Multiplayer works great now, there is almost no connection issues. From time to time you wont be able to join because the host has a bad connection, but you will never spend more than a minute trying to find a game in a any map, any mode, with any amount of players you want.

I agree, the missions are kind of stupid. But you, at least I, play that once and then just play the multiplayer (which is GREAT).

I'm addicted to this game, I love it. Its the best.

I give it a 120%, would've been 150% if the missions were better.

@Dave: You know, I still haven't put much time into COD3 multiplayer. In fact, I haven't touched it in months.

While I agree that my score probably would have been higher had I played online extensively before reviewing it – you have to remember why that was. Online was fully broken at the time of writing this. I literally couldn't get into a match. And for that, COD3 was essentially punished.

I think you pretty much summed up everything that is wrong with this game, but I still had fun.

I'm looking forward to trying out the multiplayer

Good Review, i completely agree with you on the single player bit, the confusing storyline, annoying cut scenes, etc.

BUT u really should hav held the review off until u played the multiplayer, becuz it is worth absolutely every penny u pay for this game, it is amazing, i dont recall ever getting any lag watsoever, the 2 sides (allies & axis) actually feel balanced, becuz the really talented players who actually know how to play the game really well can do amazingly well on either side

plus, the map layouts are pretty good, except for the odd time where ur whole team will be cornered, but thats really not too hard to get out of

only down side i can think of for the multiplayer is that the new players always tend to select allies, which occasionally leaves the axis team heavily outnumbered, sometimes making auto team select a must

in the end, i woulda given the game a rating of 8, only becuz the singleplayer really isnt that good

Man, I absolutely agree. If I'm honest, it was COD2 that got me right into the 360. I was really anticipating COD3 while everyone was eagerly awaiting Gears. It was a let down with far too many glitches. I felt it was only really the graphics that took a step up.

Good to know someone agrees with me ÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬" most of my friends found this game to be excellent. Then again, none of them had ever played any other COD.

Although the game really has all those annoyances you mention, I found the game to be really enjoyable… It’s more of the same but I like it.

I have to agree. The A.I. drove me crazy for most of the game, and I can't stand never-ending respawns of baddies. I found myself running to the next checkpoint, and all the bad guys disappearing as a result. I already returned my rental copy without checking out the online multiplayer, which sounds like it was a mistake / more fun than single player.
