Call of duty 1 review by me

Just finished Call of duty 1 on Veteran mode.
It was very very difficult, there were missions where I died hundreds of times (ofc savescummed), I always lost my hp 10% into every level, so for 90% of the level I usually had 1 hp
Pavlov's house was the hardest, I died I think 200 times there

Overall it is a good game but it is very limited. Not always OLD GOOD.
American campaign was kino, first couple of missions worked really you felt like a part of the squad
British campaign was too over the top, was supposed to be a commando-stealth but there are no stealth mechanics, you just kill 500 Germans by yourself. In American and Soviet campaign it made more sense to have this many enemies, but British campaign felt like a different game.
Soviet campaign was good but it also got tiring by how many Germans you have to kill
Epecially with script-walls for enemies spawning, you know they will be in that spot there, but they will only spawn once you walk in the open so you cant snipe them now.
I rate it 7/10
Most thing it lacks is stealth mechanics, you can never surprise your enemies and they always know where you are

Did you play MoHAA?

no

I always found the russian campaign overrated. 2 levels don't even have gameplay. It looks cool, but for repeated playthroughs it's boring.

Play UO next it's better.

tl;dr

I really didnt like Veteran on CoD1 since bullets hitting you or not was pretty much entirely RNG and there were multiple driving and turret sections where you just had to pray to RNGeus to survive. It was both way easier than later veterans and more annoying

You should, it's basically Call of Duty 0 made by the very same guys under different name, though the missions are more solo.

>200 times
Holy shit man get good.

I agree about the British campaign.
My favorite mission was the mansion infiltration with the BAR. Next favorite is the first mission of the Russian campaign. I honestly think it's an 8/10 but I didn't think it was as hard or frustrating as you did.
MoH:AA is a 7/10 and has been surpassed by nearly every single CoD campaign.

you are probably right in all your critics, but remember back at its time it was a huge improvement on mohaa, in terms of visual effects and (especially explosions / gun fires) aswell as having several AI soldiers fighting against each other dynamically on nearly every scene.

>these are the fags that spam metacritic scores with oh no no no

I kinda miss the early 00's WW2 shooter era. COD WW2 just doesn't feel the same.

Most if not all of your criticisms are right and your score is fair for someone playing it today but
>Hundreds of deaths
dude

im still playing Call of Duty 1.1 Online, still the best online shooter

How can I play it today? It was my facorire multiplayer back then together with DoD.

Bastogne in COD UO was to fucking comfy level

I remember tons of AI squadmates being present in every mission making a really huge impact on me since it always annoyed me you were one man army in other games.

if you want cod 1.1 u need the disc because steam is 1.5 i think

Shit
I'll try to find it online.
Once I have it, what do I do?

On me too.
Even though it was obvious that they were just respawning behind me somewhere and they weren't all that useful just seeing those other people there made the game feel a lot different

just open multiplayer and join a server

should I play it on hardened to enjoy it? First couple of levels were super intense, loved it but I don't want to run into some unplayable bullshit later on so I wanted to switch now when I still can

*first couple of levels on Veteran

if you know how to do fast fire and fast reload it's really easy

Same

i love these 2000s style WW2 games. when medal of honor heroes 1 and 2 came out on PSP i was in heaven. having the same kind of action on a portable was mind blowing to me, and i had to have dumped hundreds of hours into the skirmish mode it had too

i streamed cod1 here and there, i could show of some cool tricks and console commands.

I loved that era of games, especially Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

And then it all went downhill. CoD 1 was the last good shooter.

You could easily find their spawn spots, but they were always made in a way that it seemed they're actually coming from somewhere and not just spawning out of thin air on your eyes. Honestly, I miss the times of WW2 games where the campaigns are structured in a way that you're just a simple soldier that's doing normal missions. Nowadays everything needs to be personal, psychological and with some Hollywood plot. It's the same with war movies, I still love watching the old classics where it's all about the warfare with a tiny bit of psychological themes instead of the current trend of WAR BAD with half the movie about soldiers just talking and the other about crying.

How did we go from endings like this

To endings like this:

>b-but they are also waving the soviet flag in the first game
Not only that is portraying a actual real event but its done done in the obvious propagandist tone of gigantic flag waving perfectly on the bow of a ship while the sun rises, guitar riffs play and charecters pat themselves on the back for america winning.

Play the expansion pack, its pure kino

really? No hamachi or other stuff needed?
I'm surprised

>RtCW
Not really a WW2 game in my eyes, but one of the GOATs nonetheless.

Who /BigRedOne/ here?

The audience shifted to American consolecuck simpletons.

Yes
There is nothing to veteran aside from you taking more damage and no med kits

United Offensive is one of my favorite games ever, I remember playing the multiplayer in it for like 16 hours a day during the summer when I was a kid.

>MoH
>CoD
>H&D
>RtCW
It was a different time

I loved UO but I didn't like the inclusion of tanks in to the multiplayer. maps were too small for that and it just felt like trying to do what battlefield 1942 was doing.

Same here, CoD2 didn't grab me the same way vCoD and UO did (I remember being excited that British had M1 and Thompson in MP though) and I went back to UO pretty quickly. Played that shit to death.

United Offensive was fucking excellent, might have to do another playthrough
Also brilliant, played it again over last Christmas

I also miss Brothers in Arms for the Band of Brothers vibes. I miss all the old WW2 shooters. Post some kino theme songs
I don't like this game more than the older Brothers in Arms or the older CODs, but the theme is great
youtu.be/a7F3OXtMc9Q
Based. Great banter in that game from the squad

Most servers had them disabled after the novelty wore off. S&D was the only gametype that mattered anyways and it didn't support vehicles.

As a PCfag, I like it.
Also CoD3 is now pretty playable on RPCS3, you can even force 60 fps, but it's less stable.

How does Big Red One hold up? I remember it being exceptionally well but that's probably nostalgia. UO is great as well

VICTORY OR DEATH

kino
Also younger me was extremely confused when the game threw frenchmen at me on north african levels. Didn't know about vichy france yet and looking back at it the it was a nice touch for the game to include it

youtube.com/watch?v=GFJwR00HrFA
It's technically from a consolecuck game, but it was present in every MoH game aside from Pacific Assault I believe (MoH had a lot of soundtrack reusage, which is fine considering how good they were).

youtube.com/watch?v=JDtMYDTto-k
chills every time

WAIT. I loved this game as a kid, looked up the voice actors and Mark Hamil is the narrator and there's a handful of Band of Brothers actors that voiced characters. I knew the guys sounded familiar in this game. Making me want to replay it now

That's just MoH theme btw, not specific to MoH Heroes.

COD 3 was okay to me when I was younger. Why does everyone hate it?

I know but I didn't remember where I heard it first. Is it from AA?

Is the UO Multiplayer still active? That shit was legendary

Campaign is pretty bullshit on higher difficulties. I mean it was rushed in 8 months.
Also unskippable loading movies.

Held up really well in my opinion, probably helped by the nostalgia goggles but visuals and sound were perfectly acceptable and gameplay was just as fun as it ever was

Technically newer but still... when all the instruments swell in
youtu.be/W2bRfxLSQ_o

fuck man brothers in arms was fucking great.
Wht the fuck did gearbox have to kill it with that stupid inglorious basterds bullshit?

That letter in the extra sessions about Allen and Garnett being so close that they'd even die together always gets me.

Yes

Is there a more iconic Call of Duty map than Carentan?

Attached: 00024766-photo-call-of-duty.jpg (1600x1200, 1.56M)

I also played this just this week, i played on hardened and it was extremely annoying to get killed so often
I just decided to play to play UO on regular because of that
It's not even fun how unfair some of the damage taken and deaths are
other than that this game is kino
the most kino was the russian part for me
how they just send hordes of men without weapons just because that all the russian army had, so many more men than the germs

St. Mere Eglise is pretty iconic too. Also mp_harbor

Is anyone patrician enough to know what peds_puzzle is?

wasn't that a jump map

My brothers... even though they went for a more "cinematic" experience in Hell's Highway, I still loved the game. The opening still gives me chills

how's it no a ww2 game?

>all the custom multiplayer maps
>custom vehicles, fucking planes
>surprisingly civil yet competitive multiplayer
I wanna go back

>you now remember Base Assault game mode

What was the worst map to play on? For me it's Brecourt.

I don't know why but I was always fascinated with how the base would cave in after you blew it up, just simple details that we take for granted now just seemed really cool to me when I was a kid.
I like but also hate Brecourt, I always did really shittily on it because snipers would just destroy you if you went out in the open fields.

CoD 2's singleplayer is significantly better

>>all the custom multiplayer maps
>Barbarossa
>Smolensk
>Vitebsk
>Townassault and Gunassault
>Ardennes_1944
>Broadsword
>All the single-base base assault maps with names I can't remember
The saddest shit is being unable to find any of them anywhere to redownload and all the old forums with them being long gone. Also jumps maps were amazingly cozy. And the zombies mode was god-tier despite being a copy of Counterstrike's.
