    This game does not even touch MOHAA. I could not stop laughing at the comical graphics and movement in this piece of .....That is until I remember I wasted $50 on it.

I thought I was in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and all the Umpa Lumpas went mad and started killing everyone. Oh, and talk about crappy sound. Every sound in the game is one dimensional. Don't buy into the hype...this game is garbage. I really wanted a better version of MOHAA, but this is a joke.… Expand

    Single player is rubbish.
    Multiplayer is rubbish.
    Graphics for 2003 game: oh my god how bad they are. Half life 2 and Doom 3 came half year later, look their graphics.
    So: sp 2/10 mp 2/10 graphics: 1/10 sound 2/10 musics 5/10
    Sorry CoD fans.

Operation Flashpoint/Ghost Recon are both superior and Americas Army online kicks a$$ compared to this......and that's an ok game...but it's FREE and has a new release soon.… Expand

    What a piece of crap! This game never worked on gaming P/C (Athalon 2500+ ATI 9200, 1GB RAM, 80GB W/D). Contacted Activision for support and never replied. Called, put on hold then hung up on TWICE. Don't waste your time.

    In all honesty, I can't see what all the fuss is about. For the most part, it feels almost precisely like any old arcade shooter.

    After further online play I'd have to revise my score and give it a 4. If the multiplayer wasn't so horrible and nasty, and the singleplayer hadn't been so extreemly short, it would have scored higher. People who like WWII FPSs would do MUCH better to go out and buy Battlefield 1942.

    Bu oyunun can mantığı gerçekten çok kötü. Seriyi genel olarak sevmeyen biri olarak özellikle günümüz şartlarında eğerlendirince hiçbir şey kalmıyor geriye.

    Почти все оружие стреляет отвратительно бесят NPS напарники они такие тупые что просто жесть никого просто убить не могут. Говорят мне уничтожить танки а сами меня даже не прикрывают также и с самолётами.

    Поиграл полчаса. Игра устарела. Яркость сама по себе меняется. Не могу почему-то выставить разрешение 1600*1200 (максимальное разрешение, которое при этом ниже разрешения моего монитора). В начале игры тебе показывают обучение на уровне "выстрели на лкм". Только проблема в том, что я застрял на одном этапе обучения, непонятно, что делать.Поиграл полчаса. Игра устарела.

    The game has a good story and good gameplay for the time. However, those times are long gone and this game cannot live up to modern standards. You get what you pay for and any reviews over 7 out of ten are most likely due to the individual’s nostalgia for it. This review does not take into account of nostalgia, the age of the game or the price but solely on quality.

    The campaign is focused on small historical moments and the controlled character has any name that is irrelevant to the story.
    The gameplay is difficult, a little strange to play nowadays.
    As the gameplay is locked it's even easy to finish the campaign on the hardest difficulty, but it's boring.

    For the price it is sold, I don't recommend it even on sale.    … Expand

    i hate this f*cking game 1.nps they are CHEATERS! they have no recoil and this is especially evident on a machine gun when they shoot at you and you can’t even look out to kill him NO he will hit you 389 million times when you look out for 1 second 2.

    However, taking away all the glamour, polish and hype this title has, what you’ll be presented with is rather linear game with fairly limited replay ability. We did however find the single player campaigns surprisingly short.

    Call of Duty is going to turn heads. It looks amazing, the action is fierce, and the multiplayer game is balanced, with plenty of diverse settings. [Jan 2004, p.58]

    The most intensive war action first person shooter combat title yet. I have not played a single-player experience that is as immersive and intense as the one in Call of Duty.
