Details about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0

The soft restart of 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was popular with players and sold well. Therefore, it is not surprising that Activision dedicated the development of the sequel to Infinity Ward. This should start a new era for the famous series.

But this does not mean a revolution, but the unification of the engine. The redesigned engine from Infinity Ward will also be used by Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games and other co-creators of the upcoming Call of Duty. But this does not mean that all parts will be the same. Another Call of Duty from Treyarch will have its own unique style, like games from other studios.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is happening three years after the events of the Modern Warfare reboot. Task Force 141, under the command of Captain Price, is fully formed, operating around the world and facing the worst consequences. He is joined by notables such as Simon “Ghost” Riley, Kyle “Gaz” Garrick, and John “Soap” MacTavish, as well as newcomer Colonel Alejandro Vargas. The division will operate in America, Europe and Asia.

This is fiction, but it is inspired by military events that shape the world we live in. Waiting again for a crazy ride, a lot of shooting and secrecy.

Individual levels have been designed around some of the iconic Modern Warfare missions.. Some focus on stealth, others add new mechanisms, such as the ability to lean out of the car while driving.

Infinity Ward features a full story campaign with varied experiences. Naval siege with underwater combat, explosive attacks from 30,000 feet above enemy fortresses and stealth missions under the cover of darkness await you.

Foreign editors could see a stealth mission called Wetwork, where Price and Gaz swam and crawled along the docks to clear a port full of enemies without noticing them behind a veil of darkness. The mission is reminiscent of the iconic All Ghillied Up level from 2007’s Modern Warfare, but with an emphasis on knives rather than guns.

The second example of changes is Convoy. This is a car chase mission. But this time around, players have choices and new ways to join the mission. For example, they can choose which car the column will sit in, as well as choose a place in the car. Related to this is the ability to “climb” onto the roof of the car.

Nightwar shows up again improved AI NPCwhen the soap, the ghost and a team of marines must clear the building of enemies. NPCs should behave more realistically, actively control corners, and pay more attention to their lives.

Infinity Ward talks about the AI ​​that reacts dynamically to the player’s choicebut the journalists were unable to verify it. Anyway, Improved artificial intelligence will be transferred to all game modes, including multiplayer and Warzone 2.0. But more on that later.

Most of the presentation was devoted to water. According to the impressions of foreign colleagues, it should be done very well. For example, during the “Wet Job” mission in Amsterdam, the waves are rushing and Captain Prince and others are rocking the boat, respectively. There is also an imitation of foam. Ships make waves. Swimming creates small splashes. you can do water stealth takedownif you quietly swim up to the enemy, who is standing on the platform above you. You pull him down and you can handle him there with a knife.

It should be even more interesting when you dive below the surface. Water refracts light, and the deeper you swim, the more cloudy it is., so the worst visibility must be taken into account. Water slows down projectile speed, which means that when you shoot someone from underwater, or shoot someone who is underwater, you deal less damage.

In Infinity Ward they intended make water fun. For this reason, each piece of equipment interacts correctly with it. For example, a non-contact mine floats little in the water, is carried away by the current and becomes dangerous for ships.

The same is expected in multiplayer. This time it goes hand in hand with the battle royale. In Infinity Ward they call it Warzone 2.0 and it boasts everything that will be in Modern Warfare 2. That is, improved artificial intelligence. In Warzone 2.0, there will be 300 AI soldiers for every 100 real players..

They will come in handy in multiplayer, Warzone 2.0 and campaigns. new moves. The creators talk about hovering on a ledge when you can fire a cannon. You can also jump on a helicopter, linger and then pull yourself up. On vehicles, doors can be destroyed and tires punctured, which will affect driving performance. Damaged cars can be repaired.

Current Warzone players may be disappointed that they won’t be able to transfer their inventory and progress. Warzone 2.0 will be a fresh start and release later this year.shortly after Modern Warfare 2. The current Warzone will continue to exist, it will be a separate experience.

Cards are of two types. You can count on large battle maps and traditional 6v6 base maps. Team Deathmatch, Domination and Ground War are back (which was very popular in Modrn Warfare 2019). They will be complemented by two new modes called “Hostage” and “Knockout”.

Hostage is a 6v6 game in which players take turns trying to either defend or rescue two hostages on the map. Knockout is a shootout variant, instead of 2v2 or 3v3 it’s 6v6 with the ability to revive teammates. Players will fight to get the bag of money and save it.

Fans of Ground War will be pleased that extensive maps have been created specifically for this mode. In addition, some maps will be pulled from the Warzone 2.0 map. Infinity Ward is called combat cards. One of these places is Sharrif Bay with its port and Said with the embankment and tall buildings.

As for the traditional 6v6 maps, they will take us to a Spanish museum, to a nighttime Grand Prix track somewhere in Asia, and to a farm with a shooting range.

The latest information from the rich presentation is the return of Spec Ops co-op mode. So, this is the third big part of Call of Duty this year. Spec Ops will support 4 players here, resulting in large maps with significant difficulty.. But we still need to wait for the details.

As for the latest generation of consoles, the game is said to run well and look better than 2019’s Modern Warfare.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches October 28 on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. A plus Call of Duty returns to Steam after five years and joins the games where the PC version costs 70 euros.
