call of duty: finest hour, tbh i mainly like it because it was the first fps i played
objectively bad but one nice thing about it is the soviet campaign, in particular there’s a level where you get to play as a lady sniper in the red army
I played the shit outta Finest Hour as a kid. It's really amazing how many anti Soviet tropes they pack into the first minute of the game
It's just Enemy at the Gates! The sniper level was really cool though. The soundtrack for the first level too, with the soviet choir leitmotif...
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
That’s actually really cool, modern COD would never
does call of duty 2 count as a bad game or? 'cause that is I think my second favorite of the WW2 CoD games aside from WaW. Though, to be fair, there wasn't much to compare to after WaW than.. WW2 (The CoD game) and Vanguard.. at least on the campaign side.
never played it so i can't say. finest hour was specifically because it feels like instead of designing a game for consoles/controller, they made a pc game and cut it down until you got something "playable" on 6th gen consoles. so what you get is something that's pretty barebones yet "challenging" largely because movement and aiming is clunky, even compared to other console fps games. like i said, i never played cod2, but i do remember playing the demo on xbox 360, and i don't recall it having the same problems.
CoD Soviet campaigns are extremely hit-or-miss. I don't particularly like pure shooters anyway, the closest thing to that I willingly play is the Fallout games. But I'd definitely recommend picking up something more explicitly Soviet focused if you want a Great Patriotic War shooter. Or a Wolfenstein game, if all you're really after is shooting a bunch of Nazis.
