Call of Duty 1 

Finest Hour is a first-person shooter developed for the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube. It was released on 16 November 2004. It was the first console installment of Call of Duty, developed by Spark Unlimited and published by Activision. It was followed up by a sequel, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, in 2005. It is the first console game in the Call of Duty series.
Although it is based on the original Call of Duty franchise for the PC, it has a completely different storyline and acts as a side-story/expansion of the main game. In the spirit of previous Call of Duty games, it features six intertwined stories and battles based on real events from the perspective of soldiers on each side of the allied campaign (U.S., British, and Soviet).
The game's music was composed by Michael Giacchino who previously worked on the original Call of Duty and the Medal of Honor franchise. AC/DC singer Brian Johnson provides the voice of Sergeant Starkey, one of the British commandos.

Multiplayer

Finest Hour has no online multi-player support for the GameCube, as it does not take advantage of the broadband adapter. However, on the Xbox, Finest Hour is Xbox Live compatible and through system links, has support for up to 32 players. This game has online support for PlayStation 2 for up to 16 players per session.

Characters 

Private Aleksandr Sokolov is the first playable protagonist and one of the three playable Russian characters in the game. Lieutenant Tanya Pavelovna is a Russian sniper. She is encountered by Sokolov, who takes on the role of the second player character on the Russian front.Lieutenant (later Major) Nikolai Badanov is a Russian tank commander who encounters Sokolov and Pavelovna. With their help he secures a T34 tank. Badanov becomes the player's character for the remainder of the Russian campaign. Edward Carlyle is a British commando serving in North Africa. He is in charge of Demolitions and is the playable character for the entirety of the African campaign. Sergeant (later Lieutenant) Chuck Walker is a member of the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division and a veteran of D-Day. His squad is tasked with clearing the German resistance from Aachen and finally from the last bridge over the Rhine at Remagen. Sergeant Sam Rivers is a U.S. tank commander. Rivers is the playable character for a single mission only in which his tank backs up American forces during the German Assault on Bastogne. He is later seen again in the mission at Remagen but not as a playable character.

Commandos 1 Beyond The Call Of Duty Full Version Free Download

Commandos Beyond the Call of Duty

Beyond the Call of Duty ends up feeling like a shadow of its former self, being both shorter and more frustrating than the original.

 Just about every good game gets an expansion pack or a sequel, not just because it's profitable, but because it's easy. The good idea's already there, and the existing technology can be recycled to make a game that feels comfortably familiar but with new and exciting content. Recent expansion packs like Starcraft: Brood War, as well as sequels like Myth II and Fallout 2, all bettered their predecessors. But Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty, a standalone expansion to Behind Enemy Lines, ends up feeling like a shadow of its former self, being both shorter and more frustrating than the original.

The original Commandos was a surprise hit. It cleverly combined strategy, puzzle, and action elements with great graphics and an all-too-apt subject matter, and while there was some debate over just what kind of game it was trying to be, most found its demand for planning and precision to be both unusual and exciting.

At a glance, Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty is more of the same, with a few new bells and whistles. But the fact is, you can have too much of a good thing. The original Commandos was a great game because each member of the squad was highly specialized. A couple of them, the Green Beret and the spy, ended up doing most of the work, but that was OK, because the others like the marine and the sapper got their moments in the spotlight. In Beyond the Call of Duty, though, each character gains the ability to throw a stone or toss a pack of cigarettes as a means of distracting the unassuming enemy. Likewise, every commando can now force a captured nazi to do his bidding, so long as the hostage remains within the range of the commando's sidearm. The hostage can be used to distract his comrades, so that one of your squad can sneak past or sneak in for the kill. These new abilities are fairly interesting, but the fact that every commando has them clouds the sense that your soldiers are working as unique and complementary components of some perfectly tuned machine. The commandos' roles become less clear, and with that, some of the game's appeal slips away.

It also doesn't help that the game is even more difficult than the first. It's tempting to justify the excessive difficulty by the fact that the game contains only eight missions (the original had more than twice as many), but that would be a solution to the wrong problem. Besides, nobody complained that the original Commandos was too easy - all of its missions were difficult, though some were far more difficult than others. Nevertheless, all its missions could eventually be completed so long as you were patient, and the game didn't get too frustrating because each mission could be reduced to a series of smaller situations, and you'd rarely get stuck at any one point for too long. On the other hand, Beyond the Call of Duty starts out frustrating and just stays there. These missions don't just seem difficult, but downright unfair. In the first mission, if you don't save a sniper rifle round until the very last point, you probably won't be able to clear the minefield and escape; and there's no real way to anticipate this eventuality, so if somebody didn't warn you, you'd end up having to restart.

At other times, there are so many enemy troops patrolling an area that it doesn't seem like there's an appropriate way of resolving the situation. You'll wonder what would happen if maybe you threw the cigarettes, the stone, and used the decoy all at the same time, while a hostage distracted everybody.... But unfortunately, much like the first game, Beyond the Call of Duty's interface doesn't easily lend itself to multitasking, since the commandos are slow to respond and need to be micromanaged. You absolutely must coordinate your troops in this game, but it isn't any easier than before, no thanks to the fact that all the keyboard hotkeys were shifted around. (While the new layout is a little more logical than the original's, it's inexplicable why the designers didn't just let you customize the keyboard layout.) So the control feels more cumbersome than before, since you need especially impeccable timing and coordination, but the interface won't allow it. And even when you finally get through a mission, you won't feel very good about it since you won't be able to shake the feeling that you've figured out something the designers didn't expect you to. The original Commandos was satisfying because its puzzle-like situations had specific solutions. These missions feel clumsier by comparison, requiring at least as much luck as finesse, although the maps themselves all look distinctly beautiful.

On the other hand, maybe the problem is the awful new voice-acting. The original Commandos had a problem with repetitive speech, and that problem lingers in Beyond the Call of Duty. Only now, not only does every one of your troops say the same thing over and over, but every last one of them sounds ridiculous. At least there's good musical accompaniment during each mission, of the appropriate symphonic military variety. Meanwhile, the game's packaging gives top billing to a new female commando "seductress," whose inclusion raises numerous concerns, not the least of which is the fact that she is touted as a key feature yet doesn't even play a significant role in the game.

In spite of everything, it's inaccurate to say that Beyond the Call of Duty is far worse than the original. If anything, the two games are difficult to distinguish, so fans of the original will enjoy Beyond the Call of Duty because of its inherent similarity to its predecessor. And to be fair, there are certain subtle new twists to this game that add strategic depth, such as the spy's ability to wear several types of uniforms. But at the same time, most of the subtle changes have adverse effects and make Beyond the Call of Duty feel like more of the same in the worst kind of way.

Commandos 1 Behind Enemy Lines Full Version Free Download

Commandos 1: Behind Enemy LinesA genuinely original game of tactics, planning, and precisionThe premise of Commandos is a model for the game itself: Just as the heroes of this game prevail in dangerous military operations through unorthodox yet undeniably effective means, so too is Commandos a successful real-time strategy game because of its refusal to adhere to the genre's conventions. Pyro Studios has produced a genuinely original game of tactics, planning, and precision, one with impressive visuals and slick production values and one that will surely please fans of strategic combat, puzzle-solving, and World War II-era warfare alike.

Its isometric perspective recalls any number of real-time strategy games that came before it, but a closer inspection reveals Commandos' striking attention to detail. The prerendered 2D maps all look different, beautiful, and realistic, and accurately depict Nazi-occupied regions in Norway, North Africa, and Eastern Europe. You'll never find a scenario that looks boring; enemy barracks, tanks, electric fences, river dams, and much more all serve to make every mission dynamic and different. You even get some nice eye candy for good measure - enemy vehicles and structures go out in glorious pyrotechnics at the hands of your demolitions expert. And not only can you set the screen resolution to your liking, but you can zoom the screen in and out, set up split-screen cameras to keep tabs on isolated commandos, or set tracking cameras to follow enemy patrols.

Your six Commandos are all unique in appearance and attitude. They move smoothly whether they're walking, crawling, running, or plying any of their deadly skills, and you can learn all about them through a fast and friendly in-game tutorial that focuses on each of their individual skills. They're a charismatic bunch and will quickly grow on you, although their German enemies look rather boring by comparison. There isn't much music to speak of in Commandos, and the sound, though authentic, is sparse. And though the commandos sound great and become immediately distinguishable through their speech, they have disappointingly few speaking lines. The Germans don't have a lot to say either.

An unobtrusive and clever interface borders the screen, showing the various tools in the selected commando's knapsack, any of which can be selected with the click of a mouse. However, this interface is mostly for show; it's quicker just to hit the appropriate keyboard hotkey to select your green beret's combat knife for example - and in Commandos, every moment counts. Moving your men is as simple as clicking the desired destination or double-clicking to make the commando run. You need to micromanage everybody, and no one will move an inch without your express orders. This isn't a problem; just keep your idle men hidden at all times and you'll be OK.

To be sure, Commandos is a good strategy game not so much because of its fine look and interface, but because it makes you think. You needn't worry about real-time strategy protocol like fog of war and resources or having to restart from scratch every time you mess up (you can save whenever you like). Instead, you get a select group of specialists at your disposal, along with a concise yet informative mission briefing that clearly defines your task. You have nearly limitless reconnaissance data at your disposal; you can scroll all around the map, identify all enemy patrols, and even see each enemy's field of vision represented onscreen through a sweeping colored cone.

And so, you'll always have your work cut out for you - what you need to do is figure out exactly how to get the job done. Thus you need to develop a long-term plan, not unlike the skilled chess player facing an equally competent opponent. Essentially, you must figure out how to eliminate every enemy who stands in your way without any of the other enemies noticing. This will never prove an easy task, as the odds are always awful. But then again, the elements of stealth and surprise are always on your side. Guards cannot hear your men moving, nor can they hear their fellows die by your silent weapons. But if they see any of your men, or witness anything suspicious, they'll get riled up and you'll be in serious trouble.

To succeed, you must coordinate your troops. For instance, the marine is an adept killer, able to emerge from underwater instantly, armed and ready with knife and harpoon gun - but he needs the green beret's brawn to dispose of the bodies. And if the spy can find an enemy uniform and distract the enemy, then the driver will be able to sneak past and steal a parked tank. The combinations aren't always binary; solving certain situations in Commandos can be very complex and challenging but always logical and predictable. You cannot slow the game down or speed it up, and so you'll occasionally need to employ a little dexterity and good timing. But these action elements only amplify the game's visceral appeal and do not detract from its strategic core. You'll also run into the occasional pathing problem trying to operate a large vehicle, but aside from that, Commandos controls just fine.

Commandos contains a single linear campaign composed of 20 big missions. The linearity isn't problematic; while there exists a best way to win each scenario, you always get plenty of room to be especially creative or just a little reckless. And because they're well designed and open-ended, you'll want to play most of them more than once. Any of these missions can be attempted cooperatively with up to five other players, each responsible for at least a single troop. However, the true pleasure in this game is coordinating the entire squad single-handedly, anticipating how a situation will transpire and watching it go according to plan or successfully improvising when things don't go your way. And what a pleasure - after you navigate your team through or past some 50-odd nonchalant German guards, destroy a vital enemy installation, and hijack a means of escape, you may well find Commandos sneaking its way to the top of your list.

Delta Force 4 Full Version Free Download

Delta Force 4 - Black Hawk Down: is a deeply flawed shooter that has a moment of disappointment or frustration for every moment of fun.

Novalogic's Delta Force was originally one of the foremost tactical shooter series in computer gaming. However, if last year's Task Force Dagger is any indication, the series is in decline. The newest game in the series, Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, focuses on the UN intervention in Somalia in the 1990s, as portrayed in the popular novel and motion picture Black Hawk Down. The new Delta Force game makes some improvements to the series, but it's difficult to take seriously, especially considering some of the game's action sequences, which resemble old arcade games more than they do actual military operations.

One of Black Hawk Down's massive environments.

Black Hawk Down is loosely inspired by missions undertaken by elements of Delta Force, the US 75th Ranger Regiment, the 10th Mountain Division, and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. The game is also filled with real-world vehicles and weapons, but don't let that fool you. Black Hawk Down is mostly a straightforward, simplistic action game with some real-world trappings.

The game's first single-player mission provides a good idea of what you can expect from Black Hawk Down. It lifts ideas from the movie and throws them together in an unrealistic and clumsy fashion. The mission itself resembles a rail shooter, an arcade-style shooting game in which you're forced to move along a predetermined path while shooting any enemies in your way. For whatever reason, developers insisted on using this idea over and over. In the first mission, you take part in a rescue operation for a UN convoy that's come under attack in the countryside. You operate a .50-caliber machine gun on one of a group of humvees that blithely drive right into hordes of enemy foot soldiers and vehicles approaching from all sides instead of slowing to properly engage the enemy, stopping, or taking an alternate route. You have no control over the foolish humvee drivers, but instead simply have to blast each new target that appears.

Once you've finished this shooting-gallery segment--and most of the game seems like a glorified shooting gallery, since Somali gunmen will often stand in neat little rows --you run on foot to a small enemy camp to snipe more bad guys. Then, it's a return to more rail shooter action, as you use a minigun mounted on a Black Hawk helicopter to slaughter more unthinking enemies. All this in the span of 5 or 10 minutes.

You'll wish that Black Hawk Down's gameplay were as dramatic as its visuals sometimes are.

Anyone looking for a realistic military simulation will be very disappointed with Black Hawk Down. But if you're looking for a simple, old-fashioned shooter, you may enjoy parts of it, assuming you can put up with some major problems. The single-player mission goals often seem contrived or repetitive, and the campaign as a whole seems disjointed and amateurish. It's poorly balanced too--most missions are far too easy, but a few require endless and endlessly frustrating retries. The missions are also unoriginal. Understandably, they lift ideas from the Black Hawk Down book and film, but without doing them any justice. One mission even attempts, however poorly, to re-create the Omaha Beach landing sequence from Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, of all things.

As in previous Delta Force games, Black Hawk Down's AI is extremely poor. The supposedly "elite" Delta Force and Ranger troops shoot each other, push you into the line of fire, and repeatedly miss targets literally right in front of them. Their aim is so atrocious that they can actually walk right past an enemy in a narrow tunnel and not hit their target. The Somali fighters are just as bad. At point-blank range, these militia soldiers often turn away from you and shoot a nearby wall instead. So, it's basically up to you to play Rambo, running around and shooting all the sitting ducks. In fact, the game even keeps score for you--you can expect to kill more than 1,500 Somalis during the campaign.

Still, Black Hawk Down at least tries to immerse you in the action and actually does a half-decent job of making you feel like you're in the middle of a war zone. Amid the mass starvation and clan fighting, you'll need to make your way through poverty-stricken towns filled with innocent civilians and gun-toting thugs alike. Some agitated civilians even hurl rocks and shout at you to leave them alone. The missions at least have some superficial variety, since you'll have to complete objectives like securing weapons caches, assaulting strongholds in towns, destroying bridges, and taking part in the climactic fighting of the Battle of Mogadishu--but once you actually play through them, you'll find that the missions are either too easy or too frustrating.

As it is, the solo campaign is hard to take seriously, given all its problems. Black Hawk Down at least offers fairly extensive multiplayer options. Though there are no cooperative modes, the game does include deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, king of the hill, and other competitive modes. These don't break any new ground, but the game's unusual setting and large maps make them more interesting than they'd otherwise be. Then again, the large maps can encourage tedious sniper duels, and they also make it incredibly easy to sit at an enemy respawn point and repeatedly kill opponents off before they can react. The multiplayer maps do let you control machine gun emplacements and vehicle turrets, but you can't actually drive or pilot the vehicles yourself. Rather, you hop aboard them as they automatically make their way along predetermined paths. In fact, these vehicles may remind you of a slow-paced amusement park ride, just with automatic weapons.

However, Black Hawk Down does look much better than any previous Delta Force game. Though it's no Unreal Tournament 2003, and it has some bizarre polygon clipping problems, Black Hawk Down does have very good outdoor lighting and good environments. Somali towns look believably run down, since they're full of rusted tin roofs, shattered windows, and other signs of damage and dilapidation. Bodies of water look impressive, reflecting the sun and frothing under helicopter prop wash. At times, Black Hawk Down's presentation actually excels, especially depicting chaotic combat in huge outdoor areas. Bullets kick up sand and tear leaves off palm trees, and vehicles erupt in brilliant explosions. Black Hawk helicopters come roaring in low, throwing up a cloud of dust and causing the trees to sway, while their minigun bullets spark off metal roofs. Also, the game's vehicles and weapons look decent enough, though the game's character models and animations could have used a lot more work. The Somalis look like armed circus performers, as they die a variety of comically acrobatic deaths.

Genuinely intense action is hard to come by in Black Hawk Down, and the game suffers from too many major gameplay faults, but unlike the last Delta Force game, this one begins to move the series in the right direction. While it often fails, it at least tries to immerse you in the gameworld, and it features some attractive visuals and a few particularly dramatic scenes. Still, Black Hawk Down is a deeply flawed shooter that has a moment of disappointment or frustration for every moment of fun.
