Plenty of people play Call of Duty 3 online, myself included. Its just that the servers that are hosted for that game suck. There isn't much in the way of stability for those servers, so they just crash and disconnect all the time. Its a very annoying experience.
Whats this about them going back to World War II? I could have sworn with Call of Duty 4, they were going to distance themselves from what I thought was the constant repeats of WWII games like the Medal of Honor series and whatever else. Meh, I could care less. I trust they know what their doing with this new game, so whatever the cost (as long as its not over 70 USD), I'll be sure to buy it. I hope they offer better servers this time. v-v
