Modder recreates Mirror’s Edge in Call of Duty: MW

There must be a special modder gene that compels them to rebuild famous gaming locations using tools that were never designed for the task. Modder SuX Lolz is clearly too hard on himself, because he’s done a spectacular job of shoehorning an interpretation of Mirror’s Edge’s prologue into a Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Deathrun map. Here’s the original for comparison.

Some of the grime and fine detail is absent, sure, but the palette and stark lines of the city is dead on. The preview went live in late February, and I’m struggling to grasp how such a massive project has only just surfaced, but here in is now—soak it in. Maybe file a bookmark too, because it’s not quite done: Lolz plans to add a number of secrets to the map and is contemplating bringing it to Black Ops 3 should modding tools ever surface.

Thanks, PCGamesN.
