Comment of the game producer

Thank you for the Global Award.
 
It is a very great honor to again received the Global Award for the Call of Duty series subsequent to receiving it last year and the year before. The staff at developer Infinity Ward and the publisher Activision are also very pleased.
 
The appeal of the Call of Duty series is the multi-play that lets players from around the world do battle while in the tense and exciting street mode. In Japan, mainly students and other young players are engaged in heated fire fights every day!
For this reason, in February we held University Competition for college players to battle it out to prove which is the strongest team in Japan. The competition was won by the Keio University team, which received a prize of \1 million.
 
We want to continue providing fun events, so please look forward to them.
Please also look forward in anticipation to the new title Call of Duty: Black Ops 2!
