Eidos Call of Duty

Summary: This is a great game....

Strengths: Great graphics, great surround sound

Weakness: short length (finish in 12 hours)

Summary: This is a great game. Sniper mode is especially awesome. The campaigns are a little short, but you can always try to play online. Unfortunately, most online games degenerate into free-for-alls even with teams and those less experienced with first person shooters are at a definite disadvantage. Graphics: Awesome graphics with great details. I like the scorch marks on the walls and floors...

Summary: This is a great game. Sniper mode is especially awesome. The campaigns are a little short, but you can always try to play online. Unfortunately, most online games degenerate into free-for-alls even with teams and those less experienced with first person shooters are at a definite disadvantage.

Graphics: Awesome graphics with great details. I like the scorch marks on the walls and floors from heavy weapons fire.

Sound: If you have a 5.1 system, you'll definitely love it... especially the Saving Private Ryan moments from shell shock, and then hearing the bullets whizzing by. Directional sound helps you locate where the bullets are coming from.

Gameplay: run and gun or snipe away, your choice.

Bonus: Tank campaigns are fun. Rumble around Germany in a tank and you can even destroy buildings with your shells.

Conclusion: Get this now and have fun!

Excellent FPS . I liked it better...

Strengths: Great graphics, Very good levels of difficulty, very consuming, once you start it is hard to stop

Weakness: Cannot use all large the weapons when they are used in the scene. i.e. tanks or artillery pieces

Excellent FPS . I liked it better than 1942 and I thought 1942 was very good(all 3 titles). The controls are similar to other FPS as far as movement. It was quick to learn. There are a variety of scenes. I miss not having binoculars but like being able to carry 2 different rifles. Ideally I like to carry one machine gun and one rifle( hopefully w/scope to use for spotting). I wish there was a...

Excellent FPS . I liked it better than 1942 and I thought 1942 was very good(all 3 titles). The controls are similar to other FPS as far as movement. It was quick to learn. There are a variety of scenes. I miss not having binoculars but like being able to carry 2 different rifles. Ideally I like to carry one machine gun and one rifle( hopefully w/scope to use for spotting). I wish there was a menu for each battle like 1942 so you can pick and choose which battles to go back and play again. For example the tank battles are my favorite. In 1942 you can go back and play it again and again with many different strategies.

The game has a feel to it unlike...

Strengths: -Graphics feature motion blur and hi rez textures. -The overall polish of the game really shines. -When the graphics are cranked and you hear it in DD5.1, you will then know why you own a pc.

Weakness: Although its supports 3d sound... you wont have the best gaming experience without an audigy since the reverb only works on audigys. (I have soundstorm with 5.1 dolby digital encoding)

The game has a feel to it unlike any other. I first tried out this game not expecting much, but now it has my vote for GOTY. These developers sure know what they are doing, which isnt surprising since the majority of the crew who made medal of honor quit and formed a new dev team.
I bought it for $35, but i would have gladly forked out $50 for this gem.

Highly addictive gameplay with...

Strengths: Great Gameplay, Sound and Graphics and intense action

Weakness: None that I can see

Highly addictive gameplay with killer graphics and sound.
Get ready to go to war with COD it is not as good as the Battlefield series but it is extermelly close. This FPS shooter grabs you on the Battlefield and transports you back to WWII where the fighting is intense and just won't let you go. Its a very impressive game and a must own in my book.

i'm not even a fan of FSP games,...

Strengths: graphics, sound, attention to detail

Weakness: single player is a little short

i'm not even a fan of FSP games, but i heard/read that the single player campaign was good, so i tried it. i was immediately hooked. i liked the fact that you play as a member of 3 different armies - American, British, and Russian (in that order). the voice acting for each NPC was well done too IMO. nearly every aspect of this game is good. the graphics look very nice. the attention to detail was...

nearly every aspect of this game is good. the graphics look very nice. the attention to detail was really cool. also, i'm no WWII historian, but the weapons looked very authentic and realistic. the ability to use each weapons sites by right clicking was a nice touch.

the sound quality of CoD was what impressed me the most. the intense battle scenes sound so good on my 5.1 Audigy system that it felt like i was practically there. for me it's the sounds that make the game so immersive. if you don't have a 5.1 sound system, i'd recommend getting one to play this game. ;)

the AI was good too IMO. your allies (and your enemies) will make good use of cover most of the time.

i can honestly say that CoD is one of the best experiences i've had in a PC game. i'd highly recommend it.
