Activision showed an entire level of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 as the hero infiltrates a campaign event involving a U.S. Senator in Washington, D.C. It showed the demo at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, hosted by Geoff Keighley.

Cold War’s CIA operative Russell Adler joins operator Troy Marshall and the pair shoot their way through the American security forces, bringing the Black Ops team in direct combat with fellow American soldiers. And so, yep, Black Ops is going to pit Americans against Americans. The Black Ops team gets the upper hand here using undercover work and a photo of a senator’s retina.
