Help! Caved in at the weekend and bought COD 3. Ran through the first level no probs at all on vet. However, i have come to a spot on level 2 where a bus blows up at the end of a stream and i need to take an area at the top of a small hill. I have used smoke, grenades, everything i can think of. even got the coverted purple heart thing too!!!!!! Can anyone restore my sanity here as i have hit a brick wall. :)
 
That took me a fair few tries...the easiest route up is a bit counter-intuitive...and probably hard to explain. In short I:

*lobbed grenades over the ridge before I got to the lorry (this sends the guys immediately round the corner running for cover)
*charged straight for the stone wall rubble straight ahead, took cover
*after shooting all you can see head to the 2nd rubble wall and then to the right, past the tank trap and behind the tree
*shoot the guys in the sentry box, move through it to the 2nd box.

Hopefully I've remembered that right, in the 30ish attempts it took me I got to the top of the hill 4 times, first twice I died daftly, third time the 360 crashed :mad:

The person who's mastered Dead or Alive 4 is stuck on Call of Duty 3! I would say 'patience' but obviously that would mean nothing as you must have inherited that from DoA4.
 
I used smoke and moved round the right and up the hill all the way keeping smoke up which gave the rest of my men a chance to move up the hill.
 
It's just occured to me that I'm exactly where you are, though I've made it up the hill a couple of times, I always made it up on the right hand side.
 
Can't assist you suarve but good luck getting past that bit :p That's where I got to on Vet and gave up and dropped down to hardened.

I'm on the last map in the game and it makes Hill400 from CoD2 look like the first level of Doom. I'll never do this game on vet :eek: What an experience it has been though!
 
Anyone else noticed the initial autoaim? If you keep 'reaiming' then you can cap nazis with unerring efficiency. I'm only on the French resistance missions, as yet, not much time to play...given the time requirement it seems like an investment though!
 
I didn't notice that CoD3 had autoaim? I knew 2 had it and by repeatedly pressing the aim down barrel+fire button I could down wave after wave of baddies easily but I hadn't noticed it in 3.

Yes, exactly the same as CoD2 as long as you are within a certain range of the dirty Nazi.
 
And there was me thinking it was only myself struggling on this part.
Bit of a bugger, tried going up the left - massacred.
Tried the right - got to the top and the 360 crashed :mad:
Up the middle and was full of more holes than a colander :eek:
rofl, tis difficult but good fun.
Must try and put Fear on as well for a play :D

I think it's more noticable than Call of Duty 2 personally.

You're going to hate me but did this bit on Veteran first time.
I headed right, slowly all the way up then flanked them. No grenades or smoke grenades. Sounds like I was maybe a bit lucky now.

On the 3rd American mission now and the only bits that had me seriously gnashing my teeth was the very first bit of the first mission. Lol, must have been rusty is my excuse, I kept getting killed after taking the church, running through the stream then into that first room. I even got the Purple Heart trying to do this.
 
Every time you go back to play your game again the dam gamma values dont save and why do we have to sit though the dam fmv sequence every time i go back to a saved game, there the only 2 annoying things really
 
game finally arrived from play-asia this morning. Finished the first mission on veteran and i'm enjoying it. I think I prefer cod2 but this is still an amazing game :)
