Through a seamless narrative that delivers the rush of unrelenting battle and breathtaking action, players assume the roles of four ordinary Allied soldiers; American, British, Canadian and Polish, and are thrust onto an authentic, living battlefield for an unprecedented variety of combat situations, as the campaign to liberate Paris ensues. Gameplay
An all-new close-quarters battle mode allows players to fight hand-to-hand, improvise explosive devices, disarm traps, and execute a host of other battlefield situations that require cunning and rapid reflexes to survive. Meanwhile, the next-generation game design allows for multiple attack routes that let players decide how to confront the enemy. Each unique mission path requires special tactics, from sniping and demolition, to all-out head-on clashes, providing for a truly organic game that is never the same twice. There's also a new multiplayer mode that allows for combined arms and team-based combat. Gameplay is further enhanced by the incredible graphics power of the PlayStation 3. You'll experience photo-realistic graphics and fast, smooth action that makes the experience of battle all the more immersive. Multiplayer
The multiplayer mode provides unprecedented depth and variety by allowing up to 16 players to battle it out online with the option of single or split-screen Internet play. Gamers have the choice to play as infantry or commandeer multiple-occupancy vehicles, including tanks, jeeps, and motorcycles with side-cars, leading to unique mobile combat roles for all-out, multiplayer mayhem. Call of Duty 3 also offers soldier classes, each with class specific abilities, and a ranking system for truly diversified squad combat, and hours of multiplayer, and single player fun.

so good Posted 12 March 2007
Finally, an awesome Playstation 3 game! Of course, you can probably find the same thing on other consoles, but this version is really good. The controls work great, the graphics are simply a delight to watch, and finding the best strategies to complete missions is always a lot of fun and contains a lot of replay value. If you happen to be one of the lucky people who owns a Playstation 3, this is the game you need to own to help take your mind off the fact you paid 500+ dollars for a video game console.
Better online Posted 12 March 2007
The game is ok. It is a lot more fun playing online. The graphics are good but the kills are weak. When I blow a Nazi away I want to see him die with some purpose. Resistance fall of man is what I mean when you shoot someone or something you want to see body parts or just a little more action. Like I said it's a good game but its much more fun playing online.
Of Course You Realize This Means War Posted 16 February 2007
Call of Duty 3 is a really fun game with extremely realistic battle sequences. The downfall is that you can only play in single player mode unless you want to do/are set up for online play.
In single player mode, you're a first person shooter soldier on the frontline in WWII France. You arrive in camp, learn how to maneuver around, shoot your weapon & throw grenades (smoke and explosive). Then you're immediately strewn into various battle.
You start out as private Nichols (American) in the first chapter, but depending on which chapter you're in, you might also find yourself playing as Doyle (British), Cole (Canadian) or Boharter (Polish).
You fight you way through intense battle chapters (there are 14 chapters). You're mostly shooting whichever weapon you happen to have picked up (mostly from dead soldiers on the ground) along your objective route (a barrage of automatics and rifles). Your objectives that guide you along are updated regularly as you complete each task throughout each chapter. And some of those tasks are brutal.
No matter which chapter you're in you are mostly using your primary weapon (a rifle or machine gun), but you'll also need to engage in some exhilarating hand to hand combat, you'll need to guide tanks, fire mortars, row boats, drive jeeps, attach and arm explosives to enemy weapons, disarm booby traps and man other stationary weapons.
To me, all of the chapters are equally difficult. So if you figure out how to unlock them all like we did, there's no reason to play them chronologically (perhaps at least for consistency chapters 1 & 14 should be played respectively first and last).
So all in all Call of Duty 3 is intensely fun, but like I said earlier, the biggest drawback to this awesome game is that multiplayer mode is only available with online play. I'm sure that online play is spectacular for advanced players, but my kids and I 1) are not advanced, and 2) we'd rather just play amongst ourselves for now. I'm no software expert, but if multiplayer capability works online, some genius should have figured out that multiplayer would be equally fun with friends/family at the same console. Hence, that is the only reason why I've deducted a star from the overall rating.
Just awesome!!!!!!! Posted 13 February 2007
