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.
Someone call Activision and let 'em know that 720p means 1280x720, please. Games-Aktuell, a German gaming outlet, has discovered that Call of Duty 3 and Tony Hawk's Project 8 are not running at a 720p high-def resolution.
Last week Call of Duty 3 has hit the stores for the Xbox 360 and the game has been received pretty well. There are some problems though on the online side, but don't worry, Infinite Ward told us on the official Xbox Forums that it's working hard to release a patch for all problems. They also give you some tips... read on for the whole post.
Sony won't tell us, mostly because they don't want to make any promises that aren't 100 percent confirmed, but here's the list of what Playstation 3 games will be available at Best Buy and when:
Exclusive details on the 14 single player levels in Call of Duty 3!
Before going into mission details, a few words about how the game is looking and indeed sounding. COD3 on Xbox 360 is a huge leap technically over last year's excellent next-gen debut. Starting with your allies and enemies all freshly presented in silly detail, thanks to some new-fangled NASA scanning technology. We'd read all about this, but 'in the flesh' the soldiers look plenty more realistic in clothing that now hangs convincingly like heavy combat gear. In the "Night Drop" level it was pouring with rain too, so all the uniforms looked clingy and wet. You could feel the chill, adding to the misery of what lay ahead.
Activision has informed us that new Call of Duty 3 downloadable content is available on the Xbox Live Marketplace. There you'll find new sets of gamer pics, including flags of the Allied Forces, heroes of the various armies/campaigns and the game's authentic weapons.
Show off your national pride, your historical inclinations, or your love of spending by purchasing a theme or picture pack for Activision's Call of Duty 3.
