I am a huge fan of world war 2 first person shooters. I've been with the genre since the begining of medal of honor. since then, not too much has been more impresive to me than call of duty. It was a wonderfual game and still is. Call of Duty 2 was even better. Does this new game maintain the stellar streak the series is on? in a word, yes. Although, it is alot more of the same. But then again, why mess with a great formula? Call of Duty 3 works because it is exactly what the original game was built around, sheer intensity....and also alot of fun. But then you might say, well i've played COD2, are you saying its the same? Yes and No. The basic mechanics are the same and the few newly added gameplay elements do little to nothing for the overall game so in escense. Yea, its the same game. But this time around the levels are bigger and look o so much prettier. Honestly, these are some of the most amazing visuals on the xbox 360. I dare say it puts my beloved COD2 to near shame. The lighting and texturing is beautiful and the explosions are heart stopping to behold. The life like graphics are complimented by a brilliant musical score. Oh, and if anyone should wonder about the ingame soundeffects, just pop in a previous call of duty game and imagine it amped up even more. Seriously, the battlechatter has never been so nicely integrated. COD3 is yet another amazing world war 2 game that will certainly keep veterans of the genre happy and content, meaning on the edge of your seat. The newly implimented rag doll physics and destructable enviroments will make sure you stay there too. I reccomend this game to anyone and everyone who has played a world war two first person shooter and enjoyed it because what we have here ladies and gentelmen is the latest and greatest, the best that money can buy.
I Feel Sorry for PC Owners Who Can't Play Call of Duty 3 November 13, 2006

First of all, I am a big World War II fan. I love playing all the World War II games that are made for the PC. I decided last week I had to get a Xbox 360 just to play Call of Duty 3 and Gears of War. So I went to a local Gamestop and bought the Xbox 360 along with Call of Duty 3. Gamestop didn't have Gears of War in yet. I ended up getting Gears of War at Circuit City.
Okay so I went home and I set up the Xbox 360 on my tv set and I put in Call of Duty 3 to play and I noticed the picture wasn't that good. So I disconnected the Xbox 360 and I hooked it up to my PC flat screen monitor. Boy, let me tell you something. There was a huge difference in the quality of the picture. I couldn't believe it. And the sound was 100 times better. What is so cool is I can turn on my PC and my Xbox 360 at the same time and switch back and forth playing games from my PC and games from my Xbox 360 on the same PC flat screen monitor. This is the best investment I ever made.
Now my review just has to do with Single Player only. Call of Duty 3 looks even better than Call of Duty 2 on the PC flat screen monitor. Call of Duty 3 is a great game that should have been made for the PC too. The battles are very intense and very realistic. The AI is very good. Both Allies and German troops advance and retreat when they need to. They both use cover very well. It is so cool to fight in huge battles and have large number of troops from both sides fighting against each other. It is especially cool when you have artillery shells exploding all around you while you are right in the middle of fighting a large battle. The graphics are very good. Call of Duty 3 has some the best looking grass and best looking water I've ever seen in a game. I really like the storyline in the game. This game is based on actual battles fought in France during the summer of 1944. I can't wait for Call of Duty 4 to come out next year. I hope it is based on some more World War II campaigns.
More of the same with Major Enhancements November 24, 2006

Yes, the single player mode is pretty much more of the same Call of Duty with few additions. The graphics of the game overall are definitely amazing. The multiplayer mode is where the game really shines. You should buy this game just for multiplayer. It is a MAJOR change from COD2. It's definitely one of the deepest and most fun online games to come along in awhile.
World War Two isn't getting boring yet! December 16, 2006

First thing's first: This is for the Xbox 360 version. This game is a huge graphical leap since Call of Duty 2. The missions offer variety, from objectives to "Battle Actions," which are tasks such as planting a bom, wrestling a gun from your enemy, or driving a vehicle. The characters are very life-like, each with their own personality. The game's 14 missions are fun, and its Multiplayer just blew me away. This is a very intense game. The only downside is that CoD3 can use some more missions, and maybe a few new multiplayer maps, but it'll still be the perfect gift for any occasion-don't let its $59.99 pricepoint fool you. What are you waiting for, soldier? Go to your local game retailer and buy this game. Move, move, move!

Being an avid fan of COD 2 the conversion to COD 3 took some time. Your view/looking down the barrel feels a little different then COD 2 and can take some time getting the feel for it. In regards to some of the new additions, You either love them or hate them.
- sometimes you have to fight guys off using your gun... I didn't like.
- You have to set your explosives with button configurations... also didn't like. (also interacting with other things.)
- Multiplayer sprinting... GREAT. helps in a lot of situations.
- Sticky shot. If you have the M1 grand and aim it relatively close to where the enemy is and then pull up your sight. it lines it up for you... It can make it a little too easy.
- Trucks, tanks and motorcycles... Fun to drive, and shoot. pretty balanced.
- Multi player ranks... Awesome!!
- Multi player kits... good and bad.. Love the skills hate some of the weapon pair ups...
All and all it's a great game. It looks amazing especially in HD. Very realistic. It has a slightly different feel then COD 2 but once you get past that its a great game.
