USE HEADPHONES ONLY with any virtual surround like Windows Sonic turned off. Best HRTF effects at 1:29, 4:19, 6:53, 8:15, 9:09, 14:11, and 16:25.

This is Call of Duty 2 with OpenAL Soft's HRTF [IRC_1037 tables] through DSOAL. While the game claims to use EAX 3.0, no actual reverb zones are defined. That's not a bad thing considering how lazy COD1's EAX implementation was, but still a missed opportunity. The 3D positional audio is truly magnificent and beyond any game you'll hear today (even Modern Warfare 2019's Dolby Atmos). When you go prone, you'll actually hear your squad's gunshots above you. It's incredibly immersive, even if the sound design is not quite as good as in the first game. Thankfully, the "sounds randomly becoming 100% volume" glitch is less present than in COD1 with DSOAL.

It's rather odd that "The Silo" is one of the few non-linear sandbox missions in the entire franchise. It's very interesting to tackle each objective as you please, though the arcade-y "push forwards to cover to make enemies stop respawning" gameplay prevents it from being as methodical as Medal of Honor: Airborne. This level is also one of the most infamous in the entire series on Veteran difficulty.
