Especially at the price these have been going for lately, this game is worth having. Graphics are good, physics and A.I. are good as well. The weapons are probably what impressed me the most. When you fire that last shot out of an American M1 Garand and hear that bandolere "ting" hit the ground, that's priceless. It's that kind of attention to detail that realy sets games like this apart from the others. It's all in the polish. It's very refreshing to play a FPS that's not just slapped together and released as soon as it's able to boot in the console. This one obviously has some serious man hours behind it. And the historical footage from the Military Channel is a nice touch too.
When playing through the single player campaign you go through several different assaults from different angles in the war. When I reached the american 'D-Day' assault in Normandy I got goosebumps. I know that what I experience while playing is nothing like what those men went through, but it's certainly intense.

A great game, and a great piece of entertainment.

Zzzzzz

All that I really need to say is, while me and two other friends were playing this game on multiplayer, I was beginning to fall asleep. One of my other friends actually DID fall asleep!

I found this game to be utterly slow and relatively safe in terms of what it can do--this is not a good thing. There is nothing innovate to speak of. How many times can they redo WWII video games? There's no story line, unless you enjoy sham remakes of what really happened. There really isn't much historical fact here either.

But I guess most people that play this junk are too fat and lazy to open an actual text book to learn what really happened.

Great!!!

I love games like this where you just pull out a gun and blow the bad guys away.It is far better in graphics and gameplay than games like Turning Point and Hour of Victory. Now, the AI is great for the Nazis. Friendly AI needs work which throws all the work on you while the troops just sit back until you get to a checkpoint instead of backing you up. The missions are fortunately objective based. Splitscreen co-op is poor.Single player is great.I wish you could chose the weapons you use before a sigleplayer mission. Overall is great!!

This game contineus from part1, that is what contineued from the world war this game was so great and so fun that it was like you were actually in the war, call of duty is a great honor to those who fought in world war history, but this was a great game.

All I have to say is wow. This game really impresses. The graphics are top notch as well as the sound effects. The fire fights are a pure adrenaline rush, with dirt flying everywhere, bullets zooming over your head, and your ears ringing from that grenade that just went off next to you. Basically, the action is without a better word, stunning. The enemy A.I. is great and rather than acting like perfect killing machines, they act how real people may have acted in similar situations. The atmosphere is great, you can always hear shots begin fired and explosions going off in the background. If you look in the air smoke is every where and there are planes on fire or bombs bursting. You can always hear the Germans screaming for who knows what. The action is a challenge but not so much of one that you stop playing, well except for one level. They made running and crawling seem really realistic, trudging through the dirt to avoid getting blown up is an awesome experience. There is better variety of locations here than you will see in any other WW2 game, and all are well detailed and seem to be exactly how the real thing would have been. There is a decent selection of well detailed guns that all feel great, but I would have liked more I think. The frame rate is very solid as I never had any slowdown or anything. I The vehicles sections are not as good as they could have been and are sometimes boring but I guess its a break from the typical action. The multi player is fairly solid and pretty chaotic, although sometimes it is camper heaven. Bottom Line, you will not find a better WW2 game, and this at least rivals the best of the best of FPS games in other genres as well.

The new standard in World War II gaming

Somewhat disillusioned and apathetic to the sheer density of number of World War II games being churned out each year for the consoles since PlayStation 2, I got pretty sick of the entire genre, as I imagine many people did. How many dozens of Medal of Honor games are there? I've only played Spearhead, Frontline, and Airborne. I didn't expect this one to emerge as one of the best I've played.

Having not played the first Call of Duty, I can only say that Call of Duty 2 has been the most immersive, realistic, and overall most fun with the most lasting appeal of any World War II game I've played, a place previously held only by Medal of Honor: Spearhead.

The lasting value of the game is very clearly in the multiplayer, with a small selection of creative and highly entertaining maps with spectacular designs which make it both easy and difficult to win, depending on any factor from quality of your enemies, to your own mood or condition.

Those without multiplayer miss out on a big part of the game, but the single player missions in themself are a highly entertaining part which lasts over a dozen long-winded missions guaranteed to keep you busy for hours. From the streetfighting at Stalingrad, to tank combat in Tunisia, to the visceral, bloody invasion of France and Germany, you play either a Russian Private, a British Lieutenant or a British Sergeant in the 7th Armoured Division, or an American participating in D-Day.

Action happens in a flash, and you can't always tell the difference between friend and foe in the heat of combat, but they are distinctive enough that a moment's hesitation can be the saving grace by which you kill an opponent rather than lose for killing a friend. Depending on difficulty level, you can take more hits than a man should, or be slain easier than sugar in coffee.

For multiplayer, despite the fact that each map has only two sides to be played (German vs American, German vs British, German vs Russian), their weapons are for the most part evenly balanced, or even identical, with a few tweaks and bonuses and extras on each side, which balance out in the end. While the Germans have the best and easiest to handle machine gun, the Americans have the superior sniper rifle scope, and the faster base rifle, or while the Russians have the fastest and most bullet-heavy machine guns, their sniper scopes are actually inferior to German ones, and they lack the snow camoflauge German troops have.

With some of the best graphics, most realistic physics and location damage, and grittiest single player battlefield campaigns, this is certainly one of the best World War II first person shooters yet out there.

great old shooter

Up til the release of Call of Duty 4 this was the greatest entry in the call of duty franchise. The campaign is well paced and just varied enough to avoid being repetetive. In my opinion, this is the best WWII shooter you will play on a console.

Game wouldn't play

+Single player campaing is alot of fun!
+Multiplayer is seriously addictive. You will definitely get your money's worth!
-Graphics are not up to par, but at least the game runs at a rock steady 60fps.
