You should play the campaign yourself to experience its various twists and turns.Ĭaptain Price (this time played by the very talented Barry Sloane) returns from the original, though he takes a far greater role in this game than in CoD4.
There are some other familiar faces, as well, though Price looms largest. A talented cast paired with impressive writing and almost lifelike facial graphics and animation makes every cutscene enjoyable. The game’s two primary playable characters are Alex (Chad Michael Collins), an American CIA operative, and Kyle Garrick (Elliot Knight), a British soldier in the SAS. You’ll play as freedom fighter Farah Karim (Claudia Doumit) but only in very short instances. Like the previous Modern Warfare games and first two Black Ops games, the story takes place in “modern” times. Most of the story takes place in fictional Urzikstan though some of it takes place elsewhere, including the UK. The story pits three factions against one another. There’s the united US/UK forces who team up with Farah’s freedom fighters the brutal Russian occupiers of Urzikstan led by Roman Barkov and the terrorist group Al-Qatala led by Omar "The Wolf" Sulaman. Various twists and turns throughout the campaign tinker with this three-pronged dynamic, and you begin to realize that it’s not at all as cut and dry as it seemed at first, but I won’t spoil any of that. The game largely takes place in the present timeline, but occasionally dips back into Farah and her brother Hadir’s backstory. These are the sequences you play as Farah (for the most part). Everything else switches between Alex and Kyle, and you’ll bounce all over the place for these missions.
The game often nods to past Modern Warfare titles, with some sequences mirroring (though not replicating) some of the best moments in CoD4.
