After months of working online and mostly only communicating via ICQ instant messenger, his team created a Quake mod as a playable demo to show off their talent.

The game was published by Electronic Arts and released for the Windows platform[19][20] on January 22, 2002, in North America and on February 15, 2002, in Europe.

Activision then approached key members of 2015, Inc., including Vince Zampella, Jason West, and Grant Collier, offering them a contract to create Infinity Ward.

In 2002, 2015 began development on its own intellectual property, Men of Valor, a first person shooter simulating infantry combat during the Vietnam era.

[27][28] In historically-based scenarios, the player assumes a variety of roles in which they man the door gun on a Huey helicopter, steer a riverboat along enemy-infested shores, battle their way through enemy tunnel complexes, and call down fire as a forward observer.

On April 14, 2015, it was announced that Nordic Games had closed an asset purchase agreement with 2015 to acquire the Men of Valor IP.

[29][30] In late 1999, Kudirka created a separate development division of 2015 called Trainwreck Studios, a subsidiary specializing in mid-price to budget games.

In the last years, Tornado Studios has been focusing on developing photorealistic 3D models for games, movies, presentations, architectural visualizations and designs.
