Activision describes the new Warzone as an "extension" of the Modern Warfare 2 universe, with connected gameplay built on one unified COD engine. Modern Warfare 2 and the new Warzone gleefully hold hands, which should make for a better back and forth experience. One of the big issues Warzone ran up against was incorporating elements of subsequent Call of Duty games that were set in different eras and built on different engines. Mercifully, this is a shared experience with Modern Warfare 2. The water tech also extends to the new Warzone, dubbed Warzone 2.0 by Activision and due out this year. Infinity Ward is trying to make water a fun place to play rather than a sand trap. When the proximity mine hits the water it deploys a little floaty so it stays on the surface and becomes a landmine for boats - and even flows with the current. Similarly, the smoke grenade rises to the surface to billow from there. The flash bang has buoyancy and rises to the surface. I am genuinely looking forward to hunting down underwater enemies with everyone's favourite remote-controlled tank.Įach piece of equipment properly interacts with water, too.

I'm not aware of all the video games ever to have done water well (the games that spring to mind are The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Sea of Thieves), but to be fair to Infinity Ward, Modern Warfare 2's water looks wonderful. I was shown pre-alpha gameplay footage of the Amsterdam-set campaign mission Wet Work, which did a good job of showing off Modern Warfare 2's new water. Water in Modern Warfare 2, however, will, Infinity Ward insists. Of course, the fish had no meaningful bearing on Call of Duty's gameplay. I remember flying to the US to preview Infinity Ward's ill-fated Call of Duty: Ghosts, widely considered one of the worst Call of Duty games ever made, and seeing "advanced" fish AI during an underwater level.
