Still, it’s amazing how well the game prevents you from thinking about this by giving you too much else to think about. Some missions give you a choice of objectives, but these basically come down to “should I blow up this place first, or after I’ve blow up the others?” The size of the maps mean it doesn’t quite have the ‘corridor’ mentality of the early Medal of Honor games, but there are times when you can definitely feel the walls keeping you hemmed in. It’s not really a case that there’s anything here you haven’t seen before, but have you seen it done so well? Probably not.Īdmittedly, the game does rather lead you by the nose. Later on there are also some enjoyable if short-lived episodes of tank-to-tank combat, some great skirmishes in North African towns, and a spot of really-extreme rock climbing. One minute you might be pushing Nazi forces back through the streets of Stalingrad, the next you’re infiltrating a contested station through a narrow pipeline, shrinking back as bullets riddle the metal, the shafts of light marking how near you came to death. Call of Duty 2 throws enemies thick and fast at you, yet it never feels as one-note repetitive as F.E.A.R. Call of Duty 2 effortlessly manages what Medal of Honor has tried to do for years, and what Quake 4 tried desperately to replicate on planet Strogg: create a fast-paced, cinematic experience of warfare that never lets up for a second. Listen, learn, then race in and give those Nazis the thrashing they deserve.īut neither the graphics nor the sound would make this a great game if it all wasn’t so brilliantly orchestrated. Where in most shooters, your comrades seem to add in comment just to keep things lively, here they actually say sensible things. Also, let’s not forget the magnificent surging score, kicking in just when things need a boost, then dropping out to let you concentrate on the action.

If the crack and whiz of passing gunfire is at least disconcerting, the rumble of oncoming tanks is the stuff small children’s nightmares are made of. Then once the bullets start flying it gives your speakers the best workout they have ever had. and Half-Life 2 in the ambient atmosphere stakes, from the pounding of artillery in the background to the German propaganda broadcasts in the Stalingrad missions. Call of Duty 2 is right up there with F.E.A.R.

When a tank rolls over the trench you’re cowering in, or the planes come screaming overhead, you cannot help but be amazed by the sheer spectacle of it all. The way your vision blurs when taking bullets is probably my single, favourite visual effect of the year. In its best moments – the icy wreckage of the Stalingrad apartment blocks, frantic skirmishes in a desert bunker – Call of Duty 2 has an almost physical feel to it. Call of Duty 2 looks good in screenshots, but to really understand it you have to see it in motion: the smoke drifting through the stunning detailed environments the troops half-running, half-crawling from cover to cover the way the dynamic lighting illuminates details and textures on the uniforms.

Of course, a lot of its success is to do with the visuals, and you are going to need a beefy system to do it justice, but this is one of those games where the game experience would be unimaginable without the graphics, and the graphics would just be eye-candy without the game experience they’re used to create. Even now, with my eyes blurred and unable to focus and my ears ringing from the sound of gunfire and grenades exploding, it’s still difficult to believe quite how powerful a game Call of Duty 2 is. It simply creates the most intense, exhilarating, sometimes terrifying and frequently exhausting experience of combat around. It doesn’t give you a mass of clever tactical options or open battlefields where you can do things your way. It’s not out to provide the most realistic depiction of the war. It’s not original, subtle or particularly innovative.

This is the World War II shooter to end all World War II shooters.
