Yea, CoD is one helluva game, I'm playing through it again on Veteran right now and its damn hard too. There are a lot of cool sequences too, like when your trying to stay alive in the beginning of the Russain Campaign or when you have to storm that house and then hold it while your being assaulted by like 100 troops and tanks, amazing stuff! Also, anyone notice that the guy from The Transporter and **** (Jason Statham) did the voice for one of the british guys, pretty freakin cool if you ask me. All hail Call Of Duty! It makes MOH:AA look like the crap that it is <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.
It think it's a bit overrated to be quite honest, I mean it's far to short for one, not exactly ground breaking stuff guys it's jus picking up where MOH left off and multiplayer extremly plain.
I got it last night, I'm not super impressed with the single player, I'm gunna go restart it on the hardest setting, naking a KAR98 round in the back point blank and not dying just.... bah..
I got the game because there is going to be a hudge MOD scene for the multiplayer. There are already modefications out that allow you to do things like Prime grenades and such, plus I know people will work to make the game more realistic.
I dont really have any other complaints, I got the Audigy Platinum 2 and this is the first game thats used EAX 3 without glitches, I almost pooped myself when I set up the beacon for the american landing, I got the 6.1 Creative digital speaker set and I had the bass and volume turned up and when the sirens went off and the MG-42 gunners opened up and the bombs started to fall it was soo damn good... <understatement>
AI is the low blow... been a long time since you've had the chance to make the classical "Go thru door, alert enemies, go back to behind the door and wait for the enemies to come through one by one and shoot". And also, the whole thing is (after the first trial and error) a memory game, since the enemies always pop-up in the same window, behind the same barrier, behind the same corner... I can't see the fun in that. So once you die, you have to remember where the enemy was and off you jump merrily again... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Excellent game so far, and I'm only up to the Dawnville demo stages. I can never get tired of WW2 games if they're fun, and this sure as hell is. Uranium's formula can apply to many fantastic games within a multitude of genres, you're making a moot point.
[sarcasm-woot for being sarcastic] For anyone's definition that the market is saturated with WW2 games, we also shouldn't make any new:
Medieval war based games Futuristic war based games Fantasy games RPGS Special Forces based games Games where you fire ANY sort of gun, because let's face it...almost every game has a gun, you'd think they could find something better for people to kill people with, pffft. Games that use music in any way....well, all the new ones have music, bah, it's such a cliche to have music... Games with a plot, because let's face it, they're all cliched too, save the world, destory the world, save your country, kill some guy, hey, they're not more in depth than that either! Games without a plot, because hey, apparently those aren't selling anymore because NO ONE wants to just shoot people.
[/sarcasm]
...I think I've made my point.
I bought the GTA double pack instead, only because the Russians don't speak Russian...that and Target and Wal-Mart didn't have it yet...and I'm not going to Best Buy 30 miles away. The demos are cool, and not all the guys are placed in the exact same spot. In dawnville, the only 2 placed in the same spot all the time are two guys in the house on the way back (with the second tank), and then sometimes the 2nd guy goes out the other way instead of towards you)
A good example of scripting would be the 2 germans that come over the wall (and a 3rd CAN come but doesn't always).
The first time I did Dawnville I brought a panzerfaust with me to the 2nd tank (I sorta expected a tank)...so I was thinking, "wow, that was short"...So I try it again, and being chased by the tank is the best part! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .
(and if nothing else for...randomitity, the germans drop various diferent weapons each time - I'd also like to point out that not all germans were nazis, and not all nazis were germans...and that the nazis forced people to fight for them...and all that jibbah-jabbeh...I guess people like to generalize though)
Need to buy Call of Duty and Blitzkrieg (Blitzkrieg looks cool, but I have no money!). Hope they patch it, or someone mods it, so that the russians speak russian all the time.
Actually the main difference in games is how they implement it and story-wise.
But c'mon. EVERY ww2 game has the same stupid assortment of guns. I know how the war is going to end, hell, I knew how it was going to end the LAST 4 WW2 games I had to play. Furthermore, there is no damn story. The story is: Kill Nazis. God. Vehicles? Already done. I've played Medal of Honor, I've had my fair share of 'lets shoot tanks that blow up town'.

Call of Duty rocks. The singleplayer is amazing, if a bit short. The goal of the game is to make you fell like a much larger whole, and it succeeds very well. You're nearly always fighting with other AI.
The only things that bugged me: - TOO SHORT! Beat it on Regular in 6 or so hours. :-/ - With the exception of the Russian Missions, you kill way to many Nazis for the number of men who you're with.

The british and american car missions are the highlights of their campaigns tho.
It's a great game but grossly overrated.

GreyPaws, once you get into the late game, if you play on regular setting(which i did) it gets very hard.
If you choose veteran, there are no healthpacks.
and being able to be US, British, and Russian looked fantastic, the levels looked pretty realistic
*I used to be a WWII buff*
I'm quite tired of them...
just kidding, i actually look forward to playing this game... at a friend's house or something -_-
my comp sucks bauls.

Same. Every WW2 game is this:

God WW2 games were cliche after WOLFENSTIEN. At least you got to kill Hitler in that game.
