  Blog > Tour Of The Site

Since the launch of the Call of Duty: WaW HQ, soldiers on leave from the front have worked hard here to establish a strong and lasting community. With the multiple features available on the site, we want to be sure that fresh recruits and veterans alike understand each of these features offered.

If you haven’t already, those not yet enlisted should register here to create a portfolio in the community, or register later by visiting the upper right corner of the site and clicking Sign Up Today! After filling out some basic profile information and creating a unique avatar, you’ll have complete access to the site.

You’ll notice that there are five tabs to look through within the Call of Duty: WaW HQ -

While creating your avatar, you probably noticed that many of the customizable options were locked from use. As you obtain higher ranks, more customization options become available. Ranking up requires points, and points are acquired through the completion of missions.

Missions offer various amounts of points and objectives range from quizzes testing your World War 2 knowledge, answering polls, and completing your Call of Duty: WaW HQ profile on the site. As you earn more points, you rise in rank, from the initiate’s Private ranking up to the 21st rank of General.

Other missions reward you with badges instead of points, like the Joint Service Commendation Medal awarded for linking your game account to your codwaw.com account. Your avatar can proudly display up to six earned badges.

A favorite amongst the community, the Stats tab on first visit provides easy to follow instructions on how to link up your Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 game account to your profile at Headquarters.

Once linked, you’ll not only gain claim to the Joint Service Commendation Medal, but your own personal Call of Duty: WaW HQ Dossier will open up in your profile. The Dossier presents you with an incredibly in-depth look at your game character’s stats, detailing accuracy and kill count for every available weapon, data such as wins/losses/deaths count, and a list of your completed Challenges.

You can also expand your stats window for even more personalized information about your gaming experience.

• My Battle Career – Compare statistics lets you view and compare 15 of your personal stats to the community as a whole. You can also look at your weapon usage and basic information about recent online matches.
• Compare Stats – Get your friends involved with the Call of Duty: WaW HQ and order them to link up their accounts. Directly compare your stats with them to see who’s the stronger soldier.
• Matches – View every statistic imaginable about previous matches, including the Killshot Bodymap that visually highlights your kill shots during the selected match, as well as an overhead view of each map detailing the exact location of your deaths in that match, or the deaths of all players.
• Leaderboards – Sort listings of the most prominent soldiers categorized by XP, Time Played, Score, Kills, Deaths, Kills/Death Ratio, Kills Per Minute, Wins, and Headshots.
• Weapons – View your top weapon usage categorized by Kills, Shots, Hits, Headshots, Accuracy, and Shot/Kill Ratio.

Eager soldiers should frequent the Intel tab for the latest official Call of Duty: World at War news, Developer Blogs, and PC Updates. And, of course, your favorite Community Blog.

Where the heart of the community lies. Several forums ranging from Call of Duty: World at War talk to Technical Support, Site Feedback/Suggestions, and Off Topic forums. Your avatar will be displayed with your posts and a wealth of information exists along with helpful community members willing to answer any questions you may have.

For everything Call of Duty: World at War related, visit the Reconnaissance tab to download videos, podcasts, screenshots, 3D screenshots, concept art, and wallpapers. As you rise in the ranks here at the Call of Duty: WaW HQ, more exclusive media content will become available to you.

We welcome and encourage all of you to explore the site and the features included. It’s important to us that you feel comfortable here and begin to familiarize yourself with the wonderful community everyone has helped to create.

We’d also like to point you to the ***Newbies Guide to the Forums*** post in the Barracks for an even deeper look at some of the more specific questions you may have regarding the site.

Thanks for stopping by and happy hunting!
