    This game really returns you in that time. World war. Honestly there are a lot of games with WWII but many are not good. Yes I know, were fashionable in year 2003. However, a good game.

    A long time ago, back when Activision strived for releasing a new game every time they released a game, Call of Duty was without a doubt the best non-science fiction shooter.

The gritty World War II classic was one of the first major fps' to feature a lean function in campaign, and was also one of the first to introduce the 2-weapon rule, adding to the realism. The gameplay was smooth and non-clunky, hitting an enemy model varied in damage depending on the location of the hit, and the hardest difficulty level offered players a "fair" battle, where an enemy could kill you very easily. Best of all, the depictions of various historical elements were actually....CoD hates this today...accurate!… Expand

    Man. The only Call Of Duty that works. You are in World War 2. A shooter like no other will but will put you through nostalgia. As graphics still continue to develop in the 00's, This will still blow your ming because this idea was way out of it's time.

    Surprisingly, this is one of the best games in the series. She's probably only a 4-part better. Many elements in the COD2 are made worse than in the original. The game is perfectly played in 2019, after that even as that funny look at BFV. A 16 years later, the singleplane at BFV looks a lot worse... One of the best games about World War II.

Звуки тоже. Стрельба не очень понравилась. Когда стреляешь в прицеле ты ничего не видишь из-за огня.В советской кампании есть много клюквы, но как минус я это не поставлю.

    Definately deserve good ratings. No wall running and gadgets but pure classic action. Except few missions where you feel as if the developers had forcibly included some irrelevant sequences, every mission of the game is varied and incredibly tense unlike the newer Battlefield games that tries to mimick it.

    The first Call of Duty is where it all began and what inspired a series of good sequels, along with the cashflow milking cow that it has become today. The original game shined with excellent AI, a solid story and fluent mechanics.

    Call of Duty revolves around the events of the second world war. Although this concept is nothing new and used many times before, it is one of the more stable, balanced and straightforward ones that was around at the time. The main difference with other WWII franchises is that you play as multiple countries that fought in the war like Russia, Great Brittan and the United States.

    You start as Private Martin, a paratrooper that has been sent behind enemy lines in the events of D-Day. His platoon is scattered badly and nowhere is were he should be. You mission is to disable Flak guns and artillery positions to grant the soldiers some slack that are fighting on the beaches.

    Then, the perspective switches over to Sergeant Evans, in the British army.
    After participating in Operation Tonga, you are transferred to the commando SAS unit, which is then tasked with sabotaging the Eder Dam. After that, you infiltrate the battleship Tirpitz with Sergeant Price and a small squad. You discover plans from the Germans in which they are about to launch their feared V-2 rockets. You destroy the rockets before joining your squad mates in the battles ahead.

    You also play as Corporal Alexei, starting at the battle for Stalingrad. Your heroic deeds get you promoted to Sergeant and after many battles with lots of lives lost, you enter Berlin and conquer the city with your fellow squad mates, ending the war.

    The first Call of Duty is the only game in the series that implements the health bar. Although opinions differ about what system is better, I preferred the search for health kits and keeping track of your current vitality. It is what makes an FPS interesting and challenging in my opinion. Medal of Honor is another franchise that shined in this mechanic, by finding soldier canteens.

    Call of Duty looked beautiful back then and, even to today, still does. Surely it aged and the graphics can be considered ancient, but the detail remains fair enough. The small blood effects and explosions are still great. The sound effects are still solid. All the sounds of guns firing and grenades that explode are still awesome. I like the Kar98 sound effects the most, it is just a solid blast when you fire your single bullet towards the enemy.

    What sets Call of Duty apart is its excellent AI, especially for the time. Enemies and squad mates “do their own thing” and are focused on the battles ahead. There is also a solid balance between the focus on you and the AI on each other. You can surprise an enemy from the side because he is busy fighting with another soldier and does not notice you yet.

    The expansion pack, United Offensive, I did not play. This was only because my PC back then, would not read the disc properly. This is something that I want to complete at least once in the future.

    Call of Duty will always remain a true classic and, even today, it is still played widely, although many servers are now fun and hack servers with some crazy sh!t going on. There are custom made maps in toy block landscapes, obstacle courses, you name it.

    It is a shame that the series nowadays is a business model in which the same crap is released every year and kids today do not know how great the series was back then, but before I turn into a complete grandpa again, that is all I will say about it.

    I definitely still recommend this true original classic.    … Expand

    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.
