On July 4th you can visit http://cod3.1up.com to check out exclusive screen shots and in game video.

Leaps over CoD2:

In game system has been rebuilt
Characters move more realistically.
more textures and shaders in the environment
No more boarded up windows so now you can see the turn up landscape all around you.
foliage remains flattened when you walk over (you can track people now, until it is real destroyed)
Grenades leave real scorched earth.
Surfaces react to bullets like they should, grass is different from steel, steel is different from wood, and wood is different from water.
More than 24 characters on screen at one time.
Destructable cover
Global winds affect smoke grenades.
Now, when a tabk moves through smoke grenades the somke will curl around it.
Bullets through smoke with stream out the other side moving the smoke.
Trees and grass will move with the wind
Things change:

You actually have to go through the actions of planting a bomb instead of holding A.
You have to row a boat while still trying to shoot you way to freedom.
Hand to hand combat compared to the way Condemed works.
CoD3 campaign takes place during the real campaign called Normandy Breakout. This is after D-day when the troops are moving inland to move the Germans back and liberate Paris.

Load times are bring erased between levels.
Play as Americans, British, Polish Resistance, and the Canadian army (giggles and food should love that).
Example: When you are fighting with the British you will fight along side the French resistance.
Multiplayer

24 online
Single or Splitscreen (here are your guest).
Players choose their class ranging from medic to sniper.
Each ability as you earn points in rank.
Ex. A scout at first can only call in a couple artillery barages. As they gain ability they will be able to call in a broken arrow (I added that for you Vietnam and "When we Were Soldiers" guys)
Online leaderboards track stats and rankings by specialty.
New Multiplayer mode called War.
Axis and Allied teams battling for strategic locations.
And of course vehicles.

i seen the demo video and if the gameis half of that it will be brilliant

and it will be more like a next gen game then anything out there

call of duty 2 is still a brill game the best on the 360

that is why most people bought the xbox 360 and i would have to say i think more people will buy it for this game

ps3 will have some battle on there hands

as there has been some problems with it so far

and gta was takan by xbox for the first release

but i would still say the ps2 would cream the xbox 360 even though i love it
