The Xbox 360 release of Call of Duty 3 isn't perfect, but for a game that was only given a one-year development cycle, Treyarch's Call of Duty 3 could have been far worse.
As far as the PS3 incarnation is concerned, this is simply a case of a game being ported too quickly and not being given enough time to bake. Many problems present in this version do not exist in the 360 version ... read more
BAD: The story is all over the place, I'm not even really sure what my name is.

Through a seamless narrative that delivers the rush of unrelenting battle and breathtaking action, players assume the roles of four ordinary Allied soldiers; American, British, Canadian and Polish, and are thrust onto an authentic, living battlefield for an unprecedented variety of combat situations, as the campaign to liberate Paris ensues.
Gameplay
An all-new close-quarters battle mode allows players to fight hand-to-hand, improvise explosive devices, disarm traps, and execute a host of other battlefield situations that require cunning and rapid reflexes to survive. Meanwhile, the next-generation game design allows for multiple attack routes that let players decide how to confront the enemy.
Each unique mission path requires special tactics, from sniping and demolition, to all-out head-on clashes, providing for a truly organic game that is never the same twice. There's also a new multiplayer mode that allows for combined arms and team-based combat.
Gameplay is further enhanced by the incredible graphics power of the PlayStation 3. You'll experience photo-realistic graphics and fast, smooth action that makes the experience of battle all the more immersive.
Multiplayer
The multiplayer mode provides unprecedented depth and variety by allowing up to 16 players to battle it out online with the option of single or split-screen Internet play. Gamers have the choice to play as infantry or commandeer multiple-occupancy vehicles, including tanks, jeeps, and motorcycles with side-cars, leading to unique mobile combat roles for all-out, multiplayer mayhem.
Call of Duty 3 also offers soldier classes, each with class specific abilities, and a ranking system for truly diversified squad combat, and hours of multiplayer, and single player fun.

No More Quick Save
Most console games no longer have quick save, and that's a huge issue. Nothing is worse than working through several challenging battles only to die and find that you'll have to do the challenging stuff all over again. Games used to have both auto save and quick save; a wonderful system which was fair to the gamer. This is dreadful.
Imagine if you have to leave home asap, but you have to get to the next checkpoint or die before you can leave. It's fucking stupid."

“The Xbox 360 release of Call of Duty 3 isn't perfect, but for a game that was only given a one-year development cycle, Treyarch's Call of Duty 3 could have been far worse.
As far as the PS3 incarnation is concerned, this is simply a case of a game being ported too quickly and not being given enough time to bake. Many problems present in this version do not exist in the 360 version and, while none of these bugs & glitches are game-breaking, they are constant enough to become more than miniscule annoyances and major enough to become problematic.
The biggest issues plaguing the 360 release of Call of Duty 3 was some rather amateurish programming (wonky pathfinding, for instance), mediocre voiceacting, and an inconsistent framerate. Other than that, it was a solid CoD game ” read more

Stupid little things like tires and rubble have mass and you cannot step over them. Quite annoying because then you are DEAD. Ha ha... Also annoying are the missions where dozens of enemy just line up one at a time in the same exact same map spot so you can snipe one every 4 seconds. A little AI please?
GOOD: Some of the missions are pretty intense and require a bit of strategy to complete. Driving is pretty cool.” read more
