It’s quick, oddly quiet, and, yes, genuinely and profoundly uncomfortable. She was “going for a bloody detonator,” an officer says. A woman, unarmed, makes a sudden movement. They spray the mattress with bullets, and he dies too. Another suspect hides underneath a bed, the barrel of his gun visible to the SAS. The hostage grabs the rifle that was just pointed at her and she is instantly shot by the SAS.
They approach the kitchen and gun down two male suspects, then a woman. It looks like the climactic scene of Zero Dark Thirty, a near-silent assault on an ordinary, rundown flat. In cover of darkness, SAS soldiers enter the building wearing night vision goggles. The military tracks a suspect to a nearby location, and they stealthily approach an apartment building via a back alley approach. In London, outside Piccadilly Square, a car bomb explodes in a busy city street. The first gameplay from Modern Warfare shows the conflict from the perspective of the British SAS. And he wants the new Modern Warfare to deliver the same caliber of “relevant, relatable and provocative moments.”īased on two missions from the game that we saw, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will have no shortage of provocation.
“I felt genuinely and profoundly uncomfortable in that moment,” Minkoff said.
The view from the AC-130 in that game looks nearly identical to real-world footage of such airstrikes.
In that section of the game, players view the conflict disconnected from above in sterile black and white, raining fire down on faceless enemies. Jacob Minkoff, campaign gameplay director on the new Modern Warfare, made reference to another source of inspiration: Infinity Ward’s own Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and its AC-130 mission. He referenced modern military films like Lone Survivor, American Sniper, Hurt Locker, and Sicario, which he said “are not about black and white” characters, but about people “navigating a tough world,” as influences on his new game. Kurosaki likened the Modern Warfare reimagining to Casino Royale, the 2006 film that relaunched the James Bond franchise with a more grounded tone.
