World at War Duty!

It doesn't matter if you served your term or not, it doesn't matter if there's no compulsory military stage in your country and you wouldn't volunteer for service in a million years - duty calls! This is not about just any kind of military duty, because I am talking about something even I would get involved(just a note - I wouldn't volunteer in a hundred years!) - World at War duty!

I hope that Call of Duty doesn't sound like something new to you, but if you're one of the young ones who missed it so far, be sure to grab at least two of the games in the series and give them a spin, all right? You won't be wasting your time, I promise!

If you want to start your World at War duty time earlier than most other gamers, you may even get lucky, since Activision announced the Call of Duty: World ar War multiplayer beta is arriving next month, allowing its players to

"experience the game's new squad system, as well as fan favorite perks and kill streaks."

Mark Lamia, Treyarch Studio Head, says "We are excited to share a sneak peak of Call of Duty: World at War multiplayer with the community. The team has worked hard to build upon the great history and foundation of Call of Duty multiplayer and we can't wait to go online to ramp up for our November launch."

"November launch" sounds good to me, especially since anyone who's interested can easily register at CallofDuty.com to participate, and pre-ordering the game is already possible.

I don't know what others say, but here's what I think - if you don't like Call of Duty, then you'll surely hate any WW2-based shooter, and maybe even the entire FPS genre. Why? For me, and many of my friends, Call of Duty is one of those games that, despite being the first in its field, helps giving a certain genre its flavor.

If you don't agree with me, be sure to drop your comments below, but I think we should wait until the 11th of November launch, or maybe we'll get to face each other in the Beta, who knows? Boys, your World at War duty hour is drawing near, be sure not to disappoint!
