Call of Duty


What is it? - its a great simulation of world war 2 that has been one of the most popular game in the world.

Game Profile - more then 80 game of the year award winner.

The good about it - Great simulation of WW2 that can bring tear in your eyes.

The bad about it - game ends very quickly in single player.

I rate it - 9.5/10


Call of Duty puts you in the midst of the biggest and baddest battles of WWII. The United States, Great Britain, and Russia are your friends, and Nazi Germany is the enemy. It is your job to infiltrate, destroy, and then escape the clutches of the enemy in missions stretching all over Europe. Sound like fun yet?

In the single player game you are a member of the United States, Great Britain, and Russian military all with their own set of missions critical to the success of the Allied Forces. The missions range from rescuing a captured captain, shooting down planes at an enemy airfield, and even riding in the back of an escaping military truck while the bad guys hunt you down.

You have a large arsenal of machine guns, grenades, rifles, and other arms from the time period. Each weapon is correctly associated with the nation you are currently representing. One of the greatest things about the weapons is the ability to grab just about everything you can see in the battlefield. Are you a little low on ammo? Smoke that footsoldier in your way with the last few rounds and grab his MP40 sub-machine gun. You are instantly back in the action using all the weapons and ammo at your disposal.

This is no run and gun frag fest. In keeping with the theme, the enemy is no slouch either. They move in teams, will use whatever cover they can find to defend their positions or make advances on your side, and will react to events like shots whizzing by their heads, or a grenade landing beside them. Throw a grenade into a room and the enemy will panic and scatter, right into your machine gun fire. One of the best aspects of the single player game is the mix of individual action and team play. You must rely on your teammates to provide covering fire or take an objective for you while you provide the suppressing fire, but there are times when it is up to you to save the day. While this may not be historically accurate, this is still a video game, and a little heroism always makes for a good time! Running and walking have been replaced with various stances: standing, crouching and prone (belly-down) positions, each with a trade off between speed and shot accuracy. Hint: don't get caught by enemy machine gun fire in the prone position without cover, or you are hotdog filler. One thing I did notice about the movement that is a bit bothersome is that it is easy to get 'snagged' on various objects in the environment, rather than slipping around or over it. Another minor issue is that teammates will not move unless you target them and press your primary fire. It's uncommon but not impossible to get stuck behind or in front of a teammate headed in the other direction and get cut down by and enemy, as happened to me in one of the British missions.

Call of Duty is definitely a Game-of-the-Year contender for the PC. Its cinematic qualities will have you sweating in your seat, and the multiplayer aspects will have you logging on long after you've completed the single player mode. Future add-ons will include new mods, maps, and weapons to keep the replayablily consistently high. I recommend this game to all FPS fans. Developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision (who recently purchased Infinity Ward), Call of Duty is out now.

Now see some in-game images to see how play like.
















This is when you start your game alone and follow up your teammates. Here your first real mission will be started and you will be attacking german militant and war machines to capture this place as our military base.
















They are german forces having some attack on your US forces your mission is to crush them and go ahead for your next mission.
















Now, in above screenshot, after completing about 70% of the game you are arriving to berlin as russian forces. As the team of Hitler, german forces are firing millions of bullets with mg-42 on your russian team and you have to manage to climb up the slave to head to berlin.















Finally, You will capture the german flag from the Headquater of Adolf Hitler and the game will end and credits will began.

Once more I would like to that this game is greatest world war 2 simulation of them all.
