Activision and Infinity Ward have confirmed the development of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The new action game from the creators of the Call of Duty series will toss players into battles in hotspots around the world.

Jason West, project lead at Infinity Ward, said the single player campaign will introduce new gameplay at every turn: “One moment you’re fast-roping from your Blackhawk helicopter after storming into the war zone with an armada of choppers; the next you’re a sniper, under concealment, in a Ghillie suit miles behind enemy lines; the next you’re engaging hostiles from an AC-130 gunship thousands of feet above the battlefield.”

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will also delivers advanced visual effects, including depth of field, rim-lighting, character self-shadowing, real time post-processing, texture streaming and physics-enabled effects.

In addition to single player, Infinity Ward is using a dedicated team to deliver the game’s multiplayer experience.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is in development for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The title is scheduled for release this fall. More at charlieoscardelta.com.
