Call of Duty 3 First Look: Battle Through France Published by forahobby on Tuesday, July 11, 2006
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,
Activision and Spidey house Treyarch prove that there are still World War II battles yet to be fought on the video game screen, as gamespot got their first look at this imposing shooter sequel.
Late last year, Call of Duty 2 emerged as one of the most accomplished launch titles on the Xbox 360--but then again, it was no slouch on the PC either. But less than a year later, how is it that Activision is already prepping a third entry in the wildly popular World War II series for release this fall? It did it by shifting production from series creator Infinity Ward to Treyarch, the LA-based development house that Spider-Man built, and a company that already cut its teeth on the Call of Duty franchise with the console-only Big Red One.
 But what we've seen so far of Call of Duty 3 indicates its scope will far exceed that of Treyarch's previous effort with Big Red One. So many World War II games have focused on the famous D-Day landing at Normandy, but few (if any) have ever examined the weeks-long campaign that followed as the Allies pushed their way deeper into France in an attempt to strike at the heart of Hitler's empire. COD3's single-player campaign will center on this lengthy and complex military action, a collaboration between American, British, Canadian, and Polish forces--and of course, you'll get to play as members of all four throughout the game.
The basic action in Call of Duty 3 will naturally fall in line with what you've seen in past games--you'll run and gun your way through missions set in a variety of European locales, and the story will jump from one group of soldiers to the next as you take on different roles and complete objectives that will advance the Allied cause.
 In the demo mission we saw, American forces were moving into the nearly obliterated French village of Saint Lo, storming a hill covered with ruined buildings occupied by German soldiers. It was obvious from this short demo that the scale of COD3's levels has been significantly expanded over those of the last game--the battlefield was wider and more active than before, with a greater number of friendly troops rushing in on all sides of the player. In fact, in addition to a simple variety of paths, Treyarch says it wants to give players multiple ways to address a particular situation. So, for example, in one mission, you might be tasked with neutralizing a machine-gun nest, so you'll be able to either snipe, use explosives, or choose trench warfare to complete this task. The choice will presumably be at the player's discretion.
