several questions about World at War

[Dorkenstein]

Is the finished game better than the beta? I enjoyed the beta but it had flaws. Also, is there a good amount of servers to play on? Last question, is cheating really bad in this game online?

Thank you, I am thinking of picking it up this weekend and wanted some input.

Quite a few servers, and growing every day, obviously as more and more folks picking up the game. I found more hacking in COD4...but, game has not been out long...

I like it a lot. Most of the maps are bigger than COD4's maps. Also many more colors, rather than the drab beige/gray of COD4.

If you have a good rig, the graphics are impressive. I run the game at 1600x1200, and play "multi-ffa" online w/ fast cable connection.

CoD4:MW story line was much better. It really pulled you into the story and made it feel like you were in a movie. CoD5: W@W does not have the same effect. I think it's hugely b/c of the overdone WW2 theme, as well as all the intense moments having the feeling of "been there done that". Using Keifer Sutherland as a voice over was a pretty cool thing though.

Coming from a console POV for MP, can't really say much with w/ the cheating. But gameplay wise I haven't played nearly as much MP on W@W as I did on MW, maybe b/c I need to adjust to it or give it more time, but for now, I don't like MP as much.

Zombies is really fun though and I've spent a good chunk of my time on that.

Quick gameplay question, since I bought it on steam last night. Does ANYONE use the Arisaka or the Trench gun effectively? If I use either gun its a death fest for me, I rarely get more than a couple kills with those guns. The Arisaka has a rate of fire issue since its bolt action, but the trench gun only seems to wound people unless I am pointing it straight up their nose. Also, is sniping harder in this game than MW?
