Call of Duty: Game of the Year Edition

It's like the middle section of MOH:AA (especially "bocage" scenario, AIwise) with the men fighting beside you only much better graphics and a little better AI. And also while that part of MOH:AA only lasted a few levels, this game promises that the entire game will be like that. Unfortunately much of MoH:AA was basically like a bond/spy type game, and not unit fighting. Call of Duty is unit fighting, and I expect it to be a big hit. I now plan to not buy MOH Breakthrough or Pacific and to just get Call of Duty instead.


Everything you hated about MOHAA seems to be gone.(demo)   September 8, 2003

MOHAA was a groundbreaking game, but suffered from many faults such as worthless firendly AI, ridiculously accurate enemy snipers,and unrealistic ammounts of enemies that could take three bullets to the torso and still shoot you in the head. Call of Duty erases these issues completely. The friendly AI behaves exactly the way you see WWII soldiers in the movies. No elite snipers were to be found (in the demo level), there were as many enemy soldiers as you would expect to be there, and one hit would have them stumble and crawl for a moment before getting up. A second hit takes them down. It's almost perfect. Aiming down the sights is a great addition. Overall the game is really fun. You get a sense of importance without feeling like a superman winning the war by yourself.

This looks to become one of the best WWII FPSs for now. We'll have to see if it can beat DoD in close-quarters multiplayer combat. BF1942 is in a league of its own with its wide-scale vehicular combat, so it can't be compared. Call of Duty is set to replace MOHAA as the definitive cinematic WWII infantry combat experience.


The New Medal of Honor.   September 7, 2003

I just recently played a new demo for Call of Duty. It is being developed by a team led by several people who worked on the very similar Medal of Honor series. The game is also being published by Activision, so it plays similarly to Castle Wolfenstein as well. However, while Medal of Honor tended to focus on simply playing by yourself in the field, Call of Duty emphasises teamwork. Throughout most of the game, you fight alongside your squadmates, which is very cool, and makes Call of Duty even more realistic than the Medal of Honor series. The sound was not phenomenal, and the graphics needed a MAJOR facelift, but by the time Call of Duty is released these small features should have been modified. I am a huge Medal of honor fan, so i am very excited for Call of Duty to come out later this year on the PC. Keep your eyes open for this one!

I have downloaded the demo and I have to say it is great. I played the mission at least 6 times in a row. It is the same creators as MOH so it is alot like execpt MOH graphics are slightly better and weapons seem to be alot more historicaly accurate. But the great thing about it is that u can use your gun sights and pick up different weapons. The best feature is that you are with a squad, which in Moh only a few missions had u working as a team, the rest were just lone wolf types.

all in all this is a great game, and I will buy it but I still say that they should make games about world war where u are the german soldier and in different theaters and operations. For example North african campaign/theater, easter fornt/ operation barbaroosa, greece/italy, and france/poland/denmark/norway. plus the pacific.
