The decision to take the Call of Duty series back to its World War II roots was met with split opinions, outcry and curiosity. How could Treyarch make the era fresh again after so many games had used it as their backdrop? After a long wait, it seems that grit, more violence and a brutal tone is the answer, with none of the substance established by the brilliant Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This is not an awful game by any means, just a significant step back from the foundation laid by Infinity Ward.

Call of Duty: World At War Beta - First Impressions by Dave Cook | 16-10-08

It's funny how quickly some people have u-turned on their opinions of Treyarch. A while back the internet was alight with people who were quick to dismiss the developer over the poorly-rated Call of Duty 3. The game was an issue for debate among gaming circles as the game was created under the strict and entirely unreasonable deadline of a year. Now, the team have had two years to develop the fifth game in the series and, if the recently-released multiplayer beta is anything to go by, they have spent this extra time well. This could be the finest version yet.
