ttention soldiers! Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq:
ATVI) and acclaimed developer Infinity Ward are
back in action with Call of Duty 2TM,
an all new epic title which delivers an
unparalleled portrayal of the chaos and
intensity that was World War II. The sequel to
the award-winning Call of DutyTM,
Call of Duty 2 is powered by a proprietary new
engine featuring striking new visuals, advanced
A.I. technology, the most realistic squad combat
and explosive action in new historic campaigns.
The title is scheduled for release this Autumn
and has not yet been rated.
Call of Duty 2 lets players experience four
individual soldier stories as they overcome
insurmountable odds in multiple campaigns.
Players have the freedom to follow each of the
four storylines through for the ultimate
character-driven experience, or they can engage
in the historic battles chronologically for
quick hitting action.
Infinity Ward, creator of the blockbuster,
original Call of Duty, has also expanded the
scope of combat to deliver a truly realistic
battlefield experience. Squads now have the
freedom to take on a variety of mission
objectives, on expansive battlefields that allow
for multiple paths and the ability to utilize
actual combat tactics like outflanking and fire
and maneuver capabilities.
Call of Duty 2's new engine and A.I. technology
set the stage for authentic squad combat and
astonishing action. Concealment can be key as
battlefield smoke or even deployed smoke
grenades cloud visibility. Weather effects such
as the dusty sandstorms of North Africa and
whiteout blizzard conditions of Russia, for
example, will keep soldiers glued to their
bunkers. The team has also employed a
state-of-the-art Battle Chatter System that
brings the action to life as squad-mates bark
out context-sensitive updates in real-time to
players through an advanced A.I. system.
"Our team at Infinity Ward is committed to
thrusting gamers into the heat of battle like no
other, taking players on a thrill-ride of
adrenaline that leaves everyone gasping for
air," states Grant Collier, president, Infinity
Ward. "In Call of Duty 2, we are creating the
most intense and realistic action game
imaginable with a stunning visual atmosphere and
an advanced technology that delivers an
unprecedented level of authenticity."
