Not as good as Call of Duty 2

Now with that heading, I'm not bashing COD3. COD3 is a fun game, haven''t finished the single player game but so far this is the strong point of the game. The single player is done well, lots of action and lots of stuff going on all at once. The hand to hand combat opportunities don't come along often (thankfully) which in a nice touch but gets old after the second time you do it. Since signing up for Xbox Live, I find myself enjoying the multi-player more than single player games and find myself buying games strictly for the on line play. The online play is done well for the most part, only with a couple of complaints. Some maps, in my opinion, are too big. You re-spawn on the opposite side of the map and spend most of your time getting back to the action. They tried to make up for it by being able to run until you get tired, but because of this you can only run in short spurts. I thinks doing this so many times in a game bores people and they start doing stupid stuff like team killing and other things that end up ruining the fun. This leads me to my other complaint. Up to 24 people can play at once, 12 per team and that's too many people. With so many people per side, you end up bumping into each other the whole game, or stepping on a team-mates land mine cause you are trying to get around people. This also leads to people taking the game all to casually, goofing around in the game more than capturing the flag or any other objective. Game has good points too, and is worth getting but just because more people can play at once, it isn't always a good thing. Get this game but don't forget about cod2 which is great and tons of people are still playing it on-line all day long.
