Call of Duty (PC CD)

I pre-ordered this game after playing the demo, which I was very impressed with. The game itself is just a masterpiece, from the jaw droppingly good graphics to the clever AI. Particular scenes just take your breath away, such as the the first mission in Stalingrad as a Russian soldier, which is like the beggining of the film 'Enemy at the Gates', through to the tank battle at Kursk. I think this is without doubt the greatest game to hit the PC yet. I should imagine that you require a good graphics card to admire the true quality and smoothness of the game, I have an Athlon XP1700 and a G-Force 4 Titanium 128mb card, and it runs like a dream with very high detail settings. The only sour point to this game is that its maybe a little too short, I completed it on normal difficulty in around 12 hours of total gameplay, about a week playing a couple of hours per night. However If you have a broadband connection, you can then make use of the fantastic multi player option over the net. This I will never get bored with as you face a different human challenge every time you link up. Lets hope Activision are already underway with the expansion pack. Fantastic in every sense.

I love this game as a kid, I thought it was amazing, but the seller didn't send it to me thus I couldn't play it. NOT HAPPY!

So you've completed the Medal of Honour series and you're a Battlefield 1942 veteran. Well, this is the next step after MoH and it really is a step up. The most obvious improvement is the brilliant graphics, whether the Russian winter snows, the ruins of Berlin (the final battle scene on the steps of the Reichstag is eerily realistic) or the Normandy countryside. Even the other characters are really nicely rendered. The weaponry is varied (you will probably find that, as in real life, the German weapons are rather more accurate and more sought after than their American equivalents) and the missions cleverly constructed - although the tank drive is not terribly well simulated, it is fun after creeping through the sewers of Stalingrad. The big set piece battles are a visual feast - from the river crossing from Enemy at the Gates to some lovely scenes from Longest Day and especially Band of Brothers. At times you wish people would stop shooting at you so you can really look round properly! This really is the best WW2 FPS shooter - after finishing it I promptly started again. Buy and enjoy!

takes a long time to load,as it makes you load in the safe mode,which has to be done several times before it works.The game often gets stuck and will not go on to the next level,so the same level has to be done over and over again,until it decides to procede to the next level.It finally got permanently stuck at a point where I had to use binoculars,and refused to go to the next level.At this point I gave up trying to play this entertaining but glitch ridden game.

The demo for this game is absolutely fantastic. I've played it a number of times and haven't tired of it. The atmosphere is spot on, the visuals are ace and the AI is sufficiently better than the average to make you feel the non player characters are actually trying to help or hinder you. It's a must have if you're even slightly interested in the genre. That said it's very much in the vein of Medal Of Hono(u)r, linear and intense. If you want something more than than a very cool FPS then I suspect (and hope) the Hidden And Dangerous 2 will provide it because the original was a classic when it came to thinking as well as shooting. I suspect I'll just have to lay out for two titles this winter.

And it is. There is no dwell, no jerkiness as in MOH, its smoother than Mr Smooth the smooth snake. But don't bother with the easy setting, it really is too easy and you'll whistle through the levels. The AI is such an advance from the likes of MOH, which I loved, but now seems dated by comparison. Even my other half has peered over my shoulder and oohed and ahhed at the graphics. IT really is a surprise to get elbowed out of the way by a squad mate who wants to take point and is effective at doing it. As the Bren gunner at Pegasus Bridge you are the one laying down suppressing fire whilst the rest of your platoon does the assault. Its a corking play and the best FPS around. Buy it now, you know it makes sense

I haven't played the CoD games before, so I thought I'd start with this one. Unfortunately, the ancient controls (keyboard only) put me off it. Might be alright for someone who doesn't mind playing with the keyboard.

The instructions were in a foreign language still unable to down load english

Ok

Old School PC.... what more can you say?

just thank you

The beginning.

Purchased used. Needed Steam account name to run (password was supplied). Tried own Steam account and was rejected (it knew it was from another account). Returned for full refund. Note on Steam: As far as I'm concerned, this concept has ruined PC gaming. I long for the old days of purchasing a CD, inserting it and playing. Doom, Quest, etc. in the 90's were great. Graphics and play much better now, but the Steam umbrella has made it a pain!
