I recently completed call of duty 2, I thought the ending was disapointing compared to the original and The Russian campaign was good, but a bit short compared to the british and american campaigns. The graphics/sound are excellent and the large scale battles and scripted sequences were fantastic. I highly recommended it if you are a fan of the first call of duty. Here some screenshots I've taken

Nice screenshots BritishLad, I was thinking of getting COD2 but I would have to upgrade my laptop to play it. I think that when I do upgrade my computer that would be one of the games I would get.

I have just finished COD2 also, and agree with British Lad's comments.

An even better game, and much more tactically based, is Brothers in Arms: The Road to Hill 30.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark or even eagle flew-
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

One thing I found about CoD2 was that it was a little short.

I'd finished it in a little over a week or so, just playing a couple of hours a night.

Superb game though.

And, I agree BiA is excellent aswell.

i thought it was pretty good overall, the british mission where you had to call in artillery on the kraut tanks while they were rushing in was one of my favorites.

Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood is better than Road to hill 30. Newer and more missions. Great fun...

I saw some of the screen shots and they are very poor graphics compared to the Xbox or say PS2... u can buy them for under £100 on ebay and are alot more realistic.

I have COD2 and I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm in the middle of it though and have stopped for a bit but those screen shots by Brtish Lad make me want to play the game right now.
