Yes, he's right. Very good.
Specifically, it's near the start of the very last level, and on Veteran difficulty, that Allied soldier would not last ten seconds in that position.
I highly recommend CoD2. Does everything better than CoD1, and the Medal of Honor series only caught up with it at Medal of Honor: Airborne. All the other MoH games were silly and unbelievable.
Play it on PC, with directional audio, preferably with surround sound headphones like I do. Put the volume and graphical quality on high. Very realistic.
Also, CoD3 is not as good. Also, I should tell you that the game is a first-person shooter, and that the crosshair is turned off and your weapon not in view.
