Call of Duty 2 must have been a tough act to follow. For most people, it was the unlikely star of the 360 launch line-up, filling the gap left by the disappointing Perfect Dark Zero and introducing a new wave of console gamers to the sort of next-generation visual effects and rich, immersive FPS gameplay that previously only PC owners had experienced. What’s more, it was a game that even those who professed themselves bored silly of World War II games had to admire, pulling out all the stops as it did to deliver an experience of practically operatic intensity. Nor has it lost its appeal since, thanks to an engaging multiplayer offering. CoD2 became a Live staple at launch, and hasn’t left the top ranks ever since.
