For all its flaws, MW2 is still a fun game. The thing that rubbed me the wrong way about World at War was the fact that it went BACK to the Eastern Front, and even though it showed the Pacific Theater in a new and exciting way, it wasn't enough to make me want to shoot some Nazis or Imperial Japanese again. I personally don't give a damn about the realism of the game- Games are meant to be an escape from reality, not a representation of it. If the game isn't so horribly broken that it's totally unplayable, and it manages to still be fun despite its flaws, then I'll play it and I'll have a damn good time playing it. The gameplay was solid, the guns felt powerful, cracking skulls with the Riot Shield was satisfying, and the epic moments in the campaign shocked and awed me the first time I saw them. In my opinion, Infinity Ward did a good job with the game, but regarding World at War, the only major mistake Treyarch made was returning to World War II, in my opinion.
