Call of Cuty 2 coming to Pocket PC
« Thread Started on Jan 17, 2007, 5:20pm »
Call of Duty 2, one of the highest ranked World War II First Person Shooters in recent history, is now being ported to the Windows Mobile Pocket PC platform.

Aspyr Media is handling the port of the game and just by judging on the screen shots, it looks good for Pocket PC standards.
The controls of the game have been completely reworked to make full use of the touch screen interface on Pocket PCs. It will be interesting to see how well they pulled that off since previous first person shooters that I have tried on my Pocket PC have not been the best control wise(Pocket Wolf3D and PocketQuake come to mind).
According to the developers the game is designed to take full advantage of next generation Marvell(who bought the XScale line from Intel) XScale (Monahans / PXA3xx) CPUs. Those CPUs can go up to 800MHz so I doubt that the game will have any problem running on those when they show up in devices, which will probably be some time this year.
There are two versions of the game: software rendered and hardware accelerated. Beyond being compatible with Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5, each version has certain requirements. They are as follows:
    Software Rendered
  • Any Pocket PC or Smartphone with 28mb of free RAM
  • 300 MHz Intel XScaleŽ processor
  • SD Card with 32mb free


    Hardware Accelerated
  • 300 MHz Intel XScaleŽ processor
  • Intel 2700G or Nvidia GoForce 5500
    graphics chip
  • 28mb of free RAM
  • SD Card with 32mb free


While Aspyr has not said this out right, I believe the Hardware Accelerated version probably performs better and has better graphics. I would not be surprised if the screen shots they were showing were of a device with an Intel or nVidia GPU in it.
I also wonder how much of the elements that made the PC version great made it to the Pocket PC version.
The game is currently stated to be releasing sometime this month so keep an eye out for Call of Duty 2 Pocket PC Edition.
