Each mission feels like you've achieved something great. Both on the Soviet side and the American side, it doesn't feel like you're playing a game. It feels like you're actually there with your fellow soldiers (or comrades).
The American side doesn't have as much emotion or story, but it does make up for it with dynamic gameplay types. You fly in a plane and rescue drowning survivors from a sunken ship. You fight Japanese that are bonzai charging you. The best part: there are almost ZERO quick time events.
The Russian side doesn't have as much to offer when it comes to gameplay (except for 2 sniping missions that are really cool and a tank mission), but the story leading up to the epic climax is epic. It ends with you taking down the Nazi flag on the German parliament and replacing it with the soviet flag. TALK ABOUT AWESOME.
It's also the game that started the whole zombies aspect of COD, so gotta give them credit for that. Nacht der Untoten is dated, but it still feels really good to do well in that game. The shooting and knifing are really satisfying.
