Call Of Duty: World At War
Ships In The UK is the press release announcing Treyarch's World War II
shooter sequel has arrived in the UK following its release in US,
reversing the order of entry of the two nations in the actual second world war:
"Call of Duty: World at War takes players to a grittier WWII than ever before –
from facing down Imperial Japanese Banzai charges and guerilla tactics in the
Pacific – to exacting ruthless revenge as you beat back the enemy all the way to
the steps of Berlin one bloody inch at a time. In addition to introducing
franchise-first four-person cooperative gameplay, Call of Duty: World at War
serves up a host of new enemies/tactics and a cache of weapons, like the
flamethrower. The highly-anticipated title also delivers deep multiplayer action
that features squad and vehicular combat, as well as a lush audio landscape set
in 5.1 surround sound, accompanying cinematically-intense, high-definition
graphics."
