Call of Duty Modern Warfare is built with a new game engine which gives it stunning, almost photo-realistic graphics.

The new COD will see the return of the single player campaign mode, which will boast the gritty storylines the Modern Warfare series is known for.

Multiplayer will, as always, be a big part, with the new Call of Duty boasting crossplay for the first time and introduces the Battle Pass.

In a post online Activision said what Call of Duty fans can expect from the Modern Warfare Battle Pass.

They explained: “The new Battle Pass system will allow players to see the content that they are earning or buying.

“Battle Passes will launch timed to new, post-launch live seasons, so you can unlock cool new Modern Warfare-themed content that matches each season.

“With the new Battle Pass system, players will be able to earn COD Points by playing the game.

“There will be both a Free Stream and a Premium Stream of content in the Battle Pass System in Modern Warfare.

“New base weapons will be earned through gameplay, simply by playing Modern Warfare.

“Functional attachments for base weapons can be unlocked through gameplay as well just like in the game’s Beta.

“The Battle Pass and the In-Game Store will feature a variety of cosmetic content that does not impact game balance.”

And here’s what Activision have said about the single player campaign for Modern Warfare…

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare pushes boundaries and breaks rules the way only Modern Warfare can with an edgy, culturally relevant and thought-provoking single-player campaign
