Call of Duty 5 World at War Variety Map Pack is a Shooting game available on the 360. It can be played in Singleplayer Competitive modes.

Call of Duty 5 World at War Variety Map Pack is a Shooting game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

Call of Duty 5 World at War Variety Map Pack can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Call of Duty 5 World at War Variety Map Pack can be played in a Competitive mode. Competitive Multiplayer games provide experiences where players compete against each other and the computer. Obviously lending itself to sports and team games, these competitive engagements have also dominated the shooting and fighting genres because of the direct combat and expertise involved in each. Although these games were originally played in a split screen style, more recently they are played online via services such as PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and the Nintendo Wireless Connection.

Teen Gamer review Thu, 09 Apr 2009

The Call of Duty 5 variety map pack is the first in what will probably be a recurring line of add-ons for the game. I'm generally sceptical about map packs, because they're free on the pc and it seems strange to be paying for something simply because I like to play on a console. However, I was genuinely impressed by this map pack. Although small (three standard maps and one zombie map), it was a lot of fun to play and it got me back into playing the game.

My favourite map is the Nightfire map. It's set in an area of houses, and I think it's the most fun to play. There's a sniper area on either side, with one being hard to defend but with a good view of most of the battlefield. The other sniping area only has one entrance, but only a narrow line of sight. Because there are two, and both have weaknesses, sniping doesn't become crazily overpowered like in other maps. There's also a bunch of different routes through the level, so all the different game types are pretty fun.
