MAPS

Once again there are 3 maps available to play and all 3 are very solid affairs.  My personal favourite is Makin set in a seaside village at night; you’ll fight on the beach and even in the shallows of the Pacific as you can manoeuvre underneath and around the bamboo huts perched on the shoreline.  All  three maps feature indoor areas for intense close quarters action as well as high perches for sniping and ranged combat.  The other 2 maps are Castle; set in a Japanese temple environment and Roundhouse; set in the European Theater and utilises one of COD: WAW’s new features, tanks.  There are two tanks on the map which can be populated by two players; one driving and shooting whilst the other mans the turret MG.  As is always online the turret gunner may mow down a few but is then an easy kill for any adversary from behind or on the flank.
