Call of Duty 2 redefines the cinematic intensity and chaos of battle as seen through the eyes of ordinary soldiers fighting together in epic WWII conflicts. The sequel to 2003’s Call of Duty, winner of over 80 Game of the Year awards, Call of Duty 2 offers more immense, more intense, more realistic battles than ever before, thanks to the stunning visuals of the new COD2 engine.

What’s New:
This is an official update for Call of Duty 2. It will fully update any previous version of Call of Duty 2 to version 1.3. It is recommended for all users.

The Call of Duty 2 1.3 patch fixes some multiplayer game and level
issues, raises the gamestate from 16k to 128k and addresses the PunkBuster
GUID issue where players were not being assigned PunkBuster GUID’s of
exactly 32 characters.

Notes for Mod Users:
- It is recommended that any user modifications that have been installed
to the Call of Duty 2 directory be removed before installing this patch.
These modifications are not supported by Activision and may not be
compatible with some of the new features that are included.
- Call of Duty 2 does not support mods that have spaces in the mod’s
folder name. Be sure that the folder that contains your mod does not have
spaces; otherwise users will not be able to download the files. For
example, a mod in a folder called “My Mod” would be invalid, whereas
“MyMod” or “My_Mod” would work.

Multiplayer Fixes:
-Raised the gamestate from 16k to 128k
-Added loading bars to maps mp_harbor and mp_rhine
-Addressed the PB GUID issue where players were not being assigned PB
GUID’s of exactly 32 characters.

mp_rhine map changes:
-Fixed player getting on top of broken wall and seeing through second
story of bombed out building.

mp_harbor map changes:
-Reduced overall fog density
-Fixed missing water texture
-Fixed player not being able to shoot through lower portion of the first
gap in a railing found on east side of map.
-Fixed player not being able to shoot through lower portion of railing
found on east edge of map.
-Fixed a partially floating crate and a couple holes in sandbags.

Known Issues:
When hosting a PunkBuster enabled server for the first time after
installing the 1.3 patch, you may experience stability issues. To avoid
this, launch the Multiplayer application, wait 10 – 20 seconds, then quit.
Once you relaunch Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer, you will be able to host
PunkBuster servers without any issues.
