Award: Graphite Pencil
Graphite Pencil / Gaming / Console Games / 2006
Call of Duty 2 delivers an unparalleled portrayal of the cinematic intensity and chaos of battle as seen through the eyes of ordinary soldiers fighting together in epic World War II conflict. It offers more immense, more intense and more realistic battles than ever, as players experience four individual soldiers’ stories of overcoming insurmountable odds in multiple campaigns. The game features stunningly realistic graphics that include beautifully rendered weather effects and smoke, complete with dynamic lighting and shadows. Expansive, open-ended battlefields allow players to individualise tactics and choose the order in which they complete their objectives. The game has an all-new, context-sensitive battle chatter system where, through advanced AI, the player’s squad mates and enemy troops alike call out updates in real-time based on the ever-changing battlefield conditions. Each squad employs actual tactics to draw enemy fire, lays down suppressing cover, and even uses foxholes and moving tanks for cover. Finally, players can go online for Axis vs Allies team-based multiplayer action.
