Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Gameplay Revealed, Looks Incredibly Realistic

Here’s the first full gameplay trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II - strap in, it's a long one

Reads the description for this trailer: “An oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico is storing the cargo that could spark a global conflict. Task Force 141 found intel that shows missiles hidden on board and have dispatched a team of Soap, Ghost, and Mexican Special Forces Colonel Alejandro Vargas, along with Shadow Company, enter a ship full of well-armed AQ enemies to locate the controls for a missile bound for the US.”

Modern Warfare II is using all-new tech to power things like its water dynamics, which as you'll see are pretty dang impressive. Water, good, is what we're saying. An open beta for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II will initially be offered as an exclusive for PlayStation 4 and PS5 players, sometime in the near future, with other platforms gaining access later. Alongside this new standalone title, Call of Duty is also overhauling its free-to-play Warzone experience, which is going into a 2.0 version and crossing over to mobile.

The campaign for Modern Warfare II will take players on a global journey with near-photo-real environments bringing an all-new level of realism. Activision’s emphasis for this release is on teamwork, hence the somewhat janky but well-intentioned tagline of “the ultimate weapon is team” - which isn’t to say that MWII isn’t incredibly militaristic, but with Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine remaining in global headlines, it’s obvious that the publisher would want to focus on fun and playing with pals over the IRL horrors of war.
