Keeping things rollin', the ArmChair Empire has whipped up a quick review on Infinity Ward's hit first person shooter, Call of Duty 2. Here's a snippet on the new damage system:

There isn't too much that is new to the actual gameplay itself though. This is both a good and bad thing; good because the original was just so darn good, but bad because I for one do like to see new ideas in sequels. However, what has been changed, I found to be all fantastic improvements. First, there are no more health packs, and there is no health meter. Now, if you take too much enemy fire your screen will start to glow red around the edges. This effect becomes more intense as you take more fire until you are eventually killed. You can recover when you start to see the edges glow red by taking cover and not taking any more fire until the effect wears off. Of course, you can keep fighting and hope you don't take any more damage.
