@@SteveTpenn call of duty big red one which was the ps2 plugin had a better story and campaign then the basic real call of duty 2 Call of duty 3 did do new things they brought new countries in it to play as however the controls and shooting was crap
I like how your cpu teammates actually kill the enemies in this game whereas nowadays it’s the player doing all of the shooting, stripping us of that war type of feel.
@@apachesparatan5849 man older games are way better than new ones nowadays im playing more older than newer ones replaying Stalker Shadow Of Chernobyl the atmosphere is still incredible
It made you feel like your team was doing something but any enemies your team killed just respawned and vice versa. No advancement was made unless you made the initiative
This might be off the topic of guns but COD WaW got me into WW2 watches such as luxury brands before they were luxury brands and I also collect equipment from the era
@@Zane-TheToiletSalesman If I remember correctly you don’t get to play as a french resistance fighter. I think you played a SAS soldier who was fighting along/helping the french resistance.
The playable soldiers of their respectable nations are: USA, Canadian, British, and Polish, you do play alongside with the French Resistance but you don’t play as them.
Well I doubt you could beat me 1v1 with quick scopes only and undoubtedly you've never did a 360 no scope kill cam so you still have something to look forward to
Played this more than a decade ago, on my ps2. I remember i was blown away with excitment when I first jumped the wall and fell into the St Louis warzone. This game was ahead of its time. Also, really makes me think how come the developers managed to get this game to run on a PS2. Probably the framerate was a$$ but I was too young to notice or care.
Well yah because I will admit when Mcullin died I was literally oh shit... and I feel as if Hucksly animation and voice acting during that scene actually made him look and appear sad as if he looked up to him as he progressed through the war.... which I say because the starting speech from Mcullin is the same one Hucksly gave to you and your squad at the end when you got a new recruit to the squad
3:40 Sgt Frank McCullin: I'm McCullin two rules Rule one: you're no good to me dead Rule two: ah what different does it make you'll all probably end up dead anyway
Man does this bring back memories on the ps2. This game and COD 2 Big Red One, COD 2, Battlefront 2, and all three Sly Cooper games. Times were just simple back then.
This is nothing but nostalgia, the first game I ever really played on my Ps2. Some of my earliest good bonding memories with my dad was playing this game. Man loves history especially WW2. He was born in the late 50s and never had played video games before until I convinced my parents to buy me a PlayStation and call of duty when I was like 7 or 8. Dad loved it because he finally got to kill “Krauts” as he would say. Awesome flood of memories, thanks for the great video and awesome channel 👍🏻
C.o.D Finest Hour, Big Red One, 2, 3, 4, MW2, W.a.W, MW3 Black Ops, Advanced Warfare, and Modern Warfare. Fuck man I miss the days! On PC then Xbox 360/PS3 with my close friends. The magic just ain't the same.
I remember when I used to play this at my friend's place, he would get stuck in the first QTE after I helped him to get that Kraut for good. Than in the mace mission he would get a bug in the cutscene after completing where the characters couldn't get over one single letter. Good times... Good times...
My first COD game...Legendary. I got my PS2 connected to online and this was the first game I played online with other people. I remember there were massive battles with up to 64 players. It was chaos...and it was the most fun I've had.
8:30 scariest door known to 4 year old me I remember doing everything in my power there. I noticed that the kar98 was the strongest gun thatI could find so I tried to walling the guy, I tried saving all my frags and smokes to try to get him, but he'd always survive.
Same here man. Vividly remember trying to kill the guy through the wall and/or try to do anything in my power to progress the mission while avoiding him. You and I learned tho you can’t get around it haha. Old times man
This was the first Call of Duty game I ever played. I remember getting it for the Wii at GameStop and it had this history menu where you could watch videos about the missions in the game and see interviews with veterans. I remember one about a veteran and his first experience with a tank and he tried to shoot at it but the bullets bounced off. It had all these cool informational sides about the guns and history behind the game and I remember being so fascinated by them.
Has anyone else always noticed the absolutely monstrous hands on all the characters in this game? Ever since the first time I've played this I can't help it.
The subtle sound of the typewriter typing when you get the “Checkpoint Reached” just hits different in 2021. Its the little things like that cod lacks nowadays.
I think this game would be known today as the best Call of Duty if it had been available to PC as well. No other COD of the WW2 era had an actual story and meshed it together like this game did, and there is not a single character that isn't extremely well done. The soundtrack is phenomenal, and perfectly encapsulates the sheer desperation of the Normandy breakout. This mission is a perfect introduction to the game with its unadulterated chaos. It was the first game Treyarch made and they did an absolutely phenomenal job.
Man this brings back memories. This game was so well put together, that my parents could watch me play it and actually get fully engaged in the story and action, like it was a movie.
Damn, I remember coming home from elementary school and starting up my PS2 and playing the campaign. From time to time, my cousin and I would have split-screen tank battles in the maps that had drivable tanks. Ah good times
For a game made in less than a year it was impressive and addicting. The one and only game where I could manage 50+ and no deaths online as a sniper. The Nazi helmets were sooooo shiny on xbx360
Love COD 3. Had a wonderful time with it back in the 360 days. Me and my mates would have LAN parties playing this. Veteran mode in this one was so damn hard.
This and Halo 2 were the first games I ever played online. I remember the great online battles me and all my friends used to have. You could host a game and others could join and you could set the timer to last for hours. The one cod I wish was re done.
My first call of duty game. Played through this campaign literally 15 times. What a masterpiece
I played the campaign as much as you did too. This was my first COD game as well
Remember the graphics? I used to go prone and be in awe with the surface details on water lol.
Not really. COD 2 was much better. It tried to hard to be COD 2 but wasn't as good and didn't do anything new.
@@SteveTpenn call of duty big red one which was the ps2 plugin had a better story and campaign then the basic real call of duty 2

Back in the day when the campaign was just as good, if not better than the multiplayer.
The golden years of CoD. (CoD 2 - Black Ops 1 imo)
I like how your cpu teammates actually kill the enemies in this game whereas nowadays it’s the player doing all of the shooting, stripping us of that war type of feel.
I guess that's why I I'm looking for the older games.
The A.I. will literally wait for you to move forward. It really takes you out of the Immersion.

@@Viper-jr4sp That's what I noticed as well. They have a lot more atmosphere.

This is what got me into WW2 as a kid and now I’m a WW2 firearm collector. Nostalgia is strong.
@Kaiser Jerry big red one is 100% the best

@@Masonrytodger interesting. Like something a ww2 soldier would loot
@@josephthomas8318 Yes sir
Last call of duty I played on the PS2. I really appreciated that this game let you played as Canadians and Free Polish.
same here
Don’t you mean the French resistance
@@Zane-TheToiletSalesman If I remember correctly you don’t get to play as a french resistance fighter. I think you played a SAS soldier who was fighting along/helping the french resistance.
Oh fuck was it the polish.... I thought it was the French because I hadn’t played that game in about a few years
The playable soldiers of their respectable nations are: USA, Canadian, British, and Polish, you do play alongside with the French Resistance but you don’t play as them.
You opened up a memory hard core
Indeed
You kind of cute.
God, playing this game for the first time and how excited/happy I was is something I’ll never experience again.
Well I doubt you could beat me 1v1 with quick scopes only and undoubtedly you've never did a 360 no scope kill cam so you still have something to look forward to
I remember playing this game on Xbox 360 in 2007. Miss those days
I remember playing on the PS2 ... good times
I had it on PS2 and PS3 too :)
I remember having a ps2 now I moved to a Xbox mane those where the good days😖
Yeah good times I miss those times
Same and still playing on Xbox 360 :)
Same
This game needs a good Remastered
No need that, the game is already remastered
@@uglies7056 but can you play it on pc?
@@saveriannathan1415 my laptop is potato man, and yes this game can run on PC with RPCS3
I’d prefer world at war
All classic call of duties do
To this day... Nichols never got his 5 bucks, and is still wondering what rule 2 is.
I loved the fake mission end at 15:39
I remember being initially tricked for a second the first time I played this, till I saw the Panzer IV in the background.
@@welkingunther5417 I didn’t even notice it lol, when I played I put the controller down to get a drink and was like wtf when we got shot at.
They should do that more often
That’s another unique feature about the good old COD games
It amazes me at how these older cod’s are more accurate when it comes to tiny details such as uniforms and gear compared to newer games such as WWII
Yeah far more authentic WW2 games
Games were made with soul back then, by people who cared.
Now games are just literally soulless money making products.
3:40 the most inspiring piece of dialogue for any game ever.
That's kind of rude
@@peternehemiah1606 mild sarcasm
This was the FIRST Xbox 360 game that I played. Kept me sane whilst I waited for Halo 3 to come out that Autumn. Thanks for this blast from the past.
There is something magical about German soldiers yelling SANITÄTER in this game
"Medic!"
Ever hear it in battlefield?? Even better
They say it again in World at War
I remember being six years old and this opening to the game was so intense I nearly had to pause the game cause my heart was racing
I could never beat the part where you first wrestle a German
@@rubenlopez3364 YOOOOO WE ARE THE SAMEE
@@saveriannathan1415 hahahahahahah I had the same problem mostly because I had to look at the controller to find the buttons lmao
@@gsm6808 for me, it's just the fact that im just a 8 y.o that didn't know how to play the game
$5.00 in 1944 is $75.00 in today's money!
Actually $95.28 in today’s money which is wild yeah I used the inflation calculator
Used to be a lot back then
I had the same thought. He said 5 bucks and I was like that's wild!

I own it on ps2, and am in my early 20s, and i never noticed any framerate issues.
@@cadjebushey6524 you lucky
Our young minds cancelled that out since we had never played or seen anything different so it was the best of it's time for us youngins
I just recently compared the PS2 and Xbox 360 versions and there isn’t a huge difference.
@@JA-rk9cg which one is better?
5:05 Poor guy, all he had to do was chase the damn truck
Cj
I remember thinking this game looking SO REAL with the clothing having all those realistic folds.
It still looks pretty good all these years later.
7:04 Too bad you weren't outside. That was a plane crashing into the church. Awesome
In fact this is the first call of duty I ever played and today has more personality than modern games
true, I remember Hux and McCullin better than any of the characters from cod ww2
Well yah because I will admit when Mcullin died I was literally oh shit... and I feel as if Hucksly animation and voice acting during that scene actually made him look and appear sad as if he looked up to him as he progressed through the war.... which I say because the starting speech from Mcullin is the same one Hucksly gave to you and your squad at the end when you got a new recruit to the squad
@@Zane-TheToiletSalesman I think this was the first game that made me sad when I was a kid seeing Dixon die...
Actual cod's are made for children,this cod is for the men.
I remember my uncle playing this and freaking out at how realistic the grass behaved lmao. Simpler times.
Now these are the call of duty’s that need to be remastered
It kinda was remastered on the 360 it had slightly better graphics which is this one
Till now Nichols didn’t get his five bucks...
If you play this in Veteran it is like being in a movie.
3:40 Sgt Frank McCullin: I'm McCullin two rules Rule one: you're no good to me dead Rule two: ah what different does it make you'll all probably end up dead anyway
dixon's death broke my heart, we were so close from winning the war and he just got shot dead. im shooting and crying at the same time.
I think it was Call of Duty 3 and Medal of Honor (modern one) that made me cry because I got so connected to the characters. Never forgot Dixon.
Man does this bring back memories on the ps2. This game and COD 2 Big Red One, COD 2, Battlefront 2, and all three Sly Cooper games. Times were just simple back then.
Sly Cooper lol. With the 3D glasses in the third installment.
Big red one is still one of my favorite games till this day. Such a fun game played the game so much on my PS2 I broke the disc lol
I remember playing this on the Xbox 360. Those were the glory days
8:34 I used to have a nightmare with this guy when I was young
Lol really?
please tell us lol
I fucking loved this one. Call of duty 2 is where it all started for me
I remember sitting down for hours with my brother and watching him play this I don’t think we ever even beat it lol
only on console
I was so dedicated to this CoD, I had this on 360, PS2 and even on the damn Wii

Really good walkthrough video @AFGuidesHD
For those wondering what its actually like in the back of a military vehicle 5:05
I don’t remember the first call of duty I served in but The Big Red One was my favorite when I was 9
Back in the day me and my mate thought the narrator said ‘nutty sauces entered a palace’
Man this brings back memories. This game was so well put together, that my parents could watch me play it and actually get fully engaged in the story and action, like it was a movie.
The most memorable (early COD) level of my childhood
It all began with COD Finest Hour for me, then COD 2, COD 2 Big Red One, COD 3,
They need to remaster COD Finest Hour
The night I got this game way back when my dad brought home pizza, what a combo, COD & pizza.
I remember playing this on the Wii back in the day. The wrestling scene with the nazi in the house took so many tries.
This is the first call of duty I’ve played and it was a great introduction to an amazing series!😄
That guy in the beginning bet 5 whole dollars that he couldn't hit the targets... That's worth about 75 bucks today lmfaooooo

Childhood games,i still remember when i was playing on ps2 my grandma watching me play,now my grandma pass away,just a memories that time
Awww good old days.
Coolest intro to a COD game.
I always play this game since we were childhood
Used to play this at Walmart on the demo consoles they set up. It became a weekly ritual when my parents made me go grocery shopping with them.
Didn't remember Nichols had to scream while throwing a grenade, maybe it's on Xbox not on PS2
Yes
The opening scene sound was the best of all time
Soundtrack*
This is when you actually learned something from cod how times have changed
One of the best most organic beginnings to a COD game.

The game’s graphics are pretty good for being a 2006 game

More advanced than Modern Warfare 2007 and World At War. Why did they downgraded the graphics?
@@brndonlu9635 I think they were about the same right? Maybe a few more added textures in COD4* n WaW

It’s also 60fps
I remember playing this, rented it from a local video store and couldn't complete it because of time. Still enjoyed it
As a kid I didn’t even get passed the first hand to hand combat with the german soldier. I’d be so scared to walk into that room 😂
I remember playing this on the Wii
When WW2 games had swatika flags
Good old times :')

Epico 🤠🤠🤠
