I just got Call of Duty 3 and it is completely unplayable!! The cursor is unresponsive, sometimes stops and 'drifts' across the screen. Shooting is s*** and unsatisfying, because the crosshair is too big (not to mention not there when zoomed in) and you can't tell if you've shot someone or not when long range shooting. I have Red Steel as well and it is SOOOOO much better!!!! I have no idea how it scored less than COD3 on GS!
If you have it and love it, please tell me your secrets to make this, thing, considered a game.
Um,...... i have it and play it. It works perfectly and i find it too be a good game to play. I think the Tv is about 2.5 meters away from where i sit on the couch. Oh and just move your wrist instead of your whole hand.
Wow, are you playing the same game? I have it, and yes it does have some minor issues, but not to the point of making it non-playable. Give it some time to adjust, and maybe tweak the setting a bit. Red Steel has a different feel than COD3.
i had the same problem in the begining but like the post above i just changed the settings and adjusted i guess. The game is not that great in my opinion, but the major drawback for me is the hard controls its the lack of multiplayer. I much rather have another game.
I had exactly the same trouble and ended up taking the game back. As well as the cursor having a mind of its own, it also froze my system up a couple of times and I had to turn it off by the mains. Shame too cause I thought the game would of been ok without those issues.

Yep, it disconnects for some reason and just scrolls aimlessly across the screen. Also on my version the fuses could NOT be pulled out of explosives. I sold this piece of **** and I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone. Red steel is ten times better.
alright, this is what ive noticed. i pop in COD3. i sit back and start up the game. i point the wii mote at the screen and the aiming is sluggish and faulty. i scoot my chair back about a foot or 2, works like a charm, no issues what soever. you might wanna try using the sensor bar stand that came with the system. thats what i use.

I found that I did not have any trouble with the game at all. I sat about 7-8 feet from the TV all the time and the crosshairs were responsive and didn't move at all if I didn't move my hand. The crosshair itself may be too big, but there's a dot in the center that if it is on the enemy you will shoot them. When you're zoomed in you're not supposed to have a crosshair as you're looking down the sight of the gun. If you have a scope on the gun you have the cross in the site, where it meets that's where you're aiming. The MG's have a circle sight that if your target is in the circle YOU WILL shoot him. The only complaint I have about the game is the visuals are a bit drab, but it was WW2 and everything was drab then.
Whilst I do prefer Red Steel to CoD3, the controls are by no means as bad as you described. For the most part they are extremely responsive, however they can lock up sometimes; especially on later levels (stinks of a rushed port).
I had a few problems, then I sat in a different seat, closer to the Wii, and it was fine. I think the poor response was at least partly due to sitting right at the edge of the wiimotes range in my case. :)
thats crazy. i got my wii on launch, with that i got zelda, trauma center, and red steel. i havent touched red steel since, the controls were miserable. So i decided to steer clear of FPS's till Metroid Prime 3 comes out. But then i played my friends copy of COD3 the difference was night and day i think its perfect. I can not understand how anyone would prefer RS's control style to COD3's.
The only thing I notice about CoD3 I am unpleased with is how dark it is....Arthas045
This is due to it being built for PS2 hardware although there is still little care taken for realistic lighting, not even a muzzle flash that helps light up a dark room when shooting. MOH: Vangaurd has much better lighting though.

I find it to be quite playable actually. The cursor responds just fine. And just FYI for everyone, if you pull the fuse slowly (not jerk the nunchuk back really, really fast) it will work perfectly. Took me a while to find out. :)

I have it. Played it. Beat it. In Call of Duty 3 everything works fine. It's a lot better than Red Steel which gets extremely repetitive. Call of Duty takes some getting used to but Red Steel is not better than it by a long shot.
The drifting of the cursor occurs when the game has framerate problems, I blame the bad porting job. When the game doesn't lag the aiming can be really good, just adjust the speed high enough. I like how the dynamic aiming works, you can turn fast enough and be pretty damn precise too.

Just started trying to playing COD3 today, and today it's almost PERFECT! I don't know what I'm doing differently, but it works! And it is actually a really fun game.
