World At War Exploding Body Parts ???

[LILNIG]

Why is it Call of Duty World At War was the only cod game to feature detachable limbs?

Why did they not continue this throughout the franchise of cod games???

When I first played and seen how an explosion or shot gun blast could blow off body parts I thought this is what COD was missing all along and will be AWSOME to see it continue throughout the franchise!!!

But it didnt :cry:

Only questions... WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????????

To answer this we must look at the styles of the game designers:

IW build upon their last game (i.e. cod 4 -> MW2)

Treyarch prefer to build upon the previous game (not always theirs i.e. Cod 4 -> W@W)

Simply treyarch took cod 4 and instead of focusing on a huge jump in all the basic things like graphics (i.e. the jump in detail from Mw -> MW2) they focused on enhancing the minor details, i.e. realism through gore, enhanced gameplay through co-op campaign and zombies.

Unfortunately IW prefer to build from their last game, you can see why: It keeps continuity by giving games the same feel as the previous one, i.e. imagine Mw2 with the gothic tone and gore of WaW - It wouldn't feel like the same series. But at the same time this causes a cycle:

IW make game

Treyarch enhance it

IW do a new game without any of the good ideas Treyarch included

Treyarch enhance this game (but not always with the same enhancements as last time {i.e. no gibbing on BO Mp})...

so to conclude: IW didn't build MW2 from CoD 5, so when Treyarch made their next game it didn't include gore.

What Shoreyo said, but the reason they didn't include gore in muliplayer is because they couldn't do all the customization if they included gore, so they chose the customization instead. I hope that they figure out a way to do both next game, though.

I agree they really need to insert it back into the call of duty franchise i just feel like everybody's who plays cod has forgotten about those mechanics in WAW since it was so long ago. :cry:

oops, missed that out Hopefully with the new game they'll be able to do both, and more!
