I was looking for an FPS and my friend recommended me this game. So thats when I bought COD 2. It was a bit difficult to adapt to the game because I was used to shooting with a crossfire. In this game the crossfire will not always be present so get used to it, it'll sometimes disappear, but comes back while moving your character. The gameplay of COD 2 is absolutely fabulous. There are a lot of weapons to choose of and they are all balanced. The AI is smart and will react realistically. Sometimes it can be a bit dumb, just like when a frag grenade is thrown and your allies will run into the frag killing them instantly. A case when the AI is smart is when you are flanked or when your allies only advance if a smoke grenade is thrown. You can actually hear your enemies communicating in german, and if you can understand german it might help you a bit in the game.
The sound of the game is perfect. You will always hear guns rattling and men screaming for help. COD 2 is best to be experienced with Dolby 5.1 sound. It is almost never silent in COD 2.
The graphics are good, but not superb. The textures are muddy sometimes. Especially if you look in the Russian campaign what snow is supposed to be like. You will encounter the best graphics in the American campaign. The smoke effects on the other hand are fabulous, so are the character models.You''ll also notice the jaggies and it would've been good if there was some anti-aliasing, that would've made the graphics better. Call of Duty 2 has a lot of replayability left. When completing the campaign on regular should you try Veteran, the hardest difficulty. It is very challenging and realistic, you can die in 2 or 3 bullets. Whats great in COD 2 is that when playing a higher difficulty your enemies don't become 2 or 3 times more powerful that you. They are just as vulnerable as you as you can kill them with one shot with certain weapons. You'll find yourself using other weapons than when playing on regular. Rifles are more important on veteran since you can't run and gun everyone, since you'll be shot at sight. Veteran also requires you to use your mind, to use different strategies in different situations. Playing through veteran takes a lot of time, but you'll improve your skills. I was always used playing with a crossfire. But halfway playing on regular I decided to disable the crossfire and all of the auto aim. I liked it better that way. But veteran can bring it frustrations too, there will be times where you'll be killed very often and after that you just don't seem to be in the mood to play anymore.
After you've played the offline part there is till the online part. COD 2 support 8 players max. The matchmaking is very good, just like Halo 2 and there is not lag anymore (there used to be lag, but that was patched a time ago). Playing online requires you to use strategies and the play as a team. Thats the best way to win. Playing online is fun and there are a lot of maps and some downloadable maps to whi

Great game, even for the non FPS enthusiast

I have never really been into FPS games before this one. I usually can't sit still long enough to play these types of games, so I usually prefer sports games where I can play one game and quit. However, this is a great game - I've actually sat down and played for a few hours at a time. It's interesting, fun, and somewhat historical - what's not to like? I'm looking forward to getting Call of Duty 3 now.

Freakin' Awesome

This game is freakin' awesome. I feel sorry for any Call of Duty fans who hasn't gotten this game yet. This game is way better than Medal of Honor: Frontline because you actually rappell along the cliff when you play in USA D-Day! The shooting is genuine and so is the gameplay. It feels so original in 1 way but genuine in another. If you are wondering which xbox 360 game to get next, think CALL OF DUTY 2 GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION! Don't hesitate. THis game is worth the price!!!! GET THIS GAME!

Much better than the xbox counterpart

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.

Easily the greatest WWII video game ever made

COD 2, is easily the best shooter based on the second world war ever made. The singleplayer is divided into the usual American, British, and Russian campaigns, each of which is several levels long. The ending was sudden, but left me satisfied and ready for multiplayer.

The graphics, put simply, are phenomenal! Placing you in the bleakest of war zones with smoke, gunshots and chaos occuring everywhere. From bombers flying overhead and tanks running down totalled buildings and obstacles, the frighteningly real atmosphere of the original title has been amped up with Hollywood production values.

If there's ever a FPS game to own... this is the one!

Much better than the xbox counterpart

I play on Xbox Live all the time with this game and I have so much fun. Although they are coming out with new games like Halo 3, I still the classics like this game!! Like being in War, except more fun. There are tons of maps to play on, and there is a great storyline. This game will also teach you a little about WW2 and what happened. Great game, one of the best games on the 360 in my opinion!! BUY THIS GAME!

Great game

This game is awsome. The graphics are good considering that it came out as soon as the Xbox 360 did. I think that Call of duty 2 is better then Call of Duty 3. The music is pretty good. I like that you get to play as Russian, British and American soldiers. The tank missions are pretty cool and are pretty easy. You'll play some of the missions a few times. I recamend it if you like WWII games.
