Call of Duty PSP details

New name, shots fired. Unf.

Activision has released a bit more information about PSP version of Call of Duty, including its official name and some screenshots.

Call of Duty: Roads to Victory, it's called, and it's in development at Amaze, who will be aiming to get the game done in time for a spring 2007 release.

Like the other games in the World War II first-person shooter series, you play as multiple characters - in this case an infantry soldier in the 82nd Airborne, a Canadian First Army rifleman and an elite British Para Regiment commando.

We're promised "mounted machine gun battles, sniper encounters and aircraft attacks" across "13 intense battles", with "scrupulously honed" control schemes, four of which will be available so you can choose the method of tossing grenades, targeting enemies and leaping between standing and prone that suits you.

On top of that, there should be multiplayer with support for between four and six people, and modes including Deathmatch, Capture The Flag and King of the Hill, as well as unlockable weapons, artillery, vehicles and armour to add some replay value.

    The PSP game-developers are really going the wrong way. I, personally, don't need an FPS on my PSP, but woukd like to see more of something like LocoRoco or Lumines instead. Because they fit all this portability thing better.
    If I want to play Call of Duty, I'll do it on my PC or 360, where I wouldn't have to wrestle with the controls.

    I've been as big a doubter as anyone over playing an FPS with only one analogue controller, but since playing Syphon Filter, the control scheme of aiming with my left thumb has become completely natural. Even though SF is an over the shoulder system, the controls are pretty much identical to an FPS set-up. I'd rather have total control over button assignments than the four presets available. I hate having limited control systems forced on me.
