Call of Duty: Finest Hour is a 2004 First-Person Shooter video game and a Spin-Off of the Call of Duty series developed by the now-defunct Spark Unlimited and released on GameCube, PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. The game is neither a reimagining or a remake of the original game but an attempt to the bring the cinematic Call of Duty experience to consoles of the time, and unlike its inspiration, the game featured third-person cutscenes and more emphasis on characterization.Like the game it was based on, the player controls a series of characters fighting for the Soviet Union during the Battle of Stalingrad, the British Empire during the North Africa campaign, and the United States of America during the push across Belgium and Germany in the final months of the war.Due to the game going overbudget and having a Troubled Production, publisher Activision decided to cut ties with the developer, leading to the console sequel Big Red One being developed by Treyarch, who would go on to develop the popular Black Ops subseries.

Urban Warfare: Several examples in both the Soviet and American campaigns. For the Soviet campaign, there's the entirety of the missions set inside of Stalingrad, where Soviet forces defend the city against constant German ground and aerial attacks. The American campaign gives us the Battles of Aachen and Remagen, two major battles taking place deep within German towns and cities, where the 1st Infantry Division struggles to advance in the face of determined German opposition.

Token Minority: Sgt. Sam Rivers is the only African-American player character in the game. Justified Trope, on account that the unit he's fighting in, the 761st Tank Battalion was made up of African-American soldiers, and that most of the US Armed Forces during World War II were segregated.

Nightmarish Nursery: A secret Easter Egg features a creepy room located behind a stone wall, done up to look like a crude nursery. The room is lined with portraits of babies, has toys on the floor that move on their own, a giant rat in a cage, and a ghost child in a crib that will vanish if the player attempts to interact with it.

BFG: It wouldn't be Call of Duty without a few. Among the various weapons the player character can carry: the MG42 machine gun, the M1919 machine gun, and the Panzershrek rocket launcher. Played at least somewhat realistically, however, as with these weapons the player moves noticeably slower, can only aim down the sights of the two machine guns if lying prone with the bipod deployed, and the MG42 in particular is very hard to control when firing.

Unique Enemy: Unique Ally, in this case. A Tunisian man named Yusef appears as an NPC ally during the first pair of North Africa missions. Appearing to be a partisan with a sniper rifle, he has no dialogue, no other characters comment on his appearance, and while he is invincible in the first of the two Matmata missions, he can be killed in the second.

Too Dumb to Live: In the opening cutscene for the first Aachen mission, Sgt. Walker orders his men to use the tanks for cover. As the mission starts, two American Red Shirts charge ahead of the tanks, ignore Cpl. Church's shout for them to stay behind the tanks, and are promptly killed by a German machine gunner.

Decoy Protagonist: A non-fatal example in Aleksandr Sokolov. While the first few Stalingrad missions focus on him, the real focus turns out to be his eventual superior Tanya Pavelovna, whom you play as not long after being introduced to her. Sokolov ultimately becomes an NPC and serves as her Target Spotter for the rest of the campaign.

Artistic License – Geography: Badanov refers to Stalingrad throughout the Soviet campaign as "Volgograd", the modern-day name of the city. If this is meant to play at his Old Soldier status, then he should at least be calling it Tsaritsyn - the original name of the city before Stalin renamed it after himself in 1925.
