Call of Duty: World at War

Launched in early November 2008, Call of Duty: World at War is the 5th and latest iteration of the popular Call of Duty franchise. Available for a wide variety of consoles as well as PC, the game follows two split story lines - one of the Americans in the south Pacific as well as the Russian advance on Berlin. Featuring even more realistic gameplay, local co-op and enhanced multiplayer action, World at War is slated to be the most popular Call of Duty yet.
