Ok, I’ll do it:
THQ Inc. (Nasdaq: THQI - News) today announced Full Spectrum Warrior™: Ten Hammers for the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. The game builds upon the ground-breaking, genre-blending game play of the original, integrating an all new robust multiplayer system, player-controlled coalition forces, mechanized units and enhanced character abilities and advanced enemy A.I. Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers is scheduled to release this winter.
“The critical acclaim, commercial success and fan base for the Full Spectrum Warrior brand continues to grow, with the game reaching Platinum status on Xbox and the recent launch of the PlayStation 2 game,” said Peter Dille, senior vice president, worldwide marketing, THQ. “Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers is expected to have a simultaneous launch across all platforms, taking the brand to the next level with enhanced gameplay and intense online features.”

Full Spectrum Warrior™: Ten Hammers will make its debut May 18 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, CA., where additional details will be revealed.
Excellent news. I thought the first game was innovative, but became stale after a while (“shoot there, flank, kill enemy” - Repeat ad infinitum). Glad it’s getting a sequel.
Anywhoooooo, to be a little self-serving, I don’t have any good THQ contacts anymore, so can someone help a brother out? :)
