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.

AWSOME! maybe theyll add center channel support in the audio

That's a pretty hefty list of features. Like you said, it will be interesting to find out how many, if any, features that they have promised are toned down or scrapped completely. I personally think the part about planting bombs sounds REALLY cool, but I could go either way about the online part. CoD online has always seemed a little... arcade-y in a sense. This takes it more into the sim realm. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing, though, but I guess only time will tell...

Well... don't be THAT positive.
Pretty much every game SOUNDS good on PAPER. That's what advertising and PR are for, right?
As soon as you see some vids or get your hands on a demo you should choose... don't choose so long in advance!

i just wish a console ww2 game would stack up to the first medal of honour on pc, man i loved that multiplayer... how i long for a nite of destroyed city

gordita37 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 15, 2006, 10:54:00 PM »

Well I loved COD2 so I was most likely going to get COD3 anyways. Plus I think ive seen a couple videos around places

ILLusions0fGrander · « **Reply #7 on:** June 16, 2006, 01:16:00 AM »

those are really drastic changes... one of the best FPS around period.

i will be in line for CoD3 for sure.

Keep MP simple like it is currently for CoD2 (or at least leave the option there), because CoD2 is one of the best online fps experiences i've had, and just adding improved graphics (physics, animation, etc.) would be good enough for me.

Ya, I hope they keep the simple way of just choosing a gun instead of a class. The smoke effects are really what im looking foward to seeing if they can pull that off.

Amen... I haven't the slightest why every game nowadays thinks it has to put some type of rank up character leveling system... I'll wait for huxley if I want that... just keep it simple like Foe-Hammer said... I really hope it doesn't ruin the fun that CoD2 has been bringing me

I really like the concept of flattening the grass, that sounds like it will add a another dimension to multiplayer.

They'll prolly take that out for MP just to "keep it smooth"... I so long for the knee slide in GRAW MP... but it is a different company so they may not take it out... I hoping they don't... would be sweet to see a trail through tall grass and you would know someone's been that way or is hiding close by
