    The best war game I've ever played. Graphics are more realistic and maps are bigger than Counter Strike Source.

    Perfection is an understatement. Though there are many multiplayer WWII shooters that can easily top the online aspect of CoD2, the single player is one that will leave you breathless and with your jaw flat on the floor.

    One of the best games I've ever played. Great graphics and great level design. To all of those people who complain about the levels or gameplay, it's a WW2 shooter. It's not UT.

    more of the same and for me that aint a bad thing at all why change if it aint broken. also count yourslef lucky because those people who got a eggbox360 have to fork out £20 more for a game that is no way as good as the PC version.

    CoD2 is a huge improvement on CoD1. The new physics sytem built from the ground up showing its quality throughout the single player game. Though SP can be challenging, the new bar-less health system enables people to play without fear of dooming themselves later on. Models and graphics all look amazing and almost as good as half life2. Multi-player is also highly polished, with CoD2 is a huge improvement on CoD1. The new physics sytem built from the ground up showing its quality throughout the single player game.

Multi-player is also highly polished, with regenrating helath playin little part in the game, as all it takes is one well aimed bullet to force you to respawn. Smoke grenades and lower ping time mean games are more challenging and smoother. All ht eold maps are there with a couple of new ones, but re-edited to make them more streamlined and to prevent the experienced gamer form getting too complacent. Overall extremely worth the price.… Expand

    Call of Duty 2 is in my opinion the best WW2 Game on the market. I love this paking atmosphere as in Call of Duty. The story is exciting and the mission varied. The graphic is also good and so I think that Call of Duty 2 is good successor. I am happy, when the third part will be released.

    This is truly a masterpiece. The removal of the health bar from COD 1 and the improved physics of the character's movement is impressive, and the multiplayer maps have been enhanced and updated. The soldiers' uniforms have also improved. The fact that I can see this despite my poor graphics card is enough for me.

    The only negative points I have are that to play COD2 with reasonable graphics and steady-flowing gameplay the user must have a computer that is relatively new. An excessive number of bodies on the battlefields can also slow down the computer, and there are plenty of those wherever you look.
    Overall, I think the bots are much better and the multiplayer maps are well-structured.

    When something is this well done, just because you've seen it all before doesn't mean it's not worth seeing again.

    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.
