U.S. — Video game developer Activision announced what has quickly become its most anticipated release in years, with newest franchise installment Call Of Duty: Moderately Sloped Roof.
"The adrenaline is off the charts," said lead developer Kevin Masterson. "It's all the excitement and intensity you love about Call Of Duty, but now with a slight incline. It's insane."
According to sources, the campaign mode will follow Private Soap as he makes his way through the intense regimen of Secret Service training, then attempts to stop an assassination plot against the President. "This is the most difficult, extreme campaign we have ever made," said Masterson. "You have to literally crawl on your tummy up a slight slope and not fall down. Then, you have roughly twenty minutes to line up your shot. I'm light-headed just talking about it."
The game will feature new character options, including the opportunity to play as a five-foot tall woman who cannot wield a pistol. "It adds a whole new element to the game," said game tester Stephen Carson. "You can also outfit your character with brand new perks like 'enhanced sitting', where you are able to sit on a roof with ease. If you progress to level 50, you can even unlock an extension ladder to help get up and down off the roof. It's so exciting."
At publishing time, Activision had announced that the multiplayer platform would have an invincible "Trump" character that could be unlocked if your character survives having an ear blown off.
