5.0 out of 5 stars A New Type Of Gaming, 22 Aug 2004

By	M. Wenzl "harlequin21" - See all my reviews

This is a game that should set targets for developers. Forget that Americanised turd of Medal of Honor, this is what you should bust your money on.
Call of Duty introduces a new kind of war gaming. You actually have squads around you, similar to Operation Flashpoint, but they think for themselves. What you have to love about this game is that it borrows so heavily from the films we love. The final battle in Saving Private Ryan is similar to an earlier level in the game. The tutorial is like Band Of Brothers and, later on in the game, you will play levels similar to films but as the British and the Russians.
I think this is a breakthrough in gaming to have. For once we don't just have to play as an American in Normandy. Sure, paratrooper activies in Normandy is cool to play but was sadly cliched from Medal Of Honor. But more to the point: you will defend Pegasus Bridge with a company of paratroopers - this was a real battle and is the same as the location in Normandy. You'll have a dramatic opening to the Russian campaign in a steamer crossing the Volga river as in Enemy At The Gates. Wicked. Then, later on, you have the chance to defend the legendary "Pavlov's House", another real occurance that took place in Stalingrad.
The weapons are actually good in this game. You don't just use a Thompson and M1 Garand all the time. You see a wider selection: the British Sten and Bren guns, the Russian PPsH S.M.G, the German Panzerfaust and you'll see plenty of anti-tank rifles scattered around on some levels. It's one of those games where you can only have two guns with you at once which makes it so much more real and gives some suspense when you have to leg it for some more ammo stashed by your quartermaster in a ruined house and so on.
There are some Medal Of Honor type levels. In one particular mission you have to blow up a damn and kill Germans by the hundred. Those Special Forces missions just aren't fun. It's so refreshing to see a real battle and to fight it alongside your comrades.
The Germans are for once not immaculately uniformed. They're as scruffy as your own men so you're not fighting the stereotypical soldiers with the jackboots. However, it would be nice to see a game be made where for once you are a German fighting in Stalingrad or Normandy because it's more original and I think would attract quite an audience. Some of what I've heard happen in war to German troops is as interesting as any other record of war experiences.
Anyway, a game with fantastic atmosphere and environments, as well as missions that borrow from films. What more could you want? If you're a WW2 lover or even general war buff, this should be bought because of the originality and historical atmosphere.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a game..., 11 Dec 2004

By	"spenc1579" - See all my reviews

If you like FPS games, buy this game. If you don't like FPS games, still buy it. This is an amazing game. Better than MoH and that's saying something - it's easy to see why CoD managed to achieve game of the year. The whole atmosphere of the game draws you in, immersing you in the explosive battles of WWII, ranging from D-Day to Stalingrad to Berlin.

One of the ways that CoD exceeds MoH is the idea that for the majority of the game you find yourself fighting as part of a squad. With the exception of one or two levels (such as the dam level, and boarding the Tirpitz) you find yourself fighting alongside your team-mates, laying down covering fire, lobbing grenades left right and centre or manning heavy artillery pieces and driving tanks. It's so much more realistic and makes you feel you are right there in amongst the action. It's also more realistic in the way you can only carry 2 weapons at a time (usually a rifle and a MG) plus your pistol and grenades. Selection of weapons is good with all guns having different characteristics, some you'll prefer over others.

Favourite levels include defending Pegasus bridge as a Panzer division and a platoon of German soldiers advance upon you; being a raw Russian recruit scrambling under heavy enemy fire into the ruins of Stalingrad; and the climactic struggle to take Berlin.

Overall the graphics are beautiful, the sound immersive and the gameplay stimulating, so much so that as soon as I completed it the first time, I went straight back and started the game again. And I've not even tried the multiplayer yet!

5.0 out of 5 stars Call Of Duty - One of the best!, 28 Feb 2006

By A Customer

I actually bought the Call of Duty Deluxe Edition . which also includes the United Offensive Expansion Pack! This game is superb! I have only just bought it, however I wished I had bought it sooner as the game is so much better compared to the Medal of Honor series which I originally only owned. The game consists of 3 campaigns: The American Campaign, The British Campaign and The Russian Campaign and all have a pospective outlook on World War 2. The American and British Campaigns involve the D-Day landings on Normandy and both are based on being dropped behind enemy lines before the landings and securing key positions i.e. bridges, towns etc. Whereas the Russian Campaign starts off with you being a Russian peasent being forced to fight by Stalin himself. The campaign starts off by taking the city of stalingrad (now Moscow I think as Red Square gets mentioned) and then moves onto the invasion/liberation of Warsaw in Poland.
The Graphics are top notch on this game, the storylines are superb and you really feal as if you are in the action as the germans seem to like shooting at you more then your computer- generated army mates!
This game is a must have, however buy it from dvd.co.uk as you get the expansion which has loads more missions to keep you going for a long time!
I give this game 9/10
