Which Call of Duty 2 console spin-off uses the subtitle Big Red One?

The Call of Duty 2 console spin-off with the subtitle Big Red One is Call of Duty 2: Big Red One.

Released in 2005 for GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, the game was developed primarily by Treyarch and published by Activision. It is a side story to the PC and Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty 2, not the same game released on those platforms. Its campaign follows the American 1st Infantry Division during World War II.

The nickname “Big Red One” comes from the division’s shoulder patch, which displays a large red numeral one. The story moves through North Africa, Sicily, the Normandy landings at Omaha Beach, and the advance into Germany. The presentation also used period-style documentary footage and narration associated with the Military Channel.

Players sometimes confuse it with Call of Duty 2 itself because of the shared title. The distinction is important: Big Red One was the console-focused spin-off, while the main Call of Duty 2 launched on Windows and Xbox 360. Call of Duty 3 and Finest Hour were separate entries in the early console history of the series.
