Better than the Second
User Rating: 9 | Call of Duty 3 X360
Having played through Call of Duty 2, there were somethings about that i liked, and much that didn't like. The way the weapons sounded, how it was obvious where the enemy A.I. in single player was spawning and respawning from, the feel seemed a little off from what WW2 was. The multiplayer was a joke. 8 people, on a lag server, and, using a atomatic was pointless, every one just used rifles because they were all one hit kills. (That's fine, but it takes away from the diversity of gameplay.) However, in Call of Duty 3, all these problems have been fixed, and in my opinion, this game is MUCH better than it's predecessor. First off, the look of the game is much more chaotic, and more war torn. The gameplay is fluid, while not much changes from the original, it works better with the look and feel of the weapons and items and maps given to play on. The Ability to blow away most cover just add's so much more to the experience and atmosphire to the game. The completely revamped multiplayer is incredible. Playing the new game type war, using classes, and piloting several different kinds of vechiles couldn't be any more fun. Weapons are balanced gameplay wise, and the artillery strike alone adds much to the team play of the game. Not to mention i was able to play a full server of 24 players LAG FREE! Unlike COD 2 were 8 people lagged a server to no end. In short, this game is incredible, a must own. So much better than the original, and worthy of being part of the Call of Duty franchise. While maybe not the best shooter of the year.
