More specifically, the entire campaign occurs in and sees the return of some characters from the first Black Ops. It's up to you to influence how the vital operation plays out over a set of missions that vary in quality.
When you swap characters, you switch time periods too. Alex's missions occur in the s, while David's sections are in the future. During the past missions, the older Mason teams up with the likes of Hudson and Woods once again to track down a dangerous man named Raul Menendez.
COD4 was the first entry to take the series away from a WW2 setting. Instead, the game's main events take place during one week in Plus, for two missions, you flashback to to learn more about the main antagonist. The latest entry in the Modern Warfare sub-series isn't a part of the same continuity as the others. However, some classic Modern Warfare characters still return in this one, namely Price.
They all team up to stop the Russians who've taken over Urzikstan. Parts of the game are flashbacks that take you to Five years on from the events of the first Modern Warfare, Soap MacTavish has become a Captain, and he's leading a special forces unit called Task Force His group spends the game hunting Vladimir Makarov, who is the leader of the Russian Ultranationalist party.
Yet, it turns out that there is another villain in the mix that's closer to home. Modern Warfare 3 continues right where its predecessor left off with Price and Nikolai getting an injured Soap to safety. Like the previous game, the story is all about tracking down and stopping Makarov.
Then the story jumps ahead ten years where the country is still suffering the effects of the blast, and a spec ops team called Ghosts are at war with the Federation. Most of the adventure occurs in , but there is a flashback to at one point.
Once again, the Xbox version can be played on the Xbox One. Once again, it puts the player in the boots of a British SAS operative and an American soldier, all the while retaining the bulk of the multiplayer mechanics of the first Modern Warfare. Apart from that, it made no new major additions or changes, although it did cause one of the more memorable gaming controversies.
It was only ported to OS X five years after the initial release, and it also remains the only Call of Duty game not playable on the Xbox One via backward compatibility. Black Ops was thus born, a game focusing on fictional events taking place during the Cold War era.
As befits the setting, it focuses less on war itself and more on the machinations and secret operations that take place behind the scenes.
There were no huge gameplay alterations introduced, although Black Ops is the first Call of Duty game to feature not only a single protagonist, but a talking protagonist , in contrast to the silent protagonists of the previous games.
Multiplayer-wise, it simply builds off the mechanics established by Modern Warfare , although it does allow more in-depth character customization. On top of that, the zombie mode from World at War makes a comeback. As before, the Xbox version can be played on the Xbox One due to backward compatibility.
At 30 million copies sold, Modern Warfare 3 is the best-selling Call of Duty game of all time. It continued the story of Modern Warfare 2 and is the first game to be co-developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games, the latter being the studio that would work on separate Call of Duty titles in the future.
There are no major changes in the multiplayer department either, as the changes came down mostly to balance the experience. However, it was the first Call of Duty game with two campaigns set in different periods — the s and the s. Not only that, but it was also the first Call of Duty game to feature a degree of player agency.
In terms of the multiplayer, the most significant addition was a weapon progression system that would unlock various modifications and attachments as the weapon leveled up. Other than that, it merely streamlined the competitive multiplayer, and it featured a zombie mode, just like World at War and the original Black Ops. The fourth Call of Duty game made by Infinity Ward that takes place in a modern setting, Ghosts was Modern Warfare 4 in everything but name.
It does go further into the future and sci-fi aspects previously explored in Black Ops II , though, hinting at what the future holds for the series. Ghosts introduces a whole new cast of characters, and perhaps the most notable addition to the single-player campaign is the ability to control an animal — a trained German Shepherd named Riley.
The multiplayer brings destructible environments, some new game modes, and the usual optimization, but remains mostly unchanged from the previous installments. Ghosts was the first Call of Duty game to be released on both the 7 th and 8 th generation consoles, and it was also the second and last Call of Duty game available for the Wii U. Naturally, it was released for Windows as well. It is also the first time that Call of Duty took a dive head-first into sci-fi , as the events of the game are set mid-way through the 21 st century, which is much farther into the future than any of the previous games went.
The game expands upon the old Call of Duty formula by introducing the Exoskeleton suit that, among other things, greatly improved character mobility, something that made for an even faster-paced gameplay experience. On top of that, it also featured extra abilities such as cloaking , a portable shield , a health boost and more.
The multiplayer remains similar, although the maps are crafted to capitalize on the increased mobility. In addition to the regular competitive mode, it also included a refreshed take on the Survival and Zombie modes.
Following the trend started by Advanced Warfare , Black Ops III abandoned the Cold War era and repositioned its focus solely on the futuristic environment of the s. This was reflected in the customizable characters and the more open level design. In the multiplayer department not much had changed, as it was the same type of gameplay with enhanced mobility from Advanced Warfare , and it retained the weapon progression from the previous Black Ops game. Black Ops III did, however, add some special character classes with unique abilities and an updated and improved zombie mode.
