Call of Duty 3 Details

 

Well it would seem that finally the #1 Xbox360 launch title, Call Of Duty 2's successor COD3 has finally started to spill the beans. At e3 we saw a wicked trailer but we pretty much can rest assured it was only CGI... but the fact is after the craze over COD2 and with Brothers in Arms to compete against COD3 is gonna rock! MasiveUNCfan on the Xbox.com forums has taken the liberty of typing out an article in the newest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly about call of duty 3, and its improvements over its Xbox360 predecessor, and WOW we're talking some major improvements. Click Read More or check the source for all the awesome details! Can't wait for IGN's CoD3 site to be up come July 4th.

 

Leaps over COD2:

 

In game system has been rebuilt

Characters move more realistically.

more textures and shaders in the environment

No more boarded up windows so now you can see the turn up landscape all around you.

foliage remains flattened when you walk over (you can track people now, until it is real[ly] destroyed)

Grenades leave real scorched earth.

Surfaces react to bullets like they should, grass is different from steel, steel is different from wood, and wood is different from water.

More than 24 characters on screen at one time.

Destructable cover

Global winds affect smoke grenades.

Now, when a tabk [tank] moves through smoke grenades the somke [smoke] will curl around it.

Bullets through smoke with stream out the other side moving the smoke.

Trees and grass will move with the wind

 

Things change:

 

You actually have to go through the actions of planting a bomb instead of holding A.

You have to row a boat while still trying to shoot you way to freedom.

Hand to hand combat compared to the way Condemed works.

CoD3 campaign takes place during the real campaign called Normandy Breakout. This is after D-day when the troops are moving inland to move the Germans back and liberate Paris.

 

Load times are bring erased between levels.

Play as Americans, British, Polish Resistance, and the Canadian army

Example: When you are fighting with the British you will fight along side the French resistance.

 

Multiplayer

 

24 online

Single or Splitscreen [Guest support?]

Players choose their class ranging from medic to sniper.

Each ability as you earn points in rank.

Ex. A scout at first can only call in a couple artillery barages. As they gain ability they will be able to call in a broken arrow

Online leaderboards track stats and rankings by specialty.

New Multiplayer mode called War.

Axis and Allied teams battling for strategic locations.

And of course vehicles.

 

The post says that cod3.1up.com will launch on July 4th of this year and will contain exclusive screens and ingame screenshots!!!!! Keep in mind that until we see scans these are unsubstantiated rumors. (But good ones.) The game will be out in Fall 2006 for the PC and all next-gen consoles.

PC????? Είχα ακούσει στην Ε3 ότι το COD3 δεν θα βγει για τα PC's αλλά μόνο για τις next gen consoles. Παίχτηκε κάτι που δεν ξέρω;

From team-xecuter.com:

We are now happy to see our connectivity kit is on the market and we have completely sold out of our first batch (so thank you to all Xecuter(info) users!!)

Now the Hitachi firmware is out sales are going crazy and we are working hard to get the second batch out to resellers as soon as possible so if you haven't managed to get your hands on one yet please be patient.

 

Some great news to report, last night we successfully tested the Xecuter ODD to USB adapter. So in the very very near future you will be able to connect your ODD direct to your USB port, completely eleminating all sata problems. This device has been most difficult to fine tune but we are almost there. Reading from windows is working now we are just tweaking the USB drivers for writing functions - watch this space as this will be the #1 360 Firmware Modding Device.

 

Talking of firmware modding, we have seen the recent spate of dual firmware mods. Pretty shocking designs really, but then again its not the best mod in the world anyway. So we have designed a much higher quality device with a few extra functions and have passed it onto the factory to send out to resellers. Will be very cheap and have a much higher quality build with better functions with regard to enable / disable, write enable / disable, led status, connectivity etc. We will make sure its cheaper than anything else available and as easy to install as possible (even though its still quite difficult - not for the beginner). It's nothing innovative but we figured if some modders were going to use a dual firmware device they may as well use one built by Xecuter so they can be sure of the quality and support.

 

We have also finished designing and testing the 360 Case Unlocking Kit. It's well designed and much higher quality than anything else you may have seen available. This will be on the market within the next 2 weeks.

 

Xecuter are dedicated to bringing you well designed tools to make your Xbox 360 modding experience as painless as possible - more to come soon.

 

On a final note kudos to Commadore4Eva on his firmware hacks. Most of Xecuter are sceners before mod designers and the work is appreciated.
