Call of Duty FH(Xbox)

[Mr Bean]

Just picked up the game today, and will so post my thoughts on this possible "wrong" from the Call of Duty folks(Who as yet can do no wrong)

[Mr Bean]

Alright I played a few hours of the game, gone through the Russian Campain and parts of the British

And the first thing I have to say the old Call of Duty storytelling style(One Solider per side) is what I prefer, However the new, One Trooper for a few missions then the next is not as bad as I thought it would be, see as you run into the next person you will be playing as on your last mission, From Russian Cannon-Fodder to Russian Female Sniper to Russian Tank Commander(Who rarley stays in his tank for some reason )

The Tank Commander particlaly bugged me as every five minutes you get in the tank, then suddenly, a small rock, a puppy or a broke down tank suddenly require you to DISMOUNT, leave with the entirty of your crew(Minus Mr Fix it Tank-Guy as I called him because he spent 50% of his time under the tank and the other 50% in it), And then gleefuly traval into enemy fire on foot, Your a freken Tank Commander! Not a damn grunt!(For some reason he also is carring a Submacinegun and the 47 round MG who's name I forget, Not only is he a great tanker But he's also Rambo)

The British Campain first few minutes is particulary bad, Why? "Clear three MG 42 Positions.... Back route? Nope, Nade it? Yeah you got nades but your to far from the guns to throw it, Cover to sneak up with? Nope
Here! Take a rifle, strife out into Machinegun Fire and try and shoot the gunner(Who has a backup who hops in the SECOND you get the first guy)


This Xbox game while brand new, Is at the moment is a mixed Bad
It Feels like Medal of Duty rather than the Call of Duty we've all come to love


The Good: Nearly all the Voice acting(Minus one "Russian" Sargent, you'll know who) The Voice intro's by the Troops your about to play and the reason's they are fighting. Stalingrad part II nearly as good as the first games

The Bad: Durability of the enemys(M40 normal is five-six shots even if its headshots) The fact the screen flashs red when you take a hit, not just red red, But you can't see anything for a few seconds red which means that a chance bullet usaly means your death as you stumble forward blindly

The Worst: The Shellshock effect has been changed from the Saving Private Ryan to... for some reason, The Max Payne Bullet time... I shit you not the few times I got shell-shocked by the game I suddenly was able to EASLY outrun my enemys and move nearly as fast as normal



Summination: This game reaaly feels like they added some good things, tried out some new stuff(Which is nearly all good) And kinda forgot and fucked up some of the core dynamics(No one Fights alone!... Except you Russian Tank Commander! Shoot down that Stuka which is flying in a strait line ten feet off the ground for some reason!) A few bad levels(Sewer Level for the Russian Sniper, Intro Courtyard for the Brits)

Last note, MG42's with the rumble effect turned on? They went to town with those
