Unused Maps#

EffectsEd_box#

A map named "EffectsEd_box" can be played by typing "devmap" in the console commands. Upon spawning you will have no weapons but typing in "give all" in the console commands will give you four Stielhandgranate grenades and the Default Weapon.

t2616t10#

An unused multiplayer map that can be found in the iw_04.iwd file. It can only be loaded in-game if you rename the file from t2616t10.tmp to mp_t2616t10.d3dbsp. The map itself is an early version of Railyard from August 2005, and has a few differences from the final map.

Unused Weapons#

Default Weapon#

A weapon found in most Call of Duty games. It can be spawned and used by modding.

FG42#

A German LMG that was cut. HUD icon and textures from Call of Duty still remain.

Panzerfaust#

A German rocket launcher. A HUD icon and texture sheet remains, and the coding string "panzerfaust_mp" implies that it was going to be used in multiplayer.

Demo Files#

Two demos made by Infinity Ward for the missions "El Daba" and "Duhoc" dated August 11th, 2005 can be found in iw_00.iwd, though neither of these can be played due to a version mismatch.

Crusader Player Model#

By using "noclip" in the mission Crusader Charge, you can see that the Crusader Tank you are in is a low-poly and low-detailed model.

Oddities#

Missing Textures#

The multiplayer maps Stalingrad and Rostov, as well as the mission Comrade Sniper contain some missing textures that can be seen in-game.

mp_railyard (Stalingrad)

mp_harbor (Rostov)

Comrade Sniper

Version Differences#

End credits scene in Build 5689 (Microsoft Store) is 8.5 seconds shorter than the vanilla one, but the background music and credit roll have remained the same.

• Top: 1.3 Steam aka "Build pc_1.3_1_1 Thu Mar 30 2006 07:35:42PM"
• Bottom: ~v1.4 Microsoft Store aka "Build 5689 Tue Oct 29 18:09:12 2024"

Watch on YouTube

The changes mainly relate to timing and some interactions between the characters (collision correction at 1:49, enemy mortar teams are no longer under fire at 3:08, etc).

To do: What changed in these files, exactly?

Basically, the developers decided to replace the pre-release files used in the PC version with later ones from the Xbox 360 version. Files movie_victory.d3dbsp, trainyard.d3dbsp and some others have also been updated as part of the re-release on the Microsoft Store.

Regional Differences#

To do: Hi-res screenshots of the alterations in the German version.

According to the German Strafgesetzbuch §86a, the usage of unconstitutional symbols (Nazi symbolism, basically) is forbidden outside of certain contexts such as research and teaching. As a result, the swastikas and other explicit references to the Nazi regime were removed from the German version of the game.

The German version also includes an early introduction movie (cod2_attract). Compared to the final launch trailer (and the intro movie in other countries), this version has a different sequence of scenes, different music, some different camera angles, and a shorter duration by 6 seconds. The source music can be heard in the Call of Duty 2 OST promo album. Watch on YouTube
