1. Introduction

This guide was compiled to help those who are wondering how Multiplayer will work in Call of Duty: World at War developed by Treyarch Studios.

As most of you know, Call of Duty: World at War is dealt during WW2 in the Pacific region. With that said, Treyarch Studios decided to use the game engine used in COD4 and the multiplayer for the most part is the same, but some difference really changes how you view the two.

Online MP for COD:WAW has a rank system similar to COD4, but somethings have been tweaked. It now seems that it takes longer to upgrade your rank from one to another. Initially you are Ranked 1 and it takes a little bit longer to rank to 2 compared to COD4 ranking system. However, you rank changes when you gain more experience points from getting kills and winning matches, like in COD4.

MP Challenges are back and extremely similar to COD4 challenges. You'll see a lot of the same challenges in COD:WAW. The Challenges consist of getting a certain number of kills, headshots, grenade kills, or unusual deaths and so on. Completing Challenges rewards XP and may unlock weapon attachments or camo.

2. Classes

Default Classes:
Bolt Action Rifles (Snipers)
Rifles
SMGs
Shotguns
Machine Guns

Custom Classes:

Like in COD4 you can create classes unique to yourself using all the guns, perks, and attachments you've unlocked. You can now have 10 Custom Classes, but are decided by your prestige.
1st Level Prestige= 6 Custom Classes
2nd Level Prestige= 7 Custom Classes
4th Level Prestige= 8 Custom Classes
7th Level Prestige= 9 Custom Classes

5. Maps
*NOTE: These are so far confirmed Maps.

There is 13 total maps.
Roundhouse - A Level that is entirely industrial which means it probably a Russian Territory. The map is circular and the landscape is desroyed by war: Ramps are dangling and brick and stone are crumpled. There are 2 two-man tanks meant for each team.

Castle - A Level in a Japanese Terroritory. 2 main areas on this map are the Inside and Outside, much consists of the Outside. Outside there's trees, walls, water, and corners to hind behind. Great for Sniping because of the Indoor Towers. There 2 main towers on the same side of the map. There is also a Stone Tower where you can sit by a Stone Window and snipe entirely across the map.

Makin - A Level set in the Jungles of Pacific Japanese Terroritories. It's dark and much of the Jungle has been swept away and is just left with Docks and a swampy river. Great from Close Combat.


Downfall - A Level set in a City destroyed from intense warfare. Trees are burning, Buildings are grounded, and underground tunnels are everywhere.


Cliffside - A Level inside a Japanese Terroritory Jungle. There are several bushes and trees everywhere. There are many hills and bunkers spread across the map for easy cover and sniping.


Dome -


Asylum -

Not complete but pretty good.... Credit goes to The-King-At-Rock-77 for putting all this together for us.

Nice one Shamos, thanks for posting this for us

Very nice find Sgt Major, very nice, I can't friggin wait...........

Nice work, Shamos has come up with the goods, now shane how about getting me a million quid

Martin- I'd be lucky to come up with one quid for you. What the Hell is a quid anyway??? I can probably come up with a million squid come spring time around here.

Haha.

Sorry Quid = 1 Pound

Humm whats the going rate for Squid? lol

Looking forward to trying out the Second Chance Perk

Very nice find SGM_Plumley. I would expect anything less...

Martin, I really don't know because in the spring we just go out into the harbor and scoop them up, the small ones used for calimari not the big ones you see in the movies...

mmmm....calamari.

this is gonna be good. im not sure what the guns are, but im looking forward to second chance, toss back(maybe ill actually be able to kill someone with it), and the flame thrower.

man it sounds like we have 3 new games to get excited about. i will probably end up getting all 3-waw,farcry,socom. i havent seen a whole bunch of it, but fallout 3 looks like it could be good.

Thats coll stuff man but as far as the game goes it kinda sucks looks like no HQ.

Yea true, the quick way to get ranks shame.

Just remember that this list is not everything in the game, just the confirmed info (See note under #6.) The War mode looks like HQ, you are just capturing 5 points instead of 1 from the vid I saw somewhere.

Yea the War looks good, it looks like both teams start on 0 and its the 1st to 5 so if you capture the first 2 flags then they capture 3 they will be +1 and so on until time expires or a teams manages to get to +5. Could be interesting.

Can't wait!!!!!
