The final mission of the American campaign recreates the Rhine River crossing into Germany. The final American campaign is squarely centered on the D-Day assault of Pointe du Hoc, and the following push of allied soldiers in the French countryside. The British campaign is set in Africa during the Battle for Caen and their fight against German Afrika Korps troops. In the Russian campaign, the players are placed in the boots of Private Vasili Koslov who was present during the defense of Moscow and a long set of missions during the battle of Stalingrad. The 9-hour long single-player campaign of Call of Duty 2 is separated into three main campaigns. After several years on the market, the game eventually reached 6 million sales on all platforms, with most of them being on PC. On its release, Call of Duty 2 was welcomed with very positive scores from the media, who praised the game’s visual design, varied locales, and spectacle, the addition of a regenerative health system, and satisfying fast-paced action.
While some console versions were limited to just 8 players in a match, PC multiplayer supported up to 64 players. To make the gameplay more challenging to seasoned players, the developers included four difficulty levels (Easy, Regular, Hardened, and Veteran), as well as a fully-featured multiplayer section with varied gameplay modes (Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Search & Destroy, Capture the Flag and Headquarters) and 13 official maps (8 more in premium DLC packs). The main campaign of the game features a total of 27 missions, separated into three individual campaigns. In the terms of gameplay, COD2 introduced mainstay features such as automatic regenerating health (a mainstay element that can still be found in modern games today), a visual marker of nearby active grenades, enhanced movement animations, a wide array of authentic WW2 weaponry, and vehicles, ability to drive tanks, and more. Offering dramatic visual, gameplay and narrative improvements over its predecessor (that has won over 80 Game of the Year awards), Call of Duty 2 was immediately hailed as one of the best FPS games ever created and a multiplayer giant that set the stage for the arrival of the legendary Modern Warfare just a few years later.ĭeveloped by Infinity Ward under the close supervision of Activision, the game follows the perspectives of four soldiers in three distinct campaigns covering the exploits of the Russian, American, and British forces across several WW2 fronts.
