'Call of Duty' as media product is about as big as it gets, but today, the blockbluster fps takes on its biggest target, the Chinese market. Launching today in open beta, 'Call of Duty Online' has been developed by one of Activision's veteran studios, Raven Software. The game offers a free-to-play experience, and players must "purchase or rent in-game items." For that, players have access to "Hero Ops single-player campaign missions, Survival Mode cooperative experiences, Call of Duty multiplayer and the newly created Cyborgs (PVE modes exclusive to the Chinese market in Call of Duty Online).
'Call of Duty Online' is backed by a partnership between Activision and one of China's leading internet service provider, Tencent.
To go along with the new game, Turtle Beach has unveiled a special Call of Duty Online headset.
The Call of Duty Online headset is ready for PCs and Macs via USB and mobile devices via 3.5mm. When used with USB, the headset has in-line mic and master volume controls.
Similar to other current Turtle Beach stereo headset designs, the Call of Duty Online headset sports 50mm drivers and a removable boom mic.
