Is Cod Winning The Battle, Or The War?
Bullets fizz past above your head and you hear the shouts of your squad in your ears. Bombs scream from the sky, kicking up dirt, and blood flies through the air. Your boots, as Activision keeps saying, are firmly on the ground. It’s hell on Earth, but by god does it feel like Call Of Duty.
It’s been a while since we came away from a COD multiplayer match with a huge smile on our faces. Infinite Warfare, with its mad super soldiery and crazy acrobatics was fun for a while, but it quickly became apparent that somewhere among all the jetpacks and laser rifles, the minute-to-minute gameplay had lost some of its soul.
Which is why were surprised to find ourselves grinning so much after a hands-on session with COD: WWII at E3. We played three game modes – Team Deathmatch, Dominion, and a new mode that bears the inventive name of War.
