Call of Duty 2 – Beach landing in the Battle of Pointe du Hoc
There have been a lot of beach landing missions in Call of Duty games, especially in the earlier WW2-era installments. And a lot of them are intense and memorable, capturing the chaotic feeling of invading a hostile beach alongside thousands of other soldiers.
But for many fans, the cliff-scaling action and intense combat of Pointe du Hoc’s beach assault stands above the others. It was a different kind of beach landing, with large cliff walls that needed to be scaled before any progress could be made. I’ll remember that climb for a long time.
