What do you mean by that?

Pre-selected kits that have different roles which promote teamplay to win, i.e.: Medic, Lieutenant, Engineer, etc.  All have different "special abilities" as well as limitations, but when the classes work together - the MP experience and ability to win increase exponentially.

 

Class systems work best (imo) in Objective Based Gametypes, this was implemented in Return to Castle Wolfenstein which pretty much set the bar, subsequent titles have now utilized that principle.

 

It was evident in Call of Duty 3, but they weren't balanced as well and Achievements got in the way - which is why it never really 100% took hold of teamplay.  Grey Matter Interactive developed RTCW, that team merged with Treyarch Studios and contributed to COD3 - which is where that aspect came from. 

Youve raised some good points here Chef.  This is a topic worthy of debate.

I'd love to see the classes managed in a way which promotes teamplay.  I'd also like to see MP achievements, statistics and leaderboards largely abandoned.  The overkill of stats in COD4 made player so selfish that teamplay, outside of a clan, virtually impossible.  Sometimes even people within your clan got a bit selfish when a challenge was pending.

To Chefs: I haven't looked around the forums a lot for answers or anything but my question to you is (if you know) what will the ranking system be like? EX. Levels, prestiges ect.? Or possibly true skill like call of duty 3(the good ol' days)?

I think he said it will be similar to COD4's ranking system.

Yeah he said that the lobbies and ranking systems will be similar to Call of Duty 4 so you can expect prestieges, challenges ect.

Will all of the game modes from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare carry over to Call of Duty: World at War?

One thing bugs me. Okay, maybe they did have aerial drones in WWII but wouldn't it have been more realistic to just send in a catalina plane or something instead of some UAV like device? The plane could still function like the UAV drone, updating enemy positions but this just seems to be a little over the top IMO.

Great job on the post info by the OP too. :D

FFA, TDM, HQ, CTF, War, BA, and HC S&D are all I need for a party.  Sabotage can take a walk along with Domination for all I care.

I have to agree with Chef. The best thing about COD3 was the team play.  The imbalance actually added to the team play - one person relying on another.  It was this that created the best on-line community ever - COD3 - as well as the most fun on-line game ever.  The pre-set kits forced every one to use strategy and to improve their gaming skills.  It put an end to run-n-gun play; COD4 brought run-n-gun back and the community disbanded.  I am looking forward to CODWaW and I am hoping that the on-line difficulty level of COD3 will return in CODWaW.
