Play Call of Duty: World at War on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Call of Duty: World at War on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

🕹 Editor's notes
Are shooting games your forte? If yes, Call of Duty: World at War will help challenge and broaden your expertise. It is the fifth game in the Call of Duty game series, developed by Treyarch and initially released in 2008.
The game focuses on first-person multiplayer warfare and has been famous for introducing the Black Ops storyline. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 3.
Gameplay And Features
With a background based on World War II, this game takes players back to the times when physical violence was the only known way to right the wrongs. But in the game, you’re just a warrior playing for fun while exploring the past.
Because of its somewhat violent and mature content, World at War emerged as a hype among players who like gory accents in their video games. Unlike its earlier versions, the game is open-ended; anything can determine a change in the outcome. However, you still have AI teammates to assist you throughout.
The story begins at Makin island and will stretch as you complete missions and win battles. There are six multiplayer options and also cooperative gameplay that help players split screen.
An exciting feature of this game is the minigame Nazi Zombies, where players cooperate to fend off zombie attacks. It also features map packs with three extra Nazi Zombies maps, which you can download after purchasing online.
Should You Play It?
World at War is close to the hearts of most millennial gamers. Not many can forget the enthusiasm and thrill that it provided then. So, if you’re new to this game and love shooting, just go ahead!
Today, the game may not be on par with the current graphics standards, and many can well replace it. But there’s no better shooter game than Call of Duty to experience the thrill of a war game that is over a decade old.
