Commandos 3: Destination Berlin is a real-time tactics video game and the third installment of the Commandos series. It was developed by Pyro Studios and published by Eidos Interactive in October 2003 for Windows, with a Mac OS X port releasing in June 2005 via publisher Feral Interactive. The game is the first in the series to use a true 3D engine as well as introduce deathmatch multiplayer mode.
The player controls a group of Commandos that are used to complete missions. Destination Berlin marks the first installment of the Commandos series not to feature the Driver, who was 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 gameplay is similar to the previous games, allowing the player to see all enemies on the map and using a "point and click" control scheme, but it has fewer hotkeys compared to the previous installment, and the user must press buttons on the action bar.
Gameplay experience and strategy differ from the previous games of the series, particularly around addition of an assault rifle, a weapon less powerful than a rifle but more powerful than a pistol. Additionally, 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, has been abandoned in favor of a "box" system. When searching enemy bodies or supply crates, a smaller box is shown for their capacity. Commandos such as the Green Beret or Spy, who were only armed with pistols in previous installments, can now use all small arms except for the sniper rifle.
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.
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 Ren Duchamp and Paul Toledo infiltrate the German Embassy in London and steal documents from a safe.
In the Battle of Stalingrad, Woolridge kills an elite German sniper, lifting the siege of a Soviet command post at the Barmaley Fountain. General Franklin O'Donnell then arrives for a meeting with Soviet personnel, accompanied by Hancock and O'Hara. A massive German airstrike ensues followed by airdrops of the Fallschirmjger. In an effort to protect the General, the commandos repulse waves of infantry attacks including a 7.5 cm Pak 40 anti-tank gun. When the meeting ends, O'Donnell crosses behind German lines and boards a Junkers Ju 52, much to the commandos' confusion. When they too enter the aircraft, O'Donnell orders the Germans to arrest them.
While in an underground prison cell, O'Hara subdues a jail guard and frees Woolridge and Hancock, telling them of O'Donnell's betrayal. When they make their way through the sewers, they run into Ren Duchamp, who informs them that O'Donnell plans to reveal top-secret information to the Germans. Unknown to the three, Duchamp tells them they are in Berlin. The player is given three tactical ways to kill O'Donnell before a timer initiates, after which he would appear. After O'Donnell's assassination, the four commandos enter a Kbelwagen and escape the capital.
In Saint-Avold, Ren Duchamp and Paul Toledo board an armoured train carrying stolen artwork but are discovered. The Germans warn the next station and they try to derail the train using explosives. Jack O'Hara discovers this and he single-handedly clears the area before boarding the train just as it passes. Together with Duchamp and Toledo, the three take control of the train. The Germans, however, destroy an incoming railroad bridge, forcing O'Hara to stop the locomotive. Duchamp and Toledo are captured and loaded onto a truck along with the artwork, while O'Hara hides in the back of another truck.
With the German convoy scheduled to pass through a small town in Forbach, Sir Francis T. Woolridge and Thomas Hancock eliminate the town of all German resistance, allowing American soldiers to fortify the area and prepare for their arrival. The convoy arrives escorted by Tiger I tanks but is ambushed as they enter the town. The trucks carrying Duchamp and Toledo are freed and the artwork is recovered.
On June 6, 1944, the night before the Normandy landings, Hancock and Toledo infiltrate a German encampment serving as reinforcements near Caen. They destroy a fuel depot, munitions building and as many Tiger I tanks, Schwerer Panzersphwagen armored cars and Sd.Kfz. 251 half-tracks. At daybreak, James Blackwood infiltrates a port in Le Havre, disabling two German E-boats using mines. As the landings commence, O'Hara joins the Americans as they converge on Omaha Beach. Together, they take out the coastal artillery and clear the bunkers of all German troops.
Developed by Zonic, a Mac OS X port of the game was released on June 3, 2005, by publisher Feral Interactive along with the Commandos 2: Men of Courage as part of the Commandos Battle Pack.[4][5] Developed by Raylight Games, a remastered version of the game subtitled HD Remaster was released on August 30, 2022, via publisher Kalypso Media for Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.[6]
Commandos 3 received a "Gold" award from the Asociacin Espaola de Distribuidores y Editores de Software de Entretenimiento (aDeSe), for more than 40,000 sales in Spain during its first 12 months.[20]
Commandos 3 received "average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.[7] The game was criticized for being difficult to play on account of having fewer hotkeys than its predecessors and being locked at an 800x600 resolution[15] which was low-end at the time of release.
Hello, this is a little heads up if you are thinking about upgrading to windows 10 regarding the compatibility with commandos games, I have ran in to a few problems, and you will need to follow these workarounds to get the games working.
The menu screen flickers, the sniper scope is the wrong colour, and it instantly crashes whenever you pick the sniper's sniper rifle, rendering any mission involving the sniper unplayable. The same happens if an enemy sniper tries to aim at you, the game instantly crashes. Making most of the game unplayable.
Another solution to fix the game is by downloading the files from this site and then extracting them into your Commandos 3 directory, this will fix the game in full screen mode by fixing the flickering menus and all the crashing problems, however the graphical issue with the sniper scope will still remain. (thanks to herbert3000 for finding):
Install the latest DirectX runtime (June 2010), download here and run the installer, and when prompted extract the files where you want. Next go into the extracted files and run the "DXsetup.exe", and install that. Now you can delete the folder if you want. Now after these 2 steps restart your pc.
Commandos BEL: Will not run, i get an error saying (directx5 not found), i have tried the gog version and retail, reinstalled and neither work, changing compatibility settings doesn't fix it either, standalone mods such as strike in narrow path will not run either
Thats odd, renaming the exe to something else and then naming it back to commandos.exe seems to fix it, tested and fixed it for both the retail and gog versions, didn't need to reinstall or change any of the compatibility/admin options like he said either.

Another massive bug i forgot to mention on windows 8 and 10 is on the get to the engine mission (3rd or 4th mission if I remember correctly in the Central Europe campaign), the graphics are completely screwed up and it's unplayable, (not sure if that method above fixes this or not as i have win7 at the moment so can't test):
Commandos is a stealth-oriented real-time tactics video game series. The five games released between 1998 and 2006 are all set during World War II and follow the adventures of a fictional Allied commando unit. Each mission is loosely based on historical events during World War II to carry the plot. The series was developed by the Spanish developer Pyro Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. The series has sold a total of 3.3 million copies and generated $41 million of revenue at retail.[1]
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines (CBEL) was released on 1 July 1998. It was published by Eidos Interactive, and developed by Pyro Studios. It features 20 missions. The view is isometric with tactical gameplay. A Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version of Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, with the first 5 missions, was also made by Russian homebrew programmers, but lacked sound and certain other features of the PC version.
Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty, a set of new Commandos missions issued as a standalone game, was released on 31 March 1999. Despite it being much shorter than Behind Enemy Lines, it is a much more difficult game containing levels on a far greater scale to the extent of being comparable to those that were to be seen in Commandos 2. It has 8 missions, with locations including Yugoslavia and Greece.
A full sequel, released in 2001, was rebuilt with a 3D engine, more interactive environments, more skills for the commandos, and new characters. Like its predecessor, it drew heavily from war films and titled its levels in reference to such films as The Bridge on the River Kwai and Saving Private Ryan. The game received even greater praise.
