CoDWaW is like an expansion of CoD4

Ok so this is my first review I've ever written and I felt the need to write one to give some insight into the game.
With that being said, I have had it since 11am the day it came out and I haven't even touched the Campaign yet. I am an online player, and CoD4 is by far the best online shooter ever. This game is excellent online as well...that is because it is CoD4 with 12 new maps, slightly different guns (slightly because the stats on the guns are almost identical to guns in CoD4) and almost identical perks.
One thing that I felt disappointing is that there are not a lot of "secret" perches or areas where you can snipe from or hide while using a fully stealth set. This, however, is not terrible because it is more fair for newer players who don't know the secret to jumping on top of the buildings in Crossfire or Overgrown in Cod4.
One of the new aspects that has had mixed feelings are the vehicles. Well let me tell you, I find them a lot of fun. I think they are a little OP considering you can shoot the main gun, use the turret and run people over (with lead foot perk)and will likely get a handful of kills before someone finally blows you up (it takes like 5 explosive attacks to actually destroy it).
So if you loved CoD4 and are bored of constantly playing Overgrown over and over again, now you have Seelow (its a very similar map, including a barn and everything).
One last note for everyone who is "disappointed" about this being CoD5... it is not in fact a sequel or even the 5th one. CoD4 is made by Infinity Ward and they will be producing a sequel to Modern Warfare sometime next year. This game is produced by Trey Arch and they built it around the platform of Modern Warfare. Keep that in mind when deciding about whether it meets your expectations or not.
