COD 5 while a great game, is a bit of a dissapointment to the series.

Story: The game starts in Makin Island at night on August 17, 1942. Private Miller watches the torture and execution of a fellow soldier by the Japanese. As they turn towards Miller, he is rescued by his crew and they assault the island, replicating the Makin Island raid. The following mission then starts two years later, where the Americans assault the Japanese-held island of Peleliu. Miller calls in rocket strikes to take out Japanese Ha-Gō tanks. At the end of the mission, Sergeant Sullivan is fatally impaled through the stomach by a Japanese soldier wielding a katana. The next mission starts in a swamp area of Peleliu, with Corporal Roebuck (now promoted to Sergeant, after the death of Sullivan), as they travel to the Japanese-held airfield. Miller acquires a flamethrower and bazooka during the mission.

The game then jumps to the Soviet campaign on September 17, 1942, during the Battle of Stalingrad. Dimitri Petrenko wakes up amongst dead bodies of his fellow soldiers, as the Germans shoot them. After they have gone, he meets Sergeant Reznov, a soldier from another unit. Reznov tells Dimitri that he wants to kill General Amsel, the man behind the Soviet casualties. After eliminating some German soldiers, Dimitri follows Reznov through buildings and streets, as they kill Germans on their way, using sniper rifles and machine guns, until Dimitri kills Amsel; at which point, they run and jump into the river. The following mission starts three years later at the Battle of the Seelow Heights, near Berlin, where Dimitri witnesses the torture of a fellow soldier by Germans and as the Germans approach Dimitri, he is saved by Soviet soldiers, including Sergeant Reznov. Together the Soviet troops advance through German lines, as Dimitri aids them with a Panzerschrek, as they reach a German camp.

The game returns back to Peleliu, where the Americans are pushing further inland through the island. Miller and his unit take out enemy mortar crews, so their tanks can go inland. They then disable Japanese guns, facing out to sea by taking out enemy infantry in caves.[

Missions: Kill a bunch of japs or Germans and move on to the next. The occasional blowing something up missions.

Features: Lots of multiplayer featrues, short campaign and lots of weapons.

AI: The AI seems pretty good, they work together to kill you, at some points they are a bit stupid though.

Graphics: The visuals of the game are extremly detailed down to the soil. Everything looks realistic and not pixlelated at all.

Audio: A great soudtrack and a great ambient noise makes you feel like your their fighting.

Requirements: PC

The Good: An alright Singleplayer campaign and alright multiplayer make this an alright game.

The Bad: ok AI, Short Campaign.

The Ugly: N/A

Replayability: Little To None.

The Bottom Line: An alright addition to the COD series but could be a bit better.
