op Neowin.net word wat gezegd over Call of Duty 4.
Er stond een interessant stukje bij, over de realisme van het spel
Quote:
The source compared Call of Duty 4?s technical achievements to other games saying that while most shooters have two or three critical points on the head, Call of Duty 4 has 16, saying that you can shoot the side of an opponent?s helmet to make it spin on their head, or knock the helmet clean off. Supposedly you will even be able to shoot an enemy?s ear off.
Dit betekend dus dat de realiteitsniveau beter zal zijn dan in de voorgaande Call of Duty series, wat namens mijn mening heel erg goed is.
* Vastly increased speed of taking screenshots (Scroll Lock + S while playing a game).
* Added a sound when you take a screenshot in game.
* Added the capability for us to send system messages to users. We plan to use this to warn everyone about system restarts and updates.
* Added kill/death statistics to Quake 4; they are automatically added to your profile page.
* Increased the maximum number of favorite servers you can save to 100.
* Changed the tray icon and tooltip to indicate when you are not connected to Xfire.
* Fixed display problem in the Tools | Manage Screenshots dialog when you take screenshots while playing a game in a window.
* Improved the user interface while downloading Xfire updates (you will see this when version 1.70 is released).
* Added the ability to associate favorite games with your clan or guild (*beta*).
* Fixed game detection of Silkroad Online and Lineage II.
* New games supported: Titan Quest Immortal Throne, Supreme Commander Beta, Goonzu Online, 25 to Life, Battlestations Midway, Bad Day LA, Let's Ride! - Silver Buckle Stables, and James Bond 007 Nightfire.
Nieuwe games zijn erbij gekomen, zoals bij elke update. Overigens zijn er ook detectie problemen verholpen bij Lineage II en Silkroad Online.
Ook krijg je nu een geluidje als je een screenshot neemt.
Gamespot gaat een tournament organiseren voor CoD3 genaamd, "Normandy Breakout." Dit is wat ze erover zeggen:
Quote:
The Normandy Breakout Tournament will include eight teams, each comprising eight players competing in War Mode. Each match will pit two teams against one another, with the winning team advancing to the next round. The leaders of the final two teams will be flown to GameSpot's studios in San Francisco to compete in the final round, which will be broadcast live on GameSpot Tournament TV. The winner of the finals will take away a package of prizes valued at $1,000.
Als jij dus CoD3 speelt, is dit dus h?t tournament waaraan je moet meedoen.
Schrijf je dus nu in op Gamespot.com

CHANGES/ADDITIONS:
* Codebase ported to use United Offensive.
* Maps that support the UO "Domination" gametype are usable within the HoB gametype.
* The sprinting added by HoB in v1.0 has been removed and replaced with sprinting built into UO.
* The grenade priming added by HoB has been removed and replaced with the grenade priming built into UO.
* UO provided vehicles can be used.
* Player HUD reworked to support vehicles, stance indicator, remove HoB stamina bar, etc.
* The M1A1 Carbine has been added to the British arsenal for gameplay balance reasons. The M1A1 Carbine was chosen as the Special Air Service (SAS) started using the M1A1 in 1943 and it was therefore considered the most historically accurate option.
* UO provided light machine guns added to the support gun category.
* Most new UO provided weapons used:
o Crosshairs removed from all non-vehicle mounted weapons.
o HoB Russian SVT40 retained.
o HoB American BAR retained with the ability to deploy by changing weapon modes in a deployable spot (indicator appears in lower right).
