It is the third major installment in the Call of Duty video game series. It was also the only major Call of Duty installment not to be released for personal computer platforms and the only numerical sequel to date to have been a console-exclusive game alongside Call of Duty 2: Big Red One and Call of Duty: Finest Hour. Unlike most other games in the Call of Duty series, the events in Call of Duty 3 are based on a single combined campaign, with the player being switched between the five armed forces - US Army, British SAS, French Resistance, Canadian Army, and Polish Armour Division - and their respective characters for each leg of the story. In addition to the single-player campaign, Call of Duty 3 features a wide range of multiplayer modes for players to participate in - each team allowing up to 24 on the PS3 and the Xbox 360, and 16 for the PS2 and Xbox in a single match. It is the first game in the Call of Duty series to introduce two different game modes. On the Xbox 360, Call of Duty 3 divides its multiplayer aspect into Player and Ranked matches.
