A multiplayer trailer awaits under.
It’s acquainted, innit. Drones and explosions and that, however now a few of the explosions are in a cave and the builders are actually eager to point out off the night-vision goggles. It’s the identical Call we’ve been listening to for years, with all the issues of unfair kill-streak rewards and repetitive twitchy capturing. I’ll in all probability nonetheless play and luxuriate in it for a number of hours, thoughts.

There is a singleplayer marketing campaign this time spherical, by the best way, and the devs hold boasting about how reasonable and mature it’s. At E3 they showed Eurogamer a comically naff-sounding three-stage stealth occasion the place you play as two kids who should stab and shoot their kidnapper to demise.
