A version of the upcoming PC title (as opposed to the previous console Call of Duty title, which was completely different from the PC original), Call of Duty 2 lets players experience four individual soldier stories as they overcome insurmountable odds in multiple campaigns. Players have the freedom to follow each of the four storylines through for the ultimate character-driven experience, or they can engage in the historic battles chronologically for quick hitting action.

CoD 2 ROCKS!
- Pros: This game is very accurate and has helped me through many WW2 tests in school. The weapons and vehicles are very true to life. Best shooter I have owned and is WAY better than any Medal of Honor game.
- Cons: Cannot drive vehicles but that is accurate since not many soilders drove vehicles. Only European theater.
- Other Thoughts: If your a WW2 geek or a first person shooter fan this is the game to own!
COD2 - A Great Classic!
- Pros: Even in 2009, this is still a great game! The graphics, animation and sound are great, almost as good as the other games in the COD series, which was a pleasant surprise since this was an Xbox 360 launch game. The storyline is very in-depth and based on actual events of World War 2, and the cut scenes between missions are informative. The weapons and vehicles are true to the time period, and there are some very large scale, action packed battles. Surprisingly, there are still quite a few people playing this online. You get your typical choices when playing an online shooter: ranked or unranked, deathmatch, team deathmatch, and some objective games. I haven't experienced any lag online. I'm an average skilled gamer, and the balance between campaign difficulty while still being a lot of fun is perfect.
- Cons: There's a couple cons, all minor. There's a very low tolerance for friendly fire. If you accidentally hit a friendly with even one stray bullet, you revert to your last checkpoint. While that does add some realism, sometimes the AI will run through your line of fire, but you're the one penalized. Some of the in-game dialogue is a bit repetitive. There's only maybe a dozen phrases you hear during battles and they're repeated over and over. I don't see any cons in online play, however people who like to review pages and pages of statistics won't find that here. In that regard, this game is kept more simple than a lot of newer shooting games.
- Other Thoughts: I had never played this game prior to buying it here from Newegg, but I'm a fan of the other Call of Duty games. I figured since it was cheap and all the achievements were for the single player campaign, I'd give it a try. I love this game and it has exceeded my expectations. Any gamer who's a fan of WWII history will enjoy this game. And while there's not a huge selection of high-tech guns, this should be a fun game for anyone who just likes shooting games. Don't think that just because it's an older game that it's not awesome, because it is! It's a lot of fun, and that's what it's all about!

The #1 WWII shooter development team returns with an amazing new experience: Developed by Infinity Ward, creators of the award-winning Call of Duty. All-new, unprecedented enhancements from stunningly realistic graphics to seamless gameplay, thanks to the revolutionary COD2 engine, groundbreaking AI, and choice-based gameplay innovations. Beautifully rendered snow, rain, fog, and smoke, combined with dynamic lighting and shadows, make this the most intense WWII shooter yet.
New conflicts and enemies to face: Call of Duty 2 brings you bigger battles, with more tanks, troops, and explosions on-screen, and bigger scope, with a wide range of locales and environments across the European Theater. Fight "The Desert Fox" across the scorching sands of North Africa as wave upon wave of tanks clash in the desert. Use rocket-propelled grappling hooks alongside your Army Ranger squad to storm and scale the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc against a relentless German counterassault, and slog through urban chaos as a tank hunter in war-torn Russia.
Rely on your squad as never before: The dozens of Allied soldiers surrounding you are fully aware of the changing situations around them, and will let you know using an all-new, context-sensitive battle chatter system. They will draw enemy fire, lay down cover for you, use foxholes and moving tanks for cover, and warn you of incoming enemy troops and hostile fire.
Choice-based gameplay: Play through missions in the order you see fit. Will you decide to play first as a sniper or as a tank commander? It's your call. Open-ended battlefields allow you to individualize your tactics and choose the order in which you complete your objectives.
Multiplayer Mayhem: Go online for intense Axis vs. Allies team-based multiplayer action, building on the hugely popular Call of Duty multiplayer modes. |
