I think this is deserving of it's own thread :p

I defiantly find WaW more broken the more I play. When you first dive into it you can start picking holes right away, but the deeper you pick the bigger the holes get.

Stabbing people 3 times and having them live.

Once I spawned with bullets inside me already. Not spawned and then was shot. I was already dead before I actually spawned.

Randomly spawning in enemy territory, once I got yelled out for "spawn camping" when I Just had spawned there too.

Player movement sounds are just weird. Although the taunts can be funny. Of course once when spawning in enemy territory the guy who killed me took it upon himself to inform me that I was "on the wrong side"

Getting killed by a Bouncing Betty from behind walls or triggering them from cover. I swear those things have majic proximity sensors. "It's behind a barrel, I'm safe." *pop* *boom* *dead*

I got the award "Turret hunter" by shooting random people on foot.

I shot a tank with a tank, disabled it, it killed me. Shot it 7 times with rifle grenades and it still survived and killed me 6 times before somebody with a bazooka took it out!

Shooting somebody point blank in the back of the head on hardcore mode and having them live, turn around drop prone and shoot you, because you are so confused by the fact that they are not dead.

"Aperture" sights that make no bit of sense. "Sure I can totally strap this magnifying glass with cross hairs on it and have it work... at all" This very VERY unrealistic addition to the game was just to please all the COD4 players who would cry a lot if the game didn't have red dots. I would rather see some historical accuracy then something this un-realistic. Not to mention the iron sights on the guns are a lot better then most of the ones in COD4 anyway.

M1 Carbine! Why is this the last gun to be unlocked? It was designed to be an easier to use then a pistol fire arm for field officers. It is made to be equipped when "the requirement of a full-size infantry rifle as an individual weapon had proved unworkable. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_carbine)" but for some reason is almost as powerful as it's big brother the M1 garand and equal in power to the SVT and Gewehr 43. Here is a nice side by side comparison

I think the only reason they even released that game is because it was being made at the same time IW was making CoD4 and a lot of money was already invested in the game. I'm sure they knew they were screwed when CoD4 was turning into one of the biggest multiplayer shooters ever made and they didn't even release theirs yet.

I wonder how many CoD4 fans bought that game thinking it was CoD5 or even made by the same company?
Unless a CoD game is being made by IW I'm not even touching it.

I knew it would suck ... I saw the reviews and opinions on it and was a total reck but I bought it because it was a clan game and i thought the clan was getting it but i guess not many did :(

The only reason I got it was for Co-Op. Although I ventured into multiplayer with a hopeful and open mind. I played the beta release of MP and was curious to see if they had fixed some of the issues. Some had been fixed, like the fast tanks but sadly the spawn issue still remained. I really didn't know much else about the game or the fact that it wasn't made by IW. The only thing that keeps me going back is the lack of traffic on the SS server. The only game reviews I see are Yatzees Zero punctuation. :p

OH

Buying WaW through steam doesn't let you launch multiplayer directly unless you go into steam and tell it to do so. Even with a shortcut telling it to play multiplayer will launch single player then go "oh wait you wanted MP", quit single player and load multiplayer. This stops you from being able to make desktop shortcuts or even being able to use Xfire to connect to your favorite servers.
