Call of Duty 3 Reflects

There is so much that history can teach us, and there is so much battle that comes out of World War II.

Normandy, against all odds, has been breached and the beachhead held. The chances of success were thinner than the official Allied press would have had us believe. The Free French fighters’ demand that the attack go directly to liberate Paris, the Americans’ absolute insistence that only an overwhelming force move to retake the continent, and the presence of an incredible number of Germany’s elite units within striking distance of the landing points conspired to make the plan a shambling Frankenstein of political demands and military realities.

But Normandy has been taken, and the monster that General Eisenhower has built awakened. This was, after all, only a beachhead, a stepping-stone. Electricity crackles through the air as the Allied armies begin their two-month march to Paris, and the 600,000 deaths on the beaches and hills of Normandy are only a prequel to the fighting and horror to come. Call of Duty 2 might have been the first of the next-gen WWII shooters, but Call of Duty 3 is ready to prove that it’s going to be the best.
