Synopsis(WIKI)
Call of Duty 2: Big Red One is a World War II video game for the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox and acts as a spin-off of Call of Duty 2. It was released on November 1, 2005, in North America. While developed by Treyarch, personnel from Gray Matter Interactive, who created the Call of Duty: United Offensive expansion pack for the PC, also worked with them on the game. Pi Studios contributed as well.
Big Red One differs from other games in the Call of Duty franchise in that it focuses on a single Allied formation in the War: the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division, which goes by the nickname Big Red One due to their unit patch which features a large red numeral one. The game covers the division's part in the invasion and liberation of North Africa, the invasion into Sicily, the landing on Omaha Beach in Europe and moving east, eventually crossing the Siegfried Line into Germany. At the end of each chapter and the beginning of the first, period footage with voiceover (courtesy of Mark Hamill, who was also in the Sam Fuller film, The Big Red One) is seen from the Military Channel, imitating a WWII documentary.

Gameplay
The Gameplay in COD Big Red One was one of the best gaming experiences I've had in my life. Besides the addictive aspect of the game, there were tons of various gameplay styles, and different ways to play the game. There was abundance, creativity, non-stop action and well made mechanics. One little downfall is the lack of controls, as it fails to explain a bit of that. Besides that, there are various things to do and play. Campaign features amazing graphics with a detailed storyline. Online features fun, addictiveness to it. The gameplay structure was amazing in the sense that a game could deliver great shooting techniques and an abundance of variety, from flying airplanes, to controlling tanks, to taking down enemy aircrafts using Flaks, and stealthily infiltrating an enemy base. It was simply amazing.
