''Call of Duty 2'' is the second entry in the ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' series, developed by Infinity Ward and released on October 25,2005 for UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows and UsefulNotes/Xbox360, the latter notable for being a launch title. It is a direct sequel to ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty1''.
Like its predecessor, the game features 3 single-player campaigns set during the WorldWarII/WarInEuropeAndAfrica. For the Red Army portion, you play as Pvt. Vasili Ivanovich Koslov of the 13th Guards Rifle Division during the Battles of Moscow and Stalingrad. The British campaign is divided into two stories. The first focuses on the exploits of Sgt. John Davis, an infantryman attached to the 7th Armored Division from El Alamein all the way to Normandy. The second, meanwhile, tells the story of Tank Commander David Welsh, the commander of a Crusader Mk. III tank during the advance into Libya in 1943. And finally, the American campaign focuses on Cpl. Bill Taylor of the [[{{Ranger}} 2nd Ranger Battalion]], during the Normandy campaign as well as the Battle of Germany.
Of special note is that this is the first ''Call of Duty'' game to introduce the RegeneratingHealth mechanic that would be a staple of later entries in the series.
