Both COD and COD2 are amazing in their own areas. the first COD is extremely long and very unique and excellently detailed. Huge weapons selection, bigger than any other WW2 game ive ever seen. Even a flamethrower! The expansion itself is long, everything takes time even on easy, great game, it didnt win GOTY for nothing. COD2 is also amazing, with phenomenal textures and smoke effects. Much better hit point system and still just as fun though not quite as long. Well worth the money friends. I strongly recommend this to any fans of the WW2 series of games. I would say this is way better than MOHAA.
Great 1st time around, but replayability is poor

Title says it all. I really enjoyed this game the first run through. It's cinematic and engaging and challenging. The second time around was no fun at all because everything is the same, I mean exactly the same down to the timing of the attacks and 'surprises'. Sorry, can't recommend this.
If you liked Medal Of Honor...

...you'll like this. They are very similar, both using the Quake III Arena engine. I found both COD and the early MOH series to be exceptionally playable and enjoyable even now, years after they were released. COD brings to the player an authentic taste of the chaos and confusion of battle. The environments are excellent. I like MOH slightly more because I think it was a little more meticulous in its accuracy, but that could be a simple matter of perception. If you like WWII history and like the First Person Shooter style of gaming, you can't help but like these games.
This particular package includes the original COD game, the United Offensive expansion, and COD2 which makes it a pretty good value for the bucks.
COD2 is more advanced in terms of graphics, requiring a more powerful computer. Besides that, COD2 does not allow the user to SAVE on command, but instead uses only the checkpoint system more common to console games. The original COD allows saves and does automatic saving as well. I found that quite appealing since I will sometimes forget to save during intense battle and it's nice to find the game has had a save or two since my my last manual save. In any case, COD2 saves often enough that you're rarely set back very far if you get killed.
Another thing I like about the COD series is it's simplicity. Yes, that means it's quite linear, but I don't find that objectionable. I'm not into complexity and the learning curve that entails. If you're like me and like to jump into a game and get up to speed in a hurry, this fits the bill.
