With so many installments into the storied Call of Duty franchise, it's easy to overlook older games, perhaps most especially Call of Duty 3. Despite this, it remains one of my personal favorites. The story was very good and took on a major battle of the Second World War that isn't always explored. The diversity in the campaign was the real strength: you play as an American infantryman and also a Canadian one, but also an SAS operative working with the French and a Polish tanker. The story isn't perfect and with four different storylines isn't properly fleshed out, but it's full of memorable characters and so many different things to do while giving you a great historical insight into the Battle of St. Lô. The weakest part of the game is the gameplay - this usually warrants a larger punishment but it's not bad gameplay at all, just clunky and doesn't age well.
