Hannibal99's Reviews: Call of Duty 3

[Bob the Insane]

I for one am a bit disappointed with CoD3... I have CoD2 on the PC and I tried it on the 360 and was impressed by the fact that is was practically identical to the PC one...

CoD3 has a couple of new features in drivable multi-crew vehicles in MP (did DoD UO not introduce this on the PC?), throwing back grenades and as above destructable cover. The battles are also bigger and the battlefield have multiple route which interact... I believe the respawning enemies if you do not move forward were in CoD2 where they not, unless you where at a "boss" section (usually a building)...

Graphically CoD3 is very good, higher resolution, better texture and some of those neat new Graphic features we will see more of as time goes by (and in DX10 I assume)...

But... No leaning and no mantling (climbing through windows)... A couple of removed features there, and the lack of leaning especially I think has force them to make Veteren in CoD3 easier than it was in CoD2...

So prettier and bigger and loader but with some of the gameplay pulled... Somehow it just seems more simplistic then CoD2...

Just my opinion, but it was made by the makers of CoD2:Big Red One (for the original XBox) and it shows a bit...

Released at the same time as GoW is really making it suffer I think...

Hoping they are saving the PC version for Vista and DX10...

Haven't played CoD3 yet but I will eventually. Hopefully it's somewhat fun.
