Fast Paced Intense Battles

I always say the two most important aspects in a game for me are graphics and gameplay. And this one excells in both!

The combat is fast and intense. There is plenty of action and loads of weapons to try out. I say try out because whatever you start out with will run out of ammo and you'll eventually have to go back to using the German weapons. I almost always finished the levels using a German machine gun and rifle.

One aspect that really really bugged me was how my teammates ALWAYS got in the way. I don't know how many times I got killed because I would go into a room and start getting shot only to find that I couldn't go back out the way I came in because Joe Jackass is crotched down in the doorway trying to shoot. They constantly get in your way and prevent you from moving. And in close quarters intense combat that is not something you want.

The lighting in the game seemed a little much. Some slight subtle light rays are good, but Tryarch layed them on thick in this one. It very unnatural looking a lot of the time.

The multiplayer is a blast as well. This game is worth picking up!

A solid game, but far from spectacular

Call of Duty has been a longstanding shooter franchise that I just got interested into. As soon as I got over the fact that I couldn't play co-op with my best friend, I was pleased with a very immersive single player experience, with about 15 hours of gameplay. The destructable environments and the many weapons at your disposal are nice. Here are my Good, Bad, and Ugly on this game.

The Good:

A long campaign

Versatile; tank missions, machine guns, anti-tank guns, you name it

Decent selection of allies and axis weapons

Destructible environments

Friendly AI is actually half-decent

good multiplayer

The Bad:

AI can be dumb in some missions

Bad weapon balance: Bolt actions are much better than automatic rifles.

Friendly AI can box you in and prevent you from getting cover

The Ugly:

No co-op

All in all, this game is good for the $40 I payed for, but the lack of co-op is a head-scratcher although Im glad that Call of Duty 5 will have this feature included.
