I beat CoD 3 on a rental, and quite frankly I was glad for the game to end. It's not a bad game, but it has so many glitches that hinder the gameplay. For one, when you cursor offscreen, your character just spins rather than like in Zelda where it gives you a message saying point at screen. Also, the box that you have to freely aim without causing the character to look is tiny, zelda gives you a good portion of the middle, CoD gives you almost nothing (I guess it's for sniping, but it'd work much better if they bumped the size up to about half of Zelda's. I've had many instances of going prone on a hill, and my character shimmies to the lowest point, totally blowing my cover. For this and a few other reasons, I had to switch the difficulty down, because I was dieing for reasons other than I wasn't playing smart. I don't know if this affects the AI, cause it was some of the worst AI I've seen in a game. My teamates constantly ran in front of me while I was shooting/aiming. The germans ("jerrys") infinitely reappear until you bum rush their hold-ups (wow, genious move, Rambo everything!). The hit detection was a little off at times, germans would be protected by invisible extensions of tables and walls. Those were my biggest issues with the game, but it was still a mostly fun game, maybe about 6.5-7/10. The last stage kicked but.
If you like WWII shooters, it's more of the same. Pretty fun single player, but I enjoyed Big Red One more probably, mainly due to the control of 3 needing a bit of tweaking. I do love the pointing system though. Bum rushing houses was never so easy. Love the "trench broom" -- thompson.
