I imagine most know Call of Duty, a World War II game where you fight off the Germans. You are mostly on foot, typically with your allies. There are occasions where you may fly in a plane (controling the gunners), in a car/lorry, or even driving a tank.
For those who are curious as to what is in the package:
Some, as myself, was curious when reading "Requires DVD-Drive". I myself, wasn't sure if this meant ONLY COD 2 or both. It turns out, they mean both.
This also seems to include the same sort of package as "Call of Duty: Deluxe Edition".
One small warning for linux users. I had tried this under mandrivalinux 2007, and although it did install (COD), there were some errors and I wasn't able to play them.
It's possible that there is a solution, but best to ask in a linux forum first.
The Call of Duty Deluxe Edition does work with loki installers which is found at liflg (Linux Installers For Linux Games; note the cap) dot org. You need cedega to at least be installed on your system, but once that goes through, it works great, better than windows.
I imagine of course, this WarChest collection would work well under Win XP, being it was designed for it, however, I am only using a linux system.
Hope this was of some help. |
If you liked Medal Of Honor...

...you'll like this. They are very similar, both using the Quake III Arena engine. I found both COD and the early MOH series to be exceptionally playable and enjoyable even now, years after they were released. COD brings to the player an authentic taste of the chaos and confusion of battle. The environments are excellent. I like MOH slightly more because I think it was a little more meticulous in its accuracy, but that could be a simple matter of perception. If you like WWII history and like the First Person Shooter style of gaming, you can't help but like these games.
This particular package includes the original COD game, the United Offensive expansion, and COD2 which makes it a pretty good value for the bucks.
COD2 is more advanced in terms of graphics, requiring a more powerful computer. Besides that, COD2 does not allow the user to SAVE on command, but instead uses only the checkpoint system more common to console games. The original COD allows saves and does automatic saving as well. I found that quite appealing since I will sometimes forget to save during intense battle and it's nice to find the game has had a save or two since my my last manual save. In any case, COD2 saves often enough that you're rarely set back very far if you get killed.
Another thing I like about the COD series is it's simplicity. Yes, that means it's quite linear, but I don't find that objectionable. I'm not into complexity and the learning curve that entails. If you're like me and like to jump into a game and get up to speed in a hurry, this fits the bill.

| Both COD and COD2 are amazing in their own areas. the first COD is extremely long and very unique and excellently detailed. Huge weapons selection, bigger than any other WW2 game ive ever seen. Even a flamethrower! The expansion itself is long, everything takes time even on easy, great game, it didnt win GOTY for nothing. COD2 is also amazing, with phenomenal textures and smoke effects. Much better hit point system and still just as fun though not quite as long. Well worth the money friends. I strongly recommend this to any fans of the WW2 series of games. I would say this is way better than MOHAA. |
Great start to a lengendary series

| Well I got this pack because I loved Call of Duty 2 , it was my favorite out of any game they made. Coming from playing COD Modern Warfare and World at War, this is quite a downgrade, especially the original Call of Duty and United Offense. The graphics in today's games are far superior, but I remember when COD 2 had really good graphics so I guess it comes with the territory. Anyhow, I pretty much knew the graphics weren't the best but I bought it anyways because I wanted to play the Battle of the Bulge mission on United Offense, and buying all three of these in a pack is the best deal you can find. Honestly, I believe 19.99 with free shipping would have been the right asking price considering how old these games are but nonetheless they are good games. They are all WWII related. I play COD and COD 2 on and off and I hate going back to COD because of the crappy graphics, but I never played it before and wanted to see what it's like. They all have very similar story lines in that you fight the Nazis, etc and each game has like a sniper mission, etc etc. I actually liked World at War the best, but it was too buggy so I sold it. Anyways, I would still recommend this package to anyone who wants to get in the Call of Duty series and wants to start from the beginning, you will see just how much technology progresses over the years, it's kinda fun. |
