Possibly the Greatest War Games Ever Made!

If you've played it, then you know. If you haven't, give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Think of the HBO series Band of Brothers. Or the movies Saving Private Ryan and Enemy at the Gates. Single player and multi-player modes are equally excellent.

For Mac users - this Edition is Not the Version for the Mac

Amazon made a mistake and put down that this version is for the Macintosh OS X operating system in addition to Windows. That is not the case. Activision does not release games on the MAC platform. They work with other, third party companies to do so. Aspyr is the company that makes Call of Duty on the Mac. Search for games by Aspyr and you'll find it there.

Just an FYI so Mac users don't buy the wrong game.

Great, enthralling and tons of fun!

Call of Duty is a great WWII shooter plus historically accurate. The most important thing for me was that is you can replay this game so many times before it becomes boring. Im still playing the campaign, and im still having fun with it. You get more then what you pay for. With amazing battlefields, pretty good graphics and good in battle action, call of duty could be on its way to the top of all WWII shooters. The online play is good although its hard to play with your friends since its almost impossible to tell were your friends are so you must communicate over the phone to make sure your in the same room. All together this is a great game, and i will be playing it for a long time to come. It is certanly more realistic the MOH and its more fun. This game is so addicting it has me on the edge of my seat for COD 2!

The previous veiwer stated that this game is possibly the best war game ever. I appreciate the over-exaggeration in attempt to make the wasted hours sound useful because he played "Possibly the Greatest War Games Ever Made!" For its time, possibly put anyone who is in the KNOw realizes that MoH or medal of honor allied assault far surpassed Call of Duty way before its time. Alright, maybe not that long ago. But i can recall when liberating the PoW camp (AND NOT THE COD KNOCK OFF BUT THE LAST LEVEL OF MOHAA)a tear in my ear and a song in my hear as i gassed the germans with their own poison gas and sent the boys in the camp home. CoD single player is OK. Its entertaining the 1st time, repetetive the 2nd time, and well, on the third time you want to shoot yourself Or put your head through the monitor. THE REASON the game is good is the multiplayer if you dont have a high speed connection i woudnt waste the 40 bux + s & h. However, this game is getting older now and many of the proffesional gamers have left, leaving inexpearienced noobs grovelling for 10 points. The proffesional gamers easily scor between 30-60 a game. NOW thats just sad. Both COD multiplayer onlines are in their death throws but nontheless its fun. If u got a high speed connection, check it out.

Fun Game

I'm still new to the game, but my impression so far is that is an excellent FPS game. However, Counter Strike-Source is the KING!

Awesome, BUT...

Call OF Duty and it's Expansion (United Offensive) are truly great games... if you've never seen a war movie in your life. It has GREAT effects, low hardware requierments, great gameplay... but the story seems like it's pieced together from WW2 movies like "Saving Private Ryan" and "Enemy at the Gates". It seems like i've played this game before. Never-the-less, as far as WW2 games go, this one is sure one of the better ones.

A Great game for FPS and WWII buffs

The endless ammo problem

First of all let me just say that I have both this game and the Medal of Honor war chest. These are two fantastic FPS in the WWII campaign where allied forces are supposed to kick ass. On to COD now.

1 - Plot line: It is interesting to play 3 different campaigns, with the yanks, the brits and the soviets. However, you shift back and forth in the campaigns, making you lose track of where, in history, you are. If you were to follow a single squad from all the way until the fall of Berlin, in 3 different story lines that you could choose from, it would be more envolving. Nevertheless, this games wins to MOH in this respect.

2 - The endless ammo problem. Now, can somebody tell the developers of these games that even MG42 needed reloading at some point? This is crucial when you want to attack a german position that is held by MG42 since you either hit the guy behind the gun with a single shot or you'll be minced meat trying to do it. This was somewhat fixed in the expansion pack (the Bastogne campaign) but only on your side: the german MG42 keep pounding while you have to reload yours. A bit unfair...

3- The graphics: simply amazing. Good quality renderings of the buildings, explosions, soldiers, tanks. Very good quality.

If you enjoyed MOH, you'll enjoy this a lot more!

A solid WW II 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!
