- The M3 Half-Track is only seen Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. Although they can not be driven by the player, there is a segment of the mission in which the player uses an AA gun mounted on top of the half-track to shoot down enemy planes. In another mission player will get a chance to fight an enemy tank-attack by using the AT gun situated on top of the M3 Half-track. Also,in the mission following the prologue, the player is given the opportunity to operate a machine gun, after the actual MG-gunner is shot. So far, M3 Halftrack were exclusively featured in this game, probably due to the fact it strictly concentrates on American involvement in war.

- The M3 Half-track is the Allies APC featured in Battlefield 1942 and is typically utilized as a transport vehicle. It has a capacity of six players holding the driver, the gunner and four passengers. The gunner mans the mounted Browning machine gun, which helps in keeping off enemy infantry or as an anti-aircraft weapon. The M3 constantly resupplies all crew members, and also heals the four passengers. This can turn the vehicle into an "ambulance", which can be taken along when assaulting bases to heal wounded players. Its ammo replenishing ability also gives a practically infinite supply of ammo to the machine gun. Despite its advantages, the M3 is only lightly armored. It is immune to rifle and pistol rounds, but takes damage from machine guns and all weapons of the Assault class. It will be destroyed by two to three tank shells, one to two artillery shells or one to two Engineer ExpPacks. It is also a large target and poor maneuverability. An upgraded variant, the M3 GMC, is a vehicle featured in the Battlefield 1942 expansion.
