Gameplay
James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace was developed using a modified version of the game engine used in Call of Duty®4, a game renowned for its high-quality graphics and stellar controls.
To immerse players into the world of James Bond, several types of exciting gameplay have been implemented. In addition to stealth-based action and tense sniping missions, Quantum of Solace also introduces exciting new features such as “cover action,” which allows players to attack enemies from the shadows while staying out of the line of fire; and “takedown,” which makes it easier to neutralize enemies in close quarters.
