Call of duty 1 or call of duty 2?

After playing both games i have actually come to the reasonable conclusion that i liked the first more than the second.

I stayed up 9 strait hours playing the first one, it was so fun and it kept going. Unlike Allied assult the missions were more flowing and fun along with more teamates! Allied assualt is still a good game that i play when im feeling in a kinda Clint Eastwood/indiana johns mood of killing hundreds of people. Call of duty kinda felt like that too.

Now call of duty 2 looked amazing and was still pretty fun, but all the focus on realism was actually kind of a turn-of. It got annoying after awhile, having to you know "okay (sigh) i need to circle around and shoot these guy, ohhh no they have better guns time for a grenade ohh crap they threw 5 at me.................... and i just got tired!

The singleplayer was still good though but it felt short, and a Itallian, or even a German campaign would be a breath of fresh air.
NO i think the two worst parts were the unbalanced multiplayer(shotgun? uber ppsh, and easily hit detection) the other was thier was no music!
I know with all the fighting in many games you dont notice it alot (hell maybe even i didnt) but it sets the backround mood. Thats while i liked call of duty one better, it had music.
Anyone fell the same? OR DIFFERENT just kidding. (not really)

Nah COD2 is better. Allied had deplyable guns whch wass kinda fun but pretty useless. All the Britich level in COD2 where great (except the silly tank one).

Have you played Brothers in Arms?

I prefer realism. Call of Duty: Big Red One was a good game, I enjoyed playing it.

yes i have, earned in blood is very fun and realistic so i that would have to be on my list too. I like that in that game its more on tactical moves and smarts instead of looks and run and gun.

and your right the british missions were fun, the only one that started to bore me was the normandy one where its just fixed path street fighting, but the one where you chose the orderd of objectives was one of the funest in the game. DO you have it for 360 or pc because the pc has all these mods and whatnot my favorite being one that actually adds ss troops in it (filefront.com)

Liked all the Call of Duty games. The weapons evened up for online playing after the first game. The mods are cool with some great maps.

Brothers in arms is the best game that has ever been created I hate pretty much all of the run and gun games I like tactical games. In real life you can't take like 5 billion hits.
