Boot Camp

Assuming the proper fighting stance is integral on the field. There are three positions: standing, crouching, and prone, and each has their own place during battle. Use the standing position for getting from point A to point B quickly, crouch when darting through an active battlefield, and lie prone for taking cover behind low objects. In general, you should crouch whenever given the opportunity, as your accuracy improves substantially, and makes you much more difficult to hit.

Call of Duty 3 doesn't have any fancy "health meters" or "hearts" that reflect your current health. Instead, your health is reflected in your viewpoint. If your vision turns fuzzy and you see a thickening red border, that means you're about to die. Thankfully, you'll automatically regain health if you can avoid taking further damage for a few seconds; once the red border subsides, you're good to go.

If you find yourself kissing the ground more often than you'd like, you're likely not using cover often enough. For the most part, the only time you shouldn't be hiding behind an object is when you're running to the next point of cover.

An unprepared soldier is often a dead soldier. Keep your gun at the ready by reloading early and often, especially after every gun battle. Sometimes those few extra bullets are the difference between life and spending the rest of your life in a casket.

Aesop fable references aside, treating a war zone like a marathon is a sure-fire way of getting killed. As mentioned throughout this guide, don't be afraid to take it slowly! You can do far more damage by shooting into a war zone than from the middle of one. 

While it may seem that some areas have an infinite amount of soldiers, even the enemy's supplies are finite. So take your time and think about your actions before proceeding.
