Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis set to have a proper showcase at E3 2019 in a Coliseum event that is taking place on June 11 at 3:00pm PT. Prior to that, though, members of Infinity Ward have appeared on some E3 2019 streams to discuss the game, revealing some previously unknown details aboutCall of Duty: Modern Warfare.
For example, we know thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfarewill be using environments scanned in from the real world and brought into the game. Through this method, the environments inCall of Duty: Modern Warfarewill be “100% realistic in size,” according to Infinity Ward and as reported by CharlieINTEL.
This strive for realism is apparent in other areas ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfareas well, and seems to be one of the main focuses of the game. Part of this realism will be depicting the horrors of war that most other shooter games tend to avoid, which means the game will have some potentially uncomfortable and controversial scenes.
One of the most publicized controversial scenes inCall of Duty: Modern Warfareis a mission that occurs early in the game where players control a child soldier. Not only does thechild soldier missionshow a child brutally murdering people, but it also shows dead kids and a dying dog, which has already drummed up some controversy.
Between the grim and honest depiction of war and the realistic environments, it seems as though Infinity Ward may very well succeed in its goal to makeCall of Duty: Modern Warfareas realistic as possible. Meanwhile, the game’s use of scanned-in environments isn’t the only new thing we learned aboutCall of Duty: Modern Warfarefrom Infinity Ward devs recently.
We also learned thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfarewill have Spec Ops, the co-op mode that was featured inModern Warfare 2and3. Details on Spec Ops are scarce at this time, but perhaps more on it will come to light as E3 rolls on.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfarelaunches on October 25 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
