Call of Duty 2: Battle of Pointe du Hoc

Was this the best mission in simulating what it was like to be an allied soldier storming Normandy on D-Day?

Yes, mainly because they did research and made the landing craft driver British, as they were.

British Campaign > Russian Campaign > American Campaign

Yes.

That's Stalingrad

MAAAAACGREEEGOOOOOOOORRRRRRR

Literally all I want from a WW2 game is something like an early Medal of Honor or Call of Duty. I'm so fucking sick of lazy devs shitting out half-assed multiplayer games and letting their community create the gaming moments for them.

Russian campaign is the best of the first mission
>These are potatoes, Comrade Commisar. Why are we using potatoes instead of real grenades?
>Because real grenades are valuable. In fact they are worth a lot more than you are.
Based Comrade Commisar

I know what you mean. I think most FPS devs have lost the skill to make decent campaigns now. I think the last one I played that was good was Wolfenstein TNO. TNC fucking sucked.

Titanfall 2?

>We stand, on a lonely windswept point on the northern shore of France.

ye this game is easily the best cod fucking GOD tier. i still remember mowing down that wave of germs with my mosin when my kommisar rang the whistle and the music fucking kicked in shit was HYPE as fucking SHIT NIGGGA!! damn, cod 2 was a good game.

Imagine approaching the shore, realizing (if you were fortunate enough to be born with a modicum of intelligence), that it was the biggest mistake you'd ever make and while you were about to die, face down in salty water, dirt, guts, and shit, your leaders were enjoying hearth, wine, and lobster.

Are you me? I replayed the Russian mission so many times I had hem memorized, same with WAW. I think because mos o their world was in flames or being destroyed, it made the situation so fucking apocalyptic. Made it seem hopeless an every victory was like, just he best feeling ever.

>t. kraut

You are now realizing that CoD2 was the first FPS that popularized non shield regenerating health and the strawberry jam red screen.

And of course the music
youtu.be/dKB_M_BBTdw

No, CoD4 was the one that popularised it. CoD2 just started it.

I can't be fucked to make a new thread - is Hell Let Loose any good?

I also really liked that one medal of honor DDay level. Frontline I think? It's been a while

Enemy at the Gates is such shit. There was no weapon shortage, there was a munitions shortage. Why the fuck would any nation bother conscripting soldiers and then give them zero chance of success? The USSR didn't win by stacking so many corpses on the lines the Germans couldn't advance.

Yeah right nigger. Are you 14?
GLORIOUS. Don't know how they get the commies right everytime.
Its ok.

I like how with the following mission Defending the Pointe it feels like it's one long mission instead of two separate ones.

I visited the landing beaches a few years back and walking around the craters that are still on top of the Point du Hoc bluffs gave me chills as an American. It really puts the war into perspective when you see the pillboxes and murder holes untouched from 75 years ago.

This isnt exactly breaking news to anyone that was sentient when it released

Any tips on someone who wants to do that? How much french do I need to know? How did you plan your trip? Did you go to Paris then bus out to Normandy? Are guided tours worth it? And how close to the actual beaches can you get? What about other significant operation overlord landmarks like the Church at St. Mere Eglise or Pegasus Bridge?

But that goes against my idea that the Soviets just launched human waves user, clearly you're wrong and a Russian troll

I already knew it must have been absolute hell storming the beaches but imagine, before you even get to land, seeing all you own men drowning/dead. Hit extra hard since, at 22, i'd have been prime conscription age.

HERE

THE KRAUTS MUST HAVE MOVED THEM SOME PLACE ELSE

But I literally just did that the other day?

We went as a family planned by my grandparents, so I didn't plan much. Zero French is needed everyone speaks Eng.

I made sure we went to Sword, Utah, Omaha, Juno. Carentan, St. Mere Eglise, Point du Hoc etc. Minimal restrictions on the beaches, you can walk to the water, turn around and have the bunkers face you, it's pretty intense.

Go to the monuments/graveyard on top of Omaha, it's a very well put together area.

We flew in to London originally and then went to Dover and took the ferry to Caen. Very roundabout since that wasnt our entire trip.

St Mere and Omaha Beach were the most intense, museum for 101st in St Mere is really great. Omaha is Omaha.

Did you see the 90+ year old veterans actually reliving their landing. Or the paratrooper actually jumping out again? That's got to be wild.

Some men also died a few hundred meters from the ship, when their boat got hit by a lucky artillery shell.
The veterans would be the ones who landed too far upbeach from the actual fighting.

>The USSR didn't win by stacking so many corpses on the lines the Germans couldn't advance.
Really? The Allies won D-Day purely by throwing so many men at the Germans that they couldn't kill them off fast enough. If the US would do it, the USSR certainly would.

That sounds neat as hell. As Ferry from Dover to Caen sounds interesting too. Crossing the channel will add the experience. I definitely want to check all of that out. Thanks.

Its true, the Soviet Union didn't exactly have alot of manpower left since most of their land that was populated had been conquered. The reason why they won was the tactics they used, and the gall to actually invest in those plans with loads of men despite low manpower.

nobody cares faggot. it made for a great scene.

EIN DAAAKUUUUUNNNNGGG

name a more kino grenade

I'd like to see more about the Kursk Salient. Picture if you will dday/stalingrad like charges but instead of humans, it's tanks. On both sides. Wave after wave of T34s.

Big balls and bold moves, from both of them.

You can't really go very far without a museum or monument in the Normandy area due to the massive level of US veteran tourism. Carentan has a monument in a town square with the names of the fallen airborne troopers. You should have no issue planning a visit

AMERICANISCHE INFANTREEEEEEEEE

All cods before mw were pretty good. Shame they don't get talked about as much.

the Holy Hand Grenade.

Even 3. I actually enjoyed them exploring the falaise gap.

Black Ops 1 was on the same level as the older ones, but its is all down hill now, MW1 was the fucking worst.

I remember so many iconic moments that happened in Call of Duty 2 campaign like the Normandy level, the Russian training tutorial and the Stalingrad battle. I played through Call of Duty WW2 campaign a year and a half ago and I can't remember anything memorable about it.

Its also the first and last time the Canadian armed forces were depicted in a video game

not enough women to be realistic.

well you never will again

>he didn't play the soviet campaign

Ha

AMERIKANER AM TELEFONMAST

The Germans had limited ammo too and they were fighting a war of attrition. Stalin was willing to kill all Russians before letting the Germans reach Moscow.

>on the same level as the older ones
>90% of the weapons weren't even around at the time
>Vietcong and Russian soldiers using FALs

They have them in FH2. Their voices and speech are funny.

I really dont get the praise for this, half the fun of CoD was the massive AI battles and the 6th gen consoles didnt have the power to properly depict them

It was the journey and companions you made and lost along the way

It was decently designed despite that and people unironically liked the characters. Also one of the few games to depict Vichy troops and the Sicily campaign.

we repelled an american airborne attack on the church in town center of st mere eglise. one was taken prisoner. we were unable to allocate a guard to watch him because of reports of american units in the outskirts of town so we disposed of him.

I heard later variants had the hatch in the rear

Absolutely, my friend. AC was boring as fuck, thermovision fucked it up and you didn't even seen a blood of enemies.

RnL had global 3d proximity voip so you could surrender or force another player to surrender.

Because the front is where the beach is. I really doubt those ships would stop bullets for long anyway. Certainly won't stop all the mortar shells being launched at you anyway.

defend Hill 400
for 5 minutes

>Because the front is where the beach is.
you saying they can't reach the beach from a rear exit?

Why didn't they just move the Iowa there and shell the beachhead to oblivion?

did anyone play CoD2 with the lt speirs realism mod, or on the 82ndAB server with WRM?
>tfw call of duty filefront no longer exists

I was expecting this to be brutal on Vet but you can cheese the shit out of it by just hiding in the bunker stairs

'Kiester' is Canadian for 'arse'.

I felt the same way when I went to Vietnam and was banging all these hookers, one of them even looked half like one of my dads war buddies. Harrowing experience god bless our troops.

there were barely any defenders once the bombing ended

WHAT

Right let's have a boat where the driver is up front
>so he gets shot first and the boat is stranded
and let's put the door at the back
>so when the front beaches the soldiers still jump into waist deep water and have to wade around the ship wearing rifle and ammo
and let's hope the soldiers don't get cut to shreds by the propellers at the back too.

And put doors on side?

You'd have to wade through water and get all your gear drenched

most bombs didn't hit the beach fortifications

Hey Braeburn, you look like you’re gonna puke...

and yet all the beach fortifications and cannons were destroyed

That was by design though.

The Germans shored up all their defenses at Calais and got screwed at Normandy.

right, that's why the allied soldiers just walked up the beaches with no resistence and noone died.

oh, wait.

The Bocage was the worst. Can you imagine surviving through the dday landings, extreme fighting through big cities like Caen and Carentan only to reach the french countryside consisting of these thick ass hedgerows and you get shot through one of them and have no clue who killed you?

as if dying in france wouldn't be shitty enough

They did for most of the landings.
The one which always gets shown in the movies and shit is the only one which had large resistance on it.

Name a more manly kino level. Go ahead.

yes, Omaha. where fortifications were intact.

The Allies won D Day because Hitler literally stayed up until 5 am every day and his entire high command was too afraid to do anything when he was asleep. Which unfortunately meant they did not just roll over the beachheads with tanks and reserves.

Basically all western Allied vs German 'victories' were because of a combination of GHC incompetence thanks to Hitler and the fact that 75% of their forces were tied up with the red menace.

How did Market Garden work out so well for them then?

Aye doors on the front and side would be the best option, you can open 3 sides and soldiers jump out in all directions rather than file out towards incoming fire. But I don't think it would make a tremendous difference, I mean casualties on D-Day were really tame compared to other battles of the war. Probably thanks to the massive bombing of defences, and the intelligence campaign to divert much of the enemy strength elsewhere.

Has there ever been a Paris level in a WWII vidya?

Went to the WW2 Museum in New Orleans last year, they have a wall set up like a bocage. You seriously could not see a rifle barrel sticking out of it until like 5 feet away.

The Saboteur is set in occupied Paris

The British didn't use the Dutch resistance for intel like the US used the French. Also Bridges.

How was that a success for the Allies in any way? Regardless, Germany lost before then so the significance of battles where the Allies failed to make good on their retardedly heavy handed advantage vs the Germans is more that the US cannot into strategy at all. The amount of casualties they took despite complete air and armor supremacy were inexcusable, just a bunch of glory hogs trying to beat the Russkies (and they couldn't even do that lol)

"Them" as in the Germans that were supposed to be severely disadvantaged.

The guy you responded to was asking how MG worked so well for the Germans, in which case the armor took too long to reach the bridges, and having several divisions right in the area near the landings.

Also, you can thank Montgomery's bitch ass for the failure of MG.

They were, they just had their defend homeland buffs. This is why the turk bugmen were able to repel the British despite having no navy/shoes to speak of.

Those defend homeland buffs sure worked out well in Aachen.

How much longer until we get a realistic cinematic VR WWII campaign game?

>RUSSIANS INVADING THE UNITED STATES
>SAVE THE MCDONALDS

No, and practically no media has ever managed to do realistic post-industrial warfare. Real battles are spread across hours, days, or even months, and people knew how to fucking stay in cover. Only Russian swarm tactics would EVER look anything like the mass carnage of constant death and high octane fire fights you see in even "realistic" war dramas.

Very long.

RAMIREZ GO SAVE THE BURGERS

How did they sleep or relieve themselves during the days or months?

French wenches, ain't you see Fury?

Because even the people on the actual battle line would walk over to one of the numeros safe spots and taking a piss, because everyone wasn't constantly standing in kill boxes with a a direct line of sight to a half dozen enemy positions at all times like you see in movies.
