Call of Duty 3

While Treyarch has become a fan-favorite developer for Call of Duty games over the years, the series’ official third outing was the studio’s first rocky attempt at reinventing the genre. Call of Duty 3 didn’t manage to grasp its players like its two predecessors did, altogether neglecting the PC crowd since Treyarch was unfamiliar with developing games on PC at the time.

According to reports, Call of Duty 3 had a mere 8 months of production behind it leading up to its release, causing the final product to feel largely rushed and unfinished despite looking real pretty. Its story was bland compared to that of Call of Duty 2, leaving fans with a quite honestly forgettable story ridden with bugs and glitches that didn’t manage to captivate as much as they had hoped.

Whereas Call of Duty: Ghosts was considered as an insult to the series, this third entry caused but a small stir among the gaming community at the time considering Call of Duty as well as gaming in general simply weren’t as popular and beloved as they are today. However, looking back at Treyarch’s debut jab at the series, there simply wasn’t too much to love here.
