Call of Duty 2

Call of Duty 2 is a first-person shooter video game and the second installment in the critically acclaimed Call of Duty series. It was developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, but was published by Konami in the Japanese market. The game was released on October 25, 2005 for Microsoft Windows and on November 22, 2005 as a launch game for the Xbox 360 in Europe, Australia and North America, and later in Japan. Other versions were made for mobile phones as well as Pocket PCs.
The game is set during World War II and the campaign mode is experienced through the perspectives of four soldiers: one in the Red Army, one in the United States Army, and two in the British Army. It contains four individual campaigns, split into three stories, with a total of twenty-seven missions. Activision officially announced the game on April 7, 2005 in a press release. Many things were added and changed from the original Call of Duty. The most notable change is the regenerating health, similar to the original Halo trilogy of games. Additions include an icon that indicates a nearby grenade about to go off.

The game was met with a positive public reception, where critics praised the game particularly for the graphics, sound and the regenerating health system. The Xbox 360 version sold over 250,000 copies in its first week, and had sold 2 million copies by January 2008. There was some controversy in advertisement, where the commercial depicted a first-person view of events that were supposed to transpire during the game, rather than scenes from the game itself, making some consumers feel that the advertisements were misleading.
