Customer Reviews
For Mac users - this Edition is Not the Version for the Mac
Amazon made a mistake and put
down that this version is for the Macintosh OS X operating system in
addition to Windows. That is not the case. Activision does not release
games on the MAC platform. They work with other, third party companies
to do so. Aspyr is the company that makes Call of Duty on the Mac.
Search for games by Aspyr and you'll find it there.
Just an FYI
so Mac users don't buy the wrong game.
The
endless ammo problem
First of all let me just say
that I have both this game and the Medal of Honor war chest. These are
two fantastic FPS in the WWII campaign where allied forces are supposed
to kick ass. On to COD now.
1 - Plot line: It is interesting to
play 3 different campaigns, with the yanks, the brits and the soviets.
However, you shift back and forth in the campaigns, making you lose
track of where, in history, you are. If you were to follow a single
squad from all the way until the fall of Berlin, in 3 different story
lines that you could choose from, it would be more envolving.
Nevertheless, this games wins to MOH in this respect.
2 - The
endless ammo problem. Now, can somebody tell the developers of these
games that even MG42 needed reloading at some point? This is crucial
when you want to attack a german position that is held by MG42 since you
either hit the guy behind the gun with a single shot or you'll be
minced meat trying to do it. This was somewhat fixed in the expansion
pack (the Bastogne campaign) but only on your side: the german MG42 keep
pounding while you have to reload yours. A bit unfair...
3- The
graphics: simply amazing. Good quality renderings of the buildings,
explosions, soldiers, tanks. Very good quality.
If you
enjoyed MOH, you'll enjoy this a lot more!
A solid WW II FPS
I bought this game after
seeing all the hype of it's successor COD2. I have periods that come and
go where I want to play a good FPS that is usually based on WW2.
I
was, and am, still a big fan of Hidden and Dangerous2 which was not
only an excellent single player game, but had a fun multiplayer. Alas,
in the recent year or so the numbers have dwindeled except for the early
hours since the game was very popular in Europe.
So I bought
this game with high hopes to be the replacement for H&D2. Well, I
have to say that it has really met my hopes and expectations. The action
is very intense, and the sounds of the various weapons are very
accurate(except the .45 pistol, IMHO)
It's good to see a game
where the MG 42 both sounds and fires like it really did.
You
really get a feeling that you are not the star of the show, but just
another grunt in the thick of the war. There are random shellings that
could possibly kill you even though you have defeated the enemy that was
around you. The game does a great job at making you feel like you are
there, and the actions of your fellow soldiers doesn't feel artificial.
Some will charge in and shoot the enemy, possibly getting mowed down.
Others will take up a defensive position, while others try to guard your
flanks. (or rears, lol)
The multiplayer is the best I've
experienced in a WW2 shooter thus far. The servers are packed with tons
of people that you can join in with for deathmatch, team deathmatch, and
a bunch of other styles of play.
Graphically, the game really
shines. The only gripe I have is that you can't really damage your
surroundings. I want to be able to shoot out lights, blow down doors,
and take a chunk out of a building with a panzerfaust. Other than this,
there are no complaints.
Even though it's successor is now on the
scene, please don't think this is a second rate game. It is a great
game, and it is a great deal of fun for the money. The current price is
sweet!
