Title: Gameplay Glitches
Post by: 47_M450N_47 on November 10, 2006, 08:26:00 AM

I love CoD3, I think it's an awesome game, but there are some pretty major glitches in it that need to be patched.  On the mission where Frank (the Sgt.) dies in the American campaine, when you are supposed to cover Huxley as he goes to blow up the tank I had to restart from a checkpoint because he got freaking stuck on a doorframe and wouldn't move over 6 inches to go through.  I shot him, naded him, everything and he wouldn't move.  Restarting from checkpoint was the only way to fix it.  The next one, I can't remember which mission this happened on...but it was one of the first 3 where you end up the mission beside an 88 that you have taken over and one of the characters says something like "No thank, I just wanna watch the show" or something to that effect.  Anyway, the glitch happened 2 times (both times I restarted from checkpoint to try and fix it) when I got to the house where you have to jump out the hole in the wall down to where the friendly tank is sitting, the objective wouldn't complete and none of my troops would follow.  The first time I just went through the rest of the mission and killed everyone by myself, but it wouldn't complete because my stupid team mates were still at that house.  Those are the 2 biggest glitches I've found.

Other annoying aspects that take away from the overall experience of the game are the randomly appearing characters (especially when an objective completes, sometimes characters will randomly spawn around you), the AI is alright, but sometimes they get annoying.  Often I will run to cover and one of my stupid friends will try to take cover at the same spot, pushing me out into the open resulting in me dieing.  This gets very annoying.  My teammates also tend to stop in the middle of a narrow passage, shooting very unaccurately at someone for several minutes while I try to get around them.  The german AI seems pretty good, I read about another person who said they were taking cover behind invisible walls, I haven't seen that for myself, but sometimes they take cover behind very small objects that make them easy targets.

Oh and another thing, has anyone else had problems with the brightness?  When I first started the game it was waaaayyy too dark, so I adjusted the brightness.  It said that it saved my changes, but every time I start the game the first thing I have to do is set the brightness again.  Has anyone else experienced this?  It's not my TV I don't believe because every other game I own looks great on it without adjusting any brightness settings or anything.

I really like this game and love playing it, but sometimes it just gets on my nerves that the development team didn't fix these obvious glitches.  Someone apparently did a crappy job of testing.  They need to put out a patch ASAP to fix these problems.

I've only played Multi-player with friends so far, but an issue I am having is the entire thing freezing after game 4 or 5. total lock-up and have to shut down and reboot my 360. That and people get dropped from the game, but they never get dropped when we play other games.

My 360 is stock with hard drive. That's my complaints so far.

Brightness isn't an issue on mine, I am playing on a Dell 26" LCD widescreen and can see everything. My brother-in-law though has a projector and on the night levels, in multi-player, he has a really hard time seeing.

*EDIT* Just remebered one other thing that bothers me. When I am walking or running in MP, sometimes my rifle turns white and doesn't re-draw. That pisses me off.

Yeah, an update to my glitches encountered list would be the whole getting stuck on small objects thing.  I played through chapters 8 and 9 earlier today and was killed a few times because I couldn't walk over a small piece of wood or rock laying on the ground.

Yeah, the more I play it the more problems I see. Some bad programming, some bad design. What's the deal with telling me 'objectives updates' and making me press back so see what I have to do next instead of displaying it on screen? It tells me what objective I've just completed on screen, which is useless. I know what objective I've just done, I want to know what to do next without pressing a button.
  I've also seen the AI have firefights from about 3 feet away which is just laughable. It looks like something from Police Squad. Two AI guys just a couple of feet away and not able to hit each other. I have to push by and take out the enemy guy. I won't start on what the friendly AI getting in my way and taking cover next to me forcing me into the line of fire is doing to me. It's frustrating as hell to me.
  At least the multiplayer is going okay so far. The sooner I finish the single player and get it over with, the better.

Yeah, after my previous post I went home and played, on that mission where you have to rescue the 3 frenchmen there were several of those 3 feet away firefights.

Does anyone have a contact at Activision or Treyarch?  Maybe we could submit a detailed list of the glitches and see if they will patch them.

I got stuck once in the house where you have to jump through the burning hole in the floor, couldn't move and had to restart the checkpoint. What bothers me more is is how occasionally enemy bullets pass through objects and walls, makes it tough.

There are some wierd glitches in multiplayer when you kill someone, sometimes their body flies way up in the air or flips around on the ground a lot.

i HATE german spawnpoints in this game!! its jus like big red one. they keep on comin and comin until you move close enough to them. not so easy to do on hard. also like in big red one, sumtimes you can kill ur own guys by meleein right by em if they aren't main characters. AND when you mellee germans in both games, they fly backwards. um, i don't know about you, but i don't think someone would go flying if you hit them with the butt of ur gun.

The game has started freezing often for me, its getting pretty frigging annoying tbh.

Hey guys, I found a cool one.  In the firstl level, I believe that it's right after you exit the cafe or some other building.  There is a small wall outside, and Germans are in a building that you have to cross a street to get to.  Anyways, I was moving to the right interior of the building, Tommy gun blazing, when I suddenly fell through the floor and fell a thousand feet to my death watching the map from below.

My brother and I were fooling around online because we were waiting for people to show up and we parked two cars next to each other. I got out to get in the turret and got stuck. The only way to get out was to get shot. This happened to me and my brother, it was funny!

Lol, I don't even get the chance to notice any glitches because the game freezes so much, I hardly advance. I also noticed that playing on 1080i made the game freeze much quicker than standard 480i/p (only played it once on 480p so I'm not sure if I was just lucky). I just don't know what seems to be the problem why it freezes?? I tried the same disc on a friend's 360 and no freezes whatsoever for him, damn!

One of the guys that I work with has reported several problems with the weapons of dead people continuing to fire bullets in a straight pattern (usually the MG42) and sometimes the muzzle flare from a dead person's gun would stay in the air where they were standing.  he said that he was using the M1 Garand and had problems with the muzzle flare staying there after he had stopped firing as well.  I haven't had any problems with anyone shooting or seeing through trees, but I'm sure it is there.  I hadn't played the game in a week or two and hoped that they would have put a patch out for it yesterday but when I started the game up I saw that there was none... How long does it take for them to patch it?  This would be a freaking great game if not for so many glitches... whoever did the testing for this game needs to be freaking fired, they suck.

I'm playing the single player campaign and am on the Mace where toward the end you use the binoculars to target tanks.  I'm at that checkpoint but no matter what I do I can't get the binocs to come out.  I've checked my controller settings and it's ste to default.  I push down on the left stick and all it does it flash MP40 or whatever weapon I'm holding on the left after holding it for a second.  Also, when I use the right bumper it will change to the Bren from the MP40 instead of throwing a frag grenade, but it won't change from the Bren to the MP40.  So, for now I'm stuck at this point in the game.  

This to me is very weird.  I've looked over my options and controller config many times and rebooted the 360 to no avail.  I'm going to swap out my controller batteries and see if this is maybe some weird low battery behaviour.

Post by: the0ry on December 14, 2006, 08:26:00 AM

Swapping in new batteries did nothing...my controls are still screwed and I can't finish this level.  Anyone hear of this or have any ideas?

Title: Gameplay Glitches
Post by: the0ry on December 14, 2006, 01:49:00 PM

I had to restart the whole chapter to get the binocs to work.  I guess my save game/checkpoint was bugged somehow...very strange.  But alas, the game has been beat...finally.

I saw a couple of guys driving around in an invisible tank in MP today.  Nothing special about it, all you could see was too guys floating through the air.

in multi player if you throw a grenade from by a tree or cover, it get stuck and just hovers there, usually killing me.

me and my frind were in a tank, on live, on the same box, when i would drive away and he was in the mg, he would float out the top of like he had an elastic umbilical cord.

I don't know if this is exactly glitch related or not, but I have had the hardest time getting the assault rifle achievement.  I have all the other single player achievements except the assault trooper and veteran achievements.  I have beat missions on a few different chapters using only the Thompson, only the MP40, and only the BAR.  Thus far none of them have given me the achievement.  I threw no grenades and used no melee attacks and still nothing.  Anyone else had a similar problem?

Hopefully they will patch this game soon, it is in desperate need of a good patch.  I don't play it very much anymore because I'm waiting for some of the annoying glitches to be fixed first.

I found a glitch on loads multiplayer maps 1 on Merville 2 on Les Ormes 1 on Poisson (Not really a glitch just a trick) the 1 on Merville is where u get on a motorbike go down to all the house near the lake and then park the motorbike right next to the small alleyway (got to be perfect) and when you get out you should come out on the other side of the wall . . . Les Ormes first one is getting on mansion roof jump on the little wall next to the garden bit then jump to the wall infront of you then you should b on like a little porch run across to the end the aim for the end of the top roof and jump for it . . . the next 1 is jump through a tree  . . . Poisson get a tank go to the grave yard crash into the side tombstome thing with a big hole in it then get out but when you get out jump as soon as you get out

 also i found some glitches on single player i was workin ma way through houses and got hit by a grenade and found my self through loads of random doors wot a weird experience

Yeah, I've had kinda thing happen a couple of times... Only in Live MP, and there was no death at the end, I had to re-spawn myself to get bak up top...

I've also had those wierd glitches that have floating tanks and people running around on nothing... Seems they can't see me properly, coz I can camp underneath them and frag 'em... But purely for research purposes, of course z;)-~

I've had the usual probs with Ranked Games dropping out, but It's a lot better since the patch...  My only real major Glitch is that every half dozen or so games my treesiddy resets itself... goes to the Orange Live dashboard page (blank), then the grey tab on the right (Shut down controller/Turn off Console one) flashes up with a msg real quick (half a second) and the system resets....It's kind of a pain, but me thinks that 3 days straight of COD3 MP has warmed the poor little thing up!

Other than that I think it's a great game... Just as enjoyable as COD2 to play, with better MP maps and weapons IMHO (even tho there's no Co-Op)... Hope they keep patching!

I've got the same issue with Chapter 4 and 5 locking up my x-box.. Have you found a fix? I've tried clearing the cache, another copy, restarting the level etc... still locks up and makes rude noises at me.
