Call of Duty is back, redefining war like you’ve never experienced before. Building on the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War immerses players into the most gritty and chaotic WWII combat ever experienced.

This has been a banner year for the first-person shooter on consoles. We've seen some brilliant shooters (''BioShock,'' ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''), some terrible ones (''Hour of Victory'') and plenty more that fell somewhere in between (yes, ''Halo 3'').

Activision, Inc. and Infinity Ward today announced the release of a robust Windows PC update for the hit sequel Call of Duty 2 that includes PunkBuster anti-cheat software, as well as two new, highly-anticipated multiplayer maps. The developer also plans to provide MOD tools in the coming weeks that will empower fans to create new single player missions and multiplayer maps.
