The original Call of Duty set a benchmark for portraying the chaos and intensity of war with lifelike authenticity in a video game.

There is more explosive action with bigger battles in the sequel, more destructive weapons and troops, more advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and amazing special effects set in a wide range of locations and environments.

Gamers will soon be immersed in armed battle through the eyes of soldiers fighting together in epic second world war conflicts.

Call of Duty 2 is set across three Allied campaigns: Russian, British and American. Gamers can play through each storyline to its completion, or choose to engage the enemy in historic battles chronologically from 1941 through 1945.

Although players are free to take on mission objectives in any order, they must use actual combat tactics such as outflanking and fire and manoeuvre to succeed.

Each campaign is split into missions. Each mission offers plenty of opportunities for players to approach their objectives, such as clearing bunkers, running in and out of ruined houses, taking out emplacements, crawling through trenches, planting explosives on moving tanks and killing Nazis.
