This is because going forward, all Call Of Duty titles will be built using the same engine. Modern Warfare II still looks a lot like Modern Warfare 2019 but you can see bits and pieces of Cold War and Vanguard in there as well. What this means remains to be seen in a lot of ways. The two games will be built on the same engine and will represent a hard reset for the franchise, ushering in a ‘new era of Call of Duty.’ The Next Era Of Call Of Duty Is A Unified Game Engine No skins from the previous last three years, no guns, no nothing. You will not be able to carry over any of the content you purchased in any of these past games. Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2 wipe the slate clean. Right now, we have Modern Warfare 2019, Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard all linked to Warzone but all three games run on different engines and their shared-launcher experience is buggy and antiquated. The games will be directly linked to one another, but not to any past Call Of Duty entry. Modern Warfare II launches on October 28th, 2022 and Warzone 2 comes out sometime later this year. Modern Warfare 2 And Warzone 2 Are A Hard Reset You can climb out on to your vehicle’s roof and leap to other vehicles as well.
You can drive any vehicle in the mission, so you’re not locked down to just one car like in many past Call Of Duty driving missions. The final mission we previewed (at least that we’re allowed to talk about) is a great big chase scene in the desert that could have been plucked straight out of Uncharted 3. The disadvantage? You’re upside down and disoriented. The advantage to ‘toe up’ is that you’re upside down and you can spot enemies the moment you get to a lower floor. The building is all windows, and you can rappel either ‘toe down’ or ‘toe up’ as you descend. This mission takes place in nighttime Chicago and involves rappelling down a skyscraper with the lights of the Windy City as your glimmering backdrop. For instance, you can shoot underwater but your bullets will be slowed down and do less damage. The water graphics are some of the best I’ve seen, with realistic wave simulation and other cool tricks.

The player was tasked with taking out a series of guards before boarding a ship, and if spotted they could dive deep under the water to get away. Infinity Ward has gone to great lengths to add water and swimming to the game (in every mode, no less) and this was a swimming showcase. Set in Amsterdam (a location for Cold War also), the portion of this mission that I previewed was largely stealth. I also noticed how crisp and deep the sound effects were during this mission. You could see the lit-up smoke pluming off the downed helicopter, and even well into the mission, the chopper’s blades were still spinning slowly. Your squad has to secure several buildings on the way to the crash site where you hope to rescue survivors. This was a hands-off preview, but we got to see a pretty good chunk of several missions, including:Ī nighttime mission set in a Middle Eastern outpost of some sort where an Apache helicopter crashes. Infinity Ward did a great deal of consulting with Mexican special forces for this game. Vargas is a Mexican Special Ops colonel based loosely off a real person whose identity remains a secret. The principal characters in Modern Warfare II include:
The game picks up after Captain Price and CIA chief Kate Laswell met at the end of the last game and started discussing operatives for Task Force 141, a spec ops team tasked with globetrotting missions to take down terrorists and other baddies. The missions I watched (recorded on a PlayStation 5) were at once stunning to look at and incredibly varied. Graphically, however, the game looks spectacular.
Modern Warfare II is brighter and more colorful than Modern Warfare 2019 but it’s not quite as poppy as Cold War. When Black Ops Cold War came out, the color palette seemed positively brilliant in comparison.
The last Modern Warfare was a grey/brown experience, and multiplayer and even Warzone could feel a bit washed out and colorless. It’s also more colorful, at least from what I saw. The tonal change is meant to offset that to some degree, and to make the campaign more fun. War in Ukraine, a global pandemic and rising inflation all make life feel a lot more grim than it did just a few years ago. The world has certainly gotten a little more bleak since 2019. Whereas Modern Warfare took a somewhat grittier tone-with a handful of missions that are somewhat uncomfortable to play- Modern Warfare II is taking a lighter tone, emphasizing action and adventure.
