There is a strong historical aspect evident in the game, with several real world battles simulated.

The Call of Duty series was initially released on the PC and the way it managed to capture the feel of war while delivering competent first person shooter gameplay impressed critics and gamers. The series was a success and console versions were quickly planned. Call of Duty 2: Big Red One is one of the Call of Duty games released on gaming consoles.

The game tells the story of a new recruit who gets into the Big Red One infantry division, one of the most celebrated units in the American Army. You have to play through each section of the game in succession, as a new mission is unlocked only once you complete the one before it. The game is heavily scripted, with some of the larger operations depicted in minute details and with the player often being relegated to a minor role on the battlefield as the great clash happens all around him. The production values of the title are very high, with great music and brilliant voice acting.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Counterattack mission

When Brooklyn says "Finally, this crappy mud pit is ours!", just start running away from where you came. Equip a BAR or another MG while running. You will not have to worry about the tank dealing damage and can concentrate about the Nazis on your way.

After the tank chases you and blows down the main bridge, run to the right to find a bazooka.

Africa tank mission

In the first tank mission in Africa, there is a Flak 88 gun that will take out one of your tanks. The gun is on the right side inside a building and is not visible. Shoot the second building on the right side. It is the tallest one and will start to crumble when hit. Also, some of your troops are on the right side. Do no run them over. They will help you by taking out the other Flak 88 gun. All you have to do is take out the two machine gunners on the right side after the first Flak 88 gun.
