What i really love about Call of Duty is the variety of missions you get. You drop behind enemy lines, hurtle along heavily-guarded hostile roadways in 'a French tin can' (!), snipe enemy snipers, as a fellow comrade as bait, destroy bridges, rescue British officers from a top-security POW camp and take on a whole panzer division with nothing more than a handful of men and a few panzerfausts! Then there is the multiplayer mode, which is again very good fun. There are many different scenarios, including your classic Team Deathmatch, Behind Enemy Lines and retrival, which is really great.

I play a lot of 1st person shooters, including of course Medal of Honor, but I simply cannot think of one single other 1st person shooter that even comes close to Call of Duty. It is simply outstanding and I give it 10/10.

I also reccommend Call of Duty: United Offensive (the expansion pack), Medal of Honor Pacific Assault and the new Battlefield 2.

Game graphics, animation and sound are outstanding. You feel a bit to close to battle. Besides of the brutal background of the game, it is a step closer to realistic games. But nevermind you're on the good side, aren't you?

It could be better with more ways of keeping "cheats" from using their "aids", up-grades to better weapons should have been made earlier, give beginners a chance.

If you do not mind being "killed" easy, its the game for you.


What a game...   December 11, 2004

If you like FPS games, buy this game. If you don't like FPS games, still buy it. This is an amazing game. Better than MoH and that's saying something - it's easy to see why CoD managed to achieve game of the year. The whole atmosphere of the game draws you in, immersing you in the explosive battles of WWII, ranging from D-Day to Stalingrad to Berlin.

One of the ways that CoD exceeds MoH is the idea that for the majority of the game you find yourself fighting as part of a squad. With the exception of one or two levels (such as the dam level, and boarding the Tirpitz) you find yourself fighting alongside your team-mates, laying down covering fire, lobbing grenades left right and centre or manning heavy artillery pieces and driving tanks. It's so much more realistic and makes you feel you are right there in amongst the action. It's also more realistic in the way you can only carry 2 weapons at a time (usually a rifle and a MG) plus your pistol and grenades. Selection of weapons is good with all guns having different characteristics, some you'll prefer over others.

Favourite levels include defending Pegasus bridge as a Panzer division and a platoon of German soldiers advance upon you; being a raw Russian recruit scrambling under heavy enemy fire into the ruins of Stalingrad; and the climactic struggle to take Berlin.

Overall the graphics are beautiful, the sound immersive and the gameplay stimulating, so much so that as soon as I completed it the first time, I went straight back and started the game again. And I've not even tried the multiplayer yet!
