Microsoft only added one new title to the list of Xbox 360 games that are backward compatible with the Xbox One today, but it"s a big one. You can now play Call of Duty 3 on Microsoft"s latest generation console.
Today"s addition is the third game from the Call of Duty franchise to show up on the Backward Compatibility list. Call of Duty 2 was added last month, and Call of Duty: Black Ops was added back in May.
Follow the Allies on the Normandy Breakthrough campaign as they push inland to liberate Paris and take the first step on the path to Berlin. Through a seamless narrative that delivers the rush of unrelenting battle and breathtaking action, players assume the roles of four ordinary Allied soldiers—American, British, Canadian and Polish—and are thrust onto an authentic, living battlefield for an unprecedented variety of combat. Experience advanced high-definition graphics, detailed character animations, and explosive on-screen action, delivering the most immersive and cinematically intense war experience ever.
