COD:Vietnam

Activision have announced it's due in November. Will be made by Treyarch though as opposed to Infinity Ward

News: Call Of Duty 7 release date - November - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

CVG can confirm that Activision has pencilled in a November release for the seventh Call Of Duty - which will be set in the late 1960s, during the Vietnam War.

Following this week's rumours, a senior UK trade source today told us that the Treyarch-developed title is scheduled to arrive a full 12 months after last year's Modern Warfare 2.

They added that the game would be set during the Vietnam conflict - and takes particular influence from classic movies Apocalypse Now and Platoon.

"It's going to be November again - just as with World At War and Modern Warfare 2," they told CVG.

"Activision believes that it can own Christmas 2010, just as it has in the last two years.

"Development is on course - and Treyarch have been told the game must be ready to hit shelves before the gifting season."

Activision declined to comment when contacted by CVG.

I wish they would give a much longer single player adventure.

 

[Topblue]

Have to agree with BB flew through the game on easy mode.

Yeh definately agree with that, the single player stuff is great but is far too short, nevertheless I think this will be on my purchase list to eat away hours of my "social" life

This will be not that good as it's not infinity ward. It'll be a similar standard to COD5:world at war. Just a filler game for 2010 while they make MF3.

Treyarch is a subsiduary of Activison is it not?
Didn't they sort the ports ( what ever that means these days ) for Cod 4?

Treyarch are very much my arse.

What engine are they using MG?

 

[Goat]

A crap one.

Cod3, Cod5 and now Cod7, all totally cocked up. All made by Tryarse.

I wish someone would hurry up and make Half Life 3.
Sorry if it's a bit off topic, but isn't worth a thread of it's own.

Don't Expect Half-Life 3
Turns out, the Half-Life 2 Episodes are part three.

June 6, 2006 - In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Valve revealed that the just-released Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and the forthcoming Episodes 2 and 3 will serve as the third game in the series. Rather than make gamers wait another six-plus years for Half-Life 3, the developer thought people might appreciate playing the game in smaller chunks if they didn't have to wait as long.

"The original Half-Life took us two years to develop," said Gabe Newell, managing director, Valve. "With a considerably larger team Half-Life 2 took us six years to develop, so we thought if we were going to continue our trend with Half-Life 3 we would basically ship after we had all retired. We're trying to come up with a better way of getting more timely updates to our customers and also come up with something that didn't have the complexities. Projects increased logarithmically with how much we tried to do, so if you tried to put twice as much content or technology into a box it ends up taking you four times the amount of work, right, and so we're trying to figure out a better solution."

As for why the name of the episodes were changed from their original codename Aftermath: "I think that Aftermath was almost a temporary name. I always thought of it as Episodes One through Three because that's how we planned the products out. I think people thought we'd need a name for them, and Aftermath ended up being more confusing than helpful. Probably a better name for it would have been Half Life 3: Episode One, but these three are what we're doing as our way of taking the next step forward..."

Throughout the interview, Newell refers to the episodes as Half-Life 3, and points out that they aren't considered expansions. Whereas Half-Life was about the G-man grooming Gordon Freeman to be a hero, and 2 was about how the G-man uses his creation, the episodes (Half-Life 3) focus more on the G-man and how he reacts when he loses control of Freeman.

Though Episodes 1-3 take place after the events of Half-Life 2, Newell doesn't rule out the possibility of returning to the Half-Life 2 timeline, though.

Finally, Newell also warned fans not to expect a Half-Life movie anytime soon, as he had some unkind words to say about the script treatments Hollywood has offered: "They all sucked!"

Half Life was great.

I've actually got the first Half Life, but never played it, as it looks a bit old. Might try and install it one day.

Timeshift, for me, is a game incredibly similar to Half Life 2, with a hint of Crysis too.

COD 5

COD 5 WaW was a much better game than people give credit for.. Most people didnt like it cuz the ancient weapons they were using.. Same thing will go for COD 7.. However, if you ask me MW2 is an awesome game with more Flaws than 4+5 put together.. Leaderboards is a big one.. Not to mention the Prestige 10 Glitch which ruined everything for me.. MAG might steal the show this year..
