United Offensive had my favourite Multiplayer. They added in new maps, new guns, jeeps, tanks and new modes like Capture the Flag which weren't in the original CoD. I still go back to it and play it over LAN with my friends once in a while. Good times.
it died because there is no more creative input in games, the community is shit the gameplay repetitive and story mode bad and too short, they keep releasing new games with none improvement or fixes for the game problems
Have to agree. Sure mwf was fun, but now its all cod makes. New location and new weapons. One of the first cods multiplayer felt like battlefield and was hella fun. the last cod i got was mwf then black ops for the zombies. Been all battlefield since for my shooters. Also jumping on counter strike source every few days too. Classics never get old.
yes the medi packs were an interesting aspect, which did add a level of intensity. my moment i will never forget been on that bridge waiting for reinforcements no health left enemy swarming from all around the compass, that end of the world music that plays in the background , it was special haha
+KOgames cos now u dont need skill to play .ifu get shot just duck recoup and carry on , boring . playing tha old school way u needed to make sure you dont get shot ..
I have played all of cods through advanced warfare and went back to the very first and man I was very interesting than any other campaign because there were three playable sides also that one part when you have a car chase was pretty fun and lastly the final mission was not all that complicated just shoot the guy and Done!!!
how long is the single player campaign mode. im on the verge of finishing halflife 2 and im not into multiplayer and im looking for a fps on xbox 360 to give me some good longplay action. any thoughts? would this fill the void? notes please :)
The graphics in this game were top notch back then. This is the game that really got me into gaming due to its straightforward online play when I was young. I would like to see a review of the United Offensive expansion as well.
One big question: Was this the first game where you died and you hear the whistling noise when you died? If this wasn't the first, where did it come from?
@s0nic777 ok, I assumed that finest hour was the first because it was released before big red one, so I assumed its the first. What's the difference between them? same cut-scenes and levels as far as I can see
I use to play the COD games back in to 2004 and back then I never realized that Call of Duty would ever be that big a franchise. But any way I had a blast playing it back in the day because I was a fan of war movies like Kelly's Heroes, The Dirty Dozen and such. The game kinda reminded of the classic war movies. I just wish they would of put Call of Dutys expansion pack United Offensive on xbox live arcade that's one of the best COD's in my opinion
So glad they ported this so that you console folks can know the thrill of COD1. I still play this on the PC along with COD2 about twice a year...good times! Great review as always Mark!
I showed my great grandad this game when it came out and he was a vet from armam bridge and when you come down in the glider they landed it right in the same spot he came down the bridge was the same and was so real he could tell me where they attacked him from ,another great review from c.g.r
World At War is my favorite CoD game and the most authentic depiction of WW2 in a video game IMO but this one started it all so I have respect for that. Haven't played this in at least 5 or 6 years but I remember having a blast with it. 2003 feels so long ago now haha.
Plz reply I downloaded the game but it is very laggy so I deleted it I'm thinking of getting mw2 hardend edition but if I use the cod classic code will it download or fix the lag please reply I really want to fix this.
I love this game... we play it at school on our laptops when our 90 year old french teacher isnt looking..... the tension in the last few minutes of a lan game is amazing.
CoD 1 is forever the best CoD, in my opinion. This was the game that shattered MoH's hold on the FPS market. It was intense. It was brutal. It was the very experience of war. Most of all, it was a shooter with a message: war is hell.
I have this game for the pc and that is one of my favorite missions in the game. My tip to you is to never miss with the panzerfausts. It may sound weird but restart the mission if you miss. One more thing, dont shoot the panzerfaust if they are parallel to you, just shoot them down with the bren.
I wish you could get this enhanced version for PC. My copy of CoD1 used to work but suddenly it has some error :( Not that my computer couldn't handle it.
The original call of duty for pc was the greatest call of duty imo. It didnt have alot of players, there was like 6 legit clans total on that game, clan battles were amazing, You knew almost every regular player on that game, games would be much more intense. My favorite COD hands down. Followed by COD modern warfare the first one.
I can't wait until I have xbox live at christmas. I will be stuck on whether to play mw2 online or buy call of duty classic :). How much does classic cost?
I liked how different this game was compared to its sequels. Being able to side-step anywhere as opposed to it being contextual like with Ghosts, having separate save points, being able to carry more than two guns, and the sudden change in atmosphere in certain missions, like the Dam, Mansion, and Ship ones. Oh, that mansion one was the most unnerving missions in any COD game. Stuck in a giant mansion, Nazi soldiers hiding inside, waiting for you. And on Veteran mode? Oh man. Freaking Veteran mode taking away your health packs.
As much as I love oryginal CoD (and expansion) - I do love good old Medal of Honor games far more. AA for pc is a masterpiece, PA is my favorite wargame ever, and MoH games for PS2 are just tons and tons of fun. I do like MoH series more than even old CoD, cause MoH knows that it's game. In MoH you will have extremly fun maps and missions and it won't try to look epic. CoD on the other hand imho was always about explosions (lots of them) and tons of bullets flying around to make you feel epic.
Call of duty 1 and Medal of Honor Allied Assault are 2 of the best war-based FPS I have ever played! Especially MOHAA is better than most of the shooters that come out now!
@ShiningI3ullet: I agree with you, I prefer this one and part 2 over the MW series. My only complaint is that it's insanely hard; in fact it's the hardest in the series to beat in Veteran with WaW a close second. You don't have to worry about fast respawning and grenade parades, but you have to worry by the fact that they're no health kits nor regeneartors and checkpoints don't activate if you're 33% health or less. In short, this game feels more suspenful than the others because of this.
Am I the only person who thinks this is better than (almost) every new CoD game? Black Ops is the best one so far, then this, CoD 4, CoD 2, CoD 5, CoD 6,CoD 3. Random information burst over.
Great review. The first 2 call of dutys are still the best ones in my opinion. Im 23, and I enjoy the new ones, I know COD 1 and 2 are nehind graphically, but everything else is perfect. Health packs FTW. Im sick of every First Person Shooter since Halo has to use the stupid regenerating health mechanics.
I got mine at a Wal Mart back in 2007 but they sell it off steam or you can try buying it on amazon or something because i havent seen a Call of Duty 1 in a store for awhile.
i remeber before i got my 360 way back when i wanted to play COD 2 so much i bought the first one for pc. I fell in some serious love with this game, and big red one.
This is the BEST Call of Duty hands down. I like them all, but this one stands out because this was the only one I had before Modern Warfare 2. Besides, isn't Sgt. Waters great?
The bane of regenerating health is that every bigger fight will go on and on when the player is just hiding behind some boxes while waiting for health to recharge... i think health regen is the culprit for infinite respawning enemies from closets, to balance the infinite regen HP
I wish they'd release Call of Duty 2 on the Playstation Network, it's the only game in the series I don't have. Downloaded this, and I have COD3, COD4, WaW, MW2, and Black Ops (and some of the PS2 spin off ones). I kind of miss the early, pre-COD 4 games in the series.
CoD 1 is awesome! To bad today's most shooters are focusing on multiplayer and graphics. I don't care about that. And health packs are awesome. It makes you more conservative about your character's health and not just running out there. Good review!
the reason you cant run is the soldier would drop his cigarette
Underrated comment
United Offensive had my favourite Multiplayer. They added in new maps, new guns, jeeps, tanks and new modes like Capture the Flag which weren't in the original CoD. I still go back to it and play it over LAN with my friends once in a while. Good times.
On veteran mode.. their are no health packs. Cue the music: DonDOnDon
man these were the days, can't believe where the series gone to now. Remembered how excited i was when i discovered sprint in cod 2
One of the best games ever made, it's a shame where the series has gone right around mw2
Honestly even though I live bo2 cod pretty much died after mw2 cud they are going all futuristic and shit
it died because there is no more creative input in games, the community is shit the gameplay repetitive and story mode bad and too short, they keep releasing new games with none improvement or fixes for the game problems
Have to agree. Sure mwf was fun, but now its all cod makes. New location and new weapons. One of the first cods multiplayer felt like battlefield and was hella fun. the last cod i got was mwf then black ops for the zombies. Been all battlefield since for my shooters. Also jumping on counter strike source every few days too. Classics never get old.
Definetely, classics is all we have left
I still remember preordering this for my pc back in 2003..... O the days.
yes the medi packs were an interesting aspect, which did add a level of intensity. my moment i will never forget been on that bridge waiting for reinforcements no health left enemy swarming from all around the compass, that end of the world music that plays in the background , it was special haha
I actually prefer the World War two games with this aspect
+KOgames cos now u dont need skill to play .ifu get shot just duck recoup and carry on , boring . playing tha old school way u needed to make sure you dont get shot ..
World War two games have always been a touchy subject so they better be as accurate as possible
well These Missions are based on real Missions .
I know that I mean with regenerating health which isn't all that accurate
I have the original for PC. Is there still different modes for your guns? Because in the original you could make a Thompson semi-automatic.
I have played all of cods through advanced warfare and went back to the very first and man I was very interesting than any other campaign because there were three playable sides also that one part when you have a car chase was pretty fun and lastly the final mission was not all that complicated just shoot the guy and Done!!!
is the first one(classic) called finest hour ? if not which one is it?
lol 5:08 that guys face lol
lmao
Call of duty 1/2 (the best), when it was simple and perfect.
Were can I get the PC version?? I have it for the 360 but i like the PC version better I played the demo
how long is the single player campaign mode. im on the verge of finishing halflife 2 and im not into multiplayer and im looking for a fps on xbox 360 to give me some good longplay action. any thoughts? would this fill the void?
notes please :)
Did they improve the graphics? It looks better than I remember
Infinity Ward use to work on the Medal of Honor Series, didn't it? Help me out
This was the best of the COD games, and I have played this hundreds of times!!!! I still play this constantly!!
did this game come out on ps1 because when i was little a game very close to this came out .if its not was it maybe medal of honor?
where did u buy this?
@siebevz this game has expansions??
The graphics in this game were top notch back then. This is the game that really got me into gaming due to its straightforward online play when I was young. I would like to see a review of the United Offensive expansion as well.
how many points is this on the xbox live game marketplace?
Does this only come in the prestige edition of MW2 or can you buy it separate? anyone?
what is the name of the soundtrack in the end??
I just suddenly remembered how AWESOME the old CoDs are.
I'm just gonna go ahead and play Call of Duty 3. It's the first game I played on the 360
Nice! i was waiting for this review for a long time :D
You mean they had color TV's in 2003?
i wonder if people still play the multiplayer
Saul Juarez They do. it's more popular than ghosts actually...
One big question: Was this the first game where you died and you hear the whistling noise when you died? If this wasn't the first, where did it come from?
@s0nic777 ok, I assumed that finest hour was the first because it was released before big red one, so I assumed its the first. What's the difference between them? same cut-scenes and levels as far as I can see

I just wish they would of put Call of Dutys expansion pack United Offensive on xbox live arcade that's one of the best COD's in my opinion
please can anyone tell me how to get this game?
I can't find it for xbox 360 at any game store or online...
Is it arcade only?
yes
were can i get this game for pc??
So glad they ported this so that you console folks can know the thrill of COD1. I still play this on the PC along with COD2 about twice a year...good times! Great review as always Mark!
Should I get this?
@berserker276 different health system? like i know some of the old CoD's were health packs
ok now i'm confused cod 1 wasn't created for xbox 360 or was it cuz i don't know if xbox 360 came out 2003
I showed my great grandad this game when it came out and he was a vet from armam bridge and when you come down in the glider they landed it right in the same spot he came down the bridge was the same and was so real he could tell me where they attacked him from ,another great review from c.g.r
The graphics are really good for that time or they just patched it up.
i have this for pc and when you shoot the gun it bounces so it really doesn't help when you aim.
Can u play 2 player campaign on medal of honor airborne?
World At War is my favorite CoD game and the most authentic depiction of WW2 in a video game IMO but this one started it all so I have respect for that. Haven't played this in at least 5 or 6 years but I remember having a blast with it. 2003 feels so long ago now haha.
Dear lord karange ,
Will you ever review anything cross platform on the PlayStation 3 ? I have seen you always use the box 360?
When I play it on my pc i noctive the pixels but on my 360 version I dont notice the square like pixels.
Plz reply I downloaded the game but it is very laggy so I deleted it I'm thinking of getting mw2 hardend edition but if I use the cod classic code will it download or fix the lag please reply I really want to fix this.
I love this game... we play it at school on our laptops when our 90 year old french teacher isnt looking..... the tension in the last few minutes of a lan game is amazing.
i got the full one but i do not no how to give the download. if i new i would give it to you but its for the computer... tell me how!!!
whats the name of that song that starts at 6;02
CoD 1 is forever the best CoD, in my opinion. This was the game that shattered MoH's hold on the FPS market. It was intense. It was brutal. It was the very experience of war. Most of all, it was a shooter with a message: war is hell.
@dingeskerz ok thanks :) do by any chance know the price cuz right now I don't have either but was planning on in the near future.
Best Call of Duty in my opinion. I downloaded it around 4 years ago and it was so much fun. It's just so simple and open. Pure fun.
I have this game for the pc and that is one of my favorite missions in the game. My tip to you is to never miss with the panzerfausts. It may sound weird but restart the mission if you miss. One more thing, dont shoot the panzerfaust if they are parallel to you, just shoot them down with the bren.
This is bringing back some memories about when everyone was arguing that "Call Of Duty" was a "Medal Of Honor" clone :D
why is this review not in hd? D:
I wish you could get this enhanced version for PC.
My copy of CoD1 used to work but suddenly it has some error :(
Not that my computer couldn't handle it.
Do you need a password or something like it to get this game online? I'm so anxious to get it!
The original call of duty for pc was the greatest call of duty imo. It didnt have alot of players, there was like 6 legit clans total on that game, clan battles were amazing, You knew almost every regular player on that game, games would be much more intense. My favorite COD hands down. Followed by COD modern warfare the first one.
I can't wait until I have xbox live at christmas. I will be stuck on whether to play mw2 online or buy call of duty classic :). How much does classic cost?
so this is finest hour right?
@CRaZyPE143 isnt there already like a thousand of those?
@bobnudd Really? So you reckon that they really did good research when they made the COD series?
cud u get tht game for ps2?
Is their a call of duty for WW1. I rarely see any WW1 videogames
I liked how different this game was compared to its sequels. Being able to side-step anywhere as opposed to it being contextual like with Ghosts, having separate save points, being able to carry more than two guns, and the sudden change in atmosphere in certain missions, like the Dam, Mansion, and Ship ones.
Oh, that mansion one was the most unnerving missions in any COD game. Stuck in a giant mansion, Nazi soldiers hiding inside, waiting for you. And on Veteran mode? Oh man. Freaking Veteran mode taking away your health packs.
is this the first call of duty game ?
but why dont they include the trophy for COD 3?
As much as I love oryginal CoD (and expansion) - I do love good old Medal of Honor games far more. AA for pc is a masterpiece, PA is my favorite wargame ever, and MoH games for PS2 are just tons and tons of fun.

can u get this on psp
Call of duty 1 and Medal of Honor Allied Assault are 2 of the best war-based FPS I have ever played! Especially MOHAA is better than most of the shooters that come out now!
it's 15 bucks on psn but i'm not sure how to convert that to microsoft points
I loved playing the old COD games online, they weren't as fast paced and serious :)
I played this game so much back in the day. The sound of MG42s still haunt me to this day
How much is this on PSN? :) I want to get it!!
I like COD classic and old school FPS games, but the solo missions were kinda a pain
I actually loved the multiplayer for the original call of duty. I think it was hands down better than the newer games.
Nice review; I never played the original CoD, but I did really love MoH: frontlines, which I'm glad is being remade for the ps3 version of MoH
I Love this Game i got it on my Xbox 360. A question: Uncut?? :D
youre right Mark cod 1 is the best cod game than other cod game like infinite warfare thank you man for reviewing my favourite game
I love the way you have mixed this review with CGR Edison Cylinder Show music. :)
5 stars
does tis game hav blood, a lot or a lil?
If your talking about the old timey song its called Light as a Feather, but if your not then I dunno.
Been playing this game since it was declared game of the year, in 2002 I believe. Seriouslly my favorite game.
@ShiningI3ullet: I agree with you, I prefer this one and part 2 over the MW series.

why is this not for Wii?
Am I the only person who thinks this is better than (almost) every new CoD game? Black Ops is the best one so far, then this, CoD 4, CoD 2, CoD 5, CoD 6,CoD 3.
Random information burst over.

everything should be on vectrex.
I got mine at a Wal Mart back in 2007 but they sell it off steam or you can try buying it on amazon or something because i havent seen a Call of Duty 1 in a store for awhile.
Been waiting for this video. awesome.
is it a trophy game
i remeber before i got my 360 way back when i wanted to play COD 2 so much i bought the first one for pc. I fell in some serious love with this game, and big red one.
OMG! how did u get MW3 so early
I didn't know they re-released this game. I loved it on the PC. Can't wait to try to get it for the 360
the game is great, i just wish there were some brightness settings cuz im stuck on the submarine level and i cant see shit.
This is the BEST Call of Duty hands down. I like them all, but this one stands out because this was the only one I had before Modern Warfare 2.
Besides, isn't Sgt. Waters great?
Thanks for the review. I'm going to buy this(PS3)
I hope they do this for COD2 one day...Love that game.
The bane of regenerating health is that every bigger fight will go on and on when the player is just hiding behind some boxes while waiting for health to recharge... i think health regen is the culprit for infinite respawning enemies from closets, to balance the infinite regen HP
it Really Was Amazing Game When i was Play it Since 2004 with my Brothers Did any one Know How To Upgrade the Graphics Like Cod3 ?
I wish they'd release Call of Duty 2 on the Playstation Network, it's the only game in the series I don't have. Downloaded this, and I have COD3, COD4, WaW, MW2, and Black Ops (and some of the PS2 spin off ones). I kind of miss the early, pre-COD 4 games in the series.
