Just plain fun
User Rating: 9.4 | Call of Duty 2 X360
would like to start off by saying that Call of Duty 2 is a great first person shooter and is a welcomed edition to the series. Call of Duty 2 is the sequel to Call of Duty and it's long string of patches and expansions. Right of the bat I can say this game is great. Even if you are sick of World War 2 shooters this is just too good to pass up. The development team "infinity ward" did a great job. The sound in this game is incredible. I haven't heard anything like this. An example of this game's exemplary sound is the way you here the bullets pass by to close like that sounds like a quick zip passed your ear. Infinity ward also took the time to record each gun sound and relay the recordings into the game. This gives each gun a distinctly different sound. By the end of the game you should be able to name each gun by there unique sound. This make for a very realistic and some time frighting game. The difficulty setting are similar to many other shooting games because it has a Easy, Medium, and, hard setting but it also has veteran mode. Which would be like a realistic mode. The enemy's on veteran mode are incredible smart and and while flank you and throw many, many grenades. The AI is so good that each time you play a level it feels and is completely different. This make the game easer to come back to time and time again. The graphics are great. There is no slowdown in single player and is very smooth nice to look at. The smoke effects are gorgeous and the character models are very nice. There is no physics in the game which is expected by most know a days, but isn't needed and it really doesn't effect the gameplay much at all. The game is also online meaning that you can play against friend and family and random strangers all over the globe. The online is very fun but is fundamentally flawed. It's missing some much needed things like split-screen on line, which allow a friend and family member to play along with you when online. It also only supports 8 players which is the worst of all it's online issues. Online aside this game has a superb single player campaign and a fun online component. Add great graphics and amazing sound and AI you have game that is enjoyable on all levels.
