GETTING STARTED

After successfully downloading and then launching the PC Beta, you will be greeted with
the Online Profile creation screen.

From here you create your personal profile name and begin your journey into Call of
Duty: World at War. After creating a profile, you will be brought to the Multiplayer
Main Menu:

MAIN MENU

This is your main hub to find or start a game server, customize your Create A Class,
configure your game options, manage your friends, and view your Rank & Challenges.

CONFIGURING OPTIONS

The Options menu is where the most common configuration items for the game can be
set to your preference.

Call of Duty: World at War PC Beta offers a multitude of configurations aimed at
perfecting your personal preferences. Alongside these choices come two new features:

You can modify the Player Name Indicator under Multiplayer Options. This changes how
players’ names are shown in-game. This is a fun option to change once you get familiar
with game, or play with the same group of friends frequently.

You can also configure different sound options in the game. Clicking Sound will take
you to a sub-menu where you can independently adjust the volume of Voice, Music,
Sound Effects, Cinematics, (not used in Beta), and the overall Master Volume of the
game.

GATHERING FRIENDS

Call of Duty: World at War introduces the concept of Friends to the PC world - usually a
console-specific feature. To get started, click on Friends from the Main Menu, and then
click on Manage Friends. This will bring you to the menu below:

To invite a player to be your friend, click the Add button in the lower left hand corner of
the screen. You will be prompted to enter the name of your friend’s Profile Name, and
then send your friend request to the specified player.

When someone sends you a friend request, you will see a notification appear on the right
side of this screen. Highlight the name and click Accept if you want this person to be
your friend. Easy as pie.

Call of Duty: World at War also introduces Game Invites, which allow you to invite a
friend to play on your Multiplayer server, or join your CO-OP lobby. To access and
accept Game Invites, choose an invite from the list in the GAME INVITES menu and
click Accept Game Invite to instantly be connected to your friend’s game.
