Infinity Ward has gone to great lengths to add water and swimming to the game (in every mode, no less) and this was a swimming showcase. Set in Amsterdam (a location for Cold War also), the portion of this mission that I previewed was largely stealth. I also noticed how crisp and deep the sound effects were during this mission. ![]() ![]() You could see the lit-up smoke pluming off the downed helicopter, and even well into the mission, the chopper’s blades were still spinning slowly.
