The gameplay has also been improved slightly, and it is here that Call of Duty: WWII really makes a name for itself.

It is a brutal, unflinching look at World War 2 that really hammers home just what our lads went through over in Europe, and just how hard they fought to save us from oppression. As the story unfolds, the story throws moral curveballs, forcing you to think about whether the mission is more important than saving the innocents from the grips of the German war machine. Sledgehammer Games does a fantastic job of portraying the brotherhood that these men have formed on the trip over to Europe and you genuinely get the impression that these guys care a great deal for each other. It is during the opening stages of the campaign that we are introduced to the other NPCs that will play a huge role in the story to come. WWII takes place following the Normandy attacks as you walk in the footsteps of a southern private called Ronald ‘Red’ Daniels. Although people were reluctant to be drawn into the hype, it was impossible not to. It looked as if Call of Duty was back, this time wearing a huge gold necklace and demanding your lunch money. In effect, it was do or die.Īs soon as the teaser trailers were released, people across the gaming community started to get excited.

When Battlefield 1 was released, it took us back to basics with an outstanding look at an alternative World War 1 and every gamer knew that Sledgehammer Games needed to really step up their efforts to bring a new lease of life back to the Call of Duty franchise.

To most gamers out there, Call of Duty has fallen by the wayside since they started introducing jump-packs, body armour and the ability to rip the door off a tank using nothing but your bare hands.
