Now it is back and ready for the new decade. Millions of commanders already played First Strike all over the world. The combination of a paid download and further in-app purchases has been used by other high-profile iOS games – Infinity Blade most notably.Multiplayer mode! New nuclear superpower nations! And new superweapons! The iconic nuclear war game keeps expanding with new content. The in-app store sells tokens in various quantities, ranging from £1.49 for 1,000 to £69.99 for 70,000. Players earn XP for a range of activities within Call of Duty: Strike Team, and can then spend them on new weapons or perks – special abilities of the kind seen in previous Call of Duty console games. Tokens can be spent to unlock the game's weapons and perks earlier than they would otherwise be made available. The game's in-app purchases involve buying virtual tokens, which can also be earned by levelling up, completing the game's campaign mode, signing into a Call of Duty online account, completing every third wave in Survival mode, and for playing the game on consecutive days. The new game was developed by The Blast Furnace, Activision's in-house, UK-based mobile development studio, which was announced in August 2012. "While we're going to continue to look at it, and we think that over the long term there'll be opportunities, right now we just don't see anything that would suggest that changing the way we approach investing against mobile would be a good idea," the company's then-boss Bobby Kotick told financial analysts in May 2013, when asked about Activision's strategy.Ĭall of Duty: Strike Team looks like it's had significant investment, however: the game is a 1.31GB download, while the hybrid first/third person gameplay hints at a strategy seeing mobile as more than just a platform for promotional spin-off games for the franchise. While Activision has released a number of mobile games as spin-offs from console franchises including Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and reboots of older games like Pitfall, the publisher has sometimes seemed more ambivalent about smartphones and tablets than competitors like Electronic Arts. However, the new game looks the most ambitious yet. Previous games include Call of Duty: Zombies and Call of Duty: Black Ops. It's not the first Call of Duty game to be released for mobile devices.


It features two modes: a single player campaign and a survival mode with online leaderboards. Strike Team is also a hybrid game, switching between traditional first-person shooter and a third-person view for "reconnaissance and coordinated squad attacks". The game is set in 2020, with players tasked with leading a US Joint Special Operations Team after the country "finds themselves in a war with an unknown enemy".
