    A fantastic WWII shooter

     
    Call of Duty is a very intense experience and while I was playing it I was very impressed how Call of Duty conveyed the claustrophobic and apocalyptic atmosphere the World War II without being unecessary gory or overstylized. The game mixes stealthy passages with larger battles, which include squad action, tanks (fighting them, and driving them). The level design is grim and gritty and playing the game for a few hours prolonges can make you feel quite unsettled, which is a good thing for a game that is supposed to portray a horrible part of history such as the WWII. The squad combat is limited and not a focus of the game, it seems that the fate of your companions does not alter your own fate at all but it adds a lot to the atmosphere. Much work has been put into details to render the game more haunting and  realistic, ammo shortage (picking up your enemies' weapons is an apt alternative) or shellshock.
     
    An intense and thrilling experience, as well as relatively accurate (historically). Very recommended

      The first in one the best series' ever 0

      World War II games have been around for a long time. It started with Medal of Honor and moved to battlefield. Then it was Call of Duty. Of course, the setting began to get overused and boring. But Call of Duty was around when WWII games were still great. The game puts you in as an American one campaign, a British the second, and of course, a Russian the third. The highlight of the game teamwork. The problem with Medal of Honor was it's "1 man army" missions (the great majority). In Call of Duty,...
