The intro and mission in Stalingrad was an exceptional experience. I also liked the tank missions in 1 and 2. I left the series after CoD 3 (Modern Warfare). I remember a letter to the editor in CD-Action where a reader mentioned that his father had been playing one of the CoD games for some time and was surprised when he discovered that he could pick up weapons only near the end, meaning that he had played almost the entire game with only a pistol x).

It was simply a gamechanger. Everything about this game seemed new and imersive to the point of Saving-Private_Ryan. Loved every minute of it. One of a kind experience.
The first time I played this game was in the 2020s, so I'm not being nostalgic when I say it's one of my shooters. They don't make games like this anymore (please tell me if I'm wrong). The things this game focuses on would be considered unacceptable in shooters made today, because contemporary FPSs prioritize multiplayer. This game has you desperately avoiding damage by exploiting cover and distance, using these tactics in a multiplayer FPS is considered unsportsmanlike. One time I was playing this game on the Hardened difficulty, I was in the Soviet campaign. After the charge in Red Square, I was alone. I wondered if the surviving members of the charge would show up if I waited, so that's what I did. To my surprise, some Soviets did. No other game has had me *Truly* worried I'd be shot, and decide to wait for reinforcements I *Truly* wasn't sure were coming. Here's a funny story: I didn't know there were quick saves. Partway through my Hardened run, I decided It would be okay if I saved every time the objective changed. It still took me so long to beat, that I forgot I wasn't playing on the Veteran difficulty. Later I started to doubt I had beaten Veteran, So I started a new game. I was horrified to learn that there were no health items.
I really like the campaign and each story from Americans to British and to Russians perspective of the gameplay and try to fight back for the sake of freedom. It really represents the whole story of WW2 like how WaW does it!

Hollow
Hollow“I didn't care about this ship… facility… whatever… Had to… Something, deep in my brain, deep in my flesh, boiled inside to remember…” "In “Hollow,” you are one of the pilots that transports precious resource cargo from the mining ship Shakhter-One down to Earth. One day you wake up in an emergency capsule drifting near the facility. You don’t remember who you are, or how you got out there… All you can remember is an autopilot docking code for capsule dock NR 6. When you dock with Shakhter-One, it is clear that something has gone horribly wrong. The crew is missing and the entire facility is dealing with catastrophic power issues. As you start to uncover the ship’s terrifying secrets, Shakhter-One threatens to take your identity, your sanity, and – ultimately – your life. The worst evil is the one that knows us better than we know ourselves. The worst nightmare is the one borne in our past, emotions, fears, and pain."
