(I'm doin this on my mom's account because she bought for Christmas)
Except for minor things like getting shot through logs, huge dirt mounds, brick walls and lack of squad support
This is by far is the best Call of Duty so far but i shouldn't say that because the 4th will propably be even better.

Make Use of Jeeps tanks and motorcycles to win in any way thinkable

Call in artillary as a scout, throw a grenade into the tanks interior, revive a fallen comrade as a medic, and sprint from the enemy


this is the game that keeps on giving

The secret to success in Veteran mode is no weapon but your squad, work together and you will win but it still is hard even with them and experience

Graphics are amazing. Online gaming with this is a must! My kids like it better than Modern Warfare II.

Pruchased this game for my son. It has lots of action and good graphics. He says it is the best game yet. I am not a full gammer but i enjoy it also.

Nothing special on this one, but it is a different scenario, so worth getting used. I wouldn't waste money on the new one.

This game was terrible! I was expecting a quality game along the lines of the Original Call of Duty, and Call of Duty 2. I own these titles for XBOX, PC, MAC, and XBOX 360. In short I am a COD fanboy. This game however was just awful. The gameplay was much different from that of the original two titles, and the achievements on XBOX 360 were heavily weighed towards the multiplayer. I wanted to like this game, but the campaign is unbearable. I also wanted to like the multiplayer to get some achievements, but it was even worse. Avoid other titles made by the developer Treyarch, you will be disappointed.

his game is Sick, for me Playing it in normal mode wasnt a tough challenge. that is why i decided to play it in Veteran mode. Since Iam a Cod Hcore Fan, and i have played COdII for Mac in Veteran mode, i decided to play it in the xbox 360 as a veteran. dude the Game was soo good and it had some really tough parts, i even spent like 2 hours on one single part in one Canadian level.


I strongly recommend this game to anyone!!!


Cod III Rocks, cant wait for COD IV!!!

PS: its not overrated, for any person who loves to have a great time Playing games, then shouldnt doubt getting COD III

i recommend this game, but the product was damaged, i couldnt play all the mission... i dont recommend to buy from this guy, but is up to you.

the game is worthy

I'm sure I'll get lots of haters for this review, but I'm a very experienced and objective reviewer of games, especially shooters, especially FPS, so in my opinion, I know what I'm talking about. I've played hundreds of `em. This one does not stack up and brings nothing innovative to the table. Button (trigger) mashing when you struggle with a Nazi for a gun a couple of times in the game is not a brilliant game innovation. It's a tiny little gimmick.

PROS:
- grenade catch and return is cool (although an exact grenade arc throwing system is not used). We've seen this happen in dozens of movies.
- some minor ragdoll physics
- no bad glitches or something that makes you consult the internet to see what the hell you are supposed to do
- fairly good score
- allows for subtitles
- some decent mass firefights
- some well-placed jeep/tank missions to break up the regular shooter monotony.

CONS:
- when I started playing, I thought I'd put in COD2. looks like many of the exact same bombed out farm houses. Just very derivative.
- graphics are only mediocre despite what anyone else says. Colorless and lifeless. If you think this thing has the greatest graphics ever, you haven't played a lot of games. It simply doesn't. This game uses the rarely known, rarely used in-house developed NGL engine. Not an engine that is used in first or maybe even 2nd tier quality games.
- character physics (movement) is a little jagged, not as fluid as in other FPS and other engines (Unreal3).
- uses the INFINITE HEALTH system of COD2, Splinter Cell DA, GoW, R6Vegas, etc. Get shot a million times, move back, no problem.
- annoying repetitious voice acting (JERRIES!!!)
- cannot bypass cut-scenes. UNFORGIVABLE!
- uses bad grenade throwing system that most next-gen games now use instead of an exact arc system.
- AI = average to dumb, some guys stand there waiting to get shot.
- game is so colorless it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys a lot of the time
- vehicle driving is not the intuitive RTrigger = forward, LTrigger = reverse of all other games; it uses some moronic RTrigger = forward and then makes you press a button to go backward. NOT INTUITIVE!
- no real upgrades or innovations from last title other than those previously mentioned
- the WWII game genre is boring, overdone, oversaturated and tired so much to the point that it is one of the only genres that is routinely ridiculed (for example, by the folks at x-Play). It is done to death to capitalize and exploit the last good war the US fought in, which was so long ago (well over half a century) it has no bearing on the current political climate and dirty oil and strategic wars that the US currently fights in, nearly anyone that fought in it is dead, and none of the gen X'rs playing this game have any connection to it at all. The movie industry is no different; churning out 1 WWII film after another (Clint Eastwood even spewed out 2 in 1 year and people laud him for it). In other words, I'm saying it's an easy and convenient softball genre.

My guess is that when EA's Medal of Honor: Airborne and more importantly, Ubi's squad-based FPS Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway (both using Unreal3) are released, this title will be left in the dust.

Give me the LAST-GEN Halo/Halo2, Doom3, Half-life2 any day of the week over this FPS. For military shooters, give me any Ubisoft title (GRAW, etc) over this. For historical shooters, I guess this is as good as it gets for now on the 360. You have to go into an alternate WWII/sci-fi genre and/or off this platform to get a good one (Resistance: Fall of Man for PS3).
