Well, I'm a sucker for World War II. I've recently bought Brothers in Arms: Earned In Blood, and am close to finishing it. I just purchased Call of Duty 2 online, so to anyone who has it or has played it...Is it any good?

I don't have it, nor did I play it. But a reviewer from another gaming site wrote a comment underneath my Quake 4 review saying that Call of Duty 2 was the game to spend your money on instead of Quake 4. Call of Duty 2 is easily the FPS of the month, according to him.

Has anyone else played the game?

I'm not big on these shooter types so I was curious, can you play games like Call of Duty as a single player? Or does it lose a lot of its appeal if you don't play online or multiplayer?

No. If you don't really want to play online, I suggest getting Brothers In Arms. The game's storyline is unbelievable. The first Call Of Duty had some memorable moments in the single player campaign too. I've been luckey enough to be able to pick of both Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood and Call Of Duty 2 in the same week. Although Call of Duty hasn't arrived yet, it's coming November 9th...

 

But back to your question, I haven't played the second Brothers In Arms game online, and I still love it. The replay value is high, considering each chapter can be beatin a number of different ways. The enemy AI in the game is just about the same as anybody you could find on X-Box Live. If your going to pick up a WWII shooter this season, get Brothers In Arms.

The main reason I'd rather play single player is because my computer is too crappy to play online. Sure I can play online, but at the expense of incredibly bad performance. Thus I tend to favor consoles for shooter types and tend to favor single player games over multiplayer.

All I know is I have it on good authority that it clearly shows that it's using multiple cores in the 360 version.

Just installed it a few minutes ago and it's an understatment to say that it's absolutley frikin awesome.

What kind of computer do you have? Does it run well?

 

I have an average computer, do you think it'll run okay?

CoD 2 is a fairly linear game. Visuals aren't great. In fact they are bad. There is no physics engine. There is no real story. It's a "run run run shoot shoot shoot" game. And it's absoulately a short game. You can beat it about 10-15 hours.

 

If you're not a fps fan, don't buy it.

I think everyone must have there own opinion on the game. From what I've seen at GameSpot, everyone's given it an 8 or higher.

AMD 3000+/512MB/GeForce 6600GT - I run it on medium level graphics otherwise when I put it high, well, let's just say I have problems

Sorry to bring back the old thread, but I've started to play online again. Does anyone else play?

 

My name is: Krookie

I did... then I got battlefield2 and AOE3

Stopped for a long, long time, but I've recently started playing again. Name's "Wolf". Simple, and probably used a lot, but I never run into anybody with the name besides myself.

 

I suck if I don't play for an extended period.

Haven't been on since last night.

 

Most likely, I need a more unique name.

I usually go by pariah..

I'm in the server called "Cereal Killers" right now, if anybody wants to play.

My biggest "beef" with the game so far is that my parents got me the CD version...all 6 of them.

 

I don't know if there was a DVD version out there or not, but they might as well have just tossed a DVD in there as I can't imagine it having that much of an impact on the cost anyways!

 

Still installing :D

I'm still considering buying it, probably will in the end....once I get it I wouldn't mind playing a game or two online with you guys....

The single player isn't bad either. The British missions are my favorite.

The British ones were much better this time around. Less lonesome SAS type experience.

 

I didn't like the ending as much though....the final level was meh compared to CoD's ending. I remember getting goosebumps down the stretch when we were storming the Reichstag as the Soviets.

 

Overall I enjoyed it, but not as much as the original. Probably because it was less "wow" because I had already received a CoD experience before

Don't tell me the ending. I had to reinstall for some reason, and never got to play the last mission.

 

Anyway: Do you play online at all?

 

EDIT: Did someone make us a server? First server listing for me was: OE| Obsidian...

I just installed the game today, so I haven't played online yet. I have a bit too much on the plate at the moment, but I'll likely log in a few minutes or so in MP at some point.
