Call of Duty 3


Activision has revealed some juicy info on its upcoming Shooter title, Call of Duty 3. It has been earlier announced that it is coming to Xbox 360, with versions planned for PS3 and Wii; well according to Activision, a version of the game will still come out on Wii, including PSP, PS2, and Xbox, but no word of it branching out to PS3 was mentioned.

A third installment to the quite-successful Call of Duty franchise, this Treyarch-developed game is set to hit video retail stores this Fall. Here are some updates (thanks MDN360!) on the game's story and features:

ALL-NEW CLOSE-QUARTERS COMBAT: One of the most dramatic scenes on WWII was the close-quarters combats, where enemy troops is so close soldiers can hear the commands of the opposition's superiors. It's only right that this WWII-themed title brings justice to that scenario, and they have done so by featuring close-quarters battle mechanics that brings you face-to-face with the enemy. Fight hand-to-hand, disarm traps, improvise explosive devices, and execute a host of other battlefield challenges that require cunning and swift reflexes.

NOWHERE TO HIDE: One of the basics in winning a war is destroying the enemy's stronghold. In Call of Duty 3's environmental physics, you will be able to wipe out soft cover hideouts, such as wooden walls, barrels and crates—forcing your foes out in the open. Off course it won't be a fair battle is the enemy can't inflict the same damge to your camp, so better watch out.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH TO VICTORY: Wars are won by making the right decisions, so your judgement calls in battles play a huge role in every outcome. Next-generation level design provides multiple attack routes that let you decide how to confront the enemy, either by valiantly striking them head on, or sneaking on them behind their back. Each choice you make requires you to use special tactics, from sniping and demolition to straight out frontal assaults.       

UNPRECEDENTED COMBAT OPTIONS: Execute parachute drops, armored assaults or SAS commando raids. Riddle battlefields with tank shells and explosives. Drive tanks to topple barricades and invade enemy emplacements.

TEAM-BASED MULTIPLAYER WITH VEHICLES: Intense multiplayer functionality has been built from the ground up. Up to 24 players can battle it out as a variety of player classes, including riflemen, infantry, scouts, and others. Multiple-occupancy vehicles let you coordinate attacks with friends, driving while they fire a mounted machine gun from the turret. The game's wide range of vehicles include tanks, jeeps and motorcycles with sidecars.

Capture the glory, drama, and heartache of World War II without having a single bruise and collateral damage (except electricity bills and blistered fingers from too much playing). Are you ready Soldier?!

" is so close soldiers can here the commands of the opposition's superiors"

Shouldn't it be "hear the commands"?

I still cant believe it.

No release for PC?

I remember CoD originally started on PC... and now this?

I've lost all respect for Activision.

 » wow the Wii is being treated like a current gen system.

PS2 and Wii getting the exact same games while PS3 and 360 will be getting next gen stuff.

I guess when the PS2 dies out so will the Wii.
