Summary
Infinity Ward returns with more cinematic intensity and chaos than ever before in World War II's most climactic battles. Call of Duty 2: Game of the Year bumps up the intensity of COD2 with two new multiplayer maps along with the original and still unbeatable game.
COD2 hops around the European theatre of operations, and you'll find yourself facing the likes of Rommel in tank battles across the deserts of North Africa, scaling cliffs on D-Day and hunting tanks in a Russia ripped to shreds by the conflict.
The single player game puts you in the middle of huge battles, and you'll have to rely on your comrades around you. A sophisticated squad system connects you intimately with the dozens of soldiers fighting by your side, and they'll give you covering fire, take cover themselves, even distract the enemy from what you are up to. They'll also warn you of the hazards around you, giving you forewarning of approaching enemies and incoming fire. The environments are more atmospheric and complex than ever, with wrecked cityscapes and shell-churned countryside, obscured by rain, smoke, fog and snow, and illuminated by dynamic, shadow-casting lighting.
This being a PC shooter, it would be nothing without a solid multiplayer mode, and the game sees a return of the distinctive Call of Duty team-based experience. Not the first opportunity this year to join the fray of Axis vs. Allies, but none the less looking good for it.
