Call of Duty: World at War gets dated, Michael Phelps will finally get his copy

Remember the advanced copy of Call of Duty: World at War that über Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps received during his interview with the CBS Early Show? It looks like Phelps finally got a date as to when he’ll receive a working copy of the FPS. According to GameSpot, World at War is arriving on November 11 for the PC, PS2, PS3, DS, and Wii

If you would recall, Phelps was handed a PS3 copy of World at War, only to find out that an IOU card was enclosed since the game isn’t finished yet. Treyarch, the developer, did promise that Phelps will get the first disc off the production line.

Interestingly, GameSpot also revealed that there was no mention of the World at War version for the PS2. As you may recall, the PS2 is still the best-selling console to date. So while its recent releases have been shovelware, companies simply cannot ignore the console’s massive user base.

Would Call of Duty: World at War be as good as its predecessor? Would Michael Phelps play this next Call of Duty game? Since the upcoming FPS isn’t developed by Infinity Ward, the series’ creator, there’s a chance it won’t be as good. This however doesn’t mean the game will suck eggs. Still, World at War is up for a fight when all the good shooters crawl out of the woodwork when the holiday season approaches.
