As the third major installment in the supremely popular Call of Duty series, this first-person shooter brings the war into the living rooms and gaming stations. Treyarch, a studio that has developed many Call of Duty games alongside Infinity Ward, designed and developed Call of Duty 3. In 2006, Activision published the game for multiple platforms, including PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. Additionally, Call of Duty: Road to Victory is the PlayStation Portable version of the game. Let’s dive into what Call of Duty 3 has to offer and what types of cheats and codes are available.
Call of Duty 3 Premise
Call of Duty 3 is a classic first-person shooter game set in the era of World War II. This historic shooter distinguishes itself from its previous titles in the series with its open-ended gameplay, giving players multiple paths to complete the game. The players battle alongside AI-controlled teammates against enemies that utilize dynamic attack patterns, seek cover, and strategically regroup, making the game more challenging compared to simple bots.
In Call of Duty 3, players can also take control of vehicles. In fact, tanks are a mainstay of the title, and an important part of the Call of Duty franchise since. The game also allows players to carry two firearms and two sets of grenades: fragmentation grenades for creating devastation and smoke grenades for distracting the enemy. Even better, players can also now toss live grenades back at the enemy. The game included many new features, although it isn’t considered one of the better Call of Duty games.
Call of Duty 3 Characters
As a first-person shooter video game set during World War II, Call of Duty 3 primarily focuses on the soldiers’ experiences. It doesn’t have a centralized character but instead rotates between four campaigns involving soldiers from different nationalities. Each nationality is personified through different characters.

Other key characters of the game include:
