World at war 1.3 is....

...Unbelievably frustrating. Officially, these features have been adjusted/added:

* /record and /demo enabled in MP.
* Server Log File improvements, including:
      o Team Names on Kill loglines.
      o Round Win and Loss.
      o Timestamps.
      o Additional action logging (took flag, destroyed headquarters, planted bomb, etc).
* Improved sound initialization for Vista - fixes loss of sound for audio devices set higher than 16 bit 48000 Hz.
* Screenshots no longer overwrite each other.

* Tweaked autobalance on select game modes.

What this shacknews updated doesnt say, is that Treyarch "balanced" the weapons in the game. Now it is fair for people to disagree with me, but in my opinion, the weapons were balanced enough already. Automatic weapons didnt do too much damage, but enough to kill with a couple shots. However, the high point for me in COD:WAW were the powerful bolt action rifles and the m1 garand. I would charge around blasting people and stabbing them with my bayonet. After patch 1.3, i shoot someone and instead of getting a point i get shot in the face. This is not weapon "balancing" this is weapon "nerfing".

Anyone else notice this?

    That's what you get for letting a shitty company make another abortion of a game in an otherwise fantastic series.

    Honestly, the thing that annoys me the most in a game is when I blast someone in the face with a weapon and it doesn't kill them instantly. I don't care if it's a 9mm; a headshot is most likely going to blow your brains out, especially with a Garand or a Springfield.

    Depends on how much realism you want. After an extent, it's just not fun for me. I like the balance of realism cod:waw, but I don't know if i'm going to like the gun nerfing, because bolt actions are badass.

    Thats why I despise the cod series, I still cannot get over how it takes huge amounts of bullets from an m249 to kill anything, not helped by the croshair telling you you're hitting them, feels like its teasing you about how much damage it takes to kill someone, but then they pistol you and you die

    FUCKING ANNOYING! even more so when its inconsistent like that.

    Totally agreed, I take so many headshots and they don't straight out kill them.

    Hardstyle.

    It's why I only play Hardcore; the weapons actually do damage and I often will snipe with the M60 more effectively than most people can pull off with the M40 (CoD4). I played WaW for like 20 minutes before throwing it down in anger.

    Yeah I heard about hardcore, but I was already too pissed off and fustrated with the hunk of shit to even bother loading it up again, hehe.

    I bought cod4 on the xbox as well, that was a mistake. Fps. console. fustration. NOT A GOOD MIX ! Don't even know if they have hardcore servers for the consoles.

    All these frustrations could be subsided by playing Hardcore. It makes everything in the game so much better. I don't understand why people don't play it. Why would you wanna shoot someone with a full clip to kill them? Go play TF2 for that! ;P

    It depends on the server I guess. The way it has been set up determines how much health a person has. A good HC server will have it very low. One shot from a Bolt will kill and a headshot will definitely kill. However if you are not on one of these servers, then bolts can take 2 shots even on HC.
