Developer Infinity Ward’s commitment to authenticity and gritty realism in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare seems like a weird one to reinforce in multiplayer. If you’ve spent even a few matches in just about any Call of Duty game, you’ll know that it’s filled with bunny hopping, drop shotting (mostly phased out in recent games, thankfully), and plenty of other unrealistic tactics that just wouldn’t make sense on a real battlefield. But even still, it does feel like Infinity Ward has found some clever ways to elevate Call of Duty’s gameplay that gave me, a bunny hopper, new things to consider that may eventually change my tactics. Maybe. While some of this is, as the developers put it, a renewed need for me to preserve my life in order to earn killstreaks, it was also because of how it truly does seem that Modern Warfare’s multiplayer design is evolving into something a tad more complex.
