What awaited them was something rather different. Firstly, it was set in 2035. No big deal; most Call of Duty games are set in the near future. Secondly, the campaign was designed to be played with other people. Live. It’s even called ‘co-op.’

Wait, you say; don’t that sound a little bit like multiplayer? It does.
