Santa Monica, CA (November 16, 2004) - Activision today announced the

the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube.
"An all-new experience for the consoles, Call of Duty: Finest Hour is an

battles as they head for the final assault on Germany," said Kathy Vrabeck,
President, Activision Publishing. "By marrying advanced technology with the

Giacchino, veteran writer/producer Michael Schiffer and rock-and-roll superstar
Brian Johnson, we're able to deliver a completely unique experience that is
unrivaled in its realism and intensity."
From Activision:
Call of Duty: Finest Hour thrusts new recruits and hardened soldiers alike
into a gripping, movie-like WWII combat experience played out at the height of
the war through three Allied campaigns - Russian, British and American. Gamers
are immersed in the unfolding drama as they take on the roles of six brave
soldiers fighting to survive grueling and intense battles, from the steps of
Russia's famed Red Square to the harsh deserts of North Africa and onto the
final and ultimate goal of Germany itself. Mixing exciting vehicle-based action
with an array of intense infantry missions, players step into the boots of such
outfits as Britain's Popski's Private Army as well as Gen. Patton's famed Third
Army 761st "Black Panther" Tank Battalion.
The title features authentic sights and sounds, scores of soldiers and
incredible special effects that engulf players into the thrilling single-player
action. With four modes of play and new maps, Finest Hour also delivers
heart-stopping team-based online multiplayer combat for up to 16 players on the
PS2 and Xbox. Xbox owners can also enjoy full Xbox-Live support as well as
system link gameplay.
