From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commandos_3:_Destination_Berlin):
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin is a real-time tactics video game, the third instalment of the Commandos series. It is developed by Pyro Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. The game is the first in the series to use a true 3D engine, and the last to use real-time tactics before being converted to a first-person shooter genre.
The Mac OS X version of the game was released in May 2005 by Feral Interactive along with Commandos 2: Men of Courage as part of the Commandos Battle Pack.[1] A remaster of the game, titled Commandos 3 - HD Remaster, was released in August 2022 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.[2]
The player is in control of a group of Commandos to use to complete missions. Destination Berlin marks the first game not to feature the Driver, who is part of the original Commandos team. Natasha (aka "Lips"), who was introduced in Commandos: Beyond The Call of Duty, is also absent. The only available Commandos characters are the Green Beret, the Sniper, the Marine, the Sapper, the Spy, and the Thief.
The game contains very similar gameplay to the previous games, with a similar 'point and click' approach. However, it has fewer hotkeys compared to the previous instalment, and the user has to press buttons at the bottom of the screen on the action bar.
The player can see all enemies on the map, follow their movements, and make attacks depending on their behavior. There are a few differences, such as the addition of an assault rifle, a weapon less powerful than a rifle but more powerful than a pistol. Also, all units can use weapons such as the grenade, rather than just the Sapper as in previous games. The previous "knapsack" setup, simply showing a picture of all the items the currently selected commando has in his possession, superimposed over a picture of a rucksack, has been abandoned in favor of a "box".
When searching enemy bodies or supply crates, a similar, but smaller box is shown for their capacity. Commandos such as the Green Beret or Spy, who have only been armed with the regulation pistol in earlier games, can now use almost all the small arms available, except for the sniper rifle. While adding realism (the Commandos are no longer useless outside their area of expertise), some players complain that this robs the Commandos of their roles within the group, making them more generic. This does however, make the missions less linear because the same job can be done by different Commandos.
The new "cover mode" ability allows the player to leave Commandos waiting at a door or behind cover, ready to shoot at any enemy that comes within range, often more accurately than when controlled manually. This gives the option of ambushes and more defensive tactics.
Commandos 3 is broken down into three campaigns: Central Europe, Normandy and Stalingrad; each contains various missions, some shorter than others. Each campaign has different players involved but not all. Destination Berlin has a time limit on most missions.
Characters
There are six commandos in Commandos 3: the Green Beret (Jack O'Hara), the Sniper (Sir Francis T. Woolridge), the Marine (James Blackwood), the Sapper (Thomas Hancock), the Spy (René Duchamp), and the Thief (Paul Toledo).
Plot
The tutorial begins with Jack O'Hara clearing out a bunker, Sir Francis T. Woolridge killing a few German soldiers with his sniper rifle and Thomas Hancock destroying a Panzer III tank with explosives. The game then shifts to 21 February 1939, where René Duchamp and Paul Toledo infiltrate the German Embassy in London and steal documents from a safe.
Commandos 3 received a "Gold" award from the Asociación Española de Distribuidores y Editores de Software de Entretenimiento (aDeSe), for more than 40,000 sales in Spain during its first 12 months.[17]
Commandos 3 received "average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.[4] The game was criticized for being difficult to play on account of having fewer hotkeys than its predecessors. The player has to control the commandos using the buttons in the pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen. Also, the game is locked at an 800x600 resolution[12] which was relatively low at the time of release.
