There are several ways to get your game previewed by the press. You send out a preview copy, you invite people over to the publisher’s offices, you might even throw a party in some nightclub. Not Activision. Late August, they invited a group of international journalists to join them in Poland for an extensive look at Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. I certainly found it to be a great way to mix drinking vodka with playing one of the better action games you’ll see released this holiday season.
Being in Poland allowed us to see the game, and also visit some actual bunkers from World War 2. Living in the Netherlands I’m not all that unfamiliar with relics from the war, but it was still impressive to see. The three day trip also involved riding an amphibious vehicle, getting on one of these planes, and as I mentioned quite a bit of drinking.
