Recently surpassed by superior WWII games, but for $10, still a classic.

I got Call of Duty in the "Call of Duty" warchest, along with COD2, and the expansion to COD. I couldnt help it, and I played COD2 first, which then of course, lowered my anticipation of COD. However when I first played it, I realized why this game was such a classic. The game re-defined WWII first person shooters. When I think of a WWII shooter, I think of a game with British/American soldier, running from town to town, killing Germans. Sniping, melee, but mostly the up close and hysteric shooting. You have a life-bar, and ammo, and many different guns. When you die, you come back to the last checkpoint. You have different objectives in a mission, but an overall mission to complete. And it is semi-realistic, you cant just charge into a building and kill everyone (like in COD 2) which I think is too bad. But that is the WWII game that I think of, and that game is call of duty. Even by today's standards, Call of Duty has excellent graphics, and really exciting gameplay. It is such an exciting game. In COD 2, you have a sense of invulnerability, that you do not get in Call of Duy. In the first mission, when you reach your commanding officer, and he is dead in the tree...that is awesome. And you come across the germans playing cards...you just go in and kill them all. Amazing, you can see why this game defined world war II shooters. For $10 this game is a steal, especially for those with older computers, but the bottom line is, Call of Duty 2 is a superior game, and it is just more fun to play. For example in Call of Duy 1, you have to take out that entire dam by yourself...? That would never have happened in real life. I got killed so many times on that level, that I just ended up crawling through it, lol, and I'm serious. They dont make the impossible stuff in COD 2. But still, if you have an older computer, and $10, this game is worth it.
