Call of Duty 3

During the course of the game's 14 missions, players fight with the American, British, Canadian and Polish forces against the German Nazi forces. The game employs the classic "Call of Duty" gameplay style but introduces new quick-time cut-scene events, where players have to input a series of buttons to successfully carry out scripted events, such as an up-and-close tussle with a Nazi soldier. The game includes a 16-player multiplayer mode, where players can go head to head in Deathmatches, play Capture the Flag, undertake Team Battles and participate in War Modes.
