Ratcheting up the difficulty a notch makes the game much harder and more tactical (this is probably the experience the designers intended). If you play the game on regular difficulty, you could blow through it in about 10 hours. If you already thought rock climbing was an 'extreme' sport, try doing it with artillery and machine-gun fire raining down on you.Įach of the game's 10 missions is broken up into a few different stages. Instead, you'll be scaling the sheer cliffs of Pointe du Hoc as artillery with the Army Rangers. Yes, you will be doing a D-Day landing, but not on Omaha Beach or Utah Beach, which you've probably played several times before.
After you're done with that, you'll play as an American corporal in Europe. The final mission in the British campaign sends you to the bombed-out houses and hedgerows of Caen, France. For most of these missions you'll be fighting in the sand-swept deserts of North Africa alongside the Desert Rats against Field Marshal Rommel's troops. The British campaign is unlocked after beating the first Russian mission. You start off as a private in the Russian army, visciously fighting off the invading Germans in Moscow and Stalingrad. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot'sĪs in the first game, Call of Duty 2's campaign will put you in the shoes of a few different soldiers fighting for different Allied factions.
