Call of Duty

This computer game is just amazing, here you get the most intense feeling of WWII you have ever seen and if you have played this game you know that the war wasn´t very heroic!

In this game you fight for the american army, the British armed forces and the russian red army. On american side, you take part in the D-Day (but not at Omaha, you are a parachute-soldier) together with your comrades, in most of the mission you are just a normal soldier between lots of others. You also have a leader who gives you orders during the mission so it feels very realistic. After the american campaign you fight for the british, here you are more like an elite soldier and this is the only campaign where you may feel as a hero because you bombed away the "Edertalsperre" or have stolen important documents. But in the next campaign this is over because as a russian there can´t be found anything heroic. I think this campaign is the best because this campaign shows how the war really was. In germany you cant only get this game if you are 18 or older or have parents who buy it for you ;)! But this is ok because in this game there isn´t much blood but you see hundreds and thousands of allied and german soldiers dieing in huge battles! As a russian you a part of the battle at Stalingrad and you also play as a tank commander, so this campaign really is the best.

This game also has good soun effects and graphic but the only negative point is: It´s too short, you just need less than 10 hours to pass the single-player mode. The multiplayer mode is also good but nothing special, there are some new gametypes but thats all. So if you like intense games, buy this one, it´s really great!

Compared with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Call of Duty is just a little bit better. Both games are fantastic, and Call of Duty is the most accurate depiction of war during 1944-1945 I have ever seen.

The graphics and sound are through the roof, definitely surpassing Medal of Honor in sound and graphics. But the only silly thing is what is it with always having to blow up something with explosives? It is like you take out one flak gun and there is ''2 remaining'', and so on.

Anyway, this is probably the best WWII first-person shooter since MOHAA,and MOHAA spearhead.

The American Campaign is the best, but the British campaign is not fun because there is not enough bullets flying, or tanks rumbling, or maybe it does not have the jaw-dropping theme that the American campaign had.

The Russian campaign is probably the hardest, and I died 8,9,10 times throughout the Russian campaign.

I love the American car ride level. It is very hectic, and it just adds to the fun of it.I finished the game in about 4 days, and I found it kind of short for a first-person shooter.

Anyway, Call of Duty remains one of the most accurate and overall just plain GREAT games.

I've seen some appalling reviews in this place and I thought I should rectify the shot from some of the reviewers. What is Call of Duty aside from a WWII shooter? Well, just that. It's a world-war 2 shooter with an aspect centered a lot more on the war rather than a large-scale vendetta against Nazis. Medal Of Honor played like this chunky three-legged script-o-rama. You felt rather weak in front of soldiers that could smack you, while all you could do is stand there and shoot them. It was a great shooter, but I don't think MOH: AA ever set any kind of milestone. Nor was it an objective ever to beat MOH. Call of Duty literally SPITS on MOH:AA.

Its gameplay is better, its sound is better, its scenarisation is better, hell the NAME itself is a lot more enticing. Call of Duty will give you something MOH: AA could never have. And that's -SWEAT-. In MOH: AA , it wasn't unlikely to be seen running through enemy lines just blasting away with your thompson smg. Now? If you even pop your head out, you're almost dead: That's if you play the game on Veteran difficulty.

People saying that this game is too easy have just played it on Greenhorn (easiest difficulty). Is this an MOH: AA killer? You bet it is. Gone are the heavy and pointless infiltration scenes: There is one but I'm sure the people at 2015 just wanted to mock MOH's faults by making it extremely short a mission. See, Call of Duty doesn't mess around and try to be more than it really is. It tells you flat out: You're gonna be fighting a war here, boy. Saddle up.

And it never lets go.

Not as superior as the Medal of Honor series but still an excellent game!

The most original thing about "Call of Duty" is the story. The story gives you the feeling you're watching a movie were you are in control of. The levels aren't just levels were you have to go from point A to B and shoot everything and everyone on your way. The levels are scenario's in which there is always something going on and surprises wait around every corner. The levels are filled with great many moments and surprises in which you have to fight for your live and that of your buddies. It really gives you a movie feeling, it's no wonder once you know that the story was written by professional movie writer Michael Schiffer who also wrote the screenplay for "Crimson Tide", "The Peacemaker" and the recent movie "The Four Feathers".

The amazing soundtrack by the excellent Michael Giacchino also add to the movie feeling of the game. The music is written like it's made for a movie scene instead of for a game level. Some tracks even surpass the music Giacchino did for the Medal of Honor games. The music is not spectacular or exciting (like he did for the Medal of Honor games) but emotional instead, which is probably one of the reasons why it gives the game an extra movie like feeling. The music for when you have to hold the Pegasus bridge until reinforcements arrive and the music when you storm the Reichstag in Berlin especially stand out. Giacchino isn't called the new John Williams for no reason.

The levels like I said before are excellent. There is a high variety of levels in which you don't only play as Americans but also as British and Russian soldiers. Some of the levels uses elements and moments from the HBO mini-series "Band of Brothers" and especially from the movie "Enemy at the Gates".

And then the sound. My God the sound! The game has probably the best sound I ever heard done for a game. It really gives you the feeling like you are in the middle of WW II and need to dodge bullets and mortars all the time.

The gameplay however isn't that good, especially not once you're used to games like Medal of Honor. And the fact that you can only carry 2 weapons at the time (+ pistol and grenades) surly adds to the realism of the game but not to the fun of it.

It's not a game you quickly play over and over again once you have finished but luckily the multiplayer option gives the game an high play-ability level. The maps are fun and you can choose between many play options such as SD (search and destroy) and DM (death match) or the original BEL (behind enemy lines) option.

I even liked the game better once I found out that Giovanni Ribisi and Earl Boen were part of the voice cast. I'm eagerly awaiting the first add-ons!

9/10

I must say,this game really captivated me.and not just for the shooting part but from the fact that it has copied some fantastic movies like "Saving Private Ryan" and "Enemy at the Gates" and by doing this ,it has made me very happy,finally a game from the movie not the other way around.and the sound...ahhh the sound..keep your head down,'cause i kept mine ..:))).Very good game indeed,the guns are accurate,the faces are nice,even the AI is pretty good.like..they are thinking:"let's kill the sniper first" and that's good game-play. The bad part is that is very short game..almost 9 hours of continuous play and that's it. A good solid performance by the actors giving voice to characters too. Let's hope there will be some more games like this!
