You and your fellow soldiers clear buildings and bunkers, hold positions until reinforcements can arrive, destroy cannons, disable enemy communications and the like. The missions, at least in terms of objectives, echo those of the original Call of Duty. Occasionally it's you and a squadmate or two more often, you're part of a massive fighting force trying to take a larger area or repel a gigantic onslaught. Each of these soldiers has a name and a small bit of backstory, but it's mostly irrelevant it's really about fighting as part of a larger squad. There are separate campaigns for Russian, British and American troops where you fill the combat boots of various grunts.
Not one to mess with success, Call of Duty 2 sticks to the basic structure laid out in the first game. Add in some satisfying multiplayer gameplay that builds on the success of the original, and you have what's arguably the best pure PC action game of 2005. With one sprawling, chaotic battle after another, it's filled with set pieces that play out like a WWII movie and yet has enough openness and variety to stand repeated playthroughs. Multiplayer warfare is supported for Internet-connected soldiers.Ĭall of Duty 2, without really deviating from the formula that made the first game a hit, manages to remain immensely exciting and entertaining from its first shot to the last. The game's single-player campaign is designed to allow individual players to progress through the missions in the order they prefer. Enemy squads are likely to have learned a few new tricks as well. Computer-controlled teammates act and react individually, and the game's contextual "battle chatter" system lets players know exactly what's on their minds.
The sequel boasts graphical enhancements and significant improvements to artificial intelligence.
This Infinity Ward follow-up to 2003's critically acclaimed Call of Duty pushes farther across the European Theatre of World War II, with missions spanning the desert fighting in North Africa to the tank assaults on the Russian front.
