These maps support all current game types:<span><br></span>mp_harbor (Rostov, Russia)<span><br></span>An important shipping port in southern Russia, Rostov fell to the Germans in November 1941. The Soviet 37th army quickly counterattacked and punched through the overextended and winter-weary German lines to the north, forcing the 1st Panzer Army out. The Battle of Rostov resulted in the first major German withdrawal of the war.<span><br></span>Call of Duty veterans will recognize this location as an updated version of the original Harbor map. In addition to the graphical and performance updates, several new structures and flanking paths have also been added.<span><br></span>mp_rhine (Wallendar, Germany)<span><br></span>The 2nd Rangers crossed the Rhine on March 24, 1945 at Wallendar, Germany in pursuit of retreating German forces. German forces harassed the advancing Allied units while withdrawing.<span><br></span>Decimated by 5 years of war, the streets of Wallendar are covered with rubble and impact craters creating intense battle over difficult terrain with blown-out buildings providing cover. The Americans are attempting to take the German city on this map of urban combat.<span><br></span>NOTES FROM 1.01 PATCH<span><br></span>Call of Duty(R) 2 Intel(R) Dual-Core Optimization Update README<span><br></span>This update for Call of Duty 2 adds optimization, specifically to take advantage of Hyper-Threading technology in Intel processors. These optimizations will increase performance in both Single and Multiplayer modes. While significant performance gains will be seen on Single-Core processors which support Hyper-Threading, the greatest increase will be realized on Dual-Core processors.<span><br></span>HOW TO TELL IF YOU HAVE A SUPPORTED PROCESSOR:<br> 1. Hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete.<br> 2. Select Task Manager.<br> 3. Select the Performance tab.<br> 4. Select View CPU History One Graph Per CPU<br> 5. More than one graph side by side below the CPU Usage History<br> label indicates you have a Dual Core processor or a processor<br> with Hyper-Threading technology.<span><br></span>AUTODETECT: Call of Duty 2 will automatically enable these optimizations if it detects that you have a supported processor.
