 Call of Duty is a bunch of "Duty" January 25, 2007

I took a chance on buying this game and I was disappointed. First of all, I thought I would be getting a 1080i game, instead the game played at 720i (false advertisement on game cover). Also, the game made me a little nauseated, with all the moving visuals.
 A safe buy January 18, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
COD3 is a safe buy. It is a solid game. If you liked the previous COD's you will enjoy this. Of course that is also one of the problems. It is the same game. It was sort of neat the way they let you use the sixaxis controller to do different tasks, but that got old every time I needed to set a demolition charge. I didn't like the fact that you couldn't skip the narration movies in between loads. The game seemed a little buggy. Especially with the audio. I would get the occassional "pop" from my tv speakers. It is a still a worth buy, and if you like COD you will enjoy it.
 One of the best WW2 shooters ever January 9, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Call of duty 3 is great! Its fun, looks great and actually uses the tilt function well. Its not exactly original but its fun using the tilt function. You use it when you get ambushed, knock people out and plant bombs. The single player campaign is good fun, but the online multiplayer is where the game hits its best! There is a lot of options too choose from when online so you could be playing online for a while. But the game is held back by some stupid flaws, the biggest being the lack of an offline multiplayer. Its lazy and stupid having no offline multiplayer especially if you cant connect to any games online. Like most war games the story is pretty awful. The game has bad frame-rate as well. But besides all the flaws that i have stated, Call of duty 3 is a worthy sequel and one of the best WW2 shooters around!
Does not support 1080i January 9, 2007

I bought this game specifically for 1080i resolution. The back of the game lists all the video modes it supports and 1080i is one of the modes listed for this game. My TV does not do 720p or 1080p but it does do 1080i, so I wanted a game that supports 1080i. (These are High-Defintion TV modes, for anyone confused.) So, I opened the game, loaded it into the ps3, and could not figure out how to get it to run in 1080i. It insisted on running in 480p mode (ps2 quality resolution!) So, I went to Activision's website and found this:
"Question
My TV only supports a 1080i HD resolution and the game keeps going back to 480p. Shouldn't the game run in 1080i?
Answer
Please be advised that a limited number of Call of Duty 3 game packages contain a misprint regarding support for 1080i resolution - it should state that Call of Duty 3 supports 720p. Future game packaging has been updated to reflect support for 720p resolution."
I would say that its much more than "a limited number." Every copy of this game that I've looked at lists this mode. I think that is pretty sleazy! Plus they don't offer anything for those of us that bought the game under the assumption that what they said is true, but is in fact false. Also, this is not the first time I've been disqusted by Activision.
Buy "Resistance, Fall of Man" instead...a much, much better game.
"Call of Duty 3" is just lame and does not measure-up to the next generation gaming console standards.
