The Second Call of Duty - Veteran
Ойындар
We press on to 2005 to take on the Call of Duty 2 campaign, considered another masterpiece of the series. Like the other early titles I've seen nothing about CoD2, and of course we'll be taking on the Veteran difficulty. Now that health can regenerate, let the grenades begin...

The standards surely changed till then, but for its time, it's truly looking very good! This game felt so consistent in its visuals, the world textures feel very nicely combined, the props and entity models blend very nicely as well, the lighting, although aged, works fine for what it is and yeah! It does look good! No wonder COD games until BO2 had that COD2's feeling in them. COD1 may have started the franchise, but COD2 started the main COD engine.

Man those were the days. I remember seeing a buddy of mine play this when the 360 first came out my 8th grade year and I was just stunned at how good it looked. The lighting, effects like fire and smoke particles, and the detail of the environment were far beyond anything I had ever seen before. The graphical leap between the original Xbox and the 360 just can't be overstated, it was huge. The game was really good too, multiplayer was a blast!

General Dwight D. EisenS0ur left an indelible mark on the CoD 2 campaign, glad we had him in our corner.
15:27 you actually got me with that "mission complete" lmao
"Hold on Davis it might get a little bumpy" was my dad's favourite line for a good few years it's now engrained into my memory and shall never leave.
I have not played COD 2 but I IMMEDIATELY recognize the voice of Cpl. Dima (Russian). He played Pavel Morozov, one of the main "Red Line" characters in METRO: Last Light. I think it was Mark Ivanir.
The man, the myth, the legend returns with another one!
I remember this being my Christmas gift along with an xbox 360 back in 2005. My jaw hit the floor by how much better the game's graphic fidelity looked compared to last gen CoD games.
This was my first experience with COD as a kid. I was blown away by this campaign, and it also sparked my interest in actual WWII history, as I am Jewish too.
Who else is enjoying these older COD games compared to the crap we have now.
So happy your playing this as there are very little game play commentaries on the first 3 cods
What can I say about COD2... It's truly a masterpiece. For me it still stands between some of the best COD games. The simplicity in its gameplay made it so solid that feels good to revisit it on veteran even to this day. I myself had replayed it on veteran a few months ago and it was a blast. Sure it has the moments where it saves right before you die, and grenade spam, but besides that it's very fun to play if you chose to go in slow pace taking cover to cover, peeking through corners, using rifles for longshots and saving ammo, and smgs for closeups, and STG/BAR/BREN for both! The guns, although deep down unbalanced, feel right, rifles feel like rifles, smgs like smgs, and so on. The chaotic mission design makes it very authentic as well, despite the unavoidable historical inconsistencies that every game has now and then. Thing is, that when those "inaccuraciess" are so trivial, it doesn't take away from the authenticity of the experience. Something newer ww2 games suffer from. Very happy you had fun with this, it's one of my top favorites, and having revisited it on veteran multiple times in the last few years, I have to welcome you to the club! And Merry Christmas!

@@hmm8445 Really was more of a technical limitation than anything. It's why there aren't ever that many enemies on screen in MoH1, and why MoH Underground's framerate would tank sometimes, trying to push more enemies on screen than the system could comfortably handle. And there wasn't really any other shooter on the market, save Rainbow Six on PC, that had you fighting alongside allies. It was just part of FPS design at the time. Given the time, the first few MoH games were amazing. And they're honestly still fun, I've been playing them the last few days - it just takes extra effort to suspend your disbelief. CoD definitely blew them all away when it came out, though.

Considering he just did MoH:AA recently, I'm reminded why I don't play MOH:AA and its expansion packs on HARD. Breakthrough as a kid made my ass into no-man's land ON EASY. Also, saying MOH sucks kind of hurts my inner child, that was my childhood and I still own my PS1 copies of MOH/MOH:Underground. I still got nightmares from those goddamn dogs in Panzerknacker Unleashed!
I appreciate the simple "people did this." during the Pointe du Hoc landing. No OTT youtuber reaction, just paying respect to the reality the game is emulating
This has to be one of my favorites series on youtube
This was my first every CoD. It may also be my favourite. Me and my Granddad played through this campaign so much. I miss those days.
Man, I wish Big Red One and Finest Hour were on PC. Veteran playthroughs of those would be amazing to watch
I love this campaign, I still remember the El Alamein missions, like when the mg42 shoots thru the door. Can't wait to binge this.
1:35:40 hearing the German voices when you find the guns is actually such a nice detail. Historically, the the 2 GI's that found and spiked the guns did so right under the nose of a German platoon getting their attack orders from their officer in the ajacent field, which is what you hear :)

That's a cool detail; I always wondered why they sounded so close, like they were "getting ready" to attack.
Fun fact: Some of the German soldiers in the Europe levels are actually Spanish "Blue Division" volunteers. You can tell because of the Spanish flag on the side of their helmets. They're not supposed to be present on the western front. They only volunteered for the eastern front. That was a stipulation set by Francisco Franco. Still it's nice they were included in the game.
This campaign is definitely not as difficult as the earlier ones, but truly goated
Omg I was looking all over your channel for cod 2. Thank you. I have something to watch right after work :)
This was my first COD game and it made me fall in love with the series ever since, Also the first time where I met the Legend himself, Captain Price. Man! The nostalgia😪
Glad to see a new classic cod video, could you do Finest Hour next?
He even quotes United offensive sections in another CoD. Nice. That's how memorable expansion for first game is.
I must say, that this video is just brilliant. A nearly 3-hour-long video, and subtitled all the way so I can watch it while going to sleep, without having to wear headphones 🤯 also, timestamped all the way. Can't imagine the amount of work making these videos takes. Pure legend, earned a sub here 🤝
I’ve been using this to sleep recently which really is a compliment your voice is calming and cod 2 is nostalgic for me
man, i’m really hoping we get a video on big red one and finest hour, my childhood put together
I'm so hyped I've been waiting for this playthrough, the first one was so good and the reason I found your channel!

This made me nostalgic even though I was a Medal of Honor kid back when these games were coming out. Hey, maybe 10 years from now when you finish the rest of the COD campaigns, you can go back and play the Medal of Honor games on their hardest difficulties.

That would be great! So many memories of scenes in those games that left such an impression on little impressionable me as a boy!
I hated vet on cod 2, no running / nade spam, but my greatest memory was at the end of level were you attempt to take out a tiger in a german town at night, towards the end were you reach the final house, i walked(no sprinting mechanics) so hard that i actually went behind the German spawn point and mowed down a whole npc line with a mp44, the burst of dopamine i got was strong, such a solid memory! Such a fun game
I applaud your effort replicating the Eisenhower speech. It’s a piece of history and a iconic mission opening to an iconic game, so I’m unironically glad you did that.
You literally experienced my pain and struggles throughout this game. I salute you sir.
Don't know if you realized it, but you can use the binoculars in the tank missions to fire at distant targets. I was yesterday years old when I realized that.
You just made my day at work much better!
New here but man oh man. Have fun. Just wait till you get to cod 3. Rip online multiplayer
The man of the people!! Been waiting for this one!
This has been my favourite COD ever since. No "saving the world" bullshit, just average infantry experience. The British missions are my favourites
This in my opinion is the best cod so many memories. Thank you man
My absolute favorite Call of Duty and a extremely underrated one at that! I played the campaign over and over when it first came out, lots of great memories..
Genuinely, this campaign is bloody hard and a campaign I come back to more than any other CoD
I literally just FOUND and then INSTALLED my original COD (2003) game on Windows 10... 2 CDs... etc... I can't believe you JUST uploaded COD and now COD 2 (10 days ago) - NICE VIDEOS! I liked & subbed...
Can’t wait for the next one I literally watch every one of these and when I saw this one today I couldn’t wait till I got home
This game taught me English. I have memorized nearly all of it's lines. More importantly this game introduced me to German. After learning some more i was blown away with the German quotes. Because they are not random. They give each other real time information about your position. Play this in German and modern warfare modes. You won't be dissapointed.

I remember when I first saw gameplay of COD 2 was when someone at Best Buy was playing the campaign demo they had on one of those Xbox stands. Coming from playing MOH: Frontline, I thought it was the most realistic and mind blowing graphics

I had to look at my keyboard when you showed the icon on your keyboard. I have the exact same one as your old one. How hilarious!
2:06:03 there is Webley revolver in one of this houses. It's only in this mission.
Yes gotta love having a notification from the goat

Can't believe so much time has passed and this game is almost 20 years old. It aged well.

CoD 2 was such a memorable game for the graphics leap. I remember being blown away by how good the graphics were when this came out. This and CoD 4 were the two that had that effect.
Sheesh the memory i remember playing this game with my dad, i owe my dad a lot, including my love of video game, i miss him so much.
seeing you try to run everytime reminds me of trying to play any of the og halos when there was no running you just end up throwing random stuff everytime you press shift xD
Love the random melee atk lmao you got that reflex for sprinting
I'm excited to start this in my quest to earn 1000 GS or a platinum trophy for every CoD where possible. This game only had achievements on XBOX and not trophies on PS3, so I'll be completing this on XBOX. This campaign looks difficult, but glad to know you don't have to worry about finite health / lack of health regen like in CoD 1. That is still the hardest CoD campaign and probably one of the hardest campaigns I've ever played in general. So amazingly hard. Pavlov's House....

cod 2 will forever and always be the best in my heart. wish that cod campaigns now could bring back the magic this campaign had.

Number 2 was one of my favs and the first time in a cod i can recall u were able to drive vehicles i also loved the ppsh in the game
