Call of Duty 3 from Treyarch News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Tom Bramwell

7 May, 2006

Activision's added further credence to the suggestion that, while the next Call of Duty game will appear on consoles exclusively, series creator Infinity Ward will continue to produce games for the PC.

That's thanks to a pre-E3 announcement of Call of Duty 3 for next-generation consoles that identifies Treyarch as the game's developer.

"Through the eyes of four Allied soldiers, Call of Duty 3 brings players closer to the fury of combat as they fight through the Normandy Breakout, the harrowing offensive that liberated Paris and changed the fate of the world. Developed by Treyarch, Call of Duty 3 is the follow up to the #1 next-generation game and is scheduled for a 2006 release," Activision said in a statement.

The game's presumably on its way to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 primarily, though a Wii version isn't ruled out - with a Nintendo logo reportedly appearing on the end of a pre-E3 trailer.

All of which leaves Infinity Ward, currently maintaining the excellent PC/360 Call of Duty 2 with new map packs and mod support, free to create new games. Something which, given CoD's enormous success for Activision - it stomped all over Medal of Honour in the UK charts last year - seems assured.

And indeed all of this ties in with rumours earlier this year that Treyarch would be handling a World War II CoD game based on the Normandy Breakout while Infinity Ward worked on something else - at the time identified as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

Shame Treyarch.

From Die by the sword to handling a tiresome WW2 shooter.



See, what if you were to do a Die by the sword sequel for the Revolution... an amazing gorefilled bloodfest with senseless headchopping. What's wrong with that?

Die By the Sword, sweet memories. How you could create your own killer moves, it even worked with keyboard/mouse. Literally every other control scheme for third person hack 'n slashers felt a bit 'dated' after DBtS. Too bad Interplay is as good as dead since they still got the rights I think.

@disc: a tiresome WW2 shooter is MoH: Pacific/European Assault, an excellent WW2 shooter is CoD 1/2....but each unto his own.

Anyone else tend to follow the work of specific developers rather than the franchise/ brand name/ license? It doesn't matter to me that COD is going console exclusive because Infinity Ward aren't doing it anyway.

woops, typo

i agree with you beep. The franchise is nothing without the talent behind it.

Well I agree - after all, IW people broke away from EA to give us CoD. You know what, it is just like people behind Valve and Polyphony and Bungie - it is their individual touch that makes the game special.

Quite agree. Not too interested in Call of Duty developed by anyone other than Infinity Ward. Though of course, I'd be happy if Treyarch surprised us all.

I'm sure Infinity Ward aren't the only talented devs on the planet. A CoD game by someone else is simply an unknown, not a guaranteeed shit-tip.
