Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Campaign Early Access & MP Beta Details

Join classic heroes, new allies

Task Force 141 faces its greatest threat yet – a newly attuned threat with deep connections. The campaign features missions in Europe, Asia, and the Americas and promises to be an incredible experience at various levels: offshore sieges with underwater combat, total explosive attacks from 30,000 feet above enemy strongholds and high stakes, low profile stealth missions in both in full view and under the cover of darkness.

We’re excited to let PlayStation players know more about how Infinity Ward is approaching the campaign for this year’s release.

Developing games is not an easy task. Cross-studio collaboration is the central element in keeping the game development process on track. Having a well-rounded team is crucial to creating an AAA title, especially for the Modern Warfare franchise. Infinity Ward leverages the team’s wealth of experience from past games, film and TV productions to ensure this title can be the best game for the player base.

For Modern Warfare II, Infinity Ward will immerse players in a state-of-the-art experience that will immerse players in a stunning, action-packed game, a reality that everyone can enjoy.

With enhanced graphics built via photogrammetry technology, the Modern Warfare II campaign offers impressive visual fidelity and will cover some of the finest details, such as the physics and graphics of the water, to create the most immersive experience yet.

In addition, thanks to the improved shadow systems, the campaign will feature enhanced lighting to create an even more realistic environment that will help players fully immerse themselves in the single player mode coming to Modern Warfare II.

In addition to improvements you can see, Infinity Ward has moved on in upgrades you can hear. Thanks to new engine improvements, this opened up new possibilities for better sound recording and new features including real-time mixing and natural limits to help players focus on the task at hand, dive into the story, and pull players through the missions.

With early access to the campaign, you’ll be fully prepared to use the game’s multiplayer options when they open up at game launch.
