    The greatest Call of Duty game ever made in my opinion. The graphics and gameplay are mush more polished than that in COD1. The Russian missions are the best levels that Call of Duty franchise has ever created.

    Call of Duty 2. Back on the battlefield. Even more dynamic and even more interesting, and all this is Call of Duty 2. In the sequel, the cinematography of this series of games already begins. This is no longer just a shooter like Medal of Honor, but this is already a small movie in which you are directly involved.

La campaña tiene misiones variadas que nos otorgan distintos escenarios de la segunda guerra mundial y hay un gran catalogo de armas para elegir dependiendo de la nacion en la que estés jugando. La música acompaña muy bien los grandes momentos y no resulta molesta, suena cuando es necesario y encaja bien con cada situación. Los efectos de sonido no me terminan de convencer, muchos son reciclados del primer cod pero eso no molesta mucho y en general son bastante realistas.
    Los gráficos no han envejecido tan mal y claramente se ve que mejoraron mucho con respecto al primer juego. Las armas se sienten bien, cada una se controla diferente y cada facción tiene sus armas características. Lamentablemente muchas veces parece que disparases balas de gomas, y los enemigos pueden resistir varios disparos antes de caer muertos. Con respecto al cod 1, este titulo podría considerarse mas fácil, principalmente por la implementación de la vida regenerativa. En cod 1 el hecho de tener que buscar botiquines para curarte era un gran problema y realmente era un gran reto superar ciertas misiones. sin duda es muy divertido y cualquier jugador podrá superar las misiones sin muchas complicaciones y actualmente casi cualquier pc puede correr este juego sin problemas.

    Conclusión: "Call of Duty 2" es un gran titulo que sin duda tenés que jugar y aunque ya tenga algunos años encima, no ha envejecido nada mal y sigue siendo divertido. La segunda guerra mundial esta muy bien representada a nivel histórico y es uno de los mejores juegos que se han hecho acerca de dicho conflicto. Totalmente recomendado

    I would give it a 7.5 because some of the "difficulty" comes from enemies that 2 shot you on full health, that is when your screen isnt red. But really, its a great game, all the campaigns have its own feel and I dont hate any of the missions, well scripted.

    Para un fan de los juegos de la segunda guerra mundial era un pecado no jugar a este título, empezando ya 2021 me decidí a jugar a este vieja joya y este fue el resultado:

    Probablemente la mejor ambientación de un juego de la WWII, tanto de los escenarios, con las banderas Nazis que todavía en aquel 2005 los juegos no dudaban en poner, la banda sonora es perfecta de ambiente bélico

    Probablemente la mejor ambientación de un juego de la WWII, tanto de los escenarios, con las banderas Nazis que todavía en aquel 2005 los juegos no dudaban en poner, la banda sonora es perfecta de ambiente bélico impecable.

    La jugabilidad es fantástica incluso hoy en día, sorprenderá a más de uno como se sienten ciertas armas disparando a objetivos.

    El diseño de niveles no se queda atrás con un frenetismo que le pega muy bien y sin olvidarse que sigue siendo un COD.

    La campaña abarca desde 1941 hasta 1945 el principio y el fin de la guerra, se echa de menos unas misiones con el Eje y la captura de Berlín pero en este tipo de juegos era norma general y no lo tomo como algo negativo ya que las misiones te llenan lo suficiente.

    El juego tiene sus errores, una IA que podría mejorar bastante y se nota que pusieron más cariño en la campaña de los Americanos se ve bastante mejor que las demás, tienen un error "histórico" poniendo a la División Azul combatiendo en Normandía y no la ponen en ningún momento en la campaña Rusa que fue donde combatió.

    En definitiva un juego para los amantes de este género bélico que no podéis pasar por alto por muchos años que pasen.

    Call of Duty 2 is one of the most memorable game in the COD trilogy.

    Pros: - WW2 setting - Shows the war's multiple faces (Eastern Front, Western Front and even the North African campaign) - Missions are superbly designed and really memorable - Historical Weapons feel awesome to use - Multiplayer is great Cons: - Outdated graphics (Game is from 2005 so yea it's obvious)

    Call of duty veterans! This is where atleast me and many other veterans started playing the game when the game was at its early stage and it had finaly improved its graphics and even gameplay over the first call of duty.
    The game has a well made Single player which is realy good since you are a Soldier just trying to survive the war and you go trough the RUSSIAN , BRITISH , and AMERICAN campaign which are different and impressive. Every map is a different experience all the time! It makes the game very very enjoyable and replayeble even after the 50th time!
    The gameplay is totaly improved and it feels much smoother than the original CoD which made me enjoy the game allot more than having frustating aiming which i sincerely hated in the original CoD.
    There are many guns and a few more added from the original and they are all fun shooting.

    The multiplayer is still alive! Steam may show that there's no one but trust me you will 100% find a server if your from the EU since there are many people playing the game! If you are a Balkan you will find a server with no problem where you will find your mates. Not saying that there are only Balkan servers there are ofcourse other servers which are in different lenguages.
    Multiplayer has like every cod the most famouse gamemodes like always so don't mind. But the game has some servers with zombies mod and other fun modes to just mess around with!

    The only issue you may have running this in windows 10 is that multiplayer may not work the fix I had was just waiting like 10 minutes for the blackscreen and it fixed it for me. If it doesn't then find some fixed and put the files that you have to put in the folder and try and wait like 10-15 mins again to see if it works. If you manage to get multiplayer running the second time you will have much less waiting for multiplayer so you don't have to wait 10-15 mins like the first time.

Don't listen to people that "the graphics suck", this is a game made in 2005 and these people who made fun of Call of Duty 2 don't know what they're talking about. It is also a good game for people who can't afford games like Call of Duty black ops 3 or OVERWATCH WHICH COSTS $60 and I think the price of Call of Duty 2 is worth it and it costs $19.99. For people who are playing this game for the first time, play single player mode first and go to campaign with NORMAL difficulty because playing in beginner mode will be easy and will be probably boring. Frankly I think it is the most realistic world war 2 game because if you take Call of duty world at war for example, they kinda exaggerated too much because one of the cutscence says we "out numbered the Germans 10:1" and they are describing the Russians as "Super heroes. While on Call of Duty 2, in the battle of Stalingrad it is true that Russians fought on buildings and especially on pipes. Also the Russians are not that strong because they use TNT's unlike on call of duty world at war they use BM-14's. I'm not saying that I hate call of duty world at war but I'm giving a comparison and not all games are perfect. The problem on Call of Duty 2 is that the multiplayer mode seems to be depleting but overall Call of Duty 2 is a great game. Expand

There are a bunch of little issues and things I didn't like about the game that prevent me from giving it a 10. It was definitely a well deserved 9/10. Expand

    Very intense fun gameplay, definitely better than all the newer CoDs. It has features that are finally being presented again in Ghosts, such as the lean feature.
    And surprisingly the graphics still hold up quite well today. I'll even go ahead and say this game has better textures than most modern games.

    The last great bastion of the Call of Duty series. Everything that has come since, with the exception of CoD 4: Modern Warfare, has been a carbon copy of its predecessor. The story, feel, and execution of this game in both campaign and multiplayer is solid and engaging. I look back fondly on it.

    Arguably the best Call of Duty game of the series. Excellent voice acting, graphics, and overall effects that added to the realism and immersion experience. Truly an amazing game.

    Additionally, the online multiplayer aspect of this game was phenomenal. I spent many hours of my fledgling online FPS career with this game (after a long hiatus from Counter-Strike made me extremely rusty) and it was a welcome substitute for CS.

    Call of Duty 2 is the best shooter game that I have played. Why? One of the most fun and addicting campaigns ever.

    The best fps shooter made to date. Great gameplay, great graphics for its time which are still very much playable. The fact it beats games brought out in 2012 is shamefull or those developers..... the games industry needs an injection of imagination.......

    My all time favourite call of duty, partly for nostalgia, mostly because this is the call of duty that separated cod from the rest of the gaming world, It was well thought out save for a couple of glitches, which actually made the game more fun to play because you could jump through a window and outside the map just for the hell of it as some servers were dedicated to nothing but this.My all time favourite call of duty, partly for nostalgia, mostly because this is the call of duty that separated cod from the rest of the gaming world, It was well thought out save for a couple of glitches, which actually made the game more fun to play because you could jump through a window and outside the map just for the hell of it as some servers were dedicated to nothing but this. otherwise the weapons were all laid out nicely, balanced apart from the higher capacity of one of the russian smg's and having stripper clips on the enfield rather than individual rounds like the mosin nagat or kar98k which made loading faster. after all of the call of duties being released to date, the custom maps, balanced teams and the fun I had far outweigh any of its flaws, and by flaws I mean call of duty 3,4,5,6,7,8 Expand

Each stage (American, British and Russian) is divided into seperate acts; whilst this might hurt the storytelling side of things, each level feels unique with an appropiate level of tactical choice. The graphics and sound are simply stunning; from fighting in the streets of Stalingrad to the Normandy landings; the chaotic and confusing nature of warfare rings through every single moment without ever letting up. Overall, though fans of more open-world MP games like Battlefiled will find much to be desired here, it still offers one heck of a viseral kick for the Single Player crowd. Expand

    A true gem of it's time. I continue to enjoy this game much more than the newer Call of Duty's despite the years due to its simplicity and pace. Single-player is lackluster in plot-line but provide very well made level-designs despite its linear progression.,

    After many Call of Duty games, I have to say that this is still the best Call of Duty in the market. The campaign is not so full of itself like our modern CoD games, it's just a simple World War 2 shooter with you playing as the three major Allies (Russian, Britian, U.S.).

The campaign itself plays out wonderfully, very fluid and memorable quotes from Price. The multiplayer is mostly why I write this review now. This has the multiplayer that the current CoD games should have sticked with. Instead of grinding your profile in order to get better weapons, all the weapons are available to you right from the start, each having their ups and downs, but a very balanced set of weapons so that you don't have to worry about a overpowered weapon (which happens a lot in the current CoD games). The original maps were very well layed out, making camping a lot less viable than in the current CoD games. Though this game is very old and not many play this anymore, I decided it would be right to write a review of my favorite CoD game and hope the best that they can bring back the way multiplayer used to be. Until then, the CSS is still very active so there's that. Expand

    The best Call Of Duty and World War 2 game that I've ever played! Very immersive game, the sound is loud and realistic. A long game, if compared with its predecessors. I recommend this game for all the fans of first person shooters, especially for those of the WW2.

    Slightly Repetitive. Nice Design, way better than any of this new stupid rambo style adventure call of duty franchise. This is probablly one of the best shooters ever made. It just lacks good tactics and it feels like a Run N gun the entire time. Very fun and addicting if you dont mind running through shooting everything.

As always in call of duty games you see the war from differant perspectives. first you'll be trying to retake you homeland when you play as a russian soldier Vasili Koslov.

Then you take part in the Brittish Commonwelth forces in the African campain and Normandy. Than you land at Piont Du Hock with the second ranger bentallion. The single player campain is intence and engrossing however it lacked an indepth story and charicters. The game kind of seemed like a wicked insane history lesson. While I apressiate the nolage it has given me it still would've been nice to see some well developed charicters thatwould actualy have personallitys. But with of without story or charicters this game rocks. The weapons were satisfyingly authentic and a delight to use. The single player was good. But its only half the fun. The multi-player is very well done. It is fair and very fun. One thing that I'v only seen in this game is killcam. Killcam lets you see how someone killed you from a first person perspective. So now things arn't going to be as frusterating and people have second thoughts about cheating. The modes are deathmatch, team deathmatch, search and destroy, HQ.and my personal favorite capture the flag. All these modes are great and overall this game is one of my personal recamendations for world war 2 shooters. Expand

    Graphically quite nice and relentless action from start to finish but it does get a bit repetitive and I miss the quieter exploration sections of story-based FPSs. If you just want stripped-down linear action without the boring bits, this one's for you!

    Pulling its trigger condenses everything that's right about Call of Duty 2 into a single moment. Online or off it is the epitome of visceral thrill seeking.

    I find implementing regenerating health to be a little troublesome. It allows you to experience a kind of combat only a mythical super-soldier could withstand, and in so doing, propels the game from gritty authenticity to John Woo fantasy.
