Über das Spiel
In der Einzelspieler-Kampagne erleben Sie als alliierter Soldat ein paar der härtesten Kämpfe des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Der Erfolg Ihres Trupps, das Erfüllen der Mission und auch das eigene überleben hängt davon ab, wie gut Sie sich fortbewegen, wie gut Sie schießen und - was wohl am entscheidendsten sein dürfte - wie gut Sie mit ihren Teamkameraden zusammenarbeiten.
In Call of Duty 2 werden die ganze Intensität und die Wirren des Krieges aus der Perspektive normaler Soldaten gezeigt, die zusammen in den Schlachten des Zweiten Weltkriegs kämpfen. Dank der genialen Grafiken der neuen COD2-Engine werden die Kämpfe in der Fortsetzung der Version des Jahres 2003 von 'Call of Duty', Gewinner von über 80 Auszeichnungen der Kategorie 'Spiel des Jahres', gewaltiger, intensiver und realistischer dargestellt als je zuvor.
Die Nummer Eins unter den Shooter-Entwicklern mit dem Thema des Zweiten Weltkriegs kehrt zurück mit einem mitreißenden neuen Spieleerlebnis: Entwickelt von Infinity Ward, den Machern des Hits Call of Duty. Dank der revolutionären COD2-Engine, innovativer KI und der wählbaren Spielmechanik erleben Sie beispiellose Neuerungen von lebensechten Grafiken bis hin zum überwältigend realistischen Gameplay. Die überzeugende Darstellung von Schnee, Regen, Nebel und Rauch in Kombination mit dynamischen Licht- und Schatteneffekten machen dieses Spiel zum bislang beeindruckendsten Shooter vor der Kulisse des Zweiten Weltkriegs.
Neue Konflikte und Feinde: Call of Duty 2 steht für gewaltigere Schlachten, mehr Panzer, größere Kampfeinheiten und Bildschirm-Explosionen; kurzum, für Kampfhandlungen noch größeren Umfangs auf verschiedenen europäischen Kriegsschauplätzen. Bekämpfen Sie den 'Wüstenfuchs' in der sengenden Hitze Nordafrikas, während ein feindlicher Panzer nach dem anderen auf Ihre Panzer trifft. Verwenden Sie raketengetriebene Wurfanker, um mit Ihrer Truppe von Army Rangers die Klippen von Pointe du Hoc zu erklimmen und den unerbittlichen deutschen Gegenangriff abzuwehren. Kämpfen Sie sich als Panzerjäger im kriegsgeschüttelten Russland durch im Chaos versunkene Städte.
Auf Ihr Team ist absolut Verlass: Dutzende alliierter Soldaten überwachen die ständig wechselnde Lage und informieren Sie mittels eines brandneuen, kontextbezogenen Gefechtsfunksystems über alles Wichtige. Sie ziehen feindliches Feuer auf sich, halten Ihnen den Rücken frei, benutzen Schützenlöcher und fahrende Panzer als Deckung und warnen Sie vor anrückenden feindlichen Truppen und gegnerischem Beschuss.
Wählbarer Spielablauf: Spielen Sie die Missionen in beliebiger Reihenfolge durch. Möchten Sie erst die Rolle eines Scharfschützen oder die eines Panzerkommandanten übernehmen? Die Entscheidung liegt bei Ihnen. Schlachten ohne festgelegten Ausgang ermöglichen es Ihnen, Ihre Taktik individuell zu gestalten und die Reihenfolge der von Ihnen in Angriff genommenen Missionen zu bestimmen.
Atemberaubende Multiplayer-Action: Kämpfen Sie in unvergesslichen Online-Schlachten zwischen Achsenmächten und Alliierten, und lassen Sie sich in den Bann dieses actiongeladenen Teamplayer-Spiels auf Basis der erfolgreichen Multiplayer-Modi von Call of Duty ziehen.

The game starts out with a tutorial, which includes the famous scene of practising grenade throwing with potatoes. After that, it's a seven to eight hour thrill ride with almost no slowing down. Something the CoD series has been known for since the beginning. There are three campaigns included, one for each of the Russian, British and American armies. The game is very scripted, almost everything has to be done in a certain way and there is very little freedom for the player – also just like CoD campaigns are known for. This scripted nature can be frustrating at times I gotta say.
I didn't try the multiplayer mode. Not my cup of tea.
The graphics hold up pretty well for a game this old, although I have to say that by the time this was released, both Half-Life 2 and F.E.A.R. were already out, and both of those games are much more appealing in terms of the visuals, and also the gameplay.
On the technical side, I have to mention that CoD 2 runs perfectly on modern systems. You don't have to fiddle around with things like widescreen fixes or compatibility modes. The game supports widescreen resolutions including 1080p, has proper UI scaling and doesn't limit the frame rate in any way. Very nice indeed! I had no crashes or other problems with the game during my playthrough, while rocking frame rates of more than 500 fps, which is of course more than you would ever need.
Well, do I recommend this game? Difficult question. On some level, I like Medal of Honor: Allied Assault a bit more, but that might be for nostalgia reasons. The sometimes frustrating nature of how the campaign wants to be played is a bummer, MoH: Allied Assault seems to be a bit more open and varied. Overall, it's a good campaign and doesn't get boring all the way through, so if you can get if for cheap (like 5 bucks or less), I could give a recommendation. For its standard price of 20 though, I would give it a pass.
Similar games I can recommend: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Medal of Honor: Airborne, Enemy Front, Sniper Elite V2, Call of Duty: World at War and maybe Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.

Was daran sehr besonders ist und wahr:
Ein Mapeditor mit dem konnte man seine eigene Multiplayer maps erstellen. Sowie ein dedicated server ist dabei.
Mit den heutigen Call of Dutys ist dies nicht mehr zu vergleichen.
Damals konnten die Gilden noch ihre Server schützen vor Hacker und cheatern. In der heutigen Zeit ist dies nicht mehr möglich. Da Activision das alte system abgeschafft hat. Somit haben es die Hacker noch leichter.
Ich wünschte mir die guten alten Zeiten wieder!

Multiplayer: Hab ich voller Vorfreude gestartet ... kurz um: Absoluter Schrott!
Mehr Bots als alles andere und nein das liegt nicht an zu wenig Humans... die sind durchhaus vorhanden aber in 99% spielt man mit oder gegen Bots.... nicht ein einziger Server auf dem wie früher, ohne schnick schnack gespielt wird...
unzählige Mods auf den Servern, bei jedem zweiten Server gibt es eine unfassbar hässliche Menü Oberfläche, inkl. grausamen Sound gratis dazu.... Also für 20 € ist es eine absolute Frechheit...
Finde es sehr schade, habe es lang ausprobiert und gehofft irgendwann einen Server zu finden bei dem mir einer abgeht weil man ganz simpel wie damals ein wegballern kann.... aber leider vergeblich......
Also dieses Spiel bleibt wie die erste Liebe eine schöne Erinnerung, nicht mehr und nicht weniger.....

Schade allerdings ist, dass die Server alle so durchgemoddet sind, das gefühlt bei jedem zweiten Server irgendein Error kommt, nachdem man zu viele Dinge heruntergeladen hat. Weiß nicht, ob das bei euch auch so ist.
Es gibt ein paar Server, die sind mit Bots, aber die finde ich gut, die allerdings widerum kein Voting erlauben und keine Zeitbegrenzung haben. D.h. man verbleibt da einen halben Tag auf der gleichen Map, würde man sie spielen.
Ansonsten super.

Consist three different campaign for nations. Starting from Soviets to British and lastly Yankees. Being from winter war, desert tanking and bunker trench wars. Great selection of weapons to most common WW2 weaponry, but including the bit more rarer ones to see like Bren LMG or PPS-42. Especially towards later campaign missions you get the more nice weaponry to go with instead of bolt locks and the like.
Even though have fairly low opinion on CoD as series, this is one of the games that can highly recommend playing even after all these years.

Back in the day i thought the grafics were a big leap forward compared to the first game, but in retrospect, the two really aren’t that far from each other in terms of overall visual quality. Of course, the animations are smoother, the textures are a bit sharper, the colors are a bit more vibrant and everything is slightly more detailed, but in total CoD 2‘s grafics haven’t aged much better than those of its predecessor. Same goes for the sound, music and basically every other aspect of the presentation as well: It was decent in 2005, it is still somewhat serviceable in 2021, but there is absolutely nothing that differentiates CoD 2 from CoD 1 in major ways.
Everything said about the presentation is also true for the gameplay. By the time CoD 2 came out, the market was already totally saturated with WWII themed shooters. The only big innovation that CoD 2 can claim for itself is that it established the regenerating health mechanic in fps, which was divisive in 2005/2006, but in hindsight was a huge deal, since 9 out of 10 fps post 2005 use this mechanic instead of health pick-ups. In terms of the missions and weapons, there was no famous WWII battle, vehicle or weapon system that hadn’t been totally exploited at this point, so you were just storming the same old Stalingrads, Normandy Beaches, Bretagne villages and African deserts once again for the tenth time, shooting the same old guns and driving the same old tanks.
But there was a reason why the WWII fps genre went basically dormant for longer than a decade shortly after CoD 2‘s release, and that was because you just couldn’t do it any better than this. CoD 2 didn’t do anything new for the genre (apart from the mentioned regenerating health), but due to its overall excellent design and extremely cinematic approach it even managed to top the spectacle of the first CoD and became the definitive title of the genre. Every subsequent WWII fps tried to dethrone CoD 2 and sometimes even came close, but in the end failed at it. Even more than 15 years later CoD 2 is among the top 5, maybe even top 3 WWII fps of all time, hence an absolute must-play.
It’s just a bit shocking that this 16 years old game still sells for 20 Euro. Not that the game itself wouldn’t still be worth every penny of it anymore, but Activision‘s price policy is more than questionable in this case.
( ) 0/8 Simply one of the worst games ever made. Don't waste any money on this.
( ) 1/8 Bad. Seriously flawed with barely any redeeming qualities. Worth a couple of Cents at best, if at all.
( ) 2/8 Sub-par. Only for hardcore-fans of respective genre / series. Don't pay more than 5 bucks.
( ) 3/8 Meh-diocre. It‘s okay. Don't pay more than 10 bucks.
( ) 4/8 Decent, but not for everybody. Don't pay more than 15 bucks.
( ) 5/8 Good game, Must-play for genre- / series-fans. Worth 20 to 25 bucks max, if you are not a fan.
(X) 6/8 Great game, universal recommendation. 30 bucks would be a steal for this.
( ) 7/8 Outstanding game, a milestone of it‘s respective genre. Definitely worth its full prize.
( ) 8/8 Simply one of the best games ever made. Get this, the prize doesn't matter.

How ever, this absolute gem of a game isn't scared to attempt to portray WW2 as accurately as possible. Another thing in this game that I do not feel is appreciated enough is the games friendly AI. The friendly AI are MORE than capable of holding off the enemy and do so with such efficiency that there were times that I knew Germans were pouring in the door behind me whilst I was manning an MG42 and I knew that I did not need to worry because the friendly AI would deal with them. The game also makes the AI do tasks that would, these days, ALWAYS fall on you to do. I have been so conditioned by modern day shooters that when I played recently, I was taken back when our Sgt told some random soldier to destroy a half-track. There were other times where the AI would breach a building by themselves and throw grenades in without any of my help. This is what really makes this game stand out in my eyes, as it does an amazing job at making you feel like 'just another soldier' in a much larger war.
I believe that modern games need to go back to this sort of game play, and not always have you play as some sort of jumped-up spec-ops operator taking on the entire enemy army with just 3 other blokes. Playing as a seemingly expendable soldier and charging enemy positions with 20+ others is what makes a WW2 game feel immersive and awe-inspiring. But, unfortunately, the people who makes these games today are either being completely restricted by Activision. or they have absolutely no idea what makes the older CoD so, so much better than any of the sh-i-te they are churning out these days.

So after many Years & Games i am back.
++ Story Modus is still fine. A lot of different Missions like Tank Battles & other Stuff in 3 different Settings (North Africa Desert , Russian Winter & France)
+/-Graphic really aged on higher Resolution. Some Ruins & Single Rooms are very empty.
++ Sound is still fine
++ Gameplay is still fine (sometimes my Crosshair moved a bit, but good Control, many Weapons)
+++ Even on Easy i die a lot because of Grenades and rushing into a bunch of Enemies & you have 3 higher Difficults to Challenge
Would be worth to make a Remake/ Remaster with Call of Duty with new Graphics, not to hard Steam Achievements, 5 Trading Cards
I really love it
--- Price so old still 20 Euros, 10 Euros on Sale, what a Shame
-Multiplayer sadly dead (nice Map Design what a waste)
so try get it for 5 Euros or less & hopefully enjoy a little bit classic/ retro play <3
Thx 4 reading

Call of Duty 2 offers what is probably the greatest COD campaign experience from a game-play perspective due to it being relatively free of the overreaching grasp of post Modern Warfare COD games (most of the time). Often, you've a few ways to approach objectives and in some of the games best moments, you're flooded with objectives which you can tackle in any order you like. The game is challenging but not to a point of frustration (on hardened, veteran may prove otherwise however) with simple but gratifying gun-play, and despite the fact that you're capable of being a one man army at times, it makes you feel as if you're part of an actual squad of soldiers.
The three campaigns contrast each other really well, with the American campaign being the most epic/cinematic, the British campaign being the most action packed, and the Soviets finding themselves somewhere in the middle. These campaigns will take you through Normandy, Northern Africa and Russia during some of the wars most iconic battles (D-Day, Stalingrad, El Alamein etc.) with great success in terms of making you feel like you're a part of it all. While there is a lack of any real personal story, I feel like that's for the better here, as I had mentioned prior that this is a very game-play focused COD. The fact it's so game-play oriented in terms of its singleplayer campaign really does wonders for replayability as well, as the first thing I wanted to do when finishing the campaign was to go back in and ramp the difficulty all the way up.
In terms of its mechanics and graphics, the game holds up decently well considering its age. The lack of a sprint seems peculiar now, however it helps to make you feel grounded in the game and playing without sprint only adds to the feeling of really being there in the game's oppressive battlefields. Like I mentioned prior, the shooting is simple but it works, not much to say about it. However when you get to regenerating health there may be some protest. I personally believe regenerating health to work well with this game, as the insane amount of damage you end up taking in combat and the hordes of enemies you face would lead to you needing god knows how many medkits. Yes, it somewhat pulls you out of an otherwise really grounded experience, but it's not a big deal. Graphics are fine, animations are fine, it's nothing terrible and I imagine that, for the time, this sorta stuff on the scale its being used would've made some computers choke up slightly.
Call of Duty 2 is one of the greatest WWII shooters to have ever existed and is a must play for any fans of first person shooters. It manages to avoid falling down many of the pits that modern COD games would fall down (although it's great to see Modern Warfare 2019 and Cold War actually don't suck) and it avoids being overly dated. It isn't a sort of game where you play it to look into the past and see how groundbreaking it was, it's a game which you can play and enjoy to its fullest right now. The 7-8 hours of fast paced and relentless action will keep you engaged the whole way through and leave you wanting more.

The game is still excellent and holds up quite well after all these years. Towards the end of the game, the game starts to get quite a bit samey in my opinion without enough elements to shake up the gameplay.
But the game is still very intense as I remember. Horrific constant bombardments, very loud gunfire, constant battle chatter. The thing I enjoy the most about CoD2 has to be the feeling of distress from all the loud noise and activity around you, and times of brief confusion about the situation around you.
The price point for this game is atrocious though, for such an old game. Do not buy unless it's on a big pricecut. No more than 10 dollars.

Campaign includes russia, england, and US side of the war in Germany. There are no Japan missions unlike COD world at war. The missions make you feel like you really are in WW2, especially the US campaign gets intense during the D-Day mission. Any fan of WW2 simulator games would love this version of COD.
Game sounds and sound effects such as enemy noise and bullet shots are the same as COD modern warfare 1, and guns/animations are the same as COD world at war. No issues or bugs, and graphics are surprisingly good for such an old game. The movie during the credits is also worth watching.

Call of Duty 2 is the pinnacle of the series, and in my humble opinion, the campaign has not been beaten since. The level of immersion at the time was unbeaten in the gaming landscape; soldiers would chatter, the Germans would scream and the weapons sounded great. There are so many moments of pure awe in the campaign, the atmosphere and little details made it feel real. The graphics still hold up well today, which is a testament to the passion placed into this game by Infinity Ward. The variety of different campaigns and war fronts was its greatest strength too, from the Russians, Brits and the American forces.
This game comes from a time where games were made with soul, no micro-transactions and corporate jargon to be seen, where developers poured hard work and love into games they would play themselves. Call of Duty itself has become a shell of what it once was, If you have never played this Call of Duty before, I wholeheartedly give it a recommendation if you are a fan of the series and are interested in some of the older titles.

Starting multiplayer requires a few minutes wait on a black screen but eventually the menu appears. Go away, make tea and return. Key code is already inputted for you. Great classic game with many hours of fun. Most of the sniper servers and gobrats are still alive with a handful of players.

Well you sure won’t believe what I have to say next. Listen for what I speak is truth, but in this odd age of bad television and even worse Star Wars movies, the series known as Call of Duty actually made some of the best games ever conceived!
The children cry, women faint, and I am banned from the village for heresy.
As my long winded introduction might have given away, Call of Duty 2 is the biggest surprise I think I’ve had in gaming since Spec Ops the Line. I bought this game when it was on sale after watching Raycevich’s video on “How Call of Duty Lost Its Identity” expecting what would be a passable, but in the end bland WW2 shooter.. As for years I have flown the flag that the series only ever peaked with the original Modern Warfare… but after playing through the game and beginning a second play-through within the same week I bought it, I can definity say… I was completely wrong. Call of Duty 2 is not only the best WW2 shooters ever made, but also one of the best shooters ever made. Each level is open ended with multiple objectives forcing players to explore the environment for cover and flanking positions. Gun play is ahead of its time, feeling just as good as the games made today. Enemies are really intelligent, constantly pushing trying desperately to get the upper hand in battle. And the atmosphere is so thick, you could cut it with a knife.
The best part of the game is the level design. As stated before, each mini sandbox allows a multitude of ways for players to achieve objectives. There is just enough cover to allow players time to collect their thoughts, but never so much that the game becomes Gears of War stop and pop style shooting galleries. Buildings are tight forcing players to be slow and tactical while entering, but have multiple entry points, allowing for some decision making from the player. And vantage points are always found when taking these buildings giving players a gameplay incentive to fight for them. Whether it be pushing up the cliffs of Normandy, fighting in the deserts of Africa, or partaking in the battle of Stalin Grad, each level provides the most it can with its setting.
The gameplay is just solid enough to be fun, but a few weapons do display some vintage levels of jank. Rifles and machine guns all work to do specific jobs making players have to constantly search environments and switch weapons to continue their attack/hold out their defense. Sometimes weapons (mostly handguns) feel like pea shooters, making players usually decide to switch them out with a bolt action rifle, but besides that, combat is engaging and as stated before the expert level design and intelligent enemies do most of the heavy lifting when discussing player interaction.
Enemies are able to lay down suppressive fire, flank allied soldiers, make strong offensive pushes, and hold down defended areas. The AI helps keep the action up and the player thinking about their next move, as well as keep the immersion from ever breaking. Ometimes their scripting can be a little stupid (like mortar teams refusing to leave their positions when under sniper fire) but 9/10 I found myself surprised at just how well the AI holds up today.
As one can see from the reasons listed above, Call of Duty 2 is one of the greatest games I think I have ever played. Though I have no intention of taking part in the multiplayer (as that quickly opens up the possibility to toxic and annoying communities) I can definitely see myself replaying this game throughout the years, and with me being locked inside due to the CoronaVirus, it couldn’t have come at a better time.
So if Raycevich is reading this review I have two things to say to him… please do an “X” years later on the Bioshock franchise, and thank you for the recommendation.

Turns out I'm super right and Call of Duty 2 is actually fun. I'm the best, give me money.
Call of Duty 2 takes place during that war in COD:WW2 who's name I can't remember. You play as several characters from three different nations including Private Vasili Koslov of the Russian 13th Guards Rifle Division, Sgt. John Davis of the British 7th Armored as well as Tank Commander David Welsh of the same division. And Cpl. Bill Taylor of the American 2nd Ranger Battalion, Dog Company.
Bet you're super impressed I remembered all those names.
All of these men are unstoppable war gods that push bullets out of their bodies and sew up their own wounds with the sheer force of will, move like sleepy Quake characters, and suck up ammo into their body from the floor to use in their own weapons. Save for David Welsh, who uses his powerful tankomancy to heal his tank from any damages occurred during his missions.
Call of Duty 2 is the first game to introduce regenerating health to the series, which many, many, many people do not approve of, but I feel like it helps the flow of the campaign mode, at least in this case, since you spend less time looking for health and finding yourself in no-win scenarios, especially on higher difficulties. But secretly, its because it gives credence to my belief that all the mute American characters from future COD games are also Bill Taylor, immortal war god and humanoid American cryptid, revealing himself in great times of need to dispense patriotism and bullets wherever he is needed.
Being one of the earlier games in the series, Carl on Duty 2 is much less violent than future games, not relying so much on the series' now trademark shock value and “Controversies”. There's this reverence for the fighting forces on both sides, missions are cut together via documentaries from the Military Channel (Now called the American Heroes Channel, take that how you will) that just take the time to explain to you whats going on and why you are there. Other than, you know, fight the other guy I mean.
Some people have called it propaganda, it might be, I see it more as a kind of respect for the people that went through that. The game is still meant to be fun, and its still exciting to play, but the triumphant trumpet music, mixed with the historical quotes between missions and when you die, it hits different in 2020. The tagline at the time was still “No one fights alone” mind you.
The weapons in Call of Duty 2 were a big sigh of relief after playing it's mumpy, short-bus riding 2017 counterpart. Every weapon fired has this nice oomph to it, with punchy recoil and loud crisp audio. Hitting your target rewards you with puffs of bloody smoke and immediate reactions from whoever just got shot. It looks nice and feels nice to fire guns here, so COD 2 has actually done what other CODs struggle to do, good on them.
I can't think of a mission in this game that I didn't like, even if they have some weak parts in them, they're all generally nice in some way. Like Red Lobster, you know the fish is old, but they cook it so you can't taste it.
From fighting street to street in Stalingrad, hiding behind tanks in Africa, BEING the tank in Africa, to doing D-Day a day earlier than the actual D-Day in France, every mission's environments stick out in some way.
They also managed to be memorable and exciting without relying on in-game cutscenes, instead just going for the whole “War game should have a lot of people” approach and fitting a hell of a lot of people on screen on both sides, sometimes reaching well over a hundred. When you see your allies charging into trenches and returning fire from the other side of an area, it gives this feeling that you're fighting in a war, rather than winning a war on your own.
My only problem is that the Ranger missions rely too much on time-defense objectives, but other than that, I can't really think of a mission I disliked.
The multiplayer is still there...Kind of. COD 2 has been around for so long that splinter-communities have stayed and taken over the game. Zombies is the big server, but I did find a CTF game going on clan-made maps, but all of the TDM games were basically bots only. Its weird now, but its probably someone's comfort game so I don't really know how to talk about it. They seem to be friendly enough.
I don't know how to end this review. Game good, guns nice, shooting fun, online weird.
several 8's out of 10.
Orange used to be known as red-yellow.
Guess what, you're drafted into the curator.

Fundamental key elements that you NEED to have to make good quality games.
That's what happens here with COD2. For me it's the best WW2 COD game.
WAW is great too! But COD2 was more appealing to me for my reasons.
COD2 is the pinnacle of COD formula. They introduced regenerating health for a reason.
The settings, the way weapons work and feel, the simplicity of it all, the good old simple graphics, I just love it.
