This was Call of Duty when it was at its peak performance and at the summit of its art. When sets it apart from the other games of the franchise was realistic and nuanced portrayal of each sides fighting on the battlefields of WW2 and the game wasn't shy to show how gruesome, brutal, merciless and unforgiving the conflicts really were like beneath all the glamour and propaganda made to make WW2 look glorious and heroic.
