Those guns are actually based on real weapons that the Soviet Union developed in the 1970s. The divers had to stealthily navigate past enemy swimmers and engage them in open combat using underwater guns. In the first mission, we saw divers secretly navigate through a coral reef and attach a bomb to a nuclear submarine.

no longer has the upper hand in weapons superiority and greater numbers, so stealth is the most logical game plan. Call of Duty is all about an epic, cinematic experience, and I fear that this title might swing too far in the direction of stealth. But I’d like to see more of the old Call of Duty: the fast-paced action that made the series great and the intense, emotional scenes that showed you exactly what combat could be like in the midst of a harrowing mission. Three top investment pros open up about what it takes to get your video game funded. That new level featured a military-trained dog that accompanied U.S. And they showed another sequence in advance of E3 last week. The company unveiled an underwater level (pictured at top) at the Xbox reveal on May 21. With Call of Duty: Ghosts, Activision has only showed off a couple of single-player scenes. In that offering, as many as 64 players can fight in a multiplayer arena at the same time, and a single commander can give orders to the troops.

This game couldn’t be more different from what Electronic Arts has shown so far with its Battlefield 4 game, which promises epic combat scenes where firepower rules. Survivors are putting up a guerrilla resistance, and they’re known as Ghosts. A catastrophic event has devastated the southern half of the country, and the American military is in tatters. In this release, the United States is no longer a superpower. But the emphasis in this title is on stealth, as with Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell series from Ubisoft. You can still play intense multiplayer battles and enjoy all-out combat. From what Activision Publishing and Infinity Ward have shown so far at the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ghosts will provide both.
