Infinity Ward announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 on May 28, calling the new game “a return to form” and “darker and more dangerous” than ever before, while promising to bring “long-running storylines to a powerful and emotional breaking point.” The newest entry is set in Korea, where players join a South Korean military squad facing down a full-scale invasion, while on the other side of the world, series regular Captain John Price will return as the leader of a new rogue task force. We went hands-on with the game during a recent preview event, and you can read our impressions here.
