The player is in control of a group of Commandos to use to complete missions. Each of the six Commandos, down from eight in the previous game, offers a specific expertise: diver, Green Beret, sapper, sniper, spy, and thief. The game contains very similar gameplay to the previous games, with the similar 'point and click' approach. However, it has fewer hotkeys compared to the previous installment, and the user has to press buttons at the bottom of the screen on the action bar. The player is able to 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 are able to 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 enemies bodies or supply crates, a similar, but smaller box is shown for their capacity. Commandos such as the Green Beret or Spy, who in earlier games have only been armed with the regulation pistol, 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 individual roles within the group, making them more generic. This does however, make the missions less linear, because the same job can 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 with more accuracy 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 containing a various amount of missions, some shorter than others. Each campaign has different players involved but not all. Destination Berlin has a time limit on most missions.
