Activision has started “Double XP” Week for Call of Duty: World At War for those Xbox 360 and PC users who have the Limited Collector’s Edition.

Those who qualify will have the opportunity to earn double the experience points with access to the “Double XP Officer’s Club” playlists. It will end at 11:59AM Pacific Standard Time in the U.S. on Friday, December 12th. So you have the rest of today and all of tomorrow to rack up those points!

Call of Duty: World At War is the latest game in the first-person war series and the 5th game in the franchise. For this title the setting was brought back to World War II after the huge success of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare which was set in modern times. The game recieved great reviews across the board.

It is available on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC at a price point of $60, on the Wii for $50, the PS2 for $40 and the DS for $30. It’s rated M for Mature (Intense Violence, Strong Language, Blood and Gore).

Here’s the awesome launch trailer for the game.

Activision has plans to continue supporting it’s top-selling Call of Duty: World At War game with downloadable content (DLC) via paid packs like they did with Call of Duty 4.

However World at War may not get only one pack, but up to three “when all is said and done” reports MTV.

They also said that they will be doing DLC a little differently this time, stating that “It’s not going to be what we’ve done traditionally”, leaving us to speculate on what that could be. Which could be anything from new single-player content to new weapons and maps, but all of that seems pretty par for the course so we’ll have to wait and see what they have in the wings. Considering the fantastical “zombie Nazi” mode that unlocks once you’ve beaten the game, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they did some pretty wild things for the DLC.

As far as release date, they haven’t given one, but Call of Duty 4 didn’t receive it’s first map pack until five months after it’s release.

Call of Duty: World At War releases to stores tomorrow (November 11th, 2008) and is the fifth game in the franchise and the follow-up to Infinity Ward’s phenomenal Call of Duty 4. It will be released for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, PS2 and DS.

World at War returns the franchise to the World War II theater (the Pacific Theater specifically) and is developed by Treyarch, who take the reigns from the previous developer, Infinity Ward. But as you can see in this awesome new trailer, the game has lost none of the luster that put Call of Duty 4 over the top.

Here is the laundry list of features in Call of Duty 5: World At War:

* Call of Duty 4 Technology – Built using the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War utilizes a bedrock of technology that delivers jaw-dropping visuals, while empowering players to employ elements like fire to affect the dynamics of the battlefield. Players that attempt to harness the power of new weapons, like the flamethrower, will find themselves capable of burning away environmental elements that give cover to a camouflaged enemy, leaving a charred battlefield – and their foes – in their wake
* Coordinated Assault and Support – For the first time in the franchise, Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-op, bringing fresh meaning to the No One Fights Alone mantra. Call of Duty: World at War co-op features up to four-players online, or two-player local split-screen, allowing gamers to experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. The title also incorporates traditional multiplayer components such as challenges, rankings and online stats into the co-op campaign for deeper re-playability and advanced gameplay
* New Theaters of Operation – Players fight as U.S. Marines and Russian soldiers facing enemies – some new to the Call of Duty franchise – that employ lethal new tactics and know no fear, no mercy, nor the rules of war. Epic conflicts are fought on multiple fronts, playing through the climactic battles of WWII in the grittiest, most chaotic and cinematically intense experience to date
* Innovative Multiplayer – Multiplayer builds from the success of Call of Duty delivering a persistent online experience for more squad based interaction. New development with party systems allows an intimacy with squad based combat never before seen in Call of Duty. Combined infantry and vehicle missions add a new dimension to the online warfare and offers more PERK abilities
* Cinematic Quality Graphics and Sound – Treyarch’s award-winning sound department returns with effects that add to the already immersive cinematic intensity of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare game engine

Call of Duty: World At War will release in Australia on November 12th, 2008 and in Europe on November 14th, 2008.

Call of Duty: World at War will “beat” Gears of War 2, Resistance 2 and Far Cry 2 as this Christmas’ most sought after shooting game, says developer Treyarch and publisher Activision.

And while that is quite the arrogant statement, they really have gained the clout to say so, due to the fact that their last game, Call of Duty 4, is considered by many to be the best shooter of last year. And they certainly have the high sales figures to back up that statement, not to mention the critical acclaim (that game is scored in the low 90’s out of 100 percent across the three main platforms; Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, on gamerankings with 94% for the Xbox 360 version). Call of Duty 4 is also still the most played game on Xbox Live.

Activision’s senior producer Noah Heller, insists that fans of that game will not be disappointed with the follow-up. “There’s a lot of competition this year, but I feel very strongly we have the best shooter this Christmas. There is a lot of people new to the Call of Duty franchise following COD4, and they won’t be disappointed with Call of Duty: World at War. I’m looking forward to Gears of War, Far Cry and Resistance 2, and I’m sure they will be great games, but I am confident the consumer will come back to Call of Duty.”

However, Heller admits that following Modern Warfare has been a massive challenge for the firm.

“Along with the ‘why are you returning to World War II?’ questions, we’ve been asked ‘how are you possibly going to follow up COD4?’ And the answer to that question was not to focus on the previous game, but to make our own game on our own merits and our own strengths, and show people what we can do.”

Call of Duty: World at War will be released on Wii, PlayStation 2, PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Nintendo DS on November 14th.
