TONGA TIME
We got a glimpse of the first mission, Operation Tonga.
*Spoiler Warning*
It takes place on June 5, the night before D-Day, with paratroopers dropping in behind enemy lines.
In a possible nod to Warzone, you drop in from the air – plunging through an aerial arena of warfare and dogfighting.
You land in water, surrounded by burning bodies and people drowning, before dashing into the woods.
It’s a visceral and genuinely terrifying scene, that works well to get across the fear soldiers on the ground would’ve felt.
As you creep through the woods, you can hear the ka-thum of anti-aircraft guns firing into the skies.
The next few minutes are very stealthy, reminiscent of Modern Warfare’s beloved All Ghillied Up.
Eventually you make your way into a settlement, and enter combat with soldiers – before finding yourself on the run again out into the fields.
There’s lots of shooting through floorboards and windows, which is brilliant.
It’s a great and powerful start to the Campaign, and bodes well for the rest of the missions.
The game is also very cinematic, even during the parts where the player is in control – again, very on-brand and highly effective.
*Spoiler Over*
