Throughout the trailer, we get to see the Battle of Stalingrad, and how devastating it truly was throughout the entire city. The protagonist sneaks through enemy lines, taking down German forces along the way, and ends the trailer by sliding down a post office chute, taking down multiple hostiles.

There’s a lot to unpack within this trailer, as the Modern Warfare engine is on display throughout. Mounting is back, and the weapons themself offer a lot of similarities to the Warzone, so that’ll be exciting for players.
