Amazing game...stop whining about its length!
This game is something i've been waiting for since i got splintercell. A game that you actually have to think about what you are doing, or else you die! I am a World War Two fanatic and i have to say, this is the first WWII game with accurate graphics pertaining to tanks, weapons and uniforms. Most games don't pay attention to detail like CoD. As for all of those who say that the game is too short, get a life! Maybe you shouldn't spend 5 hours a day playing a game! Try limiting yourself to one mission at a time or at least try the game at a setting higher than greenhorn! In short, buy this game: amazing graphics, historical accuracy (the Americans take St Mere Eglise at 4:30-5:00, exact!) and great team game play. Oh yeah, the buddies who may step in front of you are the same guys who would save your life. They are just taking the most tactical position and just learn to work as a team and don't be a crazed killer. This game is not about running around with GOD mode on and slaughtering Germans (who were just fighting for thier country just like the rest of the boys-with the exception of the SS), its about reliving a time in history that changed the world and let us live how we do today. In conclusion, sorry about ther bad spelling/grammar (its early!) and buy this game.
TRY THIS, PRONTO.
Warning: Call of Duty may keep you glued to your screens for a LOT longer than you may have bargained for. It's bloody addictive.
Things I love, no, adore!, about the game:
(1) Graphics are mindblowing. There are places you could be forgiven for thinking you were on the sets of Black Hawk Down or The Pianist...the scenery of Europe (in WWII) is spookily elaborate. Very, very authentic atmosphere.
(2) Ammo is fascinating, a host of machine guns, grenades, rifles, and other arms from around that time. Weapons and nations are correctly linked. The best thing though -- the ability to grab just about everything you can see in the battlefield....low on ammo? Shoot the next soldier you set your eyes on, and grab his MP40 sub-machine gun. Beaut!
(3) It is NOT very resource intensive on your PC, and if you have a half-decent video card, it'll rock. (Is Urisoft listening?)
(4) The movement assigned to human characters is top-notch. You can crouch, jump, dodge bullets etc...all with easy and pleasantly responsive WASD controls /mouse movements. (Tip: crouching is slower but safer especially when in the middle of a shootout. The game does not really allow you to run, AFAIK.)
(5) Have played Battlefield '42 before but the plotline development in Call of Duty is something to beat. There is a great variety of mission types which keeps it from getting boring. The game bills itself as having three distinct single-player campaigns: for Americans, for British, and one for the Russians, but I found this is not true. You do get to play a number of exciting missions from the perspectives of each of these allied forces, and each one takes place in a different part of Europe. (I highly highly recommend the Russian missions)
All in all, this is a game you must get your hands on pronto if you haven't already. And be prepared to be playing it for a while!
