Whilst this is too short to be worth the full asking price, it's a great game if you can get this as a bargain.
Having said that, my first impression of playing CoD3 is that it is not a CoD game. In title, yes. In gameplay and style, not one iota. That's not to say it's not fun, because it is. It's just a different kind of fun.
CoD2 made me feel like ducking my head, like every patch of earth won was a victory in itself... I didn't feel like I even came close to dying once in numero three. Granted, I'm on normal difficulty at the moment and I understand that will change on Veteran. But this is a war! Could I at least be afraid for my life in combat?
I don't want this to sound like a huge complaint about the game. Seriously, it's fun. It's graphically spectacular, intense in scope and the sound is fantastic on my 5.1 system.
But still... It just isn't a CoD game.
Feel free to flame me. Point out that this has all been said a thousand times before, please. But understand that I paid my $60 for this game, just like I'm sure you did. So I feel vindicated enough to post this.
BTW- I would have made a few comments about the online play, but I can't since I couldn't connect to one single game. Apparently, this isn't uncommon. Yeah, I can't get my NAT off strict in spite of following my modem/router manufacturers instructions, nor through any other guidance offered. But I could connect to any MP match I chose on CoD2. Strange, eh?
