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).
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!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
