CoD2 XB360 is the good one.
CoD2: BRO is not. It just doesn't feel right.

I'm not too sure... Activision tends to do that (see THAW PS2 GH enhanced). I'll check at work today and post if nobody beats me to it.

Call of Duty Big Red One is 100% different from the XBox360 version. If I remember correctly, none of the levels are the same.
COD2 BRO is a good game. Yes, it is diff from the 360 ver -- considerably diff -- just look at the hardware the games run on to understand.
That being said, COD2 BRO is a great PS2 game. Unlike most COD games which feature 3 diff nationalities and their storylines, BRO focuses only on the US Big Red One regiment (forgive if I get my military terms wrong). It is more character driven than most COD games, reminding me of the story telling style found in "Brother In Arms: Road to Hill 30." The single player game is very satisfying. Many say the multiplayer is great as well, but I still prefer the MP in COD: Finest Hour (COD1 for consoles).
COD2 BRO is not a hobbled, cut down version of COD2 360, but a different game.
Like all COD games, it really captures the chaos of war in its single player mode, delivering on all the intensity that has made the series famous.
The "Enhanced" features are the same that were found in the original "Special Ed" version when the game was orig released, and includes: 1 diff skin for each team, and some extra "Making of" films not included in the basic edition.
COD2 on the 360 is a whole diff ball game, and is truely amazing, and exceeds the PS2 version by leaps and bounds, but for those who have yet to make the next gen jump (and that is a whole lot of folks), this game will be great.

In the same way that Call of Duty:Finest Hour is different than Call of Duty. It's a completely different game developed for a different platform by a different developer. They are not as good as the 360 games, but they're not bad wither.
I think this is how it worked:
Call of Duty (PC) - developed by Infinity Ward
Call of Duty:Finest Hour (PS2/XBOX/GCN) - developed by Treyarch, different game
Call of Duty 2 (PC/360) - developed by Infinity Ward
Call of Duty 2 BRO (PS2/XBOX/GCN) - developed by Treyarch, different game
Call of Duty 3 (360) - developed by Treyarch
Call of Duty 3 (PS2/XBOX) - *port* of CoD3
So the Xbox/PS2/Gamecube versions of the first two CoD games are different.
The Xbox/PS2 versions of CoD3 are *ports* of the 360 game.
I think I've got this right, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[quote name='David85']Oh I just thought thought they added a subname because they added something a little different to the second one. The first one I knew there were different versions. But why call it CoD2 at all?[/QUOTE]
Probably so they can leverage the same marketing/hype/brand recognition.
I think this is a really weird trend. Like Splinter Cell
ouble Agent and Ghost Recon:Advanced Warfighter being different games on the 360 than on the Xbox1.

Yup. In fact, the in-game menus of the Enhanced Special Edition say "Collectors Ed."
DISCLAIMER: I have not actually seen the orig Collector's Ed myself, and when the GH version hit, I begged someone to find out if in fact they were the same on both CAG and GameFAQs, but never got an answer. If u review a list of the features of the Collector's Ed and the Special Ed, there is no diff between the two.

You forgot CoD: United Offensive (PC) expansion. It was developed by Gray Matter (former Xatrix, makers of Kingpin, Redneck Rampage, and Quake II: The Reckoning), who were absorbed into Treyarch during the development of CoD:BRO.
