Call of Duty 3 dated

By Tom Bramwell Published 16 October, 2006

On 360, PS2, Wii and PS3.

Activision has announced UK release dates for Call of Duty 3.

The Xbox 360 version will be arrive in stores on 10th November, the publisher says, while the PlayStation 2 version is due out on 24th November.

Interestingly, Activision is quoting 1st December for the Nintendo Wii version, although the console itself isn't due out in Europe until 8th December.

As for the PlayStation 3 version, that's going to follow along with the console next March (or, you know, whenever).

Call of Duty 3, of course, is being developed by Treyarch and aims to combine more of the series' historical accuracy and reverence for the subject matter with its similarly trademark cinematic intensity. You can read more about how the developer's bringing these apparently conflicting elements together in our recent hands-on with the game.

    360 titles were on sale up to 4 weeks in advance of the console being released - nothing new there !

    Cant wait for CoD3 - CoD2 is the only reason I use Live! these days..

    thats cos they are bullshiting twats.....sony that is.

  • rhinoxious #8 5 years ago

    So that's one week to play COD3, then GOW comes out.

    Live will be a busy place this winter,

    maybe the fanboys will lay off the consoles for a while and have a my shooter is better then yours argument instead.

  • coojam #9 5 years ago

    Not to mention that, rather foolishly, Rainbow Six Vegas is out on the same damn day as Gears...

  • t8yman #10 5 years ago

    I think R6V will move TBH, cod3 has been provisionally dated 17th nov for AGES, and I reckon they brought it forward a week because of gears. Which makes me happy, because we get cod3 the same day as the yanks.

    "maybe the fanboys will lay off the consoles for a while and have a my shooter is better then yours argument instead."

    Right. Score one to MS then?

    Jibe aside: this coming month looks out of this world! GOW, R6Vegas, SSDoubleAgent, FEAR, COD3.

    I care more about somehow getting one over on people who won't like the same things as me than being excited by a decent looking new game.

  • Tiiti #13 5 years ago

    Hmm same date as F.E.A.R

  • Tricky #14 5 years ago

    Shiiiiit. Thank christ I'm getting a pay raise next month \o/

  • Xerx3s #15 5 years ago

    Wait released less than a year later? Are they trying to pull an EA and release mediocre crap games with just an increment every year? :\

    Not to mention that, rather foolishly, Rainbow Six Vegas is out on the same damn day as Gears...

    You are joking? FFS! That means that I will have to buy them both. >:\ That vid that they released a couple of days ago about the online customisation got me totally hooked.

    Who is going to buy the XBL cam for RB6 btw?

  • Jmek #16 5 years ago

    The 10th?!!!

    My god that's less than four weeks away.

    Based on my calculations I should get my 360 back just in time from the repair centre.

    That is if DHL ever turn up to pick the damned thing up...

    Suddenly feels depressed.

  • ChromeMud #17 5 years ago

    @Jmek
    Don't worry about it.My PS3 melted my whole hifi rack,blew
    up my TV and infected my PC with spyware.
    Sony said it was my problem that it wasn't stored in a cool
    place but it doesn't matter as I'm rich and I'll just buy another
    one anyway!
    Ken is my uncle so don't tell me I'm BS!

  • BadDevotions #18 5 years ago

    lol @chromemud

    man, this is gonna be a v.expensive month. I was looking to buy a new video card for the pc too. I guess I'll have to wait *sighs*

    /off to rob a bank

  • Roamer #19 5 years ago

    Oh, more FPS-style games for next-gen consoles? Glee....

  • Lex_Luthor #20 5 years ago

    Chromemud, what does the PS3 have to do with anything in jmek's post exactly?

  • Xerx3s #21 5 years ago

    /off to rob a bank

    Wait your turn and take a number please. ;)

  • Talha #22 5 years ago

    They are doing a PS2 and a Wii version and not a PC version? The mind boggles at the injustice of it all.

  • CitizenGeek #23 5 years ago

    "ohh look another cheap joke at sony's expense..."

    I agree witht he rest of the people, Sony have only themselves to blame. I want a PS3 but Sony are making it awful hard on me...

  • Hicksy #24 5 years ago

    No PC Version? :(

    Maybe next year?

  • neosalad #25 5 years ago

    i hope activision stick with their no region protection policy with CoD3, got my pre-order in with play-asia.. COD3 for £22-£23 including p+p isnt bad at all.

  • UncleLou #26 5 years ago

    No PC Version? :(

    Maybe next year?

    Looks unlikely, afaik - mind, CoD 3 has been outsourced to Treyarch, while Infinity Ward themselves are allegedly working on a new (non-WWII) PC game.

  • t8yman #27 5 years ago

    Im sure I read that IW are working on middle east based cod4?

  • BadDevotions #28 5 years ago

    I think EG needs to update thier release date list. COD3 is not listed as the 10th and I can't see FEAR either... unless I need my specs that is.
