Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Developer Infinity Ward confirmed the shift of focus for the popular franchise with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare announced for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and triumphant return to PC.
Purists may bemoan the shift from WWII to a modern arena of war, but non-console owners will be happy to have COD back on PC.
Publisher Activision give us the details; “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the most intense, visceral title we've ever created," says Jason West, co-studio head and project lead, Infinity Ward. "The single player campaign is a well-paced, non-stop action experience. As the story unfolds, the player is introduced to new gameplay at every turn - one moment you are fast-roping from your Blackhawk helicopter after storming into the war zone with an armada of choppers, the next you are a sniper, under concealment, in a Ghillie suit miles behind enemy lines, the next you are engaging hostiles from an AC-130 gunship thousands of feet above the battlefield - get ready for the fight of a lifetime."
Mixed with explosive action, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare also delivers amazing special effects, including use of depth of field, rim-lighting, character self-shadowing, real time post-processing, texture streaming as well as physics-enabled effects to enlist players into the most photo-realistic gaming experience. Combined with Call of Duty's award-winning audio design, players will face war as never before.
In addition to single player, Infinity Ward has deployed a dedicated team from the start to deliver a new level of depth to multiplayer. Building on the hit Call of Duty 2 online experience, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's new multiplayer is set to provide the community an addictive and accessible experience to gamers of all levels.
Having conquered the WWII era with a formula that has proven successful, it will be interesting to see how this translates to the modern era. Looks like Infinity Ward are looking to grab some of EA’s Battlefield 2 crowd, who have not made the transition to Battlefield 2142.
