INTRODUCTION
Situated in the historical backdrop of Normandy, France, “Call Of Duty 3” is a captivating tale inspired by Operation Cobra, a strategic maneuver during World War II under the direction of General Omar Bradley of the United States Army. This chapter of the game takes players through 14 gripping single-player missions that span 88 days leading up to the liberation of Paris. Engage with American, Canadian, British, and Polish soldiers across four allied sides, but don’t even think about playing as the French 2nd Armored Division – they’re responsible for liberating Paris. Still, somehow they’re MIA in the game!
THEATRICAL AND INTERACTIVE BATTLES
Battles in “Call Of Duty 3” are more than just simple conflicts; they’re Broadway-worthy productions! From multiple clashes and scripted events to semi-destructible surroundings, you’ll be in the middle of the action. There’s even a touch of Hollywood with cinematic interludes explaining the situation. Oldies-but-goodies like slight auto-aim and the classic “hide-to-heal” damage system are back. Toss unexploded grenades back at your opponents or yank weapons from their hands in hand-to-hand combat. The enemies are intelligent, working together and seeking cover, so no dozing off!
MAIN MULTIPLAYER MODES
Want to play with friends? “Call Of Duty 3” has covered you with several multiplayer modes. From good old-fashioned deathmatches to Capture the Flag games (with one or two flags, depending on how indecisive you feel), the fun never stops. There’s also the new War mode, where each team starts with two control points and a neutral flag. It’s like a game of Capture ALL the Flags if you can!
VARIOUS MULTIPLAYER CLASSES AND VEHICLES
Were you ever wanted to drive a Sherman Tank? Now you can! The game offers various multiplayer classes like Rifleman, Heavy Assault, and Anti-Armor. You’ll feel the power as you drive tanks, Jeeps, BMWs, and Harleys. Each lesson comes with unique abilities to make you feel invincible until someone outsmarts you.
TWO RANKING SYSTEMS
The game isn’t just about shooting and driving; it’s also about ranking! There’s a standard rank system where your abilities grow as you do well in a single game and an overall TrueSkill ranking to show off to your friends. Unlike previous game versions, your team won’t be unceremoniously kicked back to the lobby after a match. You can finally catch your breath!
MISCELLANEOUS ADDITIONS AND ABSENCES
A dash of new, a sprinkle of old, and you have “Call Of Duty 3” with all its intriguing gameplay elements. Some surprising omissions, like being unable to play as the French 2nd Armored Division, may leave you scratching your head. At least you can still enjoy tossing those lovely smoke grenades back. The game tries to keep things fresh with new features, like actions requiring successful button presses.
CONCLUSION
“Call Of Duty 3” offers gamers an exciting and entertaining experience, combining historical accuracy with engaging gameplay. From theatrical battles to various multiplayer modes, classes, and ranking systems, there’s something for every player. And who knows, maybe in the future, the French 2nd Armored Division will find its way back into the game! Until then, happy playing!
