One of the best games brought out on the Xbox 360. I could multiplayer on it for hours and hours, its so fun! There are many maps you can download for it too off the marketplace on the Xbox 360. They will cost you but they're very worth it. Single player is very good too and is very realistic. War games are getting better and more life like every time they bring out one. I like the way they did the health in Call of Duty 2, though; if you get shot your screen goes red and if you hide for a bit it goes back to normal and you're fine again, so you don't have to go looking for health which in my opinion is better. Go Buy IT! NOW!

Good game, I would recommend it to everyone I know.

This is the first time that a Call Of Duty game has been made both for a console and the PC. Here in the Xbox 360 console version, the single player is one of the best I've ever seen in a WW II game. You have the opportunity to play as every Allied Nation playing as Pvt. Vassili in the Russian exhibition, Sgt. Davis in the British exhibition and _____ in the American exhibition. They recreated many historical battle scenes in the European side of the war, including the famous Hill 400 battle. While the Single Player is great, the downside is the multiplayer. The controls in it are some of the hardest to learn I've ever experienced. You have to have played the previous Call Of Duty games for the Xbox, so it isn't a game I'd recommend to a new person playing the Call Of Duty series for the first time. Some of the maps have been edited from the Single Player version to fit the Multiplayer, and they had even added more maps not seen in Single Player such as Brecourt, France (mp_brecourt) and Rostov, Russia (mp_harbor). But all in all, the Call Of Duty series has been impressive with every game released, and this is no exception!

Call of Duty on the PC has always been fantastic, but although the console versions were great they were never as good as the PC version, this time however, we get the PC game.

The first thing you'll notice is the fantastic atmosphere, debris is constantly flying around everywhere, explosions, cross-fire, troops running around and aircraft ducking about and you're in the middle of it, unlike EA's Medal of Honor you don't take them out on your own, you're always part of a unit and they'll effectively do their part firing away and taking the enemy out. You're virtually always under fire and on harder difficulties you will need to use cover a lot, and the scale of war is like no game has ever before come close to.

You'll fight on 3, nicely varied locations, firstly in Russia, then onto Africa and finally into France, all 3 locations are brilliant and in Africa you'll get a good laugh or two from the somewhat comical British troops.

The weapons are all authentic and good fun to use, you've got a decent selection of rifles and machine guns to choose from, as well sniper rifles and a shotgun, but even the lowely pistol can hold it's own if need be, and your eyes will light up on the rare occasions when you get hold of a bazooka.
The tank sections are a little dissapointing though, the first section kicks off to a great start but is over very quickly, and it's all a little slow from there but it's a welcome break to the on-foot warfare, just don't expect these to become your favourites.

The graphics are slightly hit and miss, but mostly they do the job brilliantly. The debris, explosions and especially the smoke are all incredible and at times there will be dozens of troops on screen at the same time and not a hint of slowdown. One particularly breath-taking section is in the Russian campaign, you and your squad have recaptured a Germen held building and you prepare for a counter attack, you position in a window and watch as several smoke grenades go off, then dozens upon dozens of Germens dash out of the smoke and rush your squad, it's simply mind blowing. The only downer here is that the animation on the troops is a little stiff, and although it all looks great you just know the 360 can more.
The soundtrack only adds to the authenticity, subtle bursts of musical score on occasions but the constant gunfire, screaming of troops and captains issuing orders is brilliant, and troop chatter is based on your situation, they'll gladly warn you about grenades, enemy tanks and where incoming fire is coming from.

And as if it wasn't good enough, it's got a fantastic multiplayer mode that simply outshines every other WWII game and even gives the heavy-hitters such as TimeSplitters a very good run for their money. The only problem is that the areans are fairly large (to accomdate 16 players over Live) so if you're playing split screen you're gonna really need more than just you and one mate, but with 3 or 4 of you playing it's a fantastic way to waste an entire day away, and on Live you can 16 players, and have an all out war, with human players, and that has gotta be the best thing since Goldeneye 64

So overall, if you like FPS's at all, you'll love this, if you've got equally minded friends or Live then you'll be playing this for years, well at least till Call of Duty 3 comes out.
The only real downside I can think of is the lack of bazookas! I mean everyone loves to blow stuff up... and you can't use them in multiplayer at all, but I'm just being picky here, you've still got grenades and they're a lot of fun!

Buy Call of Duty 2 you won't be disappointed.
Very simple to get into and the visuals are mind blowing.

Call of Duty 2 was the first game I played on the Xbox 360. I was expecting a great experience and that was what I got. The graphics are brilliant, and the gameplay is simple and fun. Online is a different matter however, as the games kept disconnecting and there were terrible amounts of lag. However, a patch has just been released to fix this.

It is definitely one of the best launch games out there! The only bad point is the game is quite short, even with the hardest level on, although multiplayer can be very addictive.

The Call of Duty XBox 360 game alone was worth the cost of the 360 on the day of release in the UK. The graphics are mind blowing! The game play is very simple, and the desert section with the tank was a ball.

I can not wait for the next in the series!
