The app, which can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store as of yesterday, offers Call Of Duty: World At War who take these things seriously on-the-go access to game related news, World At War career stats, leaderboard access and more. That fun statistical data is carried over from the official Call Of Duty: World At War site, should you be a registered player.
iPhone games are all the rage, but Activision is doing something with Apple’s platform that is ostensibly less expensive and potentially more engaging to their audience.
Rather than try and come out with a stripped-down version of their popular Call of Duty games for iPhone (although we expect that announcement any day now), Activision is giving away a free iPhone app that helps players track their stats and the latest COD news using the game s APIs.
It’s all about extending the brand to multiple platforms, and this is a great (and cost-effective) way to do just that without compromising either the game or iPhone experience.
