Call of Duty 2 2005

Is it still worth playing?

Infinity Ward's 2005 World War II first person shooter, released for Windows and the Xbox 360. You play four soldiers, one Soviet, one American and two British, across three storylines and 27 missions on four difficulty levels. The aim was less linear battlefields, squad dialogue and enemies that react to gunfire. In those battles health regenerates when you are out of fire, a compass HUD marks objectives, and you carry two firearms with iron sights and smoke grenades. Beyond that, some missions put you behind machine guns or flak cannons or in tanks, and dying restarts from a checkpoint. Multiplayer has Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy, Capture the Flag and Headquarters, for up to 64 players on PC servers. Regenerating health and checkpoints still make each firefight quick to retry today.
