Call of Duty 2 should be regarded as the best WWII shooter for the PC. You feel captivated by your environment and truly feel right in the middle of the action. The graphics are very well done with a feel of a smokey ambience through the game. There could have been more texture and lighting effects to give it more of a realistic feel though. The sound is definately the best part of the game. The musical composition is theatrical in quality. Sound effects are extremely life like with a great enviromental presence. Especially most enjoyed on 3D sound cards. The feeling of spaciousness and echos of warfare are done like no other. The gameplay is great except for the fact that you have to follow a very specific sequence to progress in the single player game. This is done by completing objectives in a progressive manner. There should be more freedom of movement on the map. The ai is quite good where npcs go for cover when fired upon. The graphics are smooth, and not a super hardware hog like some other fps's out there. This game should be able to be run at the min specs without a problem. I tried it at home with a dual core AMD X2-4400 cpu and a 7800GTX 256mb video card, vs my work computer running a P4 2.2ghz and a Geforce 6600 128mb video card. The work computer held its own and ran suprisingly smooth. This is great for those of you who want to play a new state of the art game without buying a state of the art computer. The multiplayer is good, as to be expected. It plays somewhat simular to the MOH series. All in all, this is a fantastic game. For those of you who want the feel of raw WWII battle, COD2 delivers like no other. Highly recommended.
