Call of Duty 2
The sequel to the 2003 Game of the Year debuts on Xbox 360 in high- definition and full 5.1 surround sound with bigger battles, more weapons, more troops and unprecedented special effects that literally envelop next generation gamers into the cinematic intensity and chaos of war like never before. Powered by a proprietary new engine designed to utilize the power of the Xbox 360's multi-core technology, players enlist in the most authentic and realistic squad combat ever. The game's context-sensitive battle chatter system features more than 20,000 lines of dialogue, bringing the harsh sound of warfare to life. Visual effects, ranging from heat shimmers and sandy dust swaying across the scorching desert, to amazing smoke effects that fog the battlefield and characters blowing on their hands to stay warm in the winter- blizzard conditions of Russia, provide a level of realism that makes you feel as though you're in the thick of battle. Call of Duty 2 also features multiplayer game modes on Xbox Live® online gaming system and System Link, and even delivers intense 2 - 4 player split screen action.
