Call of Duty 3 puts you in the frontline as various characters from various groups. As the Americans you play as Private Nichols of the US 90th Infantry Division, as the British you play as Sgt. Doyle of the British SAS, Canadians as Private. Cole of The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise's), Polish as Cpl.'Bohater' Woychek of the Polish 1st Armoured Division, and the French Resistance which help you when you play as the British Army.

GamePlay - The single player campaign focuses on the Normandy breakout campaign following the landings at Normandy, and depicts battles from the perspectives of United States and Canadian soldiers, British SAS operatives dropped behind German lines to support the Maquis, and Polish tank crews.

The player takes control of a single soldier in each respective army, who, aside from a name used to identify them when other characters are speaking, is left without personality or voice. Each individual level gives the player objectives relating to whichever army the player is currently a part of; for example, the United States and Canadian armies assault, capture, and hold facilities and towns, while the British SAS and Maquis sabotage German supply lines, and the Polish tankers battle German Panzer divisions. As the campaign progresses the player takes part in several battles that depict parts of the closing of the Falaise pocket, including battles at Mount Ormel, Chambois, and Saint-Lambert-sur-Dives.

The Player has access to various guns, from whether it would be when he would get it from a dead soldier or simply switch to another weapon. Grenades are here and are a force to be reckon with. At times enemies may throw you a grenade and you can either run away to throw it back, but if you throw it too late the grenade will explode on you and will either severly hurt your character or kill your character. An icon of a grenade will show in the center of the screen, the closer you are to it the clearer the Icon becomes and vice versa, when the icon changes to a hand with a grenade inside, that means that you can now throw it.

A new feature in the game is where you and a German will engage in a fight with only a weapon keeping each men from making the final blow. Pressing the Right and Left Triggers simultaneously will aid you and press a button at random. This are a good concept but could've used some more depth. You can also use your weapon as a melee attack to hurt any enemies that are at point blank range, usually resulting in an instant kill.

Also when the need to place a bomb arises, it won't be a simple press one button and let the character fuse it his own. You'll have to press the buttons presented in the screen and rotate the right analog stick clockwise. Then a timer will show itself telling you how much time is left for you to get out of the blast radius and how long it will take to explode. Other times the bomb will now explode till a certain objective has been met.

Your life is not seen at all until you get hit, which is basically a circle with an arrow indicating where you've been hit and what's the damage, when your life is critical the screen will turn red and you'll be prompted to take cover, fortunately it doesn't take long to recover to full health. No more than 5 seconds or so.

The AI in the game is somewhat poor in the easy and normal difficulty, mainly they pop out, fire, then take cover, repeat. However when they get the chance they may hit you with their weapon if your close enough. They tend to sometimes well hidden that you won't even know where they are, until you've been shot.

Now in the Hard and Veteran difficulty, the AI is ridiculously high, smoke grenades hardly prove effective especially on Veteran as it has little or no effect. Even the best CoD Player may have a hard time with Veteran as certain death is basically everywhere.

However it does have some minor and annoying glitches in the SinglePlayer. Sometimes you may need to crouch to avoid enemy fire, then when you need to move your character he gets stuck and may take some effort to get him out, if not then restart the last checkpoint or level, depending on how far you've gone.

Players can also drive vehicles as well and man any firearms they contain. Usually you'll be the one driving, it's fairly simple and tough, but the vehicles feel slow sometimes even though your putting the throttle to the max. Overall it's a nice and smooth experience. Tanks can also be driven, you can fire the turret or the machine gun inside, they're durable and tough but don't be too cocky, since with enough ballistics and explosions thrown at you, it won't last long.

In addition to the single-player campaign, Call of Duty 3 features a wide-range of multiplayer modes for players to participate in - each allowing up to 24 Players in a single match, three times the limit that impeded Call of Duty 2 on console platforms. All team game modes feature the soldiers of the Allied nations versus those of the Axis. The game features six game modes, five of which are team based, and one individual

Graphics - Graphics are just simply beautiful, it makes you feel as if your part of a real war, every detail is there, explosions, gunfire, smoke, you name it, it's all there and you'll just love it. Though as I said many of your companions look all the same only that the main ones, have slight variations, as one doesn't wear a helmet, has his sleeve rolled up, etc... Sound - Simply excellent, everything sounds as though as it should, yet again firearms, explosions all that have the right sound to feel for them. The Character's voices all match to their origin and army, the playable character however rarely speaks if at all, since you only see things through his eyes, you really can't tell what he's doing as he may only nod or you may have control of his head movement in cinematics.

Back to the Sound the music is what you would expect it to be, noble and heroic for winning situations, or quiet and peaceful for when a shootout hasn't begun yet, overall sound is the best part of the game.

Value - Well the SinglePlayer campaign is no more than maybe 8 hours for you to finish or less, but it has an "addicting" feel to it that may lead you to play it again. For Multi-Player it's fun and addictive though constant lagging and such ruin the experience, but if you think you could put up with those then it's worth it.

Tilt - Simply, I just love it, minor glitches and ridiculously high AI on Veteran are what bring it down a bit but overall I enjoyed the game and still play it from time to time.
