Cool! They made a version of COD for 8-year-olds! Now can we have the real sequel please?

Where to start with this abortion of a sequel? Every single aspect of the original's gameplay has been destroyed (and of course this review refers entirely to multiplayer - single player COD is like a sandwich with no bread), with such stunningly retarded features as:

1. Red crosshairs when you mouse over an enemy - Skill no longer required.

2. Push a button to steady your sniper scope - Skill no longer required.

3. No nade cooking - Strategic nade throws are now a thing of the past.

4. No satchel charges - Need to clear out a whole area? Just throw that satchel charge in! Oh no.... Wait a sec... They removed it. :\

5. No rank system - A great way to achieve perks and bonuses (such as artillery calls and online kudos)............................... Gone.

6. Nade indicator - Don't worry if you didn't hear that nade land nearby! There's a big immersion-shattering indicator right in your face to tell you exactly where it is! Don't you feel smart? Der-hyuk!

7. No sprint - The feature that turned COD from a decent FPS into one of the top 3 FPS's ever is now gone. Yep that's right folks! You get to feel like you're swimming through syrup again! Feel like making a quick sprint for that bunker over there? Too bad! You can just take a casual stroll over there instead... Good luck!

The only good thing about Call of Duty 2 is that you're not obliged to play it - The outstanding FPS tour-de-force United Offensive is still alive and kicking.

Infinity Ward clearly decided to sell out and focus this sequel towards the lowest possible common denominator, and in that respect, they've succeeded with flying colors.

Call of Duty 2 is an awesome introductory FPS for young children.
