Title: Call of Duty 2 (PC)
Post by: aldo_14 on August 10, 2006, 03:48:25 am: Got it a wee while back for the pricely sum of £12; very good game, yet doesn't seem to have the same 'oomph' as the original (despite probably being more intense). And I'll never understand why they removed the run button introduced in CoD:UO, which was invaluable. At least, though, they've actually got British soldiers fighting properly in the war (even if one mission, er, was done by Canadians in reality). Russian missions - the highlight of the original game for me - disappoint, though.

Still, 12 quid.

Not as awesome as the Red Square assault of the original, or as amazing as the B17 mission in UO, but just a great moment rolling in formation with some nice desert-sunset effects on the horizon.

Mine too, just going against those Panzers rocked, everything blowing up around you and the guy yelling to keep the charge, it was incredible, a shame it was only one level.
