Just after one year, the Call of Duty series returns--this time depicting the Normandy Breakout (liberation of Paris). Players can take the roles of American, British, Canadian, and Polish soldiers in this campaign. Call of Duty 3 features new hand-to-hand combat where soldiers can disarm each other. The player can now choose multiple paths to accomplishing a mission, such as fighting head-on or flanking the enemy forces. New destructible environments enables players to destroy hideouts to force opponents into the open.

The multiplayer mode is now more class-based. However, the classes only affect your initial weapons as you can pick up weapons from fallen soldiers later. Classes also have certain special abilities--such as binoculars for the scouts to call an artillery strike. The multiplayer also now features vehicles such as tanks, jeeps, and motorcycles with sidecars. Your character will also gain rank through a battle that will improve your abilities.

The Xbox 360 version features 24 player online multiplayer over Xbox Live. Xbox Live also features rank games. The content and graphics should be near identical to the PS3 version.

This is the first edition of Call of Duty to be console only. No PC version is planned.
