Call of Duty: World at War/Mortal Kombat vs DC (SPOILER!!!!)

[Turaylon Soulshadow]

Call of Duty: World at War is about the same as the rest of the CoD games...you get some out of date guns and go shoot minorities...except for the single greatest secret level in the history of gaming!!!!!

After beating the game in single player or co-op mode, you unlock what has been deemed the Messiah of First Person Shooters by many: Zombies!

It may sound slightly boring, oh boy, more zombie games! In the Zombies level, you and a friend are soldiers in Germany in WWII who have barricaded themselves in a building. Why are they barricaded in the building? Because the Nazis all got turned into fucking Zombies!! Yea, that's right, you fight endless waves of Nazi Zombies. There are three areas in which you can board up windows, place barriers, get new guns, and shoot Nazi Zombies. In one of the rooms (Room after the first room with the HELP painted on the door) there is a secret chest where you have a chance to get 1 of several guns, one of which is a Ray Gun that instantly kills the zombies.

Each Zombie kill is worth a certain amount of money, as is rebarricading windows and other obstructions. Guns that are hanging on the wall (Only way to get new weapons or reload ammo, Zombies aren't using firearms), removing blockades to get into either the side room, upstairs, or downstairs into the side room from upstairs, and opening the secret chest all cost money.

The Zombies do drop special things in the form of floating icons that need to be picked up before they disappear, although they are very rare. Full Ammunition, Instant Kills (Zombies die in one hit while active, even with knives), Double Points (Cash), and a Nuclear Bomb (Destroys all Zombies that are spawned).

In Co-Op mode (Works like this in the actual game as well) you are able to "heal" your teamate if they happen to drop and get them back up to where they can fight with something besides a pistol from the ground. In the Zombie mode, should your partnet bleed to death, if you survive the round (Rounds end when all currently spawned Zombies are killed) your partner will be "resurrected" and able to help you kick more Nazi Zombie ass.

The creators of the game were only able to get to round 23 (last I heard).

Mortal Kombat vs DC

This, compared to other "recent" fighting games (talking 2000-present) is a big disappointment. Obviously they weren't thinking character balance when this game was made. Speed and power issues make this not even worth buying for any reason other than the novelty value of it.

Other than the balance issues it plays like any other new age fighting game. Sub-Zero still has the same button combinations for his freezes that he has had since the Sega Genesis version. Apparently Sonya and Catwoman got boob jobs and Kittana started taking steroids though, as it looks like the designers were trying to go with a Dead or Alive type of sex appeal for the female characters.

Special characters I've seen are Darkseid and Shao Kahn, both of which hit like trucks and have a ton of health.

a wall of babble.

Let me summarize this for you.

Both games suck. World at War is a really half ass attempt after how good Modern Warfare is, and MK vs DC took a once proud fighting franchise, castrated it, and made it cry for help while it got raped by the Assdozer.

Pretty much, although the novelty value of the Nazi Zombie Apocalypse makes it pretty entertaining for the time being.

Both sound fun enough to play through, at least.

I've been watching the Fatalities movies on Youtube. WTF? Pretty watered down IMO

I didn't get a chance to play through actual 'story' mode on MK vs DC so I'm not sure if it's like Mortal Kombat: Deception was where you run around doing a bunch of crazy things or if it's just another generic fighting game. The actual fighting aspect isn't the greatest thing in the world, a few of the special moves really break the game.

Call of Duty is worth playing through if you actually enjoy first person shooters. I, for one, am not a huge fan of them, but as I said above, the Nazi Zombies are a nice little addition that make it at least comical to play.

Yeah, like giving Sub-Zero, a guy who's been notorious for his inability to teleport for like 10 games now suddenly can teleport. Pretty much broke my heart with it.

As for the story, it's interesting. I played it a bit from the DC side and basically you start off as flash and there's a story which leads to you fighting people, then batman finds out that flash was really scorpion in disguise and then you start following batman's story and it keeps going through all the characters (minus a few), and although I applaud them for trying to make a story that makes the two worlds together make sense.. it's really lame. Almost like the explanation of Yoda/Vader in Soul Calibur.

It's the same general bad idea for a game that Marvel vs Capcom was. The only reason peolpe liked it back then is because we were all too young and stupid to realize it sucked. Kids nowadays have no idea who the fuck Sub-Zero or Raiden are, and Shao Kahn is non-existant. Wonder Woman and The Flash are ancient history. The only reason any of them know who Batman or Joker is is because of the recent movies.

Kids read comics, Tur.

If only anyone actually gave a damn about the Hall of Flame thread anymore...I'd nominate that. Been reading through some of those old threads and they still make you laugh and have that tingly nostalgic value now.
