Call Of Duty 3
Each system in the past I have got there has always been a game that in a way forced me to get a gaming console. When it was Nintendo I got it for Mario Bros., for Genesis I got that because of Sonic, for Xbox I waited till I got my hands on Halo. For the Xbox 360 it took me some time to get this console because I really didn’t find any games that tickled my pickle. That is till COD3 came out. I live in Europe and games always seem to come out a few months later here then it does in the U.S. or Japan, which is kinda annoying cause I’m sure the 360 has a lot of great games but it just wasn’t all out here. When COD3 came out I was very excited. I am a big “shoot em up” fan, and loved the past COD games. Actually I’ve played every WW2 game out there as I am such a big fan of games that take place in that time frame. I do enjoy shooters that take place in this day and age, even the future. Counter Strike was maybe the biggest shooter I played for a long time.
When starting a new game I usually like to sit for a while and beat the game inside out before I go and play online. This game online was just way to amazing not to continue playing it. I’ve had the game now for over a week and I’m still on the 3rd level because of how much I have been spending playing it online. Unlike past releases of COD online gaming, I have not played on a server that has had any lag. Each match I’ve played has been lag free. What I love about this game and dislike about games like CS is that after we die for example in COD3 we re-spawn after a few seconds. It’s non-stop action. Medics can now heal their teammates and get bonus points for that, which is just a great idea. I also like that snipers and support can call in air strikes to bombard a certain area, handy to fight of tanks. In most games I usually don’t like sniping and sitting around waiting for someone to come into my scope. I like taking a machine gun and getting into the action. Though with COD3 65% of the time I am a sniper. Depends on the actual level but a few levels that I like are optimal for sniping which makes it loads of fun, plus being handy with the pistol still gives me a change to fight in the front line. Though I still do enjoy running in with that machine gun and getting into the fight.
This game on the 360 is just amazing. The graphics are remarkable. I actually don’t like playing “shoot em up” games on consoles because I feel I am much faster with the mouse and keyboard, but thus far I have had no problems and I actually prefer playing this shooter on the 360.
