The official release of the long-awaited shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.
If for some reason that we have a simple remake, then this is not who. In essence, this is a new story with the same characters, having a common origin, but in fact showing signs of personality from a different angle and different outcomes. A new game in the series, continuing the relaunch of the chocolate franchise in 2019.
We have already met in the novelty. The mailing that has changed and why it needs special attention.
Back to basics, but not really
Immediately, I note that the game has a full-fledged Russian voiceover. Apparently, Activision proceeds from the fact that it is necessary to start a project for the Russian market, but some changes come from this goal.
The plot tells about the unit 141, conducting a special operation under the command of General Shepard. During the liquidation of the Iranian General Gorbrani. In the detachment, as well as, there are cult personalities, like Captain Price before and the eternally silent Ghost.
In the end, the hands of Hassan Zayani seized power, who get hold of American missiles and finance terrorism. We have to face the fact that he got access to reasonable development and was able to solve all his possible problems.
On the story did a lot in this part emphasisthan in the original Modern Warfare II. This can be seen not only in the cutscenes, but also in the usual dialogue during the process.
Russians appear in the history of events, mainly indirectly. Against the backdrop of current problems, the creators decided to move away from the cliche about “evil Russians”. We are talking exclusively about the brave soldiers who must once again save the whole world. Standard, simple, but did not take its zest.
True to the end the plot can fall apart and create a void with a reserve for a possible part.
The most important feature is manifested in the dialogues. Sometimes you can even chat with your team separately, for example, asking them uncomfortable questions, like why Ghost never caught his skin with a skull. the nature of the Graduation of the heroes will change, and due to the simplicity of communication, it is much easier to empathize or put yourself in your place.
You get into color much better and, what is important, you believe in it. At the same time, very important and impressive videos with amazing graphics that work even on my old 1070 Tee on ultra settings with stable 45-50 fps.
The game looks like photorealistic. You’ve even seen examples from Amsterdam, which is hard to distinguish from the video from the game Maybe from the real shooting. And there’s not even ray tracing!
Facial animations, different level geometry, a new way of telling a story, reworked dialogue – all this greatly plays into immersion. Project initiative with a bang.
It will take you about 7-8 hours to complete the passage. It is possible and faster, if you do not blunt in some places.
Speaking of them.
The gameplay is still peppy, but…
Locations have become larger, more diverse and expanded. In many cases, the scope increased in size, which increased the “creative space”. In other words, now here more routes from point A to point B.
However, it’s still a rail shooter where you’re just not being held as much by the hand and given a little time to think. In general, the game design is good, and the main focus has shifted from an endless thoughtless shooting range to more stealth.
The weapons have also undergone some changes. Pistols, machine guns, etc. have become “weightier”, they have a completely different sound, very close to the body, and a new recoil system. The latter was especially pleased, with it reproduction is best felt.
But… Emphasis on greater realism did not go to the game. The same stealth missions are built stupidly because of the severity of the strange behavior of AI enemies. Activision had little experience with similar tasks before, now I personally haven’t noticed any changes in the open side.
Yes, there are good ideas in terms of tasks that could change and refresh the gameplay, but stupidity of bots ruins everything in the bud. By the way, the basic craft was also brought here.
At the same time, the opponents themselves notice more damage, which should have forced the player to act a little more tactfully, but again, weak intelligence destroys everything.
Also, during the passage, several bugs were encountered that interrupted the smooth passage. There were not so many of them, often the game just crashed without errors and no apparent reason. I had to replay the newly identified episodes, since the control points of view were correctly placed.
Despite the problems, this is a cool game
And one of the best military shooters with an original but interesting plot.
The plot turned out, though expected closer to the finale, but overall interesting and fast-paced. The novelty has amazing graphics that do not require top-end hardware for most gamers.
Yes, there are some flaws and dampness was allowed on the release. I believe that with additions and updates, these roughnesses will be brought to mind.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is not officially sold in Russia, but you can always open an account in another country.
