Description

Call of Duty 2 lets players experience four individual soldier stories as they overcome insurmountable odds in multiple campaigns. Players have the freedom to follow each of the four storylines through for the ultimate character-driven experience, or they can engage in the historic battles chronologically for quick hitting action. Infinity Ward has also expanded the scope of combat to deliver a truly realistic battlefield experience. Squads now have the freedom to take on a variety of mission objectives, on expansive battlefields that allow for multiple paths and the ability to utilize actual combat tactics like outflanking and fire and maneuver capabilities. Call of Duty 2’s new engine and A.I. technology set the stage for authentic squad combat and astonishing action. Concealment can be key as battlefield smoke or even deployed smoke grenades cloud visibility. Weather effects such as the dusty sandstorms of North Africa and whiteout blizzard conditions of Russia, for example, will keep soldiers glued to their bunkers. The team has also employed a state-of-the-art Battle Chatter System that brings the action to life as squad-mates bark out context-sensitive updates in real-time to players through an advanced A.I. system.

This multiplayer component caps an already stunning single-player campaign and extends the value greatly. If you can’t get enough of WWII, Call of Duty 2 is the hot ticket.90GamesRadar+
An exceptional game no matter which way you cut it: intense singleplayer with stunning graphics and audio, and a rock solid multiplayer component.90Xbox World Australia
A freakin’ work of art. It is, without a doubt, the best-looking console game to date, and the most psychotically intense World War II shooter to boot.100GamePro
It outguns just about every other console shooter currently on the market.90Game Power Australia
Even if you’re getting a little sick of the WW2 shooter genre, I’d suggest you give it a shot, as its gameplay is the right mix of fun and realism and the multiplayer modes are plenty of fun.90AtomicGamer
Something special. It’s a war shooter that’s both intoxicating yet grisly. From the game’s first moments as a young Russian soldier learning the ropes, you’ll be sucked in to combat.100Detroit Free Press
My score – 10/10. . .100DimaLuksha
Quite simply, this is the best WWII game ever made. [Dec 2005, p.146]98Game Informer
I remember how hard it was to beat it in the hardest difficulty. It took me weeks.80VLG
Infinity Ward took the bar, threw it up, and jumped over it when it was still in the air.97PGNx Media

This is honestly one of the good cod games. While I haven’t played the multiplayer, the single player is the best part of the game, which great mission design and fun missions.70gameguardian21
