![]() While the single-player and matchmaking are the two campaigns most closely associated with the Call of Duty franchise, Spec Ops will play a much bigger role in “Modern Warfare 3.” It seems as if the single-player campaign will be filled with these high intensity moments.Īs far as multiplayer goes, I was able to snag some hands-on time with the game’s Survival Spec Ops mode. The mission’s climactic moment comes when the fight heads to the subway system, and you chase down a speeding train filled with enemies. Before long, enemies begin to flood the docks and the player takes control of an attack chopper to even up the score. As the level progresses, so does the action. The start of the mission has a spy plane give the player a quick layout of the map, and seeing as this is a stealth mission, it is best for the player to take note of their findings. ![]() Without spoiling too much, the London level, “Mind the Gap” was a lot more controlled and was quieter than it’s NY counterpart. While the gunplay may be more loose in New York, while fighting in London, the player will need to be aware of their surroundings and play more delicately as the rules of engagement are different. Rather than have your cookie-cutter levels where you blow away anything in your path, “Modern Warfare 3” will put you in radically different scenarios depending on where you are fighting. As Robert Bowling, a Creative Strategist at Infinity Ward, explained during the demo, while the war is being fought on many different fronts, there are major differences in terms of the types of conflict in each different locale. The second level I saw, and this truly emphasized the global stage that the game is set in, was in London. As the level progresses, the player will navigate through underwater minefields, take down a Russian sub and eradicate the enemies inside of it, all in typical “Modern Warfare” fashion. From the tiles and signage inside the tunnel to the deserted yellow taxis, it doesn’t take long to know you are fighting a war in the Big Apple. The level began with the player navigating through a flooded Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, which Schofield said needed to be in the game to create a real “New York” feel. ![]() ![]() This level of detail was pretty evident as I watched the game in action and saw the New York level in action. On hand for the demo was Sledgehammer Games’ founder Glen Schofield who stressed to me that the game’s developers wanted to recreate environments that people who play the game can easily recognize in both the world of Call of Duty and reality. I had a chance to observe two levels from the hotly-anticipated “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3,” and there is no reason to think this shooter will be any less captivating or epic than it’s predecessors. In the series third title, the conflict will continue to grow and truly become global, as the game’s story will take you to locales all over the world including New York, London, Paris and Berlin. In the wildly successful sequel, appropriately named “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2,” gamers were able to experience a war on American soil for the first time since the Civil War. “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” introduced an all-new storyline focused around global conflict and brought the experience to the present day.
