The one that brought Nazi-killing goodness to a new generation.Call of Duty 2 is the second entry in the Call of Duty series, developed by Infinity Ward and released on October 25, 2005 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360, the latter notable for being a launch title. It is a loose sequel to Call of Duty, sharing little beyond the basic premise of fighting the Nazis across several fronts.Like its predecessor, the game features 3 single-player campaigns set during the War in Europe and Africa. For the Red Army portion, you play as Pvt. Vasili Ivanovich Koslov of the 13th Guards Rifle Division during the Battles of Moscow and Stalingrad. The British campaign is divided into two stories. The first focuses on the exploits of Sgt. John Davis, an infantryman attached to the 7th Armored Division from El Alamein all the way to Normandy. The second, meanwhile, tells the story of Tank Commander David Welsh, the commander of a Crusader Mk. III tank during the advance into Libya in 1943. And finally, the American campaign focuses on Cpl. Bill Taylor of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, during the Normandy campaign as well as the Battle of Germany.Of special note is that this is the first Call of Duty game to introduce the Regenerating Health mechanic that would be a staple of later entries in the series. | |

Anti-Armor: The 88mm flak gun also returns from the first game, and is also frequently positioned in places where the player can make good use of it. Some levels also give the player access to the German Panzershreck rocket launcher to destroy tanks and half-tracks. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
This is the last game in the series to heavily avert Bag of Spilling: if you drop one of your starting weapons for a new one at any point during a mission, you can usually keep it with you throughout an entire campaign. This would be dropped from later games after that freedom conflicted with the game's heavier attempts at scripting, particularly allowing you to bring the game to a screeching halt in the last Russian mission by grabbing a sniper rifle off a German two missions beforehand and using it to accomplish an objective before it's given to you, by just shooting a German sniper with the rifle you already have instead of picking up the one the game expects you to make the shot with. | |

Selective Historical Armoury | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_39886988 | comment |
Selective Historical Armoury: When coming up against German armored vehicles, you must either run up to them and attach a sticky bomb, or in some levels find a Panzershreck reusable rocket launcher [fewer than 300,000 made] lying about. You and your British or American AI teammates will never have PIATs or M9 "Bazookas" available, nor will the opposition ever have any disposable Panzerfaust rockets [more than 6 million made] lying about. In the first Call of Duty the Panzerfaust was a common sight, but many complained that it was a single use weapon that forced them to go back and grab a new one entirely after every shot, especially since even from the beginning of the series explosives were wildly inaccurate and you'd almost invariably need more than one. On the other side, the M1 Carbine is far more rare than it was in the first game, and while the M3 Grease Gun is actually included this time it can only be used in multiplayer. The only German machine gun seen is the MG 42, never the older and slightly more prolific MG 34. Amusingly, a lot of the first game's issues with this trope were fixed with its expansion United Offensive, which added semi-auto rifles for the Russians and Germans, more pistols than just the 1911 and Luger, the Bazooka as an alternate launcher, and several portable machine guns to take over for the pre-placed MG 42s used in the first game - but only some of them (namely, the new pistols and rifles and one machine gun) were carried over to Call of Duty 2. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Anyone who's read up on the Battle of Caen will know that the city will only fall a month into the Normandy campaign, meaning that the actions of Price, Davis, and MacGregor will be ultimately for naught. This also befalls Captain Price; on the one hand, he's not going to die in this game because almost all of the British missions take place before those of the first game, but on the other, he's not going to survive the whole war because we already saw him die late in the first game. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The American campaign ends with Pvt. Braeburn KIA, but McCloskey, Taylor, and Randall survive the Battle of Germany, with the latter even receiving a Field Promotion. The British campaign ends with Price, Davis, MacGregor, and the other British soldiers of the 7th Armored successful in holding back a German armored attack on their positions, but their attempts to push into Caen are for naught, as the division has suffered heavy casualties and must regroup and reorganize. Moreover, thanks to Anachronic Order, players coming from the first game know that Price will eventually be killed attempting to cripple the Tirpitz. | |

Sniping Mission | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_427cc2b1 | comment |
Sniping Mission: Several missions require you to snipe certain targets. The Soviet campaign has "Comrade Sniper", where Vasili is tasked with taking out a German sniper and machine-gun nests with a scoped Mosin-Nagant. The American campaign has "The Silo", where Taylor is tasked with providing sniper cover for his squadmates at the beginning, and is later tasked with taking out German mortar teams when the latter counterattack the town the Rangers just took. Another mission in the same campaign is first half of "The Battle for Hill 400". This one requires Taylor to take out several German mortar teams firing on the Rangers' aid station. | |

Trope Codifier: While the original Call of Duty has many Early-Installment Weirdness gameplay elements holding over from the team's previous work on Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and other Quake 3 engine games, Call of Duty 2 is the game that firmly establishes the core Call of Duty gameplay formula (Regenerating Health, two weapon slots, quick grenades, a proper mission select, console-style single checkpoint saving, etc.) that has remained consistent for almost two decades; about all that's missing to later be codified by Call of Duty 4 is the standardization of sprinting. | |

While they're featured heavily on the boxart as well as in promotional material and even on the main menu and loading screen, they only have about 7 missions total, the same as the Russian campaign, and two of the three campaigns involving them - one of which is a single-mission epilogue - can't be played until every other campaign is completed. The Allied faction with the most focus is in fact the British, with a total of 13 campaign missions across four campaigns. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Call of Duty 2 brought the Call of Duty gameplay style more in line with what's now familiar to longtime players (Regenerating Health, the Limited Loadout slimmed down to two weapons and grenades bound to quick-use buttons, a proper mission select with a console-style checkpoint save), but there's still a few oddities. Chief among them is that you still can't sprint, which wouldn't be standardized until Call of Duty 4. The game keeps damage drop-off introduced in United Offensive, but for some strange reason only applies it in the campaign - it's possible for a machine gunner to require three sniper rifle shots to the face before he'll die if you shoot him from 30 meters, but then play multiplayer and instantly kill someone by tagging them in the foot with that same sniper rifle from one side of the map to the other. This is the last game in the series to heavily avert Bag of Spilling: if you drop one of your starting weapons for a new one at any point during a mission, you can usually keep it with you throughout an entire campaign. This would be dropped from later games after that freedom conflicted with the game's heavier attempts at scripting, particularly allowing you to bring the game to a screeching halt in the last Russian mission by grabbing a sniper rifle off a German two missions beforehand and using it to accomplish an objective before it's given to you, by just shooting a German sniper with the rifle you already have instead of picking up the one the game expects you to make the shot with. | |

| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_5327b609 | comment |
Badass Driver: Zig-Zagging Trope for MacGregor in the two times you ride captured German vehicles with him. On one hand, he's terrible at handling German vehicles because he can't read the (German) controls, but he does manage to drive competently enough to actually get you and Price through German lines alive in one piece both times. | |

Fragile Speedster | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_5979acea | comment |
Fragile Speedster: The British Mk. VI Crusader tank is this. While capable of driving at extremely fast speeds in the North African desert, it achieves this thanks to having far less armor and a smaller gun compared to its German counterparts, forcing a nigh-suicidal strategy where a column of them rushes as close as possible to enemy tanks so they can actually make hits that will count. | |

Mid-Season Upgrade | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_62cbb836 | comment |
Mid-Season Upgrade: Most of the British campaigns have the Thompson as their submachine gun of choice. When they've moved from Africa to France, it's been traded in for the Sten gun. Historically, the trade was anything but this, but in gameplay terms the Sten is better due to its larger magazine, clearer sights and greater accuracy, only making minor tradeoffs in damage and reload speed. | |

Improperly Placed Firearms: A minor example, the Panzerschreck rocket launcher is present in the mission "Comrade Sniper" set January 15, 1943 during the Battle of Stalingrad. The weapons wouldn't be delivered for service until later that year. As typical for WWII-set games, the M3 Grease Gun is also present in multiplayer as its improved M3A1 version, despite that it never actually saw service during the war. | |

Final Battle: All three campaigns have this. "Comrade Sniper" for the Soviet campaign. Here Koslov, Volsky, Pavel Semenov, and several other Soviet soldiers hold back a last, desperate German counterattack in the ruins of Stalingrad. "The Brigade Box" for the British campaign. Following massive losses in tanks and men trying to take St. Louet, Captain Price, Davis, MacGregor and the rest of their unit capture a German field HQ and hold back a German armored counterattack. "Crossing the Rhine" for the American campaign. Taylor, Randall, and McCloskey capture an important German stronghold in the town of Wallendar, Germany, and take out two German Tiger I heavy tanks. | |

Misidentified Weapons: This game would set a standard of sorts for the WWII Call of Duty games, by remodeling the M1A1 Carbine into an original, full-stocked M1, and then refusing to delete the "A1" from its name, which wouldn't be fixed until Call of Duty: Black Ops. Due to poor coding, the scoped Gewehr 43 in the campaign is also called a Springfield. | |

Anachronic Order | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: Like in the first game, each character's missions generally take place in chronological order, but then switching to a new character will set you back. It's not as blatant about this as the first game, mostly by way of reversing the order of the Soviet and American campaigns, so you don't go much further than a few days to months at most. This in particular is also what allowed Price to return from the first game and become a major character, since all of the game's British missions take place before his transfer to the SAS and the fateful mission to the Tirpitz. | |

Leeroy Jenkins: "Hill 400" starts with the American soldiers breaking cover and charging the German position without even being ordered to, and it actually works! For the British campaign, "Crusader Charge" and "88 Ridge" have the player and several allies charge straight into German lines in Crusader light tanks. Interesting to note here is that the British did this because they really had no other choice. The Crusader had shorter range and weaker armor than the German Panzers, and the constant sandstorms of Libya made it basically impossible to fight at long range. Their only hope was to charge straight in and use the Crusader's speed and manuverability to their advantage. It does work, but gets many of your allies killed in the process. | |

Tanks, but No Tanks: The British tank missions have you squaring off against "panzers" that have powerful guns that can knock out your Crusader at range and require you to flank them in order to get past their impenetrable front armor. What are these superpowered "panzers?" Panzer IIs, which are obsolescent light tanks armed with low-caliber autocannons that would otherwise be outmatched by even the Crusader. | |

Davis, Price, and MacGregor manage to escape Toujane in "Outnumbered and Outgunned" by capturing a Sdkfz 222 armored car and driving it through German lines. | |

Tank Goodness | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_cd809603 | comment |
Tank Goodness: When Allied tanks are accompanying you and your squad, almost always expect them to help you out of a difficult situation. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: The Soviet campaign. In the first game, the scenes are straight out of Enemy at the Gates, with those who back off being shot at. In this game, you are guided by a Sergeant Rock who is nothing but encouraging to you ("not bad, not bad!") as you learn to handle shooting rifle and throwing grenades (as potatoes to save on grenades). | |

| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: In the final American mission, you can go Tiger hunting with a German 88mm gun, instead of running up to the tank with a satchel charge. Sgt. Davis gets a chance to shoot down Stukas with a captured Flakvierling. | |

Elites Are More Glamorous | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_d5c7b415 | comment |
Elites Are More Glamorous: The American and Soviet campaigns focus on elite units of the Red Army and US Army. Only the British campaign averts this, focusing on a regular Armored Division of the British Army rather than a paratroop or SAS unit. The Soviet campaign focuses on the 13th Guards Rifle Division, an elite infantry division that served with distinction during the Battle of Stalingrad. The entire American campaign focuses solely on the 2nd Ranger Battalion, one of the US Army's most elite units. | |

Crew of One | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_df514fe9 | comment |
Crew of One: Davis and Taylor can man crew-served artillery pieces all by their lonesome. Averted with Welsh, where you can clearly hear other tank crew members doing their jobs over the radio, though in gameplay you still control every function save the fore-mounted machine gun, which automatically fires when enemy infantry are in range. | |

Happily Ever Before | |
| Call of Duty 2 (Video Game) / int_e55c5f35 | comment |
Happily Ever Before: The game portrays the battle for Hill 400 as ending in American victory. Historically the Rangers did manage to capture the peak and hold it while under intense assault, but, on the last day of the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, Germany recaptured the hill and held it until February 1945. | |

Sniper Rifle: The Soviets have the scoped Mosin-Nagant, the Germans have the scoped Kar 98k and the scoped Gewehr 43, the British the scoped Lee-Enfield, and finally the Americans get the Springfield. | |

Product Placement: The documentary snippets for the start of each nation's campaign has the Military Channel (now known as the American Heroes Channel) logo plastered on it. Makes sense, since they provided the footage and additional research for the game. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: The American campaign is the only one to end on a truly happy note, with Randall and Taylor both receiving field promotions to Lieutenant and Sergeant, respectively, and the War in Europe ending in a month or two and being pretty much won for them. | |
