In a press release issued today, Activision released a few details about the game, scheduled for a fall release on PCs and the vaguely put "consoles." Infinity Ward has created a new game engine that will improve graphics, artificial intelligence, and realism.
Call of Duty 2 follows the storylines of four different soldiers, detailing their adventures in WWII. The game will feature squad-based combat, as well as multiple mission objectives and paths to complete them. The game will also beef up the tactical portion of the game, forcing gamers to use flanking and fire-and-move maneuvers, in addition to employing smoke grenades for concealment. Call of Duty 2 will also feature a "battle chatter system," which will let squadmates shout context-sensitive comments during gameplay.
