 Full story: Treyarch?s Call of Duty 3 has only been in stores for little over a week but fresh details for the sequel are already leaking in. We already knew that the next installment in the franchise was under development by Infinity Ward, the developers of the first two Call of Duty games. However, Amped IGO received some fresh new bits of info from a source close to IW.
Call of Duty 3
First of, Amped IGO breaks the news that Call of Duty 4 is breaking away from the World War II time frame of the first 3 games. Call of Duty 4 will bring the hectic war experience from the first games to a present day setting, although it?s unknown where CoD4 would be set exactly.
The source hints at a setting in the middle-east.
Amped IGO also reports on some interesting technical achievements. Their source reports that the hitpoints have been massively increased.
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.
Sounds good right? Well chances are you can shoot off ears in 54 player multiplayer matches. IW has been testing with 54 players online although the final number could end up lower because we?ve had more than enough lag issues with the earlier games in the franchise.
To top it all off IGO debunks a previous rumor that CoD4 would skip consoles this time around. Unlike Call of Duty 3, CoD4 is set for PC and consoles.
Activision declined to confirm or deny these rumors when Amped IGO asked them to but they all sound pretty plausible. Check back here for more CoD4 info as it comes in.
