Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year Edition Hits Retail Shelves
Company: Activision
Date: 04 Apr 2008
Santa Monica, CA – April 4, 2008 – Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Infinity Ward are giving gamers a new offensive with the launch of the Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare™ Game of the Year Edition. The title allows gamers to experience the intense cinematic action of the original, award-winning and best-selling title, and includes a token for the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack, available now exclusively for download via Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
Exclusively available for Xbox 360 for the next 21 days, the map pack includes “Broadcast,” which features tight corridors and wide open parking lots where large groups utilize close-quarter fighting and strategic maneuvers; “Chinatown” where night battles well lit by the full moon play havoc against a backdrop of brightly colored lamps, antique shops and neon signs of the local district; “Killhouse,” a desolate warehouse under enemy attack where squads will need to move through building mock-ups and plywood walls in order to full take control of the combat arena; and “Creek,” A large wide open village in a heavily wooded area where battles are fought between high ridgelines and deep in underground caves.
To celebrate the launch of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year Edition and the Variety Map Pack, Xbox LIVE will host a Double XP Weekend. Starting on Friday, April 4 through Sunday, April 6, players can earn twice as many experience points as they play the new maps on the Variety Map Pack specific playlists.
Both the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year Edition and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack for Xbox 360 are available now in the United States. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is rated “M” (Mature) by the ESRB for Intense Violence, Strong Language, Blood and Gore.
