Dave Shelby Welcome to Gamescom What can you tell us about Modern Warfare 3 Well first of all Jeff it is awesome to be here Modern Warfare 3 This year is the complete package.

We're shipping 16 multiplayer maps all from the original Modern Warfare 2. these maps have been modernized with new gameplay and features. We also have open world zombies. This is our largest zombies.

Yeah yeah, this is our largest zombies offering ever. And for the first time it's set in the Modern Warfare universe. And of course this year we are bringing a huge amount of innovation to the Call of Duty campaign. Yes, let's talk a bit about the campaign.

Shelby Uh, Makarov I Know is going to factor into this. See him over there. Um, tell us a bit about what is the what is the storyline? What can we expect from the campaign? Yeah! So for the first time for Call of Duty this year we're doing a direct sequel. you know? Modern Warfare 2.

They asked a lot of interesting questions in their story and Sledgehammer Games is so excited to work with Infinity Ward on the campaign to answer some of those questions and to bring you Modern Warfare 3.. And one of those answers, he's actually he's standing right behind you. He is Makarov. He is our Infamous antagonist.

He is calculated and he is trying to bring the world to the brink of War But not if Task Force 141 has anything to say about it. So we are just so excited to get this campaign into the player's hands. All right. Well, we are going to see a playthrough of a campaign level.

But first, Dave I Want to talk about something new? You're doing open combat missions. What are those? So Call of Duty is known for epic cinematic stories as Shelby talked about. And this year in Modern Warfare 3, we're introducing a new innovation to the Call of Duty campaign that's going to allow players to interact with that story. like never before we call them open combat missions.

Open combat missions are player directed. They allow the audience to play the game the way they want to play it. So if you're like me and you like stealth, you can go in quiet. You can equip I love Falcons complete all the objectives without the enemies ever knowing you were there.

But if you want to go in loud, you can strap on Armor plates. you can go and hit the enemy head-on and open combat missions will support it. You can leverage Vehicles You can leverage tacticals lethals. You can even use your favorite kill streaks in campaign.

Now Open combat missions are really important to our campaign story and they're going to work seamlessly with those epic cinematic missions that Call of Duty fans know and love. And tonight we want to show you an exclusive epic cinematic missions. Okay, uh, set it up for a Shelby what are we doing? Yeah, so this is this logos very first level of Modern Warfare 3. this is called Operation 627.

Arpg is an incredible year, but you're an independent Studio that has been building this game for a number of years and we're excited to tell your story so tell us a bit about the last. Epoch Absolutely absolutely so.

Jeff Thanks so much for having me! First off, before last Epoch I was not in the games industry I was just a die-hard action RPG player that dreamed of creating a community made action RPG And with the help of our community and Kickstarter we've been able to make that happen. And so in last: Epoch Every single skill in the game has its own transformative skill tree. We have 119 skills in the game so far we're adding more every single patch. We also have an awesome deterministic skill system deep and interesting Loot and multiple in-game systems for Endless playability and Jeff Tonight we're excited to announce our newest class, the Rune Master The Rune master has a unique mechanic where he's able to invoke any of 40 different abilities with a single button press, making it super exciting and fun to experiment and find your perfect play style.

And the Rune Master is going to be joining us September 7th and will be available to play here all week at Gamescom Amazing! Well this is such a great story of this game. I Encourage you to check it out and right now we've got a first look at the Rune Master Thanks Judd Appreciate it. Five years ago, last Epoch was a community dream. What if we the players could band together to make the next great Arpg.

What would that game look like? Lots of character classes to choose from, every single skill, fighting skill tree updated for years so we could play. Forever Last debug makes crafting and finding items super rewarding again. it's genius. I Think this is the most Innovation we've seen in a trade system in an Erpg in at least a decade.
