Call of Duty 3 - Gameplay Footage

Call of Duty 3


Some nifty footage from Activision's next entry in its World War 2 first person shooter franchise, Call of Duty 3, has come to light. What we've got here is a soldier moving carefully through a war torn environment even as shells explode and buildings crumble all around him. There's also a cool segment that gives you an idea of how hand to hand combat will work in-game. Though this footage comes from the Xbox 360 version, what we've heard is that the PS3 version will sport a few extra light sources among other minor visual flourishes (cue flame wars). Before you start though, I should add that it is expected that both iterations will be nearly indistiguishable from one another.

It is my humble opinion

thats not all chris

"Route chosen, you and your fellow soldiers break the German line. Walking across the rubble and ruin of Saint-L??, you see a group of your allies throw grenades into a building to clear the Germans inside -- they fall from the second story, burning. Smoke flows from them and the now-burning building even as the Germans die. Again, scripted, but to help maintain the illusion of WWII, not to force you down a path. Events like these are part of why creative director Rich Farrelly is so positive about the Blu-ray format -- "More room equals more stuff. It's a simple equation. Any time we're given less limitations, we're going to exploit that to its full." source: 1up.com i guess blu-ray really does make a difference.

Ehhhhhhh.....

Barely loooks like an improvement over Call of Duty 2. Doesn't look worth it if you ask me. It seems exactly the same but with hand-to-hand combat and slightly better smoke effects.

$ 600 Plus tax

Sony owns 1up, so what he says means nothing to me. sony is going bankrupt thats why they will be selling blue-ray games for $70 dollars. and ripping you fony fanboys off. Wake up please!
by SillyHalfMexican - 2006-07-05 14:52:32
Nice

Looks very nice visually and in the audio department. Game play looks a lot better then CoD2, the controls actually seem like they are meant for the console. Not just some *****ty port over to the console and slap a $60 price tag on it. With horrible controls.

Boy..

it looks awesome! I hope I can covince my parents to by me a ps3.

To Number Ten...

If you're going to say, "and ripping you fony fanboys off." Try out proper english and replacing fony with Sony. Learn to diss. Thanks.

OMG

This game looks sick!! Im so buyin a 360 to play this!! The ps3 is obviously better and I dont know why my M$ bretheren are tryin to make it out like its better than the ps3 because its not... ps3 has a lil bit better grafix and blu ray!! and dont mention that the 500$ model is basically a smaller hard drive.... (i think) i could be wrong but Im gettin a 360 1- because I hate Playstation games 2- 360 cost less and I dont even have a hd tv like 60 or 70 percent of the population... and plz I dont need a game thats 30 gigs... Im not going to spend my whole life playin some game... And anyways id be glad to switch cds or put half of it on my HD just as long as they make it so when i get half way through I dont have to put in disc one boot up the game and then load it and put in disc 2

To 360...

What have Sony fanboys to make you laugh?
by - 2006-07-05 17:09:40
Looks blah

I don't know what the X-bots are laughing at 'cause they're going to end up playing the exact same crap. (well, with not as many lights, like it makes any difference) Right now, BIA and Medal of Honor look a lot more impressive.
by - 2006-07-05 17:52:23
wow

I watched that video and I was literally blown away! HOLY *****! I want call of duty 3 right *****en now!!!!!! oh and ***** all your sony fanboys! Why the ***** are you commenting on this blog or better yet why the ***** are you even viewing this blog u ***** sucking maggots! ***** OFF! (*_*)
by - 2006-07-05 18:07:52
more xbox fan boys

lmfao @ #14 you don't need a game thats 30 gigs? Okay so umm grab a hammer and destroy your xbox360 and go grab a snes because you obviously dont need that 5 gigs or whatever is on a xbox360 to play a decent game? Microsoft fanboys make no sense at all.
by - 2006-07-05 18:17:23
cool

ya it looks pretty good, graphics wise, they are on par with the current COD2, although with added touches like grass and shrubs laying down when they get stepped on, or how there will always be more than 24 people on screen, and up to 24 players online, COD3 will be a hit dare i say as much as Halo 3....maybe. Plus the melee combat looked awesome, but how are they going to implement that gamplay into online matches

To #18...

You do realise that this Blog is in the PS3 spot right? Because this news also pertains to the PS3 since Call of Duty 3 is comming out for both the Xbox 360 and PS3...Learn to read, thanks.

10. » $ 600 Plus tax "Sony owns 1up, so what he says means nothing to me. sony is going bankrupt thats why they will be selling blue-ray games for $70 dollars. and ripping you fony fanboys off. Wake up please!" so charging me £50 for games on dvd discs isnt ripping me off either? or the fact x360 + hd-dvd player (when released) will almost make it same price as a ps3, and then you get more for your money with ps3 than 360 (slightly beter graphics, web browser, bigger hard drive). all fanboys, do research into what your saying before you mouth off.

>> #25

*have you guys ever thought that mabey cod3 would look slightly better on PS3 because it is coming out 5 months later* very good spot, ever thought it would look better on ps3 because ps3 is a better console? nah didnt think you would, too busy looking at things with ur "360" glasses on, head up your own arses and with the 360 permanently attached to you d**k, while wearing a "i love everything microsoft, hate everything not" t-shirt!!! FANBOYS DRIVE ME INSANE!! i like all 3 consoles, they all offer something different. so everyone stop all the stupid *****ing and just enjoy the *****in games, because thats what its all about
by - 2006-07-06 03:36:22
hmmmmmm - to #28

You say fanboys drive you insane and that you like all 3 consoles.. hmm, then why are you saying ps3 is a better console, which obviously makes you a fan of ps3, stop ripping 360 ppl, just coz we are different, just stop arguing and wait for ps3's release, then we'll see who wins, f.a.ggots!

>> #29...hahaha omg

"hmm, then why are you saying ps3 is a better console, which obviously makes you a fan of ps3" lol!!!! ill just ignore that comment. so if i said the xbox was statistically better than ps2 in performance, would i be an xbox fanboy, or would i just be stating fact?? everyone knew that xbox was a better console than ps2, nobody can deny that. just like this next gen, ps3 STATISTICALLY out performs 360. Fact. if you don't like it, tough, your obviously very quick to forget the last generation and love your console a little bit too much. however, haing the bigger performance doesnt mean ps3 will be better than ps3, as shown in last gen between xbox n ps2. ps2 may have been worse, but it sold tons more
by - 2006-07-06 05:42:47
?

"having the bigger performance doesnt mean ps3 will be better than ps3" wtf?, having the bigger performance doesnt mean ps3 will be better than itself :S wtf lol

C'mon now...

What are we? In 6th grade? Why we arguing over stupid ***** like this? If you have a 360 and are getting it cool. No need bashing the PS3. Same goes for the PS3 peeps. No need acting like children. I will be getting for the 360 because thats the only system I could afford and that I liked. I'm saving up for a Wii also but I can't afford the PS3. You people make me laugh.
by - 2006-07-06 16:24:43
lol

Ok if you watch the video it shows the shoulder buttons on the 360 version(when the melee fight starts) Its not for wii just because it says the wii's release date near the video \.

1up isn't owned by Sony

First of all, I'm sorry for the long comment, but I'm frankly getting tired of idiotic fanboys. For the person who said 1up is owned by Sony, is wrong. 1up is owned by Zaff media not Sony. Check your information before jumping on the chance of bashing PS3 for no reason. Xbox fanboys sometimes need to Shut the f@ck up! You got your 360 fine. No need to bash the PS3 for no reason. Ok, we got it that the price is higher then what you paid, but your not gonna pay that price. For those who said I can buy a 360 and Wii for the price of the PS3, your point is? You are Microsoft fanboys so afcourse your gonna say i can buy 2 system for that price. Your not the ones who are gonna $600, but Sony fanboys and people looking for new technology. Please stop acting like babies and enjoy the systems for what they are, gaming machine and thats all. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo don't care about you, but only your money. Your making seem as if your gonna defend your console with your life. Its just an entertainment system, that you will replace in 6 years. For those who think the other systems beside theirs sucks, need to give their opinions another thought. If it wasn't for those companies that you hate, your system wouldn't have any compition, and in return your system would have uncreative and sucky games. Wether you admit or not, without the other systems, you wouldn't be playing Video Games right now. So, stop all this nonsence and enjoy playing games. We play them to be entertained, not to start flamewars. Its okay to be fanboys, there is nothing wrong with that, but you don't need to bash other gamers for choosing other systems. Everyone has there own likes and dislikes just like you. Perhaps all of these fights are why many people don't play games, or stop playing them because of this behavior.

The Truth

I have never been more amused with idiotic fan boyish comments in my life. Let’s look at the facts: PS3 has more theoretic power than the 360: Fact Xbox had more theoretical power than the PS2: Fact Sony made a little mistake last time around with making their console less powerful but more cost effective. I see history has not repeat it’s self. Look, the PS2 owned the XBOX because it had good games. If it weren’t for games like Halo 1 & 2 the Xbox would be done. It all comes down to games and because of the PS3’s Japanese support, by default, it will have great games. It’s kind of funny when you think of it because the XBOX had no Jap. support and you saw how well it faired against the PS2. I currently own a Xbox 360 and I must concur after playing all it’s games only a few were decent and those had better PC releases too. Because of the harder to develop architecture of the PS3 the games which come out must utilize it’s power and in tern be better games. Unlike the easy to develop 360 titles which don’t deliver a next gen experience at all. It’s very sad how I have a supposed next-gen console but I play my PS2 instead :(. lol, a little bit late now but yea, Call of Duty 3 does look very good, not Halo 3 good, but good nevertheless.
