Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is adding a third-person perspective to specific multiplayer modes to provide another way to enjoy the intense multiplayer action.
Call of Duty is known as an FPS series, but a third-person mode is coming in Modern Warfare II to add much-needed variety. The Modern Warfare II trailer gave fans a first look at the updated mode, showing how it will significantly change the pace of the action.
The third-person mode switched to first-person when the player aimed-down-sights, allowing players to accurately shoot at enemies if needed. Players can also “shoulder swap,” allowing them to get a better angle on enemies if needed. The camera is set a few feet behind Operators, providing a wider field of view that significantly changes the pace of gameplay.
This is not the first time a third-person camera angle has been introduced in Call of Duty. The original Modern Warfare II had multiple third-person mode playlists that added a fun change of pace. It is unclear what modes will have a third-person view option in the latest installment, but fans will likely get to jump into iconic game modes with the new perspective.
Fans will get their first chance to try the new third-person perspective in the Modern Warfare II beta.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II releases on Oct. 28.
