I kind of summarized the interesting points in the IGN preview.
Second demo
- No multiple protagonists, story follows one playable character (and his brother)
- US was ravaged by a "mass event" (not WWIII)
- Completely new conflict (no ties whatsoever to Modern Warfare series)
- The use of Ghost's mask is pure fan service according to IW
- Done with cliche Russian "threat"; players face "resource rich" states (oil abundant South American nations)
- IGN demo shows "No Man's Land" level (San Diego, desolate wasteland, destroyed infrastructure)
- No Man's Land emphasizes stealth; player must navigate contested terrain
- One area has you taking out enemies in gas masks+hazmat suits surveying several mile-wide crater
- Covert combat was distinctly reminiscent of "All Ghillied Up (COD4)
- Your service dog accompanies you
- More than just an AI companion, it's a remote recon scout
- Can be controlled via a tablet-like viewfinder (based off real life Navy Seals)
- In the real-world field, SEALS outfit highly trained dogs with periscope-like camera and specialized earpiece; allows team to see/hear everything dog does
- You can control the dog in-game; can lunge at enemy's throats
- You can bark to lure enemies into view
Second demo
- Underwater level
- Actual battles take place underwater
- Enemy divers submerge from above from boats
- Underwater assault rifle (real life Russian APS rifle)
- Intimate use of cover underwater, behind rocks and reefs
- Verticality in the level; get an elevated shot or dodge
- Enemy subs use sonar blasts which cause damage to the player and cause tremors in the environment
- Player must swim from cover to cover
- Destroy the enemy sub with portable torpedo-like explosive
