Call of Duty: World at War is set to release November 11th for both Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. After the success of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on both consoles, it should be no surprise that World at War is one of the most anticipated games of the season. Due to a public beta provided for the Xbox 360, GameBattles users were able to get a sneak preview of how competition may pan out once the final game releases.

The team currently ruling the Beta Ladder is DioXiDe. The clan is led by II MALICIOUS and hosts a supporting cast of other well-respected Call of Duty players. DioXiDe is 25 - 3, and holds a significant lead over second place Team Fear's 10-1 record. Two of Team Fear’s wins were against DioXiDe. No LiMiTz is undefeated at 10-0 and holds the third spot on the ladder. There are several other potential contenders, such as Team Vex(9-1), iShock (5-0), and Professional Supremacy (6-0), who have not played as many battles, making it tough to project where they rank among the best.

As for the game itself, you can expect a real beefed up version of Call of Duty 4. It uses the same physics engine as Modern Warfare, meaning the visuals and dynamic elements of the game will be present and continue to impress players. There are plenty of new and improved WWII-era weapons to fill out the armory and create a more diverse field of tactics used. World at War will include game modes from all previous installments of the series -- meaning all avid Call of Duty fans, past or present, will find a gametype they enjoy. Overall, it can be confidently expected that the game will follow suit of its predecessors, becoming one of the most active and engaging titles in the online gaming scene. November 11th is just around the corner, so be sure to keep an eye on both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 arenas! Ladders will be opening for registration shortly.
