The single-player verson of COD3 is awesome, and well worth the time if you want to emerse yourself in a great story line and lots of action. However, the online-play is why I have gone back to playing Call of Duty 2, only 3 weeks after COD3 came out. Most of my online friends have done the same. The notion of adding 24 people to a room was neat, but completely takes away from the social aspects of COD2. COD2 is just more fund and enjoyable than COD3, and the ability to clearly communicate with other players is far above COD3.

I found getting into a game on COD3 difficult, and the pre-game regimend of selecting the type of player you want to be a nice idea but unnecessary.

Perhaps the best qualities of COD are the sound effects, which are crystal clear and awesome when cranked up on your surround sound system. The weapons are much more realistic, but are too frustrating for a video game. Remember, you are shooting a rifle with a joystick, not a real rifer up to your shoulder (an idea for the wii?). I did enjoy the fresh new maps and the focus difference between foreground and distant ground. The theme music is a plus, and is nice to listen to when you have to take that pesky phone call or the bathroom break in between games.

Final analysis - buy it for the single player and pretend it is not part of the COD franchise. Then, push the makers of COD2 to come out with more maps for COD2.
