Gameplay-World at War features a more mature theme than previous installments in the series. Swimming is introduced to the series. While in water, the player cannot sprint and can only move at half speed.[11] Flamethrowers, introduced in Call of Duty: United Offensive, appear alongside flammable environments. Tanks are also reintroduced in this edition of Call of Duty. The game is more open-ended than previous games in the series, as there are multiple ways to complete objectives.[12]A special mode called "Nacht Der Untoten (Night of the Undead)" is unlocked once the player completes the single player campaign. In it, up to four players must attempt to defend themselves from limitless waves of undead Nazi soldiers. With each kill and successful hit, players earn points that can be used to purchase new weapons and fortifications to further defend themselves. The mode can be played in single-player, splitscreen co-op, or online co-op.[13]
