We've yet to see any extensive footage from Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but with the game adopting a new engines, fans of the popular franchise are already expecting to see a difference in both gameplay and the overall look of the title.
Now, via an official Activision blog post, animation director Mark Grigsby revealed that the developers will even bring some interesting changes to the way players reload in the upcoming game, including how the reload animation will change based on how many shots were fired.
“In the past, we would never physically show that transition of one mag to another, but this time around, everything’s physical, so if you have an extended mag, like a drum perhaps, or a long magazine, all of the movements within every reload are visceral, strong, aggressive, it gives another feeling of power and representing the Tier 1 operators that utilize these machines.”
Besides explaining some of the ways reload animation will vary under certain circumstances, Grigsby also revealed one new feature that will be coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
"One other thing we added this year is the ADS [Aiming Down Sight] reload," the animation director said. "In the past, if you’re ADS, and you’re shooting and you reload, the weapon would go off to the side, and you’d have to retrain to get to your target. This time if you reload, it stays on the target, so you can stay in the battle."
While adding the ability to reload while aiming down sights won't radically change the way fans play the game, it should add an fun and interesting new wrinkle to the combat. Also, it further highlights Infinity Ward's goal to reinvigorate the Call of Duty franchise.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is currently set to be released on October 25, 2019 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
