Our good friends at Activision recently sent us some info regarding the upcoming title Call of Duty 3. While now everyone knows that its being developed by Treyarch and will be Console only, more of the game details have been confirmed at its showcasing at QuakeCon 2006, which members of BFE and MyIS had the privelage of attending. We also know that activision have announced that a further Call of Duty title will be released in 2008 along with a new Tony Hawks title. They also confirmed that the 2008 Call of Duty title will be produced by Infinity ward, who are a PC only developer. While Infinity Ward ishavent released any of the game details - the game itself is confirmed.


So while we wait till more news becomes available and we wait for the upcoming BFE Campaign to start (registration opens on 16th August - put the date in your diary, click here (http://www.bfecod.com/faq.php?faq=aboutbfe#faq_whatisbfe) for more information), here's some previously unreleased screenshots exclusive to BFE of Call of Duty 3 for the Xbox and PS3 versions.

Enjoy!

"Infinity ward, who are a PC only developer"

Wrong answer there Activision. IW also makes console games. Like BB1 said look at cod2 and see how it turned out. I wonder if IW is going to SUPPORT the community and its product when they get our "cash"

I bet ya they dont.............................................. ..............

I'm very excited for Call of Duty PC Games. Can't say the same about console even though I am a 360 owner and the graphics are freaking amazing, infact maybe I would buy it just for fun one day, maybe rent.

COD for PC games has built communities such as this one, brought alot of competition for me personally for COD1/UO/2.

Alot of pubbers for all 3 of those games, alot of great ladders, leagues, and tournaments for cash.

It's cool to see casting teams and "codtv" evolve back in my mohaa days when this was all unavailable.

To me just 3 great games for 3 different reasons.

In my view, CoD1 and UO combined to bring a whole new experiance to the FPS scene. CoD2 should have and could have taken that experiance to new heights, if only the top brass at Infinity Ward had the vision to do what is right by the community. What other game could boast (and yes, I do mean boast) that their community was so large, strong and passionate about the game, that they organised a protest that bought down or caused 2650 servers to shut down or display the CCA (Cod Community Action) banner?

What other developer has the ignominious reputation of insulting their first total conversion mod team in a live roundtable discussion and then to insult all modders by saying that they "just weren't there?"

Yes, I know Grant Collier thinks he addressed the modders weren't there statement, but read it through properly - he has everything mixed up. To those that haven't seen it, I reproduce it here.

JRandom] There have been some things taken out of context that I have said in some interviews, some of them were lost in translation from the interview to release, some where poorly worded by me (since I will go on road shows to promote the games and some of these last 3 months, by the end of the trip I am running pretty ragged).

The comment about "modders not being there" was in reference to the map making contest we did for Call of Duty 1. It was open to the entire USA community and we only received 10 submissions. 7 of those submissions could not even compile. We were so disturbed by the results, we thought about canceling the contest. Instead, ATVI opened up the contest to the rest of the world and we finally got a lot more then 3 maps in for the contest. The winner of the contest was Roger Abrahamson, who now works for us as a level designer. A poor choice of words on my part, especially since the game had just come out and no one could of made a good mod in that time. Say that the "map makers" weren't there for that specific contest would of been more accurate. (After looking back at that interview and the amount of swearing in it, I am pretty sure it was done in Europe, late at night, in a pub. I am sure that many people reading this wouldn't like to be quoted in the same situation).

The comment about "we make the games we want to make" was in reference to setting budgets and having time lines, it has nothing to do with shutting out the community. So for instance, it could also be read as "we make the game we can make within the budget and the timeframe". BTW, we have never been over budget or late for release.

As to the SDK, internally we do not want to release the source code and my repeated discussions with the team about the full SDK would involve release the source. It is proprietary. If we did release it, you can be sure that EA would be all over it, not just the modding community.

The Checksum issue, we had someone looking into that, who said it couldn't be fixed. That person doesn't work here anymore, so we will look into it again.

As to CoD3 not having a PC version. Cut the Treyarch guys some slack for crying out loud. They are making it for PS2, GameCube, Xbox, Xbox360, and the PS3. All of that in 1 year and the game looks really good so far. They are a console shop, they are trying to get people some more CoD by Xmas. IW is still making PC versions of their games, but not PS2, Xbox, or Gamecube. Why not hate us for that?

Hmm…. what else …. Oh yeah. That interview I did where I was trying to be tight lipped but slipped out something that we might be working on. Well, I got a call right after that and now my official statement is “no comment”. 402 cannot say anything more, so don’t ask until after CoD3 is out or there is an announcement from ATVI (whichever comes first).

Now I am sure that those answers won’t make everyone happy, but if you have ever tried to “make everyone happy” you will know that it is impossible.



Check out the bold parts. What the hell is he talking about? The comment was made 2 frigging years AFTER CoD1 was released. It therefore bears ABSOLUTELY NO RELATIONSHIP to his statement in the fall of 2005.

So what are we left to believe. For me, I don't believe he really knows what he's doing or talking about and should not be in the exalted position that he holds. He should step aside and let someone who knows how to deal with customers take up the reins. Grant Collier is no more than a glorified map tester IMHO.

Let me take it a step further. Let us see now, what other Activision titles have a problem releasing a proper SDK? 1? 2? nope, none is the correct answer to the best of my knowledge. Again, lets look at GC's statement;

JRandom]
As to the SDK, internally we do not want to release the source code and my repeated discussions with the team about the full SDK would involve release the source. It is proprietary. If we did release it, you can be sure that EA would be all over it, not just the modding community.

Again, I highlight the salient part in red. Is he really saying, "not only will EA be all over it, but they will see that we stole lots of their code when we left to set-up IW."

That would explain why they defend and allow certain forum members to behave in the manner he does. Birds of feather flock together.

PS This is my own personal view and does not neccessarily reflect the views of the owners of Codboards.

I mean that is just the thing that sucks, when the game is rated people like Grant Collier are brought up. His actions good or bad on IWN or anywhere else means little to me, either the game you will like or the game you will not like.

Every COD series game has been different. COD1 brought the whole package becuase it was new and refreshing for everything, mods, competition, and the whole 9 yards.

Alot of people on the competitive world thought UO was a failure. It just is not that type of game Leagues really could sell to the competitive community in the long run, for public play though alot of people actually had "fun playing in a pub" and it was just fun.

With COD2 it was kinda funny, some pubbers were not happy but the competitors for the most part have welcomed it as mainstream competition, the mods they needed to compete are coming out, the anti cheats other then pb, and maps in major leagues such as CAL.

To the people who try to convince me that I should not enjoy playing COD2 I'm sorry to say I don't feel like I wasted my money. I have competed for this game, go to play a couple new maps, play on some public servers and have a good time, the visuals got a major upgrade, one of the biggest in the COD series, and the gameplay and movement feels right, the most important part that made it an accepted game for competition.

Look, I talked to someone here at codb about some mod going from cod to source, and the repsonse was it felt too much like source. That is why we play cod in the first place.

Lets be real guys, the focus shouldnt be on failed servers...every single game out there has WAY more servers then players so please dont hold your breath. See if there are fun public servers out there and there simply is for many in the competitive community.

There are two sides to online gaming. Public Social Gaming and Pure Competitive Gaming.

Just gets very tiring hearing quotes of all these Activision and IWN people on comments they should or shouldnt have made.

Was COD2 an ground breaking revolution no. Face it, change is scary. Nobody here wants to see COD turn into a source like game, UO was a risky call and it had mixed feelings.

They are a business, they kept the game smooth, fixed left leaning glitches, gave us punkbuster, gave us a couple new maps and the ones we liked, totally up'd the graphics and sound quality.

Also, as far as IW stealing things from EA keep in mind these guys made mohaa for EA, the created the things that made mohaa good and they moved on.

EA did not own jack **** and I can tell you why, go play the mohaa expansions and new game. Totally new things they had to develop and it was the biggest failure in the world.

Now if they do get access to some of that **** EA will put their money in the right place and all of a sudden moh may have a good title again, which i would like to see, something that of course if you are in the competitions business..you wont want to see.

First, I would like to point out that I don't believe I, personally, have ever suggested that somone shouldn't enjoy the game. ALL SP versions of the game are top knotch, ace even. IW have the capability to produce the best FPS games out there - and do - for the SP! The problem is mainly on MP.

The results of last years actions has changed the face of the on-line gaming world, for ALL companies except, it seems, Infinity Ward. Just check what EA are now doing with MoH:Airborne or Tripwire with RO and Valve with HL2, they are in the forums, answering questions, informing their communities of whats going on, what they are planning. They are providing the feedback that gamers want and that is all that was all that was ever really requested.

What did they do instead of answering the questions, they tried to suppress it.

Popular huh, what a joke. Here are some stats for ya CK to chew on. Now tell me if this is what a popular game should look like when you run up some stats. Hell CK even MOHAA has MORE players than servers. In the top 10 no make that top 15 all games has more players than server EXCEPT CoD2. It has more servers than players. You can find thousands of empty servers for cod2. Funny huh.
Popular NOT......

And one other thing, you said you own a xbox360. Take a good look at history and what platform has been eating steak, eggs and lobster with all the trimmings. What has the PC platform been eating, crumbs and bits of bits. Not even a bit of steak or what ever. Its just crumbs from a old stale biscuit. But xbox360 is all full fat and happy with all that fine eating of support. LOL, so tell me Im wrong in what I posted and I will fire back at ya big time with FACTS stright from the horses mouth or should I say buzzy bird beak.................................

COD2
All servers
6738 active servers
8298 players
797 servers with players in them
total utilization of active servers 11.8%

Public servers only
3891 active servers
7571 players
642 servers with players in them
total utilization of active public servers 16.5%

private servers only
2840 active servers
727 players
155 servers with players in them
total utilization of active private servers 5.46%

EDIT:

Here is a post by garetjax over at Raiders

Popular on Xbox360 - no doubt about it. Popular at pc lan tournaments - don't think so.

I'm not going to waste my time comparing the tournament money available this year for counterstrike vs cod2 - cod2 probably has 5% of what counterstrike has for available lan prizes. I sponsored the number one and number two gaming organizations in the US and top 5 in the world - Complexity and Team 3D.

This year Cod2 pc was not at any of the major tournaments as an official tournament - not at ESCW, WEG, Intel Summer Championships, or WCG.

It is not even as popular as Cod 1 was for PC's. In CoD1 many of the pro gaming organizations had cod teams (pro meaning they paid their players salaries).

At the high point of CoD1 some pro players were getting $2000 an 8 week season to play CoD1 and CoD1 actually appeared as an offical tournament with a $50,000 USD prize at a major lan (summer cpl 2004).

Not only can you look at prize money compared to CS, BF2, even source but just look at how many teams are playing the less than one year old CoD2 in CAL Open versus the 7 year old game of counterstrike:

Matches Played last week in CAL:

Counterstrike CAL - Open 1162
CoD2 CAL - Open 114

Over 10 times as many CS matches.

The third strike against CoD2 competitively is no CoDTV. I am the guy who made PAM and CoDTV. I got PAM used by CAL, by TWL, by GGL, and by Clanbase. I worked with the clanbase admins to get them to use it for CoD.

I love CoD - but CoD2 pc left a sour taste in my mouth from the start. With CoD1 Activision (hellchick) really pushed to get CoD into big tournaments and helped with CoDTV and PAM. They had meetings with CPL etc to get CoD there. Now they can't even spend 5 minutes to copy the code needed for CoDTV from CoD1 and paste it into CoD2.

A note about tournament money - just because a game has lots of tournament money doesn't mean its any good - take painkiller. CPL threw $1 million at it so it had the most prize money in 2004.

$78 - The amount of money Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager earned for every minute he played in PainKiller tournaments. The Dutchman collected his winnings competing at ESWC 2004, CPL Summer 2004, CPL Winter 2004 and all the CPL World Tour events. In total, Vo0 won $259,000 and played 3285 minutes of official games, including overtimes."

Awe what the heck - check out team winnings thru July 2006 for this year. I don't see any CoD teams on it - Starcraft, CS, and 1 from Guildwars.

GGL TEAM LEADERBOARD, July 2006

$100,000 SK Telecom T1 (Korea, BW) [=]
$98,000 compLexity (USA, CS) [+1]
$85,420 Fnatic (Sweden, CS) [+3]
$75,340 aTTax (Germany, CS) [NEW]
$70,000 wNv (China, CS) [-3]
$59,823 Made in Brazil (Brazil, CS) [NEW]
$50,000 The Last Pride [EvIL] (Korea, GW) [NEW]
$48,360 Mousesports (Germany, CS) [-4]
$44,750 Team 3D (USA, CS) [NEW]
$26,300 x6tence (Spain, CS) [-2]
You also realize that these teams all have major sponsors like Intel and Nvidia that pay them monthly. IE some sponsers pay their teams $10,000 a month USD. I am not aware of any CoD2 teams getting major sponsorship.

Lets get some things straight here, first of all all those games you listed BB1 I really dislike, go play mohaa pacific assault and see how the mp is there, farcry, on and on and do some true comparisons. There is a reason why a moh pacific assaultboards.com doesnt exist.

My point is, all of their cool interactive admins have failed me and not produced a game I like.

The "crappy admins" at IW gave me all I needed, couple new maps and PB.

I honestly hope you guys dont sit here and defend EA's mohaa people, producing ****ty game after ****ty game since allied assault.

How many patches did we get? 1.

One damn patch with bugs leaving the public to crash servers with a simple console command.

Once again, the game looks no different to me if it had a BILLION servers full, as long as there are good admin'd servers out there and there isnt 0 people playing, many teams out there seem to enjoy cod2, many teams out there spend 6 days a week practicing for CAL and CEVO leagues.

And yes, COD2 has not pulled in high #'s of sponsorship money compared to CS and such forth and that isn't COD's fault, that is because tournaments such as CPL are geared towards CPL games where teams can win even bigger cash amounts and exposure..why bother investing on lack of exposure? Trust me...an extra couple of filled servers aint getting nobody here that 10k a month or what not.

And last..but not least...facts facts facts are all that are posted by people when the question at hand is personal opinion..which will vary. Respecting opinons is what keeps people reasonable and my point will never chage, my preferance is cod2 over uo, maybe bb1 is uo over cod2.

I've seen people call others fools for "pissing your money down if you think cod4 will be good becuase iwn this and that" and honestly I think I speak for every cod2 fan out there when I say..oh christ already shut up and go play a non iwn game and rather then burning the development team you hate so much, pick a new game and glorify allllll those good ones you guys listed.

First off, I'm not referring to MoH:Allied Assault, but the forthcoming MoH:Airborne. I don't disagree that service in the past on that game was bad (who worked on it, shall I say the IW team?) I'm referring to what they are doing now!

One damn patch with bugs leaving the public to crash servers with a simple console command.

Did you know that that STILL exists in CoD2?

As for your last paragraph, you're right, people shouldn't insult those that have bought the game. People will make their own minds up on wether they like the game or not, but the point is, those that fight to get it improved, do so out of a love for the game and if they succeed everybody wins. It's not a question of people hating the game, it's more a question of being able to see what the game is capable of and trying to get the developers to do something about it. I know shouting may not be the answer, BUT nor is the polite method, that was tried - extensively and they didn't, wouldn't or could not listen. By creating a ruckass, things have happened, just not as much as would be appreciated.

I'd hazard a guess its not what you are trying, ever so desperately, to say but how you are saying it that is creating all the fuss. You post "lets get something straight" as if you have the only hallowed and totally perfect information. We both know that ain't so. Then you, in closing, invoke a deity as if to lend credibility to your plea to have people "shut-up", "go away", stop picking on a sacred cow (IW not IWN) and then you go on to ridicule user loyalties.

In all truthfulness, Infinity Ward lied to the users (a brand new engine), used pre 1.3 CoD1 as a foundation for CoD2 and then stupidly left all the subsequently fixed bugs & errors in CoD1 in CoD2 to be experienced all over again!! If this development team is your choice that's wonderful.... have fun. Its not mine although at one time I spent all my energies and a considerable sum supporting them and their products. I grew weary of being jerked around by them. I HAVE moved on and now support, very energetically I respectfully might add, Red Orchestra and its great and highly supportive developer, Tripwire.

But... please understand, it was my choice in doing so. Nobody jumping up and down telling me or anyone else to "shut-up", "go away" or any other some-such immature non-sense brought about my decision. It was a decision made out of careful aforethought and deliberation.

In reality, "let's get something straight".... Life is all about choices, freedoms, liberties and of course, respect of each other. While I might not care for your choices, I respect your decisions in making those choices. Choices you will have to live with until you change your mind. Conversely, you must respect the choices of others and their reasons for making their choices.

After all, It really is all about respecting each other.

Amped has posted some news concerning Call of Duty 4, which they have claimed to receive from a source close to Infinity Ward.
A reliable source close to the Call of Duty development teams has revealed not only the existence of Call of Duty 4, but vital details surrounding the game as well, including the fact that it will be based on modern combat.

According to our source, Call of Duty 4 will be developed by Infinity Ward, the developer behind the first and second installments. The three-way deal established between Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Activision states that Infinity Ward will develop all even numbered titles while Treyarch develops the odd numbered games, such as Call of Duty 3. Treyarch did develop Call of Duty 2: Big Red One as well, however.

As aforementioned, Call of Duty 4 is said to step away from the war torn locales of World War II, instead focusing on the battlefields of present day. It is unknown if it will take the same path as Electronic Arts’ Battlefield franchise, placing the spotlight on the Middle East.

The source compared Call of Duty 4’s technical achievements to other games saying that while most shooters have two or three critical points on the head, Call of Duty 4 has 16, saying that you can shoot the side of an opponent’s helmet to make it spin on their head, or knock the helmet clean off. Supposedly you will even be able to shoot an enemy’s ear off.

Although Call of Duty’s single player has always been a mainstay of the franchise, the multiplayer is certainly something to write home about. Our source has said that there have been multiplayer bouts with 54 players. PC gamers will be happy to know that they will be able to join the action once again, as Infinity Ward is supposed to be bringing Call of Duty 4 to the PC as well as consoles. Call of Duty 3 is only available on consoles and eventually the PSP.

Activision press representatives were unavailable to confirm or deny these reports; however, Amped IGO will continue attempts to gain verification
