About Call of Duty: World at War

Call of Duty: World at War was released in 2008 and marks a return to the World War II theme present in the original Call of Duty and Call of Duty 2. The game contains two single-player campaigns: one that follows a U.S. Marine fighting through battles in the Pacific Theater against the Japanese and one that follows a soldier in the Soviet Army in the final weeks of the war and the fall of Berlin.

The game was well received by fans and critics alike and still has a dedicated following. Call of Duty: World at War is also the first Call of Duty game to feature the popular Zombies game mode. This game mode went from a nice extra to a part of the franchise that is expected with each release. The original Zombies mode in World at War features a tower-defense style game mechanic where players fight wave after wave of zombies, trying to survive for as long as possible. It doesn't contain an end or any victory conditions: it's about how long you can survive.

The Zombies mode in subsequent Call of Duty releases has become more story driven and complex with competitive and co-operative gameplay. In all, there are now more than 20 Call of Duty Zombies maps, all of which are detailed in this Call of Duty Zombies maps and mode list.

In addition to the Zombies mode and single-player game modes, Call of Duty: World at War features a competitive multiplayer game mode that pits two teams against each other playing on various maps from the single-player campaigns. All four factions — the United States, Japan, Germany, and the Soviet Union — are available in the multiplayer component, and it includes perks, different soldier classes, and more.
