Even now, with my eyes blurred and unable to focus and my ears ringing from the sound of gunfire and grenades exploding, it’s still difficult to believe quite how powerful a game Call of Duty 2 is. It simply creates the most intense, exhilarating, sometimes terrifying and frequently exhausting experience of combat around. It doesn’t give you a mass of clever tactical options or open battlefields where you can do things your way. It’s not out to provide the most realistic depiction of the war. It’s not original, subtle or particularly innovative. This is the World War II shooter to end all World War II shooters.
