✓ Both are tactical first-person shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and third-person shooting

The 2005 original that started the series: a lone OSS sniper in the ruins of Berlin, built around bullet drop, wind and breath control at a time when few shooters modelled any of it. The ballistics still hold up. Everything around them does not — movement is famously slippery and frame-rate dependent, the controls are unmapped and awkward, and the tutorials interrupt constantly.

Wall-running and thrust jumps make it the most mobile campaign in the series, and the four-player co-op campaign is a genuine structural change. Zombies is at its most elaborate here. The story is close to incomprehensible, the campaign is the weakest part of the package, and the PC version's supply-drop economy drew heavy criticism.

The original 2003 shooter that set the series template: squad-based World War II set pieces where scripted allies shout over each other and the war feels like it is happening around you rather than to you alone. The scripting is also its age showing — allied AI mostly exists to point at objectives, and the Volga River section on the hardest difficulty is a notorious wall.

The same round structure that has run for twenty-five years, rebuilt on Source 2 with volumetric smoke that reacts to grenades and bullets — the one genuinely new tactical variable.

The 2005 sequel that fixed the formula: regenerating health instead of medkits, smoke grenades that actually mattered, and three campaigns across the Eastern Front, North Africa and Normandy. It is a landmark and still readable today. It is also very much of its time — corridor pacing, endlessly respawning enemies until you push the trigger line, and a difficulty that turns punishing on the top setting.
