Call of Duty: World at War’s sales have doubled the CoD4 sales this week in the U.K. reports GamesIndustry.biz. The game was on top of the GfK Chart-Track top 10 selling games. Between World at War, and Wrath of the Lich King, Activision Blizzard accounted 25% of the week’s sales. Gears 2 was fourth place, behind those and Sega’s Football Manager 2009.

Alot of people wonder why go back to WWII shooter after the Modern Warfare. It doesn’t seem to slow down anything for World at War. It could be because of the franchise its self.

Gears of War 2 is great in everything. Just the getting into a game may take longer than you want it to, right? Epic Games have acknowledged the problem on the offical Gears of War forums, and promised to work hard on finding a solution.

“We’re aware that some folks are experiencing longer-than-ideal wait times while using the skill-based Public matchmaking in Gears 2 multiplayer,” writes senior producer Ron Fergusson in the forum post. “We’re working on some solutions but it’s a complicated issue as there isn’t any one problem; it’s a combination of factors. Clearly, scale is one of them as we’ve had millions of successful matches played online so far, however a small percentage of players are having issues, which is unacceptable. We’re working closely with Microsoft to address the matchmaking issues, I promise you that it is our #1 priority, and we hope to have an update soon.”

Fergusson has a few ways to help you, “If you’re experiencing long delays (longer than 2 minutes) or you’re seeing your matchmaking search restarting over and over again, please try a different playlist as that indicates a possible population issue with the currently selected one,” Fergusson writes. “The problem seems to be heightened for parties of 1 and parties of 4 so please try to invite at least one friend into your party before matchmaking.” Fergusson also explains that having a full five-person party before looking for a match will ensure the shortest wait times.

Prince of Persia isn’t even out yet, and Ubisoft is already planning DLC for it. In a video interview with Gamersyde (via Eurogamer), producer Ben Mattes said that the DLC will have “significant value”, it may even play as a prequel, or a sequel.

“We certainly have plans for downloadable content, [but] we can’t really say more than that right now,” Mattes explained, “The intention is to do downloadable content that adds significant value, so I don’t think you’ll see downloadable content of a new skin or a new weapon or something like that. If we’re going to do it, it’s going to be a new story, a new experience, maybe a prequel, maybe a sequel — we’re going to do something that really offers a lot of value for the player. In terms of when: sometime next year. I’m not sure of exactly when, it’s all still in discussion.”

The story may continue through DLC, so don’t think that there wont be an actual sequel if the sales are good. Mattes explained the materials that they could support other games. He also so added about if the sales weren’t good, “things can change and we might decide, ‘OK, you know what? That’s it for Prince of Persia for now.’”

Game will be out December 2nd, be sure to pick up a copy of it.

Producer Ben Cousins said that Battlefield Heroes was “already out” as far as he was concerned. He might have jynxed the game by saying that. It was delayed for a second time, and the closed beta has been taken offline, reports Gamasutra.

The game is just undergoing the next part of development. The game has been going through alot of gameplay testing for some time now, the developers say that there are other aspects that need attention now. “You know the old saying about icebergs being 10 percent above water, and 90 percent below?” asked senior producer James Salt, “Heroes is a little like that. There’s the 10 percent game part you can see, and the hiding 90 percent is what we call the ‘backend.’”

The ‘backend’ part includes the matchmaking to the social site of a free-to-play shooter. Salt explained to Gamasutra, “The backend does a lot of things. From running the website’s features and looking after the items you have, to collecting the results from each Heroes game and matchmaking players into games.”

The beta isn’t expected to be back up till early next year. Hopefully the game will be in tip-top shape for a nice 2009 release.
