Call of Duty® 2

Summary: Call of Duty® 2 redefines the cinematic intensity and chaos of battle as seen through the eyes of ordinary soldiers fighting together in epic WWII conflicts. The sequel to 2003's Call of Duty, winner of over 80 Game of the Year awards, Call of Duty 2 offers more immense, more intense, more realistic battles than ever before, thanks to the stunning visuals of the new COD™2 engine. ------------------------------- What is in the game: There is a singleplayer campaign that consists of 3 mini campaigns where you play as different ally factions. It has 3 difficulty options as well. There is a multiplayer mode too as well that is deathmatch and some other modes. I don't know if its active at all. ------------------------------- Thoughts: *This review is only based on campaign. I played on regular and enjoyed my time, the 3 campaigns were all fun with memorable levels and set pieces, even if the Soviet one felt a bit short. There's a decent amount of guns that all feel good to use. The story like the first game isn't really about the soldiers themselves but more about the war. Everything just really holds up well IMO. It is also just a solid COD game. If you like old cod games, I recommend playing this. ------------------------------- Mid PC Optimization: Ran fine at 60 fps on high settings, some modern hardware could struggle because of the age, so check out LuKeStorm's Custom Patch v2 if that is the case. ------------------------------- Time to Beat: ~8 hours. ------------------------------- Price: ☐ Buy it full ☑ Wait for sale ☐ Don't buy it ☐ Free Like all cod games, its overpriced considering the age and low playerbase. 20 bucks isn't horrendous but if it goes on sale, get it then. ------------------------------- Graphics: ☐ Amazing ☐ Good ☑ Average ☐ Bad ☐ Awful It just looks fine, hasn't aged bad, but is a massive improvement over the first game in fidelity and effects. The game actually looks really good in sunset levels with the nice orange lighting and bloom from the sun. ------------------------------- Gameplay: ☐ Very Fun ☑ Fun ☐ Meh ☐ Bad ☐ Awful Its standard cod gameplay, cover shooting and doing objectives, they changed some stuff that improved the game in my opinion from the first, replaced medkits with the regeneration system and they made throwables just be hotkeys instead of having their own weapon slot. So yeah pretty solid overall nothing much has changed from this to the modern games, only feature I was really missing was bullet penetration that got added in COD 4, with a few levels that were a little annoying. ------------------------------- Music: ☐ Amazing ☑ Good ☐ Average ☐ Bad ☐ Terrible ☐ None Orchestral soundtrack but done will like the first game, its music fits the scenarios and amplifies the experience. ------------------------------- Bugs: ☐ None that i've seen ☑ Not impactful ☐ Negatively affects gameplay I saw a few occasional small graphics and enemy AI bugs, but nothing too big/ ------------------------------- Side-Notes: Might need to check out LuKeStorm's Custom Patch v2 if it has trouble running on your modern computer.
