I'm playing COD 1 and this game is awesome.

The best part of this game is the sound. I have the x-fi chip so EAX sounds SO GOOD.

I also like the fact that the all the sounds are scaled realistically. I mean the voice sounds are low compared to the guns and artillary. The beginning russian part is great too.

How's COD2?

even better.

the most immersive and realistic WW2 game you will ever play. hopefully COD4 will bring all of that to modern warfare.

Do yourself a favor and get the expansion pack to COD1 first, United Offensive. It was really good.

IMHO the second wasn't as good as the first. COD2 is still good...but I liked 1 better...by alot.

How long is it?

Long enough for $20. There were some great levels in UO. I remember one where you were in a house, on the second floor, and you think you're done, but you look out through the blown-out wall and you can see about 100 germans running in your direction.

I didn't care for COD2- was much more arcadey than COD1. People compared it to MOH series I believe. COD1 was great though.

It rocks. I love it equally as COD1 but the graphics are much better. But its not all about graphics. 1 & 2 are onpar with gameplay. I got 3 for either the PS2 or 360, I cant remember because I havent even played it yet. hehe.

Like the guy said..get a copy of UO..when you are up to snuff..then go here: http://www.thedevastation.com/index.php a great bunch of guys that play on line, and then the fun starts. Don't just think about it..if you are a COD player..then just do it, you won't regret it.

I liked Call of Duty 2 even better than the first. CoD2 is a juggernaut - one of the most intense games I've ever played.

It's definitely a tough game on Veteran! I can assure you of that!! It's bargain bin by now, so it's well worth the money!

some people will go to that extent keith. I would buy a 360 just to play Pro evolution soccer if it was not available for PC. but it is, and its even better on PC.

Well I guess that is more my question: why would you buy a 360 for COD2 when it is readily available (and most likely better) on PC?

You are right though, I could see someone buying one for maybe Gears of War or something, or whatever else it is console people play exclusively.

I just finished playing CoD2 for the first time and I liked it very much. I liked CoD as well. Which is better? Hmmm.. probably CoD2. My only gripe is that I finished it in two days. I wish it was longer but thats just me being nitpicky. There is multiplayer though to increase and lengthen the fun. ;) I'm looking forward to CoD4. It looks promising.

I played COD 2 only a few time -- i think I played it 5 times multiple player; the graphics suck in multiple player. The soldiers look weird when they run - more like sliding than running... maybe its just my video card, but I do have a 8800 gts.. I just don't know. I do like COD 1 and the expansion pack. Its my favorite game :)

do yourself a favor and dont get COD2. OR if you want, I'll sell you mine. I bought it and played it twice. Boy did it suck. I played COD:UO online and loved it. Shame the graphics are dying but COD2 was crap. Seriously, it sucks.
