Call Of Duty 2

After getting my hands on Call Of Duty 2, I finally got the time to install the bloody 4GB game on my computer. I usually don't even consider installing my games on other drives other than C:\. Anyway, I got into the midst of the Russian resistance right after installing the game. One good thing about Call Of Duty series is always their music, dying quotes, realistic effects and great scenery when you are not busy dodging bullets. This time round, I don't even need to optimize my settings, other than changing my resolution to 1024 instead of 800.

Gameplay wise, I think it is still 8/10 for me at least. At Regular mode, I had to replay some mission several times. Once you get used to the scripted storyline, you will know what to expect. This version is mainly on teamwork, unlike the previous Call Of Duty and United Offensive. There's no commando missions thus far that I have encountered. That's a good thing, I don't like to charge into a room of Germans without any backups. I am serving my National Service in the army now so I know that doing that is suicide. The AI is pretty good too, they know when to throw the grenades to flush me out and push me back. But then, I realised that we are throwing grenades at each other at around the same time so both sides don't gain much ground.

So much for the gaming review for Call Of Duty 2. I will be going out with Camille again today to watch Casino Royale. Since I am going to Jubilee to pick her up, I will be buying the book Eragon. I saw the trailer of the movie and I think the movie's going to be as good as Lord Of The Rings. At least there's dragon in the story instead of the weird wraiths from LOTR. Till the next time I post, everyone take care lah.
