Call of Duty 2

Call of Duty 2 is a 2005 first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. It is the second main installment in the Call of Duty series, not counting the original game's expansion pack United Offensive and the console game Finest Hour.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) A great single-player mode featuring four campaigns.
 * 2) Introduces a neat and easy to use level select screen. And better yet, unlike later games, once you've beaten a level you can either choose to continue to the next level, or return to the main menu.
 * 3) Graphics are greatly improved from the first game.
 * 4) Good soundtrack by Graeme Revell.
 * 5) Nice multiplayer.
 * 6) The PC version has many custom content for both single-player and multiplayer, such as skins, maps, and mods that greatly expands the game's content, most notably Back2Fronts and WCP.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) As with the rest of the series, the campaign is pretty short, and can be finished in 5 hours.
 * 2) The multiplayer mode loses some of the features introduced in United Offensive, such as driveable vehicles. Not only that, the Xbox 360 version can only support 8 players at a time; in comparison the PC version has a maximum of 64 players.
 * 3) This game introduced regenerative health, which became a staple of the franchise.

Reception
The game was met with mostly positive reception from both critics and players, with a Metascore of 86 for the PC version and 89 for the Xbox 360 version.
