Call of Duty 3 Veteran is BRUTAL

[@S0ur]

Hello there. It appears an overly verbose clarification is needed. There is nothing funny about the surname Nichols. That random guy's absurd CoD3 review, saying that he didn't like the game because he thought "Nickles "was a dumb name, is what was funny. I also found it more funny that it was, because I saw that review before playing, and expected to run into some side character with the nickname "Nickles". Instead Nichols was simply the protagonist, with that obviously being his normal last name, so it caught me off guard. With how much time I spent reading that review, and how clear I was that I knew it was a normal surname, I don't understand how so many people missed all of that. "What's funny about the name Nichols???" Nothing, holy cannoli bros you're killing me

[@Duality_of_Man]

Man, this game still had an active multiplayer on XBOX One as of like, 2018? Insane how it was so long ago now thst I'm saying it. Wonder if it's still going strong today This was the first CoD game I ever played, it was about 2012 probably (I was eight and it was the only one my mum would let me play)... The nostalgia is strong, but even at the time I knew those characters were well written and some of those moments have stuck with me now at 19 years of age albeit not remembering the names. That initial wall boost in the opening mission, what seemed like main characters dying at random chaotic moments, and that goddamned forest which will always haunt me. Shit, I miss those days, and rest in peace Dix, swear I shed a tear for ya as a little man, soldier 😭

Okay I gotta tell this pretty funny story from my childhood. So I was like 7 when I played this game so 2008 I think. Absolutely loved the game and still use some of the voice lines that are shouted in this game. One of the more funny ones that my dad still reminds me of was me shouting "pappelooden" (or whatever the fuck they actually yell when Germans throw a nade) that I used to say a ton as a kid when playing soldier. Well to the story. I had just got my first phone, some old Nokia, so I could call my parents after school etc. Well I fell in love with the menu song of this game and I recorded it on my phone from the menu. I used to go to our sauna and pretend the benches of the sauna were the benches on the back of a truck and played that song, whilst pretending to be moved to the front XD Childhood was fucking awesome back then honestly. Really appreciate my parents for getting me surplus gear to play soldier in as a child. Even got a real M1 helmet from Normandy when we visited that place. Anyway, I had to tell that story since I cherish that memory and don't really get to tell it.

Wow, the story of COD 3 actually really damn good. The characters are all great. damn.

[@queuedjar4578]

Even if the execution itself is a little stilted, and quite unpolished (except maybe the Polish Tankers, heh), the characters are still pretty charmingly voice acted and written especially for such a short and overlooked game. For real though everyone's favorite COD characters are guys like Woods, Price, and then go and snub my homie Robichaud as one of the COD GOAT's lmao. Mfer is an LT. who jumps into battle alongside his guys with a fucking beret and whole ass Bren shouting "watch, out, 42!" every 5 seconds. The only annoying thing is that drama between characters feels like it happens for basically no reason and some arcs definitely weren't given enough time to simmer and be resolved in a satisfying manner, like McCullin goes from macho man squad leader to jaded shell shocked shambled mess 2 missions in when literally nothing notable or out of the ordinary happens to him. Stark contrast to something like the Brothers in Arms series were Baker gets his friends suddenly and unceremoniously taken out after long grueling missions to warrant that type of character arc swing.

[@innoclarke7435]

@@queuedjar4578 I keep wondering why everything thinks McCullin goes from normal to PTSD with nothing in-between. We never see McCullin normal. His introduction, where he gives up on giving a Rule #2, saying they're all gonna die anyway makes clear that this dude is not doing so hot mentally. Also, threatening to kill Guzzo and manically claiming, "IT'LL BE THE SANEST THING I'VE EVER DONE" is not the behaviour of a man with all his screws tightened. This is a guy who is clearly in mental freefall from the very first mission, and you see how quickly it brings him down. Is the whole arc done a little too quick? Absolutely, but it definitely never felt out of left field to me in the slightest.

[@queuedjar4578]

@@innoclarke7435 Okay that is actually fair. He is depicted as being completely unhinged even from the start. It has been a while since I actually played the game so his whole arc wasn't fresh in my mind. Then yeah the best criticism probably is that the whole arc is just a little too underdeveloped and way too rushed. Another interesting one is Cpl. Keith and Laroche/Marcel. It's kind of implied that Marcel could have been a double agent, but basically nothing implicates this other than he was hiding in a basement when first introduced, and he hardly speaks English. Keith hates Laroche because...he's French I guess. It's drama that could maybe happen between the most petty fucking people on Earth, but not something you would expect from a member of the most elite special forces in the world at the time and people who are very clearly fighting against an occupied force. Ultimately, it feels like there's basically no proper justification or even a resolution to Cpl. Keith's suspicions, especially if you don't know the history of things like the British and French relations or the fact that both Vichy and Free France existed, or maybe there could have been an offhand mention of SAS soldiers being sold out by people loyal to Vichy France to warrant Keith's concerns, or something like that. The intrigue of the whole situation just isn't fleshed out.

[@Booze_Rooster]

COD 3 on the PS2 was my first shooter and first COD game. Loved it so much as a kid with no internet at the time, so I would replay the campaign over and over. I look at 3 as sort of the “Forgotten COD” as this came out right after 2 (a must have for the brand new Xbox 360) and MW 1 (which literally blew everything out of the water). Hell, it even feels like TreyArch only remembers up to W@W when it comes to putting nostalgia for their current games. But for me personally, this was a first stepping stone into the COD franchise .

Thanks for the shoutout at the end, surprised you only had a few scenarios of enemies aimbotting you through walls considering I specifically remember one part of the clearing house objective in Night Drop and just one soldier snapped at me instantly killing me. (XBOX 360 bug maybe?) Little fun fact about the development of this game: it only has one scrapped mission compared to the several scrapped missions that every call of duty has (Especially Call Of Duty 4 and World At War). As far as I know, it was the planned 2nd mission for the polish campaign that seemingly got scrapped last minute as digging into the PS3 versions files show that there was a folder for "mace1" ("mace2" is the second mission for the polish campaign). Sadly no leftovers relating to that as the entire folder was nuked, as far as it goes there's not much to say about this games development aside from that someone discovered a debug build of COD3 for the original XBOX that had a test map and earlier cinematics which used the Last Gen models afaik, sadly hasn't been uploaded but I know the person who is holding on to it. Besides that I don't actually have much to say for campaign, there are achievements for XBOX 360 which some of them are multiplayer ranked exclusive surprisingly, which by the way COD3 multiplayer is underrated as it's basically COD:UO MP / COD:BRO MP with bigger maps, vehicles and class specific functions (sorta similar to specialists in BO3 and BO4 but not complete ass to deal with) and of course, Eder Dam. Glorious map. Enough with the wall of text about me rambling about Treyarch's 2nd (technically third) COD game, good video.

I love these, and I just can't believe how patient you are with these games. Veteran man... It is probably unironically the Darksouls of FPS games. Although probably actually harder, do to the randomness of it all. I do love em'. Looking forward to what is next in this series.

[@tw85619]

hyped to see you tackle some of the classic medal of honor games

[@lake7890]

I remember falling in love with COD Finest Hour on my Gamecube, than i got a Xbox360 with COD 3 and boy i was blown away by the storyline and graphics back than, both amazing games !

[@AzrenKaleBolles-Pohja]

This Was my 1st Call of Duty Game. I remember Getting it For the PS 2 at Walmart and playing it during Elementary School. Best Call of Duty, Better Than any of the Latter Games Story Wise.

[@AzrenKaleBolles-Pohja]

Second Best Call of Duty Was Their Finest Hour.

[@Dexteritas55]

The music is absolutely perfect at the main menu. As a child new to WW2 the music made me feel like I was listening to something from 60-70 years ago and it was a very Decorum Est song. The Men on that campaign were honored properly by the song and it feels right.

[@thejoshandcharles1]

This game was the first game I played online. This game got me into the history of WW2. This fucking game sparked more learning and fun than all of my history classes in school. Even got me to speak a little German. Danke schön COD3

[@GhosTSpartaNFtW34]

This game is so nostalgic the music is so good

[@codymudgett8634]

I have so many fond memories of CoD3. It was my first ever CoD experience, and I amso glad it was 3 I played and not 2 or Big Red One.

[@KCGMiyu]

Am I the only one who wants a remaster of this game? This is so nostalgic and the first ever FPS I played in PS2 along with Medal of Honor European Assault.

[@chazchoo99]

This wasn't only my first CoD. I'm pretty sure this was my first FPS ever. Played it to death on the original Xbox. And I recorded the menu theme to use as my ringtone on my flip phone! Good times.

[@kylelimevlogs9210]

The fact you referred the great escape is amazing

[@walnzell9328]

14:28 This game is the first popular instance of someone shouting "Yeah, boi!" Which would later be made famous by one young man in a short video that would make him an internet icon.

[@JDDraws-r34]

Great to see someone still playing those.

[@Nuka0420]

CoD 3 was my first and only CoD for about three years. It was the only game we had on our Xbox. Hearing Hux again made me relive my childhood

[@overvieweffect9034]

my very first call of duty game, which I played on the ps2. even if it's not considered by many to be a great cod game, to me this was a gamechanger (pun intended), and I became a big WW2 buff in great part because of it

[@GetTheFO]

This was the first shooter I ever played, may have been the first game I’d ever played in general actually. I distinctly remember it, was at my uncles’ house in California-first trip I’d ever been out there. He had a massive lounge room with his Xbox in it, and this was what he gave me to play. I spent an entire day playing this game. Thank you for this oddly specific memory, much appreciated hahaha

[@lucanhenrique7457]

Man, this game made my childhood with PS2 alongside with BLACK. The music, the campaign, everthing is so smooth and remembers me a lot from my even child era of playing the first Medal of Honor. Great games, great memories

[@LookHereMars]

I remember doing COD 2, 3, 4 and MW2 on veteran back in the day on the 360. If memory serves they were toted as being, at the time, some of the hardest achievements to gain. I remember COD 3, and 4 being notably tough.

[@patricks.7951]

This is random, but I remember my immersion was totally ruined as a kid on the tutorial level because the voice actor is the same guy that voiced Eric in the Tony Hawk Underground games lol. Not the guy I'd pick to be the first voice you hear in the story mode.

[@JimmyMarkou]

I still love playing CoD 3 online through PS2 emulator or my PS2 console. I have finished the campaign over 20 times and I still remember everything since the age of 8 when I first played it. Amazing game

[@RLeezyDeezy]

I remember this was the first cod multiplayer i have ever played for xbox 360 and was stunned at how good it was...

[@Verm0uth07]

There was this weird glitch in the mission Fuel Plant where you can kill the essential NPCs at the very start of the mission (Isabel, Marcel, etc), though it will always end in a "friendly fire will not be tolerated" game over scene.

[@crunchb3rry]

I slogged through Veteran and the last checkpoint bugged out permanently in my save file where all allies would not advance with me. They were just frozen in place. So I had to take out the final tanks with nobody to distract enemy fire away from me. It took like fifty tries to be lucky enough on the guns. Still one of the best Achievements I ever unlocked because of that bug. Never going to try that again, lol.

[@PrinceArnie]

Keith surely is a different breed by bossing around a sargent

[@e195087]

I'm looking forward to this video, I recently got the PS3 emulator to try it out on pc finally, and with console commands too

[@Lan-Fo]

Funny you mention the individually extruded bricks, there was an exploit on Eder Dam where you used the geometry of one of those bricks to float to the top of the map and access unintended areas
