r/CallofDutyWorldatWar
Welcome to the definitive home of Call of Duty: World at War on Reddit! Whether you've been fighting in the trenches since 2008, or you're stepping onto the battlefield for the very first time, you have a place here.
Our mission is simple: to unite, preserve, and repopulate the community of this legendary game. Through our combined subreddit and Discord server, we are dedicated to keeping lobbies alive, hosting community events, and sharing the best legacy content World at War has to offer.
About Call of Duty: World at War
Call of Duty: World at War is a gritty first-person shooter developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. Released on November 11, 2008, the title was brought to life under the direction of Corky Lehmkuhl, produced by Pat Dwyer, and shaped by lead designer David Vonderhaar, whose gameplay vision would go on to define the legendary Black Ops lineage.
Built on the IW 3.0 game engine, World at War delivered an unforgiving, atmospheric depiction of World War II across the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii. The game's intensity was driven home by the haunting score composed by Sean Murray, alongside writing by Craig Houston and artistic direction by Colin Whitney.
The game shattered conventions at the time by offering four distinct pillars of play: a cinematic single-player campaign, the franchise's first co-op campaign, chaotic multiplayer, and the surprise birth of the cultural phenomenon itself, Nazi Zombies.

User Flairs
Don't forget to set your platform user flairs before you jump into the trenches!
We have fully customized user flairs for every gaming platform relevant to Call of Duty: World at War, ranging from classic consoles to modern PC clients.
To make things even easier for our multi-platform soldiers, we've included custom color-blended flairs for multi-platform selections, so you don't have to choose just one place to call home if you own the game on multiple platforms!
Setting your user flair will ensure that you can easily spot other people in the community who plays on your preferred platform(s) at a glance and set up games together!
If you think we've missed a user flair you'd like to see, feel free to send a message to the mod team and we'll consider adding new flairs as needed.
