These may look like basic features for other genres but seeing it on a shooter like Call of Duty added a lot more weight and some fun thinking instead of the numb feeling from previous Call of Duty campaigns that mostly involves you following the objective icon and shooting whatever moves. The segments that don’t involve action set pieces or gunfights are time spent talking to these cast of characters, look around your surroundings, and once the bullets stop flying - make hard decisions that could alter or change the outcome of the operation. But what makes it a fun 5-8 hour campaign was how certain segments were delivered.

On paper, the story is pretty standard stuff. Enter familiar faces like Frank Woods, Alex Mason, Jason Hudson, a set of new characters and a new protagonist codenamed Bell, a custom agent that you play as during most of your time in the campaign. Hiis capture requires a specialized team of individuals to execute operations under the radar. Set in the 1980s, the campaign’s story was your typical CIA operation that involves a manhunt for a guy named Perseus.
