Activision took to Gamescom Opening Night Live to showcase a story video showing a playthrough of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 “Most Wanted” campaign level. While the video showed nearly seven minutes of footage, the Call of Duty team did say that the video is a truncated version of the mission and the full mission will be much longer.
What the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign gameplay shows
The Most Wanted campaign level begins as a Black Ops team made up of “Case”, Troy Marshall, Felix Neumann, and Sevati “Sev” Dumas converge on Capitol Station in Washington D.C. The aim is to infiltrate the political fundraiser, obtain retinal identification from a senator who has the clearance to enter a CIA Black Site hidden below the building, and retrieve wildcard operative Russell Adler from inside.
The mission offers players a range of choices throughout. The first of those is to find a way to get close enough to the senator to complete the retinal scan. There are three options and there’s a brief look at all of them:
- Gabriel Armato, a fixer for one of New York’s crime families, is trying to retrieve sensitive information from the senator. Can he be persuaded to get a retinal scan too?
- Team up with the senator’s wife, Miriam McKenna, to retrieve a video tape showing his illicit affair. She will then arrange a photo shoot in return.
- Head of security for Aldrain Energy, Grisham, has slipped the senator a note and there seems to be a connection that can be exploited.
Once the scan has been obtained, the team enters the Black Site, but then things go south extremely quickly. Thanks to a mysterious organization known as Pantheon, Black Site has been compromised. Now players have to choose whether they want to continue the infiltration “loud” or “quiet.”
To avoid spoilers, the video skips straight to interrogation Room 4 where Adler is being held. Of course, reaching the exit isn’t going to be easy either. There’s a battle with a juggernaut brandishing a machine gun before the action skips to an elevator bank. That plan fails with explosive consequences. After fighting their way to the banquet hall, the team learns the building is surrounded and they need to improvise.
The video finally skips to escaping through the entrance on dirt bikes. Pursued by Pantheon and the police, we don’t get to find out if the team manages to make it to safety. That, apparently, is up to players.
