Call of Duty World at War has the best story of any game because it’s a real war. Halo/Modern Warfare were not real wars. You take turns playing as Private C. Miller (American) and Dimitri Petrenko (Russian). As Miller you fight the Japanese from Makin Island to Okinawa and as Dimitri you fight the Germans from Stalingrad to Berlin. The game has many areas that you fight in. The Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Okinawa, Battle of Berlin are all shown. In the end you get a first person view of planting the Russian flag and removing the Nazi flag.
I do have a complaint though, I hate the tank level. The tank is hard to control and half the time I didn’t know what was shooting me. The game is long, fun, epic, and I never get tired of the final battle in Berlin. It’s also fun in the next to last level when you’re low on supply’s but you (Miller) still storm Shuri Castle and win the war. The game features lots of environments, desert airfields, rainforests, grasslands with so much rain you can hardly see, destroyed cities, the ocean, and more. WARNING: this has the strongest language of any Call of Duty game AND the most blood and gore. You can censor these by going under options.
