Big Red One was the most abysmal experience I had with Call of Duty, and I am not even exaggerating.
Big Red One was the first CoD game by Treyarch, who is known by now as one of the biggest developers for this franchise. Their first game is focusing on a "personal" story, which tries to showcase how horrible was the second world war through the perspective of a division (1st infantry to be more precise).
What makes Big Red One horrible to play are the awful graphics, the very unresponsive gunplay, the clichés etc etc. Everything is pretty much mediocre at best, which makes it even worse as the game goes on.
The main campaign is divided into 3 chapters or locations, which are not that different when you play through the chapters. The soldiers use different weapons in different regions, but the locations are overall pretty dull and the developers do not use unique architecture or something, to make them stick out more from the rest.
What I hated the most is the boring mission designs as some always start with the "XY GOT HIT, USE THE MG AND DEFEND US". They always bring out these lazy turret sections for fake suspense, when some of the objectives are just there to pad out the length of the game.
At least some of the weapons in the first chapter are unique and less used in WW2 shooters.
I abandoned this one because it clearly became a chore for me, and I literally had no motivation to play with it. I tried for a very long time, but I just cannot finish it.
