'''Call of Duty: World at War''' moves back to World War 2 after the success of [[Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare]], the previous installment in the [[:Category:Call of Duty|Call of Duty series]]. This game is a very intense first person shooting experience. The single player campaign includes dealing with German and Japanese militaries in an all new war scenario. Be prepared to handle a lot of blood and guts, because the stories from the war soldiers were real depictions that have affected their lives.

Call of Duty: World at War features a more mature theme than previous installments in the series. The game is also open-ended, as there are multiple ways to complete objectives. The gameplay of World at War shares features with previous iterations of the franchise. Players fight alongside AI-controlled teammates, who help during the game's missions by providing cover fire, shooting enemies, and clearing rooms for entry.
