There are even levels that are cover band versions of famous Call of Duty levels, like the one where you shoot down at a battlefield from the target camera of a gunship, and the one where you're literally All Ghillied Up and prone in the long grass as soldiers walk around you, and lots of bits where you're walking up stairs aiming down sights behind a few soldiers who are doing the same, which is like Clean House from 2019 Modern Warfare but not as good.
And then the sort-of survival crafting level that felt a lot like The Last of Us in first-person and without the clickers. It's a similar deal with the level that includes a sort of Hitman-style bit where you're in disguise and have a few options for how to proceed. You're jumping from car to car, leaning out and shooting and blowing stuff up as you do in Call of Duty, but it's not as good as Uncharted's famous car chase stuff. It's a weird mishmash of different gameplay types, some clearly inspired by other games but not quite as good as them.
Wes: I think it's good! But I don't think it's brilliant.
Now whether it's a good campaign or not is another question. At least this way the campaign's getting its moment in the sun, and fittingly it feels like the biggest, boldest Call of Duty campaign there's been in an age. In fact, I can't remember the last time I finished a Call of Duty campaign - maybe Infinite Warfare? They can sometimes feel like afterthoughts and it's easy to pick them up for a couple of hours then put them down and forget about them. I love a good Call of Duty campaign but in recent years I've found myself skipping them in favour of the real meat that's the multiplayer modes. Martin: So first of all, before we get to the campaign itself - I'm a fan of the split release. Is it any good, though? We've played through it all and here are our thoughts. And as campaigns go it's possibly as big and bold as Call of Duty - a series that's not exactly renowned for being reserved - gets. In something of an inspired move, this year's Call of Duty is enjoying a staggered release, with the campaign being made available to all those who've pre-ordered Modern Warfare 2 a week ahead of the full release on 28th October.
