Story Mode
Call of Duty 3 takes place during the Normandy Breakout to capture the Falaise Gap, but with one campaign that switches out between the Americans, British and replacing the Russians, the Canadians and the Polish.

The game starts you off as Pvt. Nichols in the 29th Infantry Division in a training area near Saint-Lô. You learn how to shoot, aim down the target, throw gernades, and melee. Soon your squad fights and captures Saint-Lô. Soon the group is folded into the 90th Infantry Division and fights with them. As the British you start as Sgt. Doyle of the British Special Air Service who is a returning character from Call of Duty: United Offensive, who drops in a night raid in France and fights his way with the French Resistance and usually driving a jeep.

As the Canadians you start as Pte. Cole who is led by a World War I veteran, Lt. Robichauld making many assaults at the many German controlled land.

As the Polish you play as Cpl. Bohater Woychek from the Polish 1st Armoured Division who is a tank commander, sweeping through France fighting in tanks and sometimes in infantry.

There are new story mode options in Call of Duty 3 such as a mini-game when you fight a German soldier in close combat pushing each other with weapons. On the time bombs instead of just putting the bomb on something you actually take time to fuse it.



Multiplayer
The Call of Duty 3 multiplayer allows 24 players which is three times larger than the Xbox 360 Call of Duty 2 multiplayer, but three times less than the PC version. All team game modes feature the soldiers of the Allied nations, the Americans, Canadians, British Special Air Service, but with the Polish forces removed versus Nazi Germany.

The game options are Battle, Team Battle, War, Capture-the-Flag, Single Capture-the-Flag and Headquarters.

A new option in Call of Duty 3 multiplayer is that instead of choosing a weapon you are put in special classes. players select a class of soldier and a team, the chosen class defining both the player's weaponry and the unique abilities that they will hold over the other classes. There are seven classes of soldier to choose from, with different weapons (although of similar specifications) depending on which side the player fights. Every class has a sprinting action used instead of the normal binoculars used when the usual binocular button (during single player mode) is pressed.

Classes include riflemen, light and heavy assault, medic, scout, support and anti-armor. Players select a class when entering a match, but can change classes after they have been killed. Each class has a primary weapon, a pistol, and a unique ability, such as reviving team mates as a medic, calling in artillery as a scout, laying mines as light or heavy assault, giving ammunition as anti-armor or support, or firing rifle grenades as a rifleman. Players cannot change classes until they have died, but they can pick up dropped weapons to replace their starting pistol. Players cannot change their primary weapon that goes with their chosen class.
