Call of Duty 2 vs The Military Channel

[Evil Avatar]

Activision sends along a Press Release announcing that they have teamed up with the Military Channel to bring real life WWII content to the upcoming PC and console titles, Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One.

In a move that will add even greater authenticity to the best-selling Call of Duty brand, Activision, Inc. announced today that it has signed a deal with the Military Channel to produce a series of historical vignettes that will be featured in the company’s upcoming World War II-themed games Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. As a part of the agreement, the Military Channel will also air a half-hour special on The Big Red One, America’s most decorated fighting unit, and the making of the highly anticipated first-person-action game, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. ”The Big Red One: Behind the Game” will premiere November 1 at 9:00 pm/EST on the Military Channel.

Call of Duty 2 is scheduled for release this fall for Windows PC and the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft; Call of Duty 2: Big Red One is also slated for release this fall for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox video game system from Microsoft and Nintendo GameCube™. Both games are currently rated “T” for “Teen” by the ESRB.

[Deadend]

How is realistic warfare rated T?

[Orphiuchus]

Is the militairy channel related to the history channel? Because if it is I'm calling cox like, now, to get it.

That's cool.

I was bummed when I learned the Wings Channel was being replaced a year ago on my satellite service, but then I perked up when I found out the replacement was going to be the Military Channel. =)

[Rifter]

My understanding was that Wings turned into Military... hence the VERY large number of wings shows, still up every week. :-) I actually like the new direction, quite a bit.

It's called The History Channel.

Add more realism?

How about being shot fucking kills you, and there aren't goddamn 'health packs' lying around.

[Lint of Death]

The Big Red One is an amazing movie.

[Bushido]

exploiting actual warfootage sounds exciting, heck why not show the awesome genocide of millions and throw in some dead babies for good measure.Footage like that would really add the realism.

[Xerxes]

I mean can we finally call it quits with the ww2 games...

The Military Channel is a Discovery owned channel, like TLC or Animal Planet. The History Channel is a A&E channel if I remember correctly.

What a load of shit. CoD series is NOT realistic.

NO health packs, and you die from the same number of bullets as your enemies do. It's not "realistic" in all aspects, of course, but enough so to answer your accusation.

No it isn't.. CoD isn't realistic like quake isn't realistic. Neither of those two things make it realistic, just 'slightly less like quake'
