Modern Warfare is sort of upon us, once more. This 12 months’s Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare is rather more fashionable than these different Modern Warfares (all three of them) which, in hindsight, aren’t fairly so fashionable anymore. Things are gritty and actual this time round, which is each rather more fashionable and way more battle than earlier than. See? Open the Blizzard launcher and have a look for your self. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare’s huge cross-platform open beta kicks off this weekend. Assuming, after all, you’re not preventing in it already.
Infinity Ward are showcasing Modern Warfare’s ridiculous 32v32 (finally 100v100) Ground War this weekend. With there being no signal of a brand new Battlefield this 12 months, Call Of Duty might be primed to snap up the large-scale-shooter itch. Assuming, not less than, that its total viewers doesn’t bugger off to play PlanetSide Arena for that huge quantity repair.
The beta additionally contains the much-lauded 2v2 Gunfight mode – a nervewracking, stripped-down deathmatch that’s virtually extra Counter-Strike than Call Of Duty. Between this and the hundred-player Ground War, Call Of Duty is providing some staggeringly completely different playstyles this 12 months.
Elsewhere, there are six modes to select from, together with Realism – which, I assume, entails snivelling in a nook in concern to your life earlier than a unfastened shot snatches you from this mortal realm. Thankfully, the reaper can snatch from throughout 4 maps, from a cave within the desert to an industrial lot in Hackney.
Truly, a globe-trotting journey like no different.
