BEST FPS EVER! Forget medal of honor!

This game is amazing. It has good graphics and great gameplay. I like it a lot better than medal of honor because it is just more realistic. in moh you blast through a whole panzer division on your own, in COD it is more realistic because you have squad members with you and the objectives are more realistic.(though you still kill an insane amount of enemies for one guy).Its great because its challenging enought to be fun but not so much that youre stuck playing the same level over and over forever.(like in MOH) The multiplayer is also very good, though you need to beat the campain a few times because some of the online players are freaks they are so good.also when youre playing multiplayer you need to stick to it for a while and find your little niche(charging with a submaching gun, sniping with a sniper or blasting away with an M1)

The reviewer who gave this 3 stars based on the sound in the demo is NUTS! Everyone knows that demo's don't necessarily include all ambient sound and sound features in the full release! That's why they call it a demo brother!

Dudes, anyone who played the demo knows that this is the next WW2 shooter to buy. I went and sold a bunch of older PC games just to make sure that this one is paid off.

THIS WILL BE THE MOHAA KILLER - DO YOU HEAR ME SOLDIER!

Highly Disappointed

I was highly disappointed in Call of Duty. After all the hype, I expected a flawless gaming experience. However, the squad mates get in the way and refuse to move sometimes, and in my opinion they hamper the single player experience. The easiest level is ridiculously easy, and the difficult level is insanely difficult. Graphics were ok, but there was the occasional enemy soldier poking through the brick wall for all to see.In summary, I know the squad additions were supposed to take this game to the next level; however, they actually made the whole genre regress. Don't waste your money or time, albeit you'll only be wasting a very few hours as the game is short, short, short...

Better Single & Multi-Play than Medal of Honor

These developers continue to amaze me. Great sound work, great single player levels and even better multiplayer matches. I can hardly wait for expansions to this, the best FPS out there... until HL2 and DOOM3 hits shelves ;) You'll find me online as Spanky Freekill. Come get some!

Highly Entertaining And Lots Of Fun

The closest game I've played to Call of Duty was Medal of Honor. Though I liked Medal of Honor a lot, Call of Duty made me feel like I was really in the game. Additionally, one of the biggest annoyances with Medal of Honor is if you're in a mission with a squad and you lose too many men, the mission ends and you fail. The only thing to do is reload your last save game. In Call of Duty, if the same thing happens, your fallen comrades get revitalized. Now this is obviously unrealistic, however from a gamers point of view, it eliminates the frustration of not protecting your squadmates. After all, Call of Duty is a first person shooter, not an RTS. Also, Call of Duty automatically saves your game at various points, a real relief since you can easily forget to save before critical firefights. At the lowest difficulty, it's certainly beatable over a weekend. "Normal" difficulty would be more "realistic". Call of Duty is near perfection and great for those who are looking for a game with the look and feel of squad-based combat without being online.

as if it were a movie!

Overall, I would not recommend this game, though it certainly has fun parts.
The good points: Good graphics, sound, and feel. You really feel at times like you are in the middle of a huge battle. Fun and innovative scenarios, such as riding along in the back of a truck shooting at other cars. Great gun battles throughout.

The bad points: Extremely scripted, to the point of absurdity considering what is possible nowadays in video games. The makers of the game have planned out pretty much every step of the game, giving you little control of how to accomplish your objectives. It may look like you are in a big city, but you are really in a tunnel, and the game never lets you get more than a few steps away from the path it wants you to follow.
The bad guys pop out at what I would call trigger points--in other words, they don't exist until you step over some magical point, and then they are everywhere. Very annoying. This means that you can't really plan ahead or watch out for movement ahead of you, because there won't be any enemies until you reach the magical point--then they appear basically out of nowhere.
Another thing I hated was that there were a number of places where the enemies would keep coming ad infinitum until you accomplished some specific objective.
Lots of other unrealistic things too, such as the recurring theme of the exact weapon you need for some task being conveniently left in exactly the place you need it. And conversely whereas you could normally pick up weapons from dead people, there is a part in the Russian campaign where you can't pick up any weapons at all. So my biggest complaint is that the game doesn't let you choose your own strategy at all. You have to follow the script to the letter.
Of course this does not help make the game very replayable. Another thing that hurts replayability is that the enemies always appear in exactly the same places each time you play a level, so it's just a matter of memorizing their locations.
For a game that is going for a realism effect, it is suprising that it adopted some cliches such as letting the player get shot multiple times without suffering any loss of control. Another cliche is the silly medical kits you find everywhere to restore your health.
Finally, the game is very short. I finished it in a weekend, which for me is very fast.
If you just want something fun for one weekend, its pretty fun. But if you want a keeper, look elsewhere.
The best first person shooter I've played is Deus Ex (not Invisible War).

Ho Humm

Well, I just finished Call of duty and although it was a decent game, I'm not sure why there is so much hype. I mean, the game points the way for you. I felt like I was in a very narrow box..

The best part about playing is when you shoot, you can see feedback of where your bullets land: like on the walls behind the soldiers you are shooting at.

The game goes very quick and doesn't take long to finish at all. I played it twice just to be sure I didn't miss anything. I think WW2 shooters are played out and I can't wait for the release of Deus Ex 2!

Be seeing you

WOW! This game has it all:
- super smart AI - the men take cover when under attack and wait to advance until you're in a group, covering doors and open areas. Really makes you feel part of a team and the bad guys do the same. Some of those little buggers are hard to get!
- the battlefield scenery is excellent, although I can't attest to how realistic it is (seems so from photo's I've seen)
- at times it seems your mission is hopeless and you're lost. Now that's getting a message across!
- there's lot's of variation: you drive tanks, lean out of car windows to pick off baddies, you rush certain situations with guns blazing and crawl up to others to pick them off with a sniper rifle. Oh - and sometimes you have no gun so you just run for cover!

The only complaint I have is that the game ends! It's absolutely brilliant and I will be playing it again!

Happy shopping

A solid WW2 FPS

I bought this game after seeing all the hype of it's successor COD2. I have periods that come and go where I want to play a good FPS that is usually based on WW2.

I was, and am, still a big fan of Hidden and Dangerous2 which was not only an excellent single player game, but had a fun multiplayer. Alas, in the recent year or so the numbers have dwindeled except for the early hours since the game was very popular in Europe.

So I bought this game with high hopes to be the replacement for H&D2. Well, I have to say that it has really met my hopes and expectations. The action is very intense, and the sounds of the various weapons are very accurate(except the .45 pistol, IMHO)

It's good to see a game where the MG 42 both sounds and fires like it really did.

You really get a feeling that you are not the star of the show, but just another grunt in the thick of the war. There are random shellings that could possibly kill you even though you have defeated the enemy that was around you. The game does a great job at making you feel like you are there, and the actions of your fellow soldiers doesn't feel artificial. Some will charge in and shoot the enemy, possibly getting mowed down. Others will take up a defensive position, while others try to guard your flanks. (or rears, lol)

The multiplayer is the best I've experienced in a WW2 shooter thus far. The servers are packed with tons of people that you can join in with for deathmatch, team deathmatch, and a bunch of other styles of play.

Graphically, the game really shines. The only gripe I have is that you can't really damage your surroundings. I want to be able to shoot out lights, blow down doors, and take a chunk out of a building with a panzerfaust. Other than this, there are no complaints.

Even though it's successor is now on the scene, please don't think this is a second rate game. It is a great game, and it is a great deal of fun for the money. The current price is sweet!
