Just when WWII shooters were getting dry, a game finally answers the call.
Call of Duty 2 brings an improvement on audio, graphics, and overall performance. The shear size of some levels give you the ability to pick and choose which objectives you'd like to do first. Along with that is a missions chart which also allows you to pick and skip certain campaign levels if you don't like them or are too challenging. When you get down to the game, just about everything has been improved on. The graphics look fantastic, displaying the various environments you'll encounter through the three standard campaigns. Audio also adds to the game, making fights more immersive. Team mates and enemies alike will bark orders and give away positions in the heat of battle. The developers have also gotten rid of the health meter, forcing players to rely more on indications such as fuzzy and shellshock kind of look when heavily wounded. Give it afew seconds and you'll be healed completely, run and gun and you'll risk death. Overall, it's the original x2, which of course is always a good thing. Historical footage also plays between campaigns, adding to the authenticity.
One aspect that I read was that this games is something of a system hog, and may bog down to a chug in certain maps. I didn't experience that problem anywhere, but keep that in mind when you're considering this game. Some of the missions take a little trial and error when attempting to beat them, wchich can get annoying after awhile. Besides that, this game was awesome and definitly worthit. So go check it out, that's an order!
