The trailer—and these new screenshots—look absolutely phenomenal. If that was all we knew about the game so far I'd be deeply impressed. Unlike last year's Black Ops 4, this year's game has a major focus on the single-player content. "Modern Warfare is meant to be a mature and authentic portrayal of today's battlefields, complete with psychological dread, complex villains and real-world gore. Pacing and suspense take precedence over gratuitous trauma and violence," writes Jessica Conditt of Engadget. The campaign focuses on two stories. In one, you're part of an elite British spec-ops squad. In the other, you're a young Middle Easter freedom fighter—and a woman, a first for Call Of Duty's campaigns save for a brief mission in Call Of Duty: WWII. (You've been able to play as female avatars in MP for years now, but never in the campaign save for the one mission you play as a French freedom fighter in Sledgehammer's WWII).

"This is a completely new perspective for Modern Warfare, this is a brand new thing," Infinity Ward narrative director Taylor Kurosaki said according to the Engadget piece. "We spend about half the game playing alongside Tier 1 operators and about half the game playing alongside rebel freedom fighters. This is exciting not only from a storytelling perspective, where we can delve into the lives of these characters and see why they fight and what they fight for, but also from a gameplay perspective."
