Gaming News - March 2004
San Francisco, CA (March 23, 2004) - Activision and Infinity Ward have
released two new multiplayer maps for Call of Duty.
From Activision:
The new maps, titled Neuville and Bocage, bring even more multiplayer fun to
the popular game that has garnered more than 50 Editors' Choice Awards and 70
Game of the Year Awards worldwide since its release. The title has even captured
overall Game of the Year honors from two prestigious academies, the Academy of
Interactive Arts and Science (AIAS) and the British Academy of Film and
Television Arts (BAFTA). The update is currently available for download at
www.callofduty.com/patch.
Neuville - A small town in Normandy that's been reduced to rubble amidst
close combat between U.S. Airborne units and battle-hardened Waffen SS troops.
The town's demolished landscape provides an abundant spread of attacking and
flanking positions, forcing both Allied and Axis teams to keep on their toes as
they fight for possession. In order to succeed, squad members will have to take
cover behind the various piles of rubble and in massive, deep shell craters
located throughout the town.
Bocage - Located between the Orne and Vire rivers in Normandy lay 50 miles of
small fields, overgrown with shrubbery and surrounded by high earthen banks.
Each field is a natural deathtrap, sporting limited visibility and great
defensive terrain with bushes that provide cover from air and ground
reconnaissance. Both squads will be hard-tested to their fullest when the
attacks come from every direction - take cover!
Gamers will be notified of the new update and prompted with download
instructions through Call of Duty's multiplayer update feature. The update
includes other enhancements, such as multiplayer server browser fixes, exploit
fixes and other play-balancing features. In addition, fans will be pleased to
know that Even Balance, Infinity Ward and Activision are hard at work, intently
integrating PunkBuster in an upcoming patch to be released as soon as possible.
