Hey, did you read my hands on impression of the upcoming Call of Duty Multiplayer? You should! I managed to gnab some gameplay footage, so you can now see just how bad I am at the game.

This is Bio Lab, a map that I spent a lot of time on. I was still pretty new to the game in this footage, so the boosting and dodging was all alien to me. You can see me using the double jump though, and you can see just how useful it is. Now imagine I was smart enough to dodge left and right instead of just… up. Also keep in mind that I am a keyboard warrior, so playing with a controller results in some pretty wonky aiming on my part.

If you’re unimpressed with my pewpew skills, you can check out the official multiplayer trailer instead.

It’s obvious that it is still a Call of Duty game, but I do think the change in pace and movement really is a winner. What do you think? Same old shooter, or enough change to warrant some cash from you?

    All seems so familiar, like I’ve seen this again and again, in a semi-yearly event. If only I can put my CTRL+C to where my CTRL+V is…

    Power does change everything, look what happened to mainstream FPS games.

    As with Destiny, jumping and gunning will be a very important skill to master seeing as how you don’t need to just predict strafing movements but also try to shoot a player in the air.

      Hmm, I was also comparing this to destiny gameplay but with power strafing.

      I think this will be a game changer, making the game way more fast paced.

      I’m going to give it a try.

    I lost so much interested in Call of Duty franchise that I coudn’t be bother with this crappy arena shooting which is pretty much the same year out same crap just different skin, this one is a little interesting due to adding verticality and some cool abilities but at the core it’s the same crap they bring out every year…..
