You're capital loss carry forward can be written against the gains. The 3,000 applies only in EXCESS of capital gains. Therefore you can write off 103,000 and carry forward the balance.

Year 1: 200k capital loss. Write off 3,000 carry over 197,000
Year 2: 100k Capital gain - 100k capital loss (out of the 197) plus an additional 3k against ordinary income. Carry forward 94k of Capital loss for next year.

First..."realized" losses...not just a drop in value, a loss at sale....you must realize the loss. Capital losses are available against Capital gains...(ther are short & long term holding considerations too), and then $3000 are available against oridinary income. Any amount of losses not used can be carry forwarded and used as above, incl the $3000 year, until used up. Hence, your not limited...and if you make some good gains this year (or next) the losses will be available against them...to an unlimited amount. It is the excess that is limited.
