Ok,first I loaded the demo,then after I picked myself up off of the floor I rubbed my eyes,I thought I had gone back in time to the war!People,this game is awesome!!I bought the game and glad I did! I am not a big game player,but this game has me hooked.The graphics are incredable!!If you have a good video card,you can crank up the options in the game for wild scenes.I have a 256 mb video card,the game was so realistic,I had to get a first aid kit out.I felt like I was shot!Buy this game,you won't be dissapointed!By the way,you just have to try the multiplayer mode! To fight in teams against other people across the world is totaly addicting!I hid the "honey" do list my wife gave me!!Bye bye,I am off to COD multiplayer....see you there!!

Very Good Realism in some of the sounds, graphics and the way some of the people go down (Having fought in a more recent war myself)but without the real pain and horror. It's a great way to vent after rush hour traffic.
The only part I didn't like was the truck chase, because my heart will give out one day from the difficulty (No matter what level setting)
The only thing I would change would be that once you have completed all of the games, you should have a choice as to which level you would like to play each scene at. I would like to play the Russian forces at more difficult levels, but I can't get past the doggone truck fight on the regularlevel.
This game could be even more graphic than what it portrays, but as a veteran I feel that it would only serve to glorify the real thing to teens that haven't been in a real war. When they found out the truth, they may become extremely disappointed about war as a means of solving national conflicts. The anti war euphimisms posted by the game mean nothing to a teenager who's hormones are gone amiss. It's a nice touch for the older ones like myself though.

Exciting, albeit somewhat mindless, combat...

As far as environment goes, the graphics and sounds are pretty amazing, and the feeling of being in battle, with all of the little details, is incredible. However, as a "squad" tactics game, I found the game to be a bit disappointing. I guess that I'm used to games like Operation Flashpoint and Ghost Recon, where you have real coordination with your squadmates. One really disappointing thing for me in this game is when someone in your squad is killed, another soldier immediately comes up from behind and replaces him. Also, it seems like all your squadmates are good for are laying down suppressive fire and killing enemy that are out in the open. Half the time, they just hold a line and fire aimlessly while waiting for you to kill all of the tough targets. Overall, if you're looking to pass the time with a game with excellent effects and somewhat arcade-style action, then I would highly recommend this game. If you're looking for "real" squad tactics, I'd say go with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series.

Think WW2 Shooter's are overused? Think again! Awesome game.

This game is awesome! Both of the game's two components--single player and multi-player--play fabulously. The single-player campaign is incredible: the enemy AI is very intelligent, as is your friendly AI. They dodge, shoot, and lay down suppressive fire with fluid motion. If you have this game, but have only played the multi-player because you don't like single-player or just haven't played it yet-prepare to be blown away. Real-time historical battles coupled with outstanding artificial intelligence make the single-player experience a joy to play. The massive battles...as a Soviet soldier, you struggle, unarmed up a slope behind the man in front of you (Soviets were to poor to arm all their men...they were supposed to pick up their pointman's gunwhen they died). He's taken down by a barrage of nazi artillery fire and you are flown to the ground, stunned. You pick up his rifle, line up your iron sights, and shoot the nazi artillery-fire-er in the head. You reach the top of the slope, turn around, and...you see thousands of Soviet men joining you in the onslaught. Fabulous experience. The multiplay is awesome, but plays mostly like other fps's in that category. Still a joy to play. The added factor of being able to "call votes" is very cool and innovative. If you are a fan of first-person-shooters, buy this game. From the first-rate graphics to the great sound quality to the unbelievably brilliant AI concepts, this game is a blast to play.

Excellent, fairly realistic first person shooter game

Outstanding graphics, sounds, voices. For single player, scenery and missions, make you relive moments of history, incidentally captured in war movies, almost makes one feel like a part of band of brothers from Normandy, Carentan scenarios to Chateu/prison camps infiltration missions (dirty dozen anyone?). Holding a bridge with Brits agains heavy enemy attacks with tanks and artillery, almost a familiar scene (Saving Private Ryan), albeit you get to do it with SAS. From the outset Stalingrad battles resemble War Torn scenery of Enemy At the Gates. Tank Battle drive to outskirts of Warsaw and the culminating taking of Reichstarg building are just the few of the sweet spots, along with battling enemy artillery, tanks, airplanes, bunkers, machine gun enplacements and snipers, deservedly gives this game 5 stars.
Multiplayer: Having played only team death matches and search and destroy scenarios, this is addictive with 70 people on the server 35 fighting for each side, epic battles in the ruins of stalingrad, or in the rail yards of war torn Warsaw, or the green villages of Normandy, replay each time with different results.
Overall Grade 5 stars

an epic game

before this was released i was left with mundane titles like Medal of Honour-Rising Sun a good game but not a great game.I Implore you to buy this you play as a Amercian soldier helping with the D-Day landings on Omaha beach and as a Russian soldier experience the awe inspiring madness and thrill of the battle of stalingrad.

Buy this game or you will be left in the shadow of a giant game i bought it and you will as well

The most realistic game play

This is a living legend so to speak. With its amazing gameplay, to the near realistic actions this game blows others away. The best part and most realistic is when you incounter an exploding shell and get shell-shock which i was not expecting. A great first-person-shooter that puts the trueness of D-Day and WWII, i was sweating in one of the levels at every turn hoping there were no "Jerries" around the corner. The best game of the year and the best first-person-shooter ever.

New? No, Fun? You bet

Although theres nothing really new about this game, no new technologies, no new styles of gameplay, nothing to set it apart from the rest of the games in terms of gameplay, it is incredibly fun. You start out battling the germans from the west in the famous Operation Overlord. You later fight from the east as part of the Russian campaign. Although the models and characters look inaccurate, even cartoonish, you still are introduced into World War 2 in a way few games have been able to. You storm beaches and clear houses while mounted machine guns blaze away and the ground around you flies apart after being pelted with german gunfire. Its an incredible feeling to see how you and hundreds of others storm beaches and get a better understanding of how hellish war was.

You go from single person special ops missions to beach stormings which enables you to get a great feeling of the whole war. Storming beaches and heavily defended areas is quite an experience. Looking up to see tracer fire all over while stuka bombers strafe by almost makes you feel as if your there. The music makes it almost cinematic. The timing and choice of music was incredible. This can all be shown in the 'Red square charge' and the beach landing to retake stalingrad. Magnificent. And this is just the single-player! The single-player even has replay values because if you do play those two missions, you'll want to experience them over and over.

Best Russian Front shooter

I have to admit that it is the best rendition of the Russian Front I have ever played. It has Stalingrad, Warsaw and Berlin. Soon they are going to make an add on including the Battle of the Bulge, Battle for Sicily and Battle of Kursk. Also the Tank battle at the end of the game is pretty cool. The game also includes the Rising of the Flag on the Reichstag.

HOOYAH!

Even better then Medal of Honor, you play a soldier from three different countries in three different enviroments, forest, jungle, and city. You play as an American, British, and Russian and use the weapons of that particular country. I found it very exciting to play and stayed up through the night to complete it. Kudos to Activision for making the game. How about making a WW2 tank game like this also?
