BURNS A LANE INTO RETAIL STORES NATIONWIDE

Follow-Up to 2004 Sleeper Hit Takes High Calibre Paintball Action to New Heights

Sydney, Australia – February 3rd, 2006 – With the release of Greg Hasting’ Tournament Paintball MAX’D (GHTP MAX’D) the intensity and innovation of the 2004 sleeper hit returns to the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft. With new features such as Breakout Manager and Field Editor, the franchise’s continued focus on speed, tactics and teamwork separate this first person action game from the pack.

GHTP MAX’D sets the tone with a breakthrough feature set providing limitless gameplay possibilities for gamers. The new Breakout Manager gives gamers complete control of their AI team mates’ positions, moves and targets at the start of the game. This control is so complete that gamers can even direct their AI team mates to maintain shooting at key positions known as “Burn Lanes.” In addition, the new Field Editor and Split Screen features enable gamers to create their own fields and test their skills with multiplayer split-screen action, allowing both head-to-head competition and Co-Op play on fields they have created.

"With more than 120,000 registered users on Xbox Live, Greg Hastings’ Tournament Paintball is among the most popular multiplayer games for the platform,” said David Oxford, Activision, Inc. “Now with GHTP MAX’D, fans and new players alike will experience a whole new level of intensity and innovation.”

GHTP MAX’D is available for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft for a suggested retail price of $49.95 with other platforms to follow soon. The game has been rated "PG” by the Office of Film and Literature Classification. For more information about the game visit www.activisionvalue.com .
