The new trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare released Tuesday during Sony’s State of Play places emphasis on the story, with only a small portion saying anything about multiplayer. The game looks as if its campaign is the focal point, a huge change from recent Call of Duty titles. The previous game, 2018’s Black Ops 4, didn’t even have a campaign mode, so this is a welcome change.

 

The Call of Duty series used to be known more for its campaign than its multiplayer when the franchise debuted in 2003. The original Call of Duty won Game of the Year awards based mostly on its single-layer campaign; it even received an expansion pack in which a second, smaller campaign was made. When Call of Duty 2 was released for the Xbox 360 and PC, the campaign was what garnered the most attention. Players loved the varied missions and the variety in locales.
