The first five minutes of the presentation consisted of gameplay already seen in the live action teaser released shorty after GDC - essentially the initial banter between the troops and the proceeding parking lot skirmish. However, the very next section showed the player and his squad make their way to a rooftop that was being attacked by serious sniper fire....

I’ll save you the history lesson, but over the proceeding 30 years, the genre continued to build upon itself, constantly giving more depth to the systems and adding more and more tools for players to express their creativity with....
