No, COD WAW has much better graphics, not to mention COD 3 has ridiculous framerate issues. It's almost unplayable after playing COD 4 and WAW.

Disagree. The graphics in COD5 look the same on every map. Look at the ground. It looks like a dustbowl. NOTHING spectacular.

The map airfield is pretty much the same colors with different shades. I might as well use a B&W tv.

Okay, but you must agree about the framerate? It's so choppy. Oh, and characters randomly spawn out of nowhere on the single player campain.

First of all, Treyarch had what? About 8 months to make COD3? I could careless about the "framerate." Overall I find that the game itself has good graphics and such. Do you own the map packs in COD3? They are MUCH better than the original maps. I don't play a video game and say "bad framerate"! I go by how fun the game is. I wouldn't mind playing some ninetendo NES with its graphics/framerate.

What do you mean the "characters respawn out of nowhere"? I find the campaign to be decent, but I prefer COD4's campaign over all COD's. I find it to be the most unique one. COD3's is 2nd best on my list... are you referring to your teammates spawning or enemy?

The framerate issues matter a lot to me in a game, and take away a lot of the enjoyment. Also screen tearing is horrible (none in COD3, just an example of another bad programming issue) I think you are confusing what I mean by framerate - I love oldschool games (my fave console ever is the Mega Drive/Genesis) and I'm pretty sure most game on the NES had a very smooth framerate. That's what I referring to - when COD3 gets really busy it jerks all over the place, even enough to cause a tiny delay on shooting, and sometimes missing your reload presses.

With the spawning, I'm talking about the campaign (I only tried online once, realised that the framerate issue was also in MP and turned off) - enemies and teammates spawn out of no where, whether it's just enemies spawning until you reach a certain point, or teammates spawning to flow with the storyline.

Anyway, who cares - like you say, they didn't have long to produce COD3 and they've done a much better job with WAW.

It almost sounds like you are talking about lag. None of these issues seem relevant when I play COD3.....

I can't TRULY see how you can compare COD3 with COD5. You may prefer one over the other, but they are 2 different type of games. I like them both, but I like certain aspects from each game.

What do you expect the spawning to be like exactly? Usually the enemies are already there before you reach the location... they don't pop out from what I know. Unless you run by them and think they just got there... COD5 is the same thing. The ememies would "randomly" spawn and pop out of the bushes and such. As for your teammates, they can't just spawn next to you. They'd always have them appear from behind you or they will be clearing out a certain area which isn't so random if you ask me.

Nah, like I say, I'm on about the single player campaign, so it's not lag. I had a section where I was going into a house and enemies were just spawing right in front of me - that's the kinda thing I mean. Also little things like a row of bombers overhead that suddenly just disappear in the sky once they are almost but not quite out of shot. Picky I know, but it kinda felt a bit dodgy.

The teammate part I was referring to was for example: I was walking well ahead of my teammates and suddenly when a new objective pops up, something like 'follow your squad to the house' or whatever, the teammates suddenly spawn in front of you, leading the way, rather than just actually walking there from behind you.

	So are you telling me that when you play COD3 on campaign, you never get any choppy framerate issues? I'm starting to think maybe my copy is broken or something! My Band CAUTIONHORSES

My CoD 3 campaign never chopped out, it ran fine so maybe it is your copy.... I don't know I never had any issues with the game at all really, in either multi or single player. But I will have to agree that the graphics do look better in the new ones...

Snakes is the best game ever !

No. I played through W@W on Veteran then immediately went through Call of Duty 3 on Veteran.

W@W is better on all levels graphics, effects, level design, character models, animation and gameplay. The jungle levels alone blow away anything in CoD3

I'm afraid he's right. It's not even an opinion thing; COD WAW is better all round. How anyone can say COD 3 has better gameplay is beyond me.

	I think that Call of Duty 3 has the best graphics we've ever seen in this series. There is just so much detail, if you really look at the soldiers, and the grass, they have so much detail...Then I think Treyarch really messed up WaW.

COD5 isn't all that great. It was something new but now it's just a "whatever" thing. I saw the "Makin Day" map and it sucks. It's just as similar as Airfield, graphically. Both airfield and makin day use one color and use different shades of that color. Staring at the ground doesn't even look as great as COD3.
