pistol and a few magazines. Then a wave of slow, old style zombies start wandering up and breaking down the planks, you have to blast them to death with your pistol, trying to keep them out. While simultaneously boarding up the windows again. Head shots help a lot though unloading a whole clip into them can kill then too. But you get points for killing them and boarding up windows, which you can use to buy you new weapons, and unlock new parts of the house, such as an upstairs and a root celler. AS the waves go more and more zombies come (all dressed in nazi officer uniforms) and they get stronger, and faster. By round four your forced to move out of the starting room to get in a better position and with access to better weapons, like a pump action shotgun, and a heavy machine gun. There's even a box which gives you one random weapon, including a special ray gun, which looks like it's straight out of the Jetsons, but can blow zombies on any round in one shot. By round 10 it gets really tough on your own, with zombies sprinting at you like it was 28 days later and taking a couple point blank shotguns shells to kill. My record is round 11. I was around 700 killed zombies I think. You can do co-op up to four player over xbox live too. Which is great. I think the world record for four player co-op is 36. You can check out the last ten rounds on youtube. I highly recommend it.

I just though I'd post this, cause its adds so much to the game and Gear's Left 4 Dead post reminded me of it. Seriously though, I've spent way more time on the zombies than on the campaign.

Man i played Nazi-zombies on PC with friends we were 3 man and got to 19 wave we all had the rail gun but the zombies were EXTREMELY fast and 2 of us lost all of our ammo and there was no ammo bonus so this was the reason we lost if somebody can play good we can play via Hamachi

Yeah, I always unlock the "Help" Door, then the stairs in the cellar and go into the back room with just the window and the door. With 2 ray guns you can hold out there for quite a while.

Nazi-Zombies... that sounds like the ultimate enemy. This sounds like a cool great. ^^ oi

I've never understood one thing about video games...

How come when there's a door or chest that needs to be unlocked, it requires a key, yet you have hundreds of bullets, dozens of weapons that can blast an enemy in half, and the strength of a bull, yet you can't simply use your weapons to unlock something, you have to find a god damn key. x.x

Most locks in FPS games are electronic, meaning using bullets on them would be counterproductive. As for other locks...well, they either defy the laws of physics or they are made from titanium. XD

EDIT: I forgot. Half-Life 2 had locks which you could break either by shooting at them or hitting with the crowbar. Other doors would have debris behind them, so they would not budge.

In all the Call of Duty, the Player character is totally incapable of opening doors, or locks, you have to wait for sarge to run across the battlefield and turn the handle, which you somehow, cannot do.

Maybe you don't have thumbs... you don't need thumbs to fire a gun right?

Oh yes, I forgot about that in CoD 4. But then again, if you would be able to open doors, then you would not follow the sergeant. :P

Well...you do need thumbs if you want to properly grip your weapon. Afterall, you do hold it at the handle and below the muzzle.

I hate to switch the topic to a different game, but does anyone play Resident Evil?

I don't, though 5 is looking pretty attractive to me.

But on Nazi zombies, I went over to my friends hose yesterday and at about 2:30 A.M. after playing since 7:00 P.M. we got to round 22 two player co-op. That's fantastic because the current legit (by which I mean no glitches/cheats) world record for 2 players is 25.

Considering that we used to be incapable of getting past round 8, I think we may break the world record eventually.

High-five!
