2005 video game

Call of Duty 2 is a 2005 first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity 🎅 Ward and published by Activision in most regions of the world. It is the second installment of the Call of 🎅 Duty series. Announced by Activision on April 7, 2005, the game was released for Microsoft Windows on October 25, 2005, 🎅 and as a launch title for the Xbox 360 on November 22, 2005.[4] Other versions were eventually released for OS 🎅 X, mobile phones, and 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 27 missions. Many features were 🎅 added and changed from the original Call of Duty, notably regenerating health and an icon that indicates a nearby grenade 🎅 about to explode.

The game drew critical praise, particularly for the graphics, sound, and the regenerating health system. The Xbox 360 🎅 version sold more than 250,000 copies in its first week, more than 2 million copies by January 2008, and nearly 🎅 6 million copies by November 2013.[9] It is considered to be one of the best video games of all time.
