The guys over at IGN AU (http://au.ign.com/) have recently posted up a new Q&A session with Infinity Ward's Studio Head Grant Collier. The article also includes some more new screens from the game. Take a look:
IGN AU: You mentioned during your presentation that some of the mission structure, the narrative structure, jumped into the past, flashback style. How will that work in the wider context of the game?
Grant Collier: We brought Price back. I mean, we killed Price in Call of Duty one, and we brought him back in Call of Duty 2 so we thought 'what the heck' let's have him come in in modern day. And we use that to kind of bring to light a relationship that's been going on throughout history between Zakhaev and Price. They've been each other's arch enemies for a long time. You are actually part of a failed assassination attempt on Zakhaev and you maim him, and you're there with Price so he's had it in for Price for a really long time. And that tension comes up through the dialogue and through the game, and those flashback settings are used to paint the history that they have together.
IGN AU: Whereabouts will the flashbacks be set? In the modern setting you obviously have the conflict in the Middle East - the coup, and the Russian civil war…
Grant Collier: The flashbacks, I believe, are in the Ukraine.
IGN AU: So the main game will be jumping back and forth between those two major conflicts as you play through and the story advances?
Grant Collier: And there are other locations too. It's a global conflict.
