Activision have formally announced Call of Duty: World at War:

Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-operative play, bringing fresh meaning to the "No One Fights Alone" mantra with up to four-players online for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, or two-player local split-screen on consoles. Nintendo Wii will also support a unique co-op mode for two players. For the first time ever players will experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. The co-op campaign allows players to rank up and unlock perks in competitive multiplayer by completing challenges and earning experience points, adding continuous re-playability and team-based gameplay.

Whether playing competitively or cooperatively – if players are online with Call of Duty: World at War – they will always gain experience points. Based on a player's experience rank and rank of the player's friends, Call of Duty: World at War will scale dynamically to provide a deeper level of challenge.

Hopefully co-op will also exist for LAN play as well. Pretty cool news. Check out our game page for some screenshots and the rest of the available info.

wow! looks like one company is actually listening to the what FPS gammers want!

Yeh, I guess we should think of the next feature we really want and start asking about it now so in ten years it'll start getting included :)

I bet it will be online only like GTA4, is there any real reason they left out LAN besides $$$$, but at least it's there I guess.

Maybe off topic but how long do you think before Microsoft start charging PC gamers to access multiplayer on Live?

Trog, how about decent server software? :)
