Darth Groovy Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Originally posted by STTCT I bought it for my husband for Christmas. It was $29.99 on an After Thanksgiving sale. Luckily I know someone who works for Best Buy!! Its regular like 49.99. Anyways. I checked all the reviews and it got rated very high. I'm sure he'll really like it WOW:eek: And I thought I was getting a deal at $42.99! Anyways, I am sure he will like it. The thing that makes this game so fun, is that it is easy to follow along and operate. Unlike alot of FPS games, your not having to spend hours on end looking for pick up items and hidden doors. Plus, you always have the other members of your platoon with you, and they actually help you out, providing cover while you blow up tanks and anti air-craft guns. You-ll be blown away by the graphics. The actual game play is really quite cinimatic. I really felt like I was in the crap, when I saw my platoon dragging other wounded soldiers to safety. It's also very hard to put this game down, even though it autosaves at several places, you still won't wanna quit! I have not played online yet, I am holding out for some buddies to go on the servers with. I'm sure it will be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ALWAYS sounds like there's a damn war going on everywhere. My wife's constantly screaming over my speakers "TURN THAT DOWN!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headset just doesn't do me any justice on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you coming along on single player? Made it to Stalingrad yet? If so have you got to: Drive the tanks? Those were fun. Cap - I know you warned about the spoiler but you really need to use the tags. - leXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I just got CoD yesterday, it was awesome! But is there a way to change the shadows? Because there arent any shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapNColostomy Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Sorry and thanks, leXX. And is that how it's done? ? Not trying to be a smartass, I really just don't know how, since I rarely know things before someone else does and have never tried using them. And Crow, I'm not 100% positive, but I seem to remember there being a shadow on/off option in options under video. But since that's the most obvious place to look, I'm probably wrong.

And it'll be forever until my days off rotate back into a weekend off. But if you're up that late this weekend, I'm game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
