Call of Duty: WWII: the Game Mechanics
The action in the game is shown from the first person’s perspective. Call of Duty WWII contains also a lot of violent scenes. Blood is seen often and so brutality of armed conflicts is put to the front. Call of Duty: WWII returns not only to World War II but also to the classic mechanics known from the old FPS games. It means that you have first aid kits that renew your health and medics can be summoned if you have been wounded. The game also includes a large arsenal of weapons from the era.

The Graphics and the Technical Issues
The visual design of the game is of the highest quality while the special effects are just like those you can expect from action movies. This has always been what the fans of the series got used to. For example, one could get totally spellbound watching the detailed character models and realistic looking weaponry. The physics of the game also deserves attention. All the buildings in the game can be completely destroyed, no matter which part of them you shoot at. The icing on the cake is the realistic sound that really allows you to feel as if you were on a battlefield.
