5 of 5 Fun Monday, December 22, 2008
[TMX]Cosmic-Cowboy from Bartlesville, OK
I liked COD4 better because of the modern combat aspect, but this version has excellent graphics and great game play. If you like WWII fps games, then this is one of the best. Weapons are not as powerful as COD4. Artillery strikes on spawn points becomes frustrating at times.
Single player is okay to get accustomed to the gameplay and controls, but rather boring otherwise. I play clan based, multi-player anyway. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 great game Sunday, December 14, 2008

I can't wait for the next one Was this review helpful?
2 of 5 A lot of bugs Tuesday, December 09, 2008
Stan from Salem, OR
Game locks and you can't understand commentary in between maps.
I have no problems what so ever with COD 4.
I was not able to play last map at all, it would lock and not respond. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Not as good as COD4 Sunday, December 07, 2008
A Gamer from worcester, ma
Just not that interesting, probably because of the realistic (aka less-powerful) weapons. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 A very good game Saturday, December 06, 2008
Randy Wellman from california
I find the graphics excellent, the maps have great detail the water falls and streams are exceptional, I don't like how the apposing team, can call in an artillery strike on the spawn points, that gets real boring, just getting slathered . The weapons are very nice, I think the dog attacks are insane, there is a lot of thing in the maps, I would like jump on to, that you can't, disappointing. Over all I would give it 7 to 7.5 out 10

5 of 5 Excellent game. Tuesday, December 02, 2008
Pop43 from Long Island, NY
I thought this game was an excellent choice. I'll make a quick comparison to COD4 (multiplayer). The graphics are very similar, if not a touch improved. I will read negative reviews about the sound of this game and I can't uunderstand why, except that maybe they are using an integrated sound card. I use a Soundblaster FX card, and the sounds are fantastic. Gameplay is challenging. There are always those players who shoot faster than you, but I can't explain that. It's a fun game when you play against people who are similar in skill level. As far as singleplayer goes, don't bother. I was bored after only a few levels. Overall, great mulitplayer game, albeit sometimes frustrating when you die! Was this review helpful?
