In Call of Duty 2: Big Red One you experience the adrenaline rush and harsh realities of war as never before. As a part of America’s most decorated and heroic fighting unit, The Big Red One, players work together with their squad to accomplish a variety of land, see and air combat missions spanning North Africa, Italy and Nazi-occupied Western Europe.

In the gameplay department, we should touch on the mechanics of the actual shooting. While the game is very much the same as prior offerings in this respect, it is now extremely well balanced.
