Call of Duty

This computer game is just amazing, here you get the most intense feeling of WWII you have ever seen and if you have played this game you know that the war wasn´t very heroic!

In this game you fight for the american army, the British armed forces and the russian red army. On american side, you take part in the D-Day (but not at Omaha, you are a parachute-soldier) together with your comrades, in most of the mission you are just a normal soldier between lots of others. You also have a leader who gives you orders during the mission so it feels very realistic. After the american campaign you fight for the british, here you are more like an elite soldier and this is the only campaign where you may feel as a hero because you bombed away the "Edertalsperre" or have stolen important documents. But in the next campaign this is over because as a russian there can´t be found anything heroic. I think this campaign is the best because this campaign shows how the war really was. In germany you cant only get this game if you are 18 or older or have parents who buy it for you ;)! But this is ok because in this game there isn´t much blood but you see hundreds and thousands of allied and german soldiers dieing in huge battles! As a russian you a part of the battle at Stalingrad and you also play as a tank commander, so this campaign really is the best.

This game also has good soun effects and graphic but the only negative point is: It´s too short, you just need less than 10 hours to pass the single-player mode. The multiplayer mode is also good but nothing special, there are some new gametypes but thats all. So if you like intense games, buy this one, it´s really great!

The first game of the series. That's probably why I remember her so much. Developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, Call of Duty offered players an unparalleled experience, immersing them in the realities of World War II with unprecedented realism and drama.

And she was just gorgeous. And I've played it many times. The first thing I would like to note is the extraordinary nature of the actions. I played a little bit of various computer games, so it was a pleasant surprise to me that you are fighting for an ordinary soldier who is operating at the front with thousands of the same ordinary guys. This is not an elite special forces soldier or some other kind of soldier. This is an ordinary person who defends his Homeland, goes into battle with others, sees the death of comrades and enemies, makes history himself. And such an action immerses you much more into the reality of the events taking place in those distant years. After all, you literally find yourself at the front. Other games are perceived as just games, but this one made me feel different emotions.

The first thing that strikes you about Call of Duty is its attention to detail. The game perfectly conveys the atmosphere of military operations thanks to carefully recreated locations based on real historical events. Missions taking place on the battlefields of Europe offer diverse and exciting scenarios, which makes the gameplay intense and unpredictable.

The game has three segments, three different campaigns, where you will have to fight for American, British and Soviet soldiers. The missions are full of variety. Somewhere you run with a rifle or a machine gun through the streets of the city and forests, somewhere you control a tank, and in one of the missions you even fly on an airplane and shoot back at enemy fighters. All this does not let you get bored at the moments of passing. Players are faced with difficulties, heroism and the horrors of war, which clearly demonstrates how terrifying these events were.

The graphics are decent: sounds, effects, music - everything is on top. You have to choose which weapon to carry, because you can take a maximum of two heavy objects. First-aid kits are presented in different versions, they will treat the hero accordingly. Explosions look great, shootouts are full of sounds and effects. The creators also paid attention to the change of seasons, when there is snow and steam coming from the mouth, to the explosive mixture of mud and blood near Stalingrad, to green forests and meadows in missions in Europe. This is a very decent result for 2003.

The graphics and sound in Call of Duty deserve the highest praise. For its time, the game offered excellent visualization, with detailed models of characters and environments. The soundtrack, which includes realistic sounds of shooting, explosions and commands, immerses you even more into the atmosphere of war. The soundtrack, created by Michael Giacchino, complements this effect and enhances the tension and drama of what is happening on the screen.

The game is great for its time. And even now I sometimes overplay it. Let it be outdated, but it takes its hardcore, decent realism in terms of graphics and plunges into the world of the most terrible war ever fought.

9 out of 10.

Call of Duty borrowed heavily from war movies that were around at the time. It put you right into the action. Having to run over and use med packs slowed people down a bit but it was slighting more realistic than sitting behind cover and healing up. There were many missions that had endlessly respawning troops but this game also broke those levels up with ones with finite troops. The action was good and solid. Nothing was ever so straight forward that you were always safe. You needed both ability as well as strategic understanding. They never skimped on voice actors either. I hadn't realized it at the time but action hero Jason Statham was the voice of SGT. Waters!! The graphics are dated now but the action and challenge are as solid as ever. I also liked the fact that the game would provide historical references to the battles and their significance. Well Done!!

If you love world war II movies, you will love this game. It's like being part of the best world war II movies I've seen... everything is absolutely stunning in terms of presentation, and you can knock your house down with the rumblings of gunfire if you have a decent set of speakers on your computer- I've seen high budget movies that don't capture the chilling snarl of gunfire in the same manner.

The voice acting is excellent... yes, that IS Jason Statham of "The Transporter" and "The Italian Job"! Everything is put together in a manner deserving of a high-budget movie. The charge on Stalingrad in tha later parts of the game seems eerily familiar if you've seen "Enemy at the Gates"... only, this is better because *you're* part of the action!

They really went all out on this game, and it shows. Highly recommended!

I've seen some appalling reviews in this place and I thought I should rectify the shot from some of the reviewers. What is Call of Duty aside from a WWII shooter? Well, just that. It's a world-war 2 shooter with an aspect centered a lot more on the war rather than a large-scale vendetta against Nazis. Medal Of Honor played like this chunky three-legged script-o-rama. You felt rather weak in front of soldiers that could smack you, while all you could do is stand there and shoot them. It was a great shooter, but I don't think MOH: AA ever set any kind of milestone. Nor was it an objective ever to beat MOH. Call of Duty literally SPITS on MOH:AA.

Its gameplay is better, its sound is better, its scenarisation is better, hell the NAME itself is a lot more enticing. Call of Duty will give you something MOH: AA could never have. And that's -SWEAT-. In MOH: AA , it wasn't unlikely to be seen running through enemy lines just blasting away with your thompson smg. Now? If you even pop your head out, you're almost dead: That's if you play the game on Veteran difficulty.

People saying that this game is too easy have just played it on Greenhorn (easiest difficulty). Is this an MOH: AA killer? You bet it is. Gone are the heavy and pointless infiltration scenes: There is one but I'm sure the people at 2015 just wanted to mock MOH's faults by making it extremely short a mission. See, Call of Duty doesn't mess around and try to be more than it really is. It tells you flat out: You're gonna be fighting a war here, boy. Saddle up.

And it never lets go.
