Remote air support control, on-foot firefights, and tense vehicle sequences keep the campaign moving at a great clip in these urban environments, capturing the expert pacing that has made past Call of Duty campaigns so exhilarating.

The impressive scenery makes the action more impactful, and the campaign shuffles you around to different fronts within each city to make sure you can experience the battle from many different angles. From New York City to London to Paris, no bastion of Western civilization is safe, and the destruction that has been visited on these iconic locations is visually stunning. You make a few forays into backwater outposts, but the most striking situations are when you take up arms in conflicts that consume entire cities. It doesn’t take the pair long to get back in the hunt, and soon you’re hopping the globe in pursuit of your quarry. Our heroes, Soap and Price, are in bad shape, and the villain, Makarov, is still at large. The campaign picks up where Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 left off.
