Call of Duty 2 redefines the cinematic intensity and chaos of battle as seen through the eyes of ordinary soldiers fighting together in epic WWII conflicts.
The sequel to 2003's Call of Duty, winner of over 80 Game of the Year awards, Call of Duty 2 offers more immense, more intense, more realistic battles than ever before, thanks to the stunning visuals of the new COD2 engine.
Here are some key features of "Call of Duty 2":
The #1 WWII shooter development team returns with an amazing new experience: Developed by Infinity Ward, creators of the award-winning Call of Duty. All-new, unprecedented enhancements from stunningly realistic graphics to seamless gameplay, thanks to the revolutionary COD2 engine, groundbreaking AI, and choice-based gameplay innovations.
New conflicts and enemies to face: Call of Duty 2 brings you bigger battles, with more tanks, troops, and explosions on-screen, and bigger scope, with a wide range of locales and environments across the European Theater.
Rely on your squad as never before: The dozens of Allied soldiers surrounding you are fully aware of the changing situations around them, and will let you know using an all-new, context-sensitive battle chatter system.
Choice-based gameplay: Play through missions in the order you see fit. Will you decide to play first as a sniper or as a tank commander?
Multiplayer Mayhem: Go online for intense Axis vs. Allies team-based multiplayer action.
What's New:
The Call of Duty 2 1.3 patch fixes some multiplayer game and level issues, raises the gamestate from 16k to 128k and addresses the PunkBuster GUID issue where players were not being assigned PunkBuster GUID's of exactly 32 characters.
Notes for Mod Users:
It is recommended that any user modifications that have been installed to the Call of Duty 2 directory be removed before installing this patch.
These modifications are not supported by Activision and may not be compatible with some of the new features that are included.
Call of Duty 2 does not support mods that have spaces in the mod's folder name. Be sure that the folder that contains your mod does not have spaces; otherwise users will not be able to download the files. For example, a mod in a folder called "My Mod" would be invalid, whereas "MyMod" or "My_Mod" would work.
Multiplayer Fixes:
Raised the gamestate from 16k to 128k
Added loading bars to maps mp_harbor and mp_rhine
Addressed the PB GUID issue where players were not being assigned PB
GUID's of exactly 32 characters.
mp_rhine map changes:
Fixed player getting on top of broken wall and seeing through second story of bombed out building.
mp_harbor map changes:
Reduced overall fog density
Fixed missing water texture
Fixed player not being able to shoot through lower portion of the first gap in a railing found on east side of map.
Fixed player not being able to shoot through lower portion of railing found on east edge of map.
Fixed a partially floating crate and a couple holes in sandbags.
Known Issues:
When hosting a PunkBuster enabled server for the first time after
installing the 1.3 patch, you may experience stability issues. To avoid this, launch the Multiplayer application, wait 10 - 20 seconds, then quit.
Once you relaunch Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer, you will be able to host PunkBuster servers without any issues.
