The third Call of Duty game focuses on Operation Cobra in Normandy, France, during WWII, led by General Omar Bradley. You play as four allied factions: American, Canadian, British, and Polish soldiers in 14 missions leading to the liberation of Paris. Notably, the game lacks the French 2nd Armored Division.

The battles are intense, featuring infantry, vehicles, and semi-destructible environments, with scripted events. Gameplay mechanics include auto-aim, damage recovery, and smoke grenades. New additions involve tossing back grenades and complex button combos, especially in hand-to-hand combat. Enemies employ group tactics and seek cover.

Multiplayer modes include deathmatch, team deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Headquarters, and the new War mode, resembling Battlefield gameplay. Multiple vehicles (Sherman Tank, Panzer IV, Jeep, etc.) and various multiplayer classes (Rifleman, Heavy Assault, Medic, etc.) with unique abilities are available. The game offers both in-game rank progression and an overall TrueSkill ranking system, with players staying grouped after matches, eliminating the need to return to the lobby immediately.
