Call of Duty 2 - Mac

The only reason I don't give this a higher rating is that while playing the game, the video goes awry. This does not make play impossible, but does take away from the the fun. This video problem is limited to this game.

I bought this game to play on my Macbook Pro. It works great, and it is really fun. The graphics are not the best, but it is an old game. Overall, a great game for the price.

First, in my opinion, playing the first person shooter in games depicting in modern/current wars going on right now involving our U.S. Troops( whose currently serving, risking their lives, honoring their commitment to protect/defend our country, and us all happen to be privileged to be in their defending/protection work abroad ) makes it dishonoring them to play such. Also it demeans the value of respect for LIFE in general in devaluing civilian lives elsewhere that just happens to be in the midst of these warring conflicts, being at the mercy of these war-torned turmoils, between bad people in power in their countries and our U.S./Allies' troops fighting them. How can we cheapen our troops' efforts and honor at risking their REAL lives in constant REAL danger every moment that's currently going on right now in these foreign soils conflicts by playing a 'simulation' game of being them doing their job as 'current/modern day armchair soldiers'? Just please think about it, if you ignore anything else of this. That's why I prefer historian first shooter games that's already gone in history, like from WWII and so on, as like this CoD2, and such. Aspyr did a pretty good job at putting those of us who's never been in wars to see a small glimpse of what it's like if we were in one of these past war soldier's shoes, so we can appreciate what our fallen soldiers did for us in REAL in past to present time, serving in foreign and domestic soils, defending their countries to their last dying breath. Putting us in one of these countless soldier's eyes that's gone on from that past war time, having done their duty to either a youthful death in battle, or lived on and died an old death after carrying the painful scars of memories for years of those gone before them that they served with, having always missed their fallen comrades and friends. I think it serves our young people playing this to help them appreciate what our veteran forefathers who've serve in past wars' campaigns have done for their families and countries and us, for each time I see my character's fallen in visual realism depictions and seeing his living sights to that final moment in battle, narrowed into a dark tunnel vision of final closures... I keep being reminded and am grateful to the Almighty that I was spared to not have to face such as our forefathers was born to have to face then; and as our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and sons and daughters are currently facing such risks in REAL right now in foreign soils. I could really feel what MUST be the first thoughts for many of these countless soldiers who first gone in real battle, whether they were drafted, or signed up for such 'serve your country' duties in the Armed Forces, and seeing their first encounter in battles as innocent young babes, so to speak. How we're fumbling in fear and not wanting to die, but we see others around like us, sharing same situations and dangers of enemy's fires. Having to try to access what to do, and following almost unsurely to others around, some dying before us, yet we must do our part and try not to let it be us next. The initial natural 'not wanting to kill' inner gut notion, of course, but having heard and seen the first gunfires, explosions, firefights, and seeing first few fallen comrades before us to be QUICKENed quickly in fast heartbeats, prompting by such to force us to act instinctively into falling to our natural reserves of basic trainings and conditionings to 'do a soldier duty' to not get caught up in the 'is this real' or 'surreal' thought questioning of the moment, but just act and try to stay alive and ahead of the grim reapers' reach... Call of Duty 2, from Aspyr, depicted well of a glimpse of the past soldiers point of view in war time conflicts, in battle, and whether intentional or not, gave us a sense of, at least for me anyway, that I can do what it takes to "pass that 'line'" of defending to kill first or be killed, if put in that state. But it had bothers me that I could pass that 'line', 'least in the visualism of it, if I had to, given been born in those difficult time that I may be the one called to do that of which our forefathers had to do. This game is a good visual training or teaching of what real war soldier experienced, at least just some aspects of it, and serves as a sorta 'wake up calls' for those that thinks it's adventurous and exciting and action-fun-romantic notion of being wartime heroes to kill first or be killed and such. It's not. It is what it was, and ONLY just a few small glimpses of a fraction of the real ordeals of what real, mostly young, some old, soldiers had to go through in past times in wars, and only few of them came out of it alive only to have to carry the burdens of those war scarred memories. (And for those who are curious to know what mac os x version am running this Mac version of CoD2, it's Mac OS Lion version 10.7...and 4GB of memory ram. And fortunately, so far, it works not too bad for this old GMA X3100 graphic chipset. We old macbook users are extremely lucky to get any good title games such as these workings nowadays. I played through some trainings already, and it seems to be pretty good, having played many games via my PC's mostly in past. No slow frames or such, or that wouldn't feel real, and I'd not spent the time to give my thoughts on this topic.)

I have heard a lot about Call of duty games, and I really wanted to have one for a long time. So, to start with, I bought this product (Call of Duty 2) hoping that I was buying a wonderful product. However, to my surprise, the graphics of this game is horrible, just like watching a cartoon of early 80s! I am very disappointed.... may be I should try Call of Duty 4! I do not know whether I will buy the 4 or not... :( Please do not buy this product if you love good graphics!

Tried to play it on Mac OSX 10.9.5. Very choppy, would not recommend for newest Macs

It's okay; gets boring.

I run a MacBook Pro with Lion OS. It runs flawlessly. The FPS is really easy to get lost in. After a while the stress starts to take its toll and you forget that this is just a game. If you don't skip anything the game will give some sense of just what our WWII heroes went through. Have fun gamers, there are players online licking their chops and they are very good.

Installed this game on a Mac Mini 2012. Worked good when having stock 4GB DDR. Then I installed 16GB memory and the game started to crash. Some crashes can be avoided by changing rendering settings (texture quality, resolution) and this allows the game to advance a little bit further, but then new crash happens. I don't think this is related to the quality of the new DDR RAM. Other games (Quake 4, Call of Duty 4) work fine w/o crashes.

Campaign is excellent, nothing beats mowing down those jerries! Has a decnt amount of levels, unlike later installments to COD, and level maps are not too linear you can pick your path to the objective. Veteran difficulty will keep you busy for a while, as will trying out all the fun WW2 weapons. Best Call of duty game by far, imo.
