Doesn't quite get it right

Buying CoD finest hour hooked me on the series, and although it was not perfect, it was good. When i got CoD 2 Big red one, i was expecting the same. I was wrong. Even though this game scores well in some areas, it just doesn't seem to nail it correctly.

The game's quite short campaign takes you from africa to italy to france and germany. there you will fight with your squad to win the war. sounds good right?

first of all your squad must have failed every grade in school, as well as basic training, as they almost never hit anything they shoot at, even enemies 5 feet away ( enemy has this problem too). also, your squad and the nazis will engage at close range shootouts with eachother and miss completely, with yourself having to kill most of the enemies for the game to progress.
your squad can only die in scripted secuences throught the game, and it doesnt really matter, because you never get attached to them .

weapons are deatailed ok, but sound whimpy.

the gameplay is nice, and is not really repetitive with a tank mission, and a mission where you man the turrets of a bomber, and graphics look good too

overall, although it is a good game, it seems to miss some of the intense action that make other call of duty games so fun
