Call of Duty Review for U

A high powered PC with a superior graphics card with at least 256K onboard is essential for seamless gameplay and superior graphics. The story is somewhat laborious when the player's role is in the Russian Army even with it's humerous dialogue. When American, the story line follows familiar historical events. All in all, Call of Duty offers good graphics and rich content worthy of it's reduced price.

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.

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!

COD is a great game

I recently (May 2006) bought Call of Duty + United Offensive Deluxe set for $30.00. I have played Battlefield 1942 + Road to Rome and Special Weapons for over a year. I recently also acquired Vietnam Redux and have enjoyed that - (although the constant repetitive lines such as: "Draw back, we're taking hits!" gets a bit annoying after awhile). I only play offline and I don't want foul language or extreme gore. And although I really like BF, my 4 biggest complaints with BF would be: the lack of destructible surroundings; the long time to spawn once killed; the lack of armored vehicles, tanks or planes on many occasions, and your incompetent AI comrades which often get in your way.

So after watching a trailer on the COD game I decided to buy it. I was greatly surprised by the action, the intensity and the visual/audio quality of this game. I really like the variety of missions it offers including ship sabotage, blowing up dams, storming and holding various buildings, rescuing captured officers, taking out flak guns, etc. The Russian soldiers arriving in Stalingrad by boat and the attempt to take Red Square is amazing! You really get a sense of the fear and chaos of men arriving in the middle of a war. I love the background noise and voices of the soldiers and the real-like interaction of the soldiers - both friends and enemies. When I throw a grenade I can hear the Germans shouting out "grenade!!!" My AI buddies shout a warning to me if a Kraut should throw one our way - which they often do! This type of interaction never happens in BF. In general the AI comrades and enemies act intelligently.

There is an introduction training-boot camp lesson to help you learn about body movements and weapon types and controls. There are 37 intense single player missions! With 3 different levels of difficulty. The healing packs are ok, but I wish that self-healing could also take place when one is at rest. Some of the surroundings are destructible and at time doors or gates that are closed will open (or get blow open) with a blaze of gun fire! It also has a nice balance between your participation and that of your AI comrades.

My biggest complaint with COD is the difficulty most of the times in discerning my comrades from the enemy. The clothing is often too similar. At times I have killed one of my own buddies and at other times not shot, thinking it was my buddy, only to be killed by a kraut! If you aim your weapon directly at a person some light indicator will show him as an ally - yet often you don't have time to go through this process. Perhaps this confusion is meant to exist since friendly-fire is a real part of war. It really bites though when you only have one or two buddies left in a tight situation and you inadvertently waste one or both! Also I would have liked to see the Kraut ship we planted explosives on blow up as we were making our escape and the dam do likewise. Access to tanks and other armored vehicles would also be a big plus.

I have accomplished the American and British missions and I am half way through the Russian mission - I can't wait to play United Offensive and I will be buying COD 2. I'll also have fun replaying these missions over again on different levels. I am also looking forward to the release of the Company of Heroes I've seen that it will have surroundings that are totally destructible! Will it have a good number of single player missions? Access to armored vehicles? Smart AI buddies and enemies? Teen rating? Time will tell.

I definitely would encourage anyone who enjoys a variety of intense, action-packed infantry battles to get COD.

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.

Excellent game

This is undoubtedly one of the best historical FPS games to date. Authentic uniforms, weapons, and WW2 locations, plus an outstanding musical score make this game wonderful to play and enjoy. You feel like you were really there going through it all. That being said, there are a couple of minor things that really bugged me which prompted the 4 stars rating and not the full 5 stars. First, the NPC enemy reactions to being shot by a sniper rifle are very unrealistic. In real life if you took a bullet between the eyes there wouldn't be any coming back from it. In COD, most times, they get right back up and come at you again after taking one between the eyes and it's annoying because many many times I have moved on thinking I had taken the guy out only to get gunned down from behind a minute later. The other thing is that your allies which are excellent for the most part, have an annoying habit in close quartered siutations of running right in front of you while you're shooting at enemy soldiers and since the game ends if you kill a friendly soldier, it's a bit frustrating at times. But this doesn't occur nearly as much as the other though. Over all a wonderful game and an absolute must buy.

This game is quite enjoyable. I have finished the first game CD and it was great fun! The second CD was quite challenging at the start being at the fronline action. The game music supplied in a separate CD I have installed in my 6 CD changer in th ecar and the music is very interesting! The game plays very well on an Athlon 2800 chip unsing nVidia 64 MB video card.

CoD, CoDUO.

This game is, Very FUn. The original call of Duty is required to run Call of Duty, United Offensive. There is one game mode in the Multiplayer of Call of Duty United Offensive called base assault,which is really fun. Also, in the single player you are virtually unstopable and you kill thousands of Nazis. Its also nice that you ALMOST always fight in a squad. Exept for a few missions. Good Game.

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.
