I only played this game because i loaned it, after playing COD i decided i was not gonna buy COD 2 when i heard they were making it. I was VERY scheptical about this game and some of my fears about it seem to have become real. I must admit that the ambience, action, intensity is SUPERB, it really hooks you off, is addictive as hell. Each time i look at my watch 2 hours have passed. You really think you're in Omaha beach, or tunisia, etc. Artificial Intelligence is very well done. But ironically there is something i don't understand, like for example you have find cover to heal yourself, the medpacks you found in other games are gone for sure!, maybe that's why there is more room now for effects and intensity, but really not wanting to be unfair, COD2 FEELS LIKE A TWO YEARS DELAYED PATCH FOR COD . Someone figured out that realism doesn't buy the audience but arcade does, that explains the really lame MP mode, of which i cannot see any difference from COD 1. Either i'm becoming a boring military realism enthusiast or the tendency for shooters like this one are to have a very arcade approach. I've never decided to buy Day of Defeat, but after i finish making this report, i'm gonna order it, because realism on War tactical and 3d shooters must be rewarded, and playing the lacking MP mode of COD2 just encouraged me to explore other more realistic WW2 3d shooters. So i guess if it's WW2 shooter for MP it's gonna be either DOD or Red Orchestra so far, COD2 really didn't quite make it for me.
Bottom Line: If you liked COD's single player campaigns you MUST play COD2 NOW!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING.
Multiplayer?? same as COD, don't expect anytyhing new.
