Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II<\/em><\/span>‘s single-player campaign went live last Friday for those who pre-ordered the game, and one early moment immediately blew up online. A brief video showcasing the Activision shooter’s Amsterdam level spread like wildfire, both because it looks almost lifelike at a glance, and because it offered a short glimpse at an alternative to the annualized military blockbuster machine.<\/p>\n

\u201coh my god amsterdam looks *incredibly* realistic in the new call of duty \u2014 almost can’t believe this is a video game,\u201d UX writer and content designer Juan Buis posted above a video of MWII <\/em>on October 21. In this case, the hyperbole was deserved. As the in-game camera pans across the streets bookending one of Amsterdam’s canals, the lighting and reflections make it look like a smartphone video rather than gameplay footage.<\/p>\n
