These maps are graphically identical to how they appeared in MWII, and due to the innovations to movement and general gameplay mechanics present in MWIII, you may find that they play in an altogether different manner.

Bomb Drone: A remote-controlled drone with an attached C4 charge. After activating the Bomb Drone, it can be flown anywhere in the playable area. Its C4 charge can be detonated manually, or it automatically detonates if the drone runs out of fuel, if it is shot, or if it hits water.
Bomb Drones are most effective against tightly packed groups or as a deterrent near objectives. Its secondary use case is as an intel-gathering tool, as the on-board camera allows its user to call out enemies in its view.
Cluster Mine: Throw a device that launches a cluster of smaller mines within the immediate area. Once set, it will automatically detect enemy players within a short radius. The blast is slightly bigger than a lethal equipment explosion, making it possible to wipe out a small group of tightly packed enemies.
SAE: The SAE is like a super Precision Airstrike, as it has an additional jet and the ability to control the path of each strike. There is a slight delay between when the jets are called in and when they make impact, but even with that small window, the SAE is a relatively accurate triple strike.
Overwatch Helo: This drone shares offensive elements with the Attack Helicopter from previous games, except that it follows relatively closely behind your Operator and pings enemy locations. Consider the Overwatch Helo like a buddy from above; it will be helpful in calling out nearby enemies and can even eliminate a few once it does so.

In September 2004, an expansion pack called Call of Duty: United Offensive, which was produced by Activision and developed by Gray Matter Studios and Pi Studios, was released. At the same time the N-Gage Version got an Arena Pack with 3 new Levels.[4] An enhanced port of Call of Duty for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, titled Call of Duty: Classic, developed by Aspyr, was released worldwide in November 2009 with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, being available via redemption codes included with the "Hardened" and "Prestige" editions of the game.[5]
The American campaign begins in August 1942 with Private Martin, a newly enlisted member of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, completing basic training at Camp Toccoa. In June 1944, Martin establishes a landing zone for soldiers participating in Operation Overlord. The paratroopers are scattered, leaving Martin in a mixed unit formed from various companies led by his CO Cpt. Foley, who seize a nearby town from Germans. Martin and his unit are sent to force the remaining Germans from Sainte-Mère-Église and disable several Flakpanzers (anti-aircraft tanks) as D-Day begins. Martin's unit destroys German artillery positions attacking the landing force at Utah Beach. Afterwards, Martin learns that his unit has been assigned to participate in an attack on a Bavarian manor to rescue two British officers, Captain Price and Major Ingram. He learns from Price that Ingram had already been moved to a more secure POW camp for interrogation; Martin and Price infiltrate the camp and rescue Ingram. Martin's unit later takes part in the Battle of the Bulge, successfully securing top-secret documents and stopping an attempt by the Germans to call in tanks.
The Soviet campaign begins during the Battle of Stalingrad in September 1942. Corporal Alexei Ivanovich Voronin and his fellow recruits are sent across the Volga River, many of whom are killed when the Luftwaffe launch an attack. Once across, they call in an artillery strike that forces the Germans back. At Red Square with Soviet officers killing soldiers who retreat, Voronin kills several German officer and soldiers, disrupting the German offense long enough for Soviet artillery to destroy their tanks. Voronin links up with surviving allies in a train station and guides them to Major Zubov of the 13th Guards Rifle Division; Voronin is promoted to Junior Sergeant. In November, Voronin rendezvous with a unit led by Sergeant Pavlov, tasked with retaking an apartment building in German hands. The unit assaults and clears the building, and defends it from a German counterattack.
Call of Duty was developed by Infinity Ward, a new studio formed in 2002 originally consisting of 21 employees, many of whom were project lead developers of the successful Medal of Honor: Allied Assault released the same year. Led by Chief Creative Officer Vince Zampella, development began in April 2002, and the team grew to 27 members by May 2003. At its beginning, the project was nicknamed "Medal of Honor Killer".[6] Using an enhanced version of the id Tech 3 game engine developed for Quake III Arena and an in-house skeletal animation system called "Ares", Infinity Ward set out to develop a new World War II-era video game that, unlike many of its predecessors, placed more emphasis on squad-based play with intelligent assistance from teammates during large-scale battles. The team also extensively researched weapons, artillery, and vehicles from World War II to enhance the authenticity of animation and sounds used throughout the game.[7] The game's budget was $4.5 million.[8]
Another area the development team focused on was their artificial intelligence (AI) pathfinding component dubbed "Conduit". The ability to suppress the enemy with cover fire and clear obstacles, such as fences and windows, was tightly integrated into the squad-based aspect of the single-player campaigns. The AI in the game was designed to flank the opponent, bank grenades, and move from one cover point to another.[2] Lead animation director Michael Boon explained that actions which would have normally been scripted in past games were moved to a dynamic AI environment, in order to help create a different experience each time levels are replayed.[9] While the campaigns were the primary focus, development of the multiplayer modes were tailored to please modders. Zied Rieke, a lead designer, clarified that gameplay and modes were written in script making it "extremely easy for players to make their own modifications to Call of Duty multiplayer".[9]
This is the way Call of Duty has been for a long time. I don't see what the shocker is here. There have always been people running around like crazy with a compact smg, ghost perks, double time, and throwing knives. Call of Duty has never boasted being a "realistic tactical first-person shooter". That is what Rainbow Six Siege is for. I do completely agree that with COD spitting out a new game every year, even though there are two different companies making them so technically it's a 2-year release schedule, it's hard to make a completely new game with new features. I've never been a huge COD fan, but I did enjoy the latest Modern Warefare and now MW2. Battlefield was a disappointment and even though the large scale COD playlist's aren't quite battlefield they are still fun. It's a nice pick it up and put it down shooter and sure, it's the same old crap, but there's not too many games like them besides COD and BF so it's just what's out. I'm not even disagreeing with you, it's a bummer, but expecting a new COD game to be "brand new" is just expecting to be let down.
Game is too fast? Ever think that maybe the problem is you're just old and your eyes are too slow now? I'm joking mostly, this is the case for me pretty much though. I used to play CoD yearly when the original MW2 came out, and despite what people may think CoD never was my only game and I doubt that it was/is for most people. Now I'll occasionally pick up a CoD if I'm craving some PvP multiplayer action and want to relieve some pent-up aggression, which isn't often. I've been strongly considering this one though since the original MW2 was one of my favorites. Sometimes you just need to shoot someone in the face, which can be hard if you live outside of America. These games definitely scratch that itch for me.
Oh I play plenty of "fast" games and love them. I should have been more clear in my initial point: I'm not looking for THAT experience with COD, a game that markets itself as a milsim and calls itself "Modern Warfare." For COD, I want a game more like the classic Battlefield games, personally. A game with this type of gameplay just feels completely out of place with this setting.. this is more like what you'd expect with (to reiterate) a game like Quake.
