Call of Duty: World at War Available for Half Price on Steam over the Weekend

Call of Duty: World at War has been developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. The game was released in November of 2008 for the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS, Windows mobile and Windows PC. In the past there have been some rather attractive weekend deals on Steam with prices of games being slashed by as much as 50 percent. Now we hear that Call of Duty: World at War is available, all this weekend, for half price on Steam.

This means that you can get a PC version of the game for as little as 24.99 USD (approx. Rs. 1,230), which incidentally falls cheaper than Call of Duty 4. Included with the World War II shooter will be the first downloadable content pack featuring four new maps including the map Verruckt which can be played in 4-player co-op Zombie Bonus Mode. Also, as another bonus, players can earn double the experience points playing multiplayer games over the weekend. The sale only lasts the weekend though and ends with the coming of Monday.

Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 Available for Xbox 360, PS3

Call of Duty: World at War is the first person shooter which was greeted late last year by generally positive reviews. And Activision and Treyarch have revealed that the Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 can now be downloaded by Xbox 360 and PS3 users. Four new maps are included in the map pack which comprises of Banzai, Corrosion, Sub Pens and a new Zombie map, Shi No Numa.

“We are thrilled with the ongoing support from Call of Duty: World at War’s online community,” exclaimed Studio Head of Treyarch, Mark Lamia. “To the millions of fans enlisted for battle, we can’t wait for you to play what we have been working on with our new competitive multiplayer maps, and our latest co-op Zombie map, that reveals some exciting surprises!”

The Banzai map takes players deep into thick jungles situated at the heart of Japanese territory, as they fight to assume control over a river bridge. The map has villages, a waterfall and even hidden caves, and is well suited for sniping as well as all out gun battles. In the Corrosion map, players find themselves in a broken-down Russian train-yard and enemies seem to pop out of every corner.

The next map, Sub Pens is an abandoned Japanese submarine base. Players will have to factor in rain conditions as they battle for control of key choke points. While in the Zombie map Shi No Numa, COD fans will face an endless horde of Zombies. Hell Hounds zip through the jungle environment and Imperial Zombies coming from the foggy swamps make for a tremendously scary experience. The map introduces new traps and a new weapon, the Wunderwaffe DG-2, known more conveniently as ‘The Lightning Gun’.

The Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 for the Xbox 360 can be downloaded from the Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points and for the PS3, it is available from the PlayStation Store for 9.99 USD (approx. Rs. 475).
