Call of Far Cry. Black Ops Gulf War campaign will feature an open world, claims reliable insider

One of the main reasons Call of Duty fans hated Modern Warfare 3 was the open structure of the levels

According to Tom Henderson, the campaign of the new Black Ops Gulf War will be set in an open world, similar to some missions in Modern Warfare 3. However, unlike last year’s Call of Duty, which reused locations and assets from Modern Warfare 2, the biomes in Black Ops Gulf War are being built from scratch.

Henderson’s sources say that the new Call of Duty will be somewhat reminiscent of the Far Cry series, offering players the chance to roam across large maps in various vehicles, as well as use a fast travel system. Classic linear missions will also be present in Gulf War.

The narrative campaign is being handled by Raven Software, while Treyarch Games has been tasked with developing the Zombies mode.

The release of Black Ops Gulf War is scheduled for October 2024.
