Got to go into the inner bowels of Coke's Heritage (archives) section today, a place that few Coke employees get to see. WooHoo! One of the many fantastic things we experienced in our first day with Coke.
The newest edition of Activision's award-winning video game franchise released November 11th, Veterans Day, taking players to beaches of the Pacific and the streets of Europe for what the maker describes as "the most intense and grittiest WWII experience to date".
"Our goal from Day 1 has been to make sure that Call of Duty: World at War re-defines players' expectations of World War II first-person action," said Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia. "From cooperative gameplay to a multiplayer that combines vehicle and squad combat, along with a host of new weapons, settings and enemies, we've left no stone unturned to make this the best experience possible."
Troops from around the world will be among the first to play one of this year's most-anticipated new video games, Call of Duty: World at War. Pro vs. GI Joe, the USO, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are teaming up with Activision Publishing for a series of online matches featuring Active Duty troops stationed around the world. Coinciding with Tuesday's launch, Pro vs. GI Joe will match members of the famed gridiron against U.S. troops serving in Germany, Japan, Kuwait and a fourth undisclosed overseas base. Participating troops will also link-up via webcam and members of their families will be on-hand to share in the moment.
Pro vs. GI Joe is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that sets up real-time video game competitions between professional athletes in the states and troops stationed all over the world via the internet. Working with AirTran Airways, Pro vs. GI Joe transports the troops' families to the gaming venue so that they may reunite via web cam with their loved ones serving overseas. Founded in June 2007 and based in Fairfax, Va, Pro vs. GI Joe aims to boost the morale of our military men and women in truly unique and exciting ways.
Call of Duty: World at War is rated "M" (Mature) by the ESRB for Intense Violence, Strong Language, Blood and Gore and is available on Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment systems.
