Call of Duty 2
Good game. A classic!

The positive: good graphics plays great on most Macs, game is long and gives you time to play and enjoy missions, you don’t feel rushed or forced through missions.
The negative: old game, crashed sometimes for unknown reasons but not frequent enough to pose problems.
Summary: not worth the $50+ dollars you’ll pay through the Apple store but is a better overall game than Call of Duty 4.

Call of Duty 2
Very well made, but not that exciting

First of all, I'd recommend anyone who isn't a total newcomer to FPS to play this game in hardened mode. I did the mistake of starting in regular mode since I'm not a very good player, and it's way to easy, you can walk effortlessly through the whole game.
That said, the game is very well made. The graphics, sound, level design etc. is top notch. However, I didn't find the game all that exciting. No moment in this game really got my blood rushing. It felt more like an interactive history lesson if you know what I mean.
Very well made, decent game. But certainly not in the top 20.33 of 56 people found this useful

Based on the demo...

I downloaded the demo to my 2.16ghz/1gb dual channel ram/256mb x1600 MacBook Pro. I have to say that I was thoroughly disappointed at the framerate and graphics quality, and was expecting much more after playing it on XBox 360. The gameplay is still fantastic, but the graphics could be much better and it could run better on a system like this...

Nice WW2 Shooter
Written by JS from Bakersfield

Good:
Universal Binary, runs on 1440x900 with maxed settings on MBP 2GHz without hickups
Good graphics, nice effects, has a slight "console look" to it.
Good voices, brits have the according accent, Germans speak german ;-).......good varity in spoken words, does not get annoying.
Controls are standard FPS
I encountered no crashes, hickups, bugs, runs smooth and stable with no patches to install, straight of the dvd.
Its not BF1942, but you have 2 missions where you can drive a tank, no flying althou, or jeep driving. In a couple of missions you can shoot some cannons, flaks....
There are no "jump'n run" sections with frustrating skill level required, but thats probably a matter of personal taste, I can do without them.
Bad:
Playtime is fairly short, did the whole thing in about 5h.
Freedom of movement is pretty restricted, objectives have to be completed in a certain order on a given path, with 2 or 3 exceptions, where you can choose the order. So there is no exploring, looking for alternative routes, doing things your way. The good thing about that is that there are almost no chances to get "stuck" and run around for hours in a level to look for some switch that triggers a door someplace else.......
When moving, the crosshair dissaperas, what makes aiming a little hard ;-)
Ugly:
If you want to play online, get yourself bootcamp and BF1942. It plainly sucks.
General:
Its a nice shooter, runs nativly on Intel, but nothing to write home about. Its miles away from games like halflife, counterstrike....
I bought it from amazon for 50 bucks, and it is not worth that kind of money. In my personal rating where Halflife is worth the 50$, I would consider a fair price is about 30$
