Treyarch and Raven Software somewhat spoils parts of this year’s Call of Duty’s campaign.

Dan Vondrak, Raven Software’s creative director, talked about the three missions on Call of Duty’s blog. The first one, Nowhere to Run, is set in Amsterdam in the 1980s, starting in a bar, followed by a rooftop chase and shootouts. „Nowhere Left to Run is a great example of how we wanted to pay homage to the original Black Ops in a few ways that fans will recognize, but also give newcomers a great first taste of what Black Ops is all about without needing any previous experience with the series. This first mission serves as a great way to bring back Woods and Mason as well as introduce one of our new heroes, Russell Adler.

Of course, Black Ops has a well-known history of bombastic over the top moments. It was critical to not only get one of those moments in this first mission but also make it uniquely Black Ops by using the RC-XD, the radio-controlled car packed with explosives from the original game. As the mission comes to an end, the story kicks off dramatically as a ghost from the past is revealed to still be alive and planning something that could shift the balance of power in the Cold War,” Vondrak wrote.

The second one, Fracture Jaw, is a flashback to the Vietnam War, where we look for a Soviet spy named Perseus. „Narratively, these two pieces fit together perfectly as the team has to try and relive their past and unblur the lines between truth and deception. It was great being able to push the big war feeling in these levels, from flying helicopters to being a soldier on the ground fighting through jungles and rice paddies. One of my favourite levels is one of the later Vietnam missions, as we pushed to give the player more freedom and control. It’s easily the most unique mission we’ve ever made,” Vondrak added.

And finally, the third mission, Desperate Measures, have us as a double agent infiltrate the KGB’s headquarters, meaning we’re in one of the key buildings of the Soviet Union. „We wanted the player to experience something different with this level, give them more freedom and control over how they complete their objective. You are given multiple ways to complete your objective, hiding in plain sight as you walk through the hallways of the famous Lubyanka building.  You have the freedom to talk to a variety of people and explore the building – ultimately culminating in an action-packed finish to the mission,” Vondrak wrote.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War launches on November 13 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Battle.net), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
