You should have “Steam.dll” and “Steam2.dll” inside your Call of Duty 2 folder.IMPORTANT: Only copy and paste! NOT MOVE.PS.I.: On any concern, some users may not have both Steam.dll and Steam2.dll, for some reason I have found that each person has either one or both files. Dont worry if you dont have both. Its not manditory if you only have the first Steam.dll.Simply put.A. If you have Steam.dll but not Steam2.dll, not worry nothing is wrong and it should still work. Vise Versa.B. If you have both Steam.dll and Steam2.dll, copying one of those files over will not work.

My Basis
So with my understanding, no one know’s why for some people or maybe even all, one of the best games of all time simply crash’s on start up. Yet it may not be my concern or wish to know why. Personally, I believe most people that have this problem don’t care why it does. They just want it fixed. And here I am, I created this guide to allow fellow Call of Duty 2 lovers to enjoy the game they payed for. Frag on my comrades. Frag on!
