Players will again engage in combat during the Second World War in the second installment of the Call of Duty series for consoles. Amidst the frantic, heavily scripted, first-person action, the primary focus is on the characters and the drama between them. This is consistent with previous Call of Duty games. Players will begin the game as a private new to war in America’s most iconic infantry division, which was given the nickname “Big Red One” for the distinctive patch they wore on their uniforms. They will fight through the game as a team in Fighting First and be influenced by the loss of comrades they suffer on the battlefield.
Players will be tasked with recreating the victories achieved during World War II across various land, sea, and air missions in Africa, Sicily, and Normandy. They will do so by utilizing a variety of vehicles, including tanks, jeeps, armored cars, and half-tracks, to complete these objectives. The ability of participants to move, fire, and execute the goals that a commanding officer provides before the start of each operation will determine how successful they are.
Multiplayer games that support as many as 16 people are available for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 2.
